DoDonPachi Daioujou ~Death Label~ is probably one of the hardest games I've ever played, maybe one of the most punishing ever made, and this person is a fucking cyborg. Ridiculous reaction times here.

I didn't forget or forgive. Target, Brave Software, Chik-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, Chik-Fil-A, Barilla, fuck all these homophobic, transphobic, queerphobic shitbags.

You know Taco Bell thinks way too highly of themselves when you can order a huge amount of chow mein, egg rolls, and spring rolls for less than 4 half-ass bean burritos Don't even get me started on the price of a fucking crunchwrap ☠️

Current work mood is anarchist death metal

Managers just asked people to sign up for 2-3 hours of OT today if they can, and I am absolutely the fuck not signing up for a 10-11 hour day on a Tuesday

Super glad I pulled out my portable systems for the first time in a long while yesterday. Turns out the PSP battery is so bulging so much that it popped the top off the battery case, and it probably would've exploded at some point. Thanks to China, you can still buy new batteries super easily!

One thing I kinda miss about being a kid is when I could sit on the floor in front of the TV and not feel like my body is in hell

One thing you can count on is that liberals claiming "we are all antifa", most of whom previously turned on antifa activists in 2020 and supported police, will be nowhere to be found if any of us get attacked or imprisoned as a result of this. Never see any at court appearances I've been at either.

if any part of you genuinely believes erika kirk forgave her husband's shooter out of christian grace and pure humanity then you are a fucking mark. don't make your own decisions.

I’ve said it before, will doubtless say it again: These folks are going to be permanently resentful because they’re seeking political power as a substitute for cultural power, and it’s never going to give them what they actually want.

I wonder sometimes if liberals have ever looked up what neoliberalism advocates for, whose policies embraced it, and whose theories inspired it. There are reasons people like Noam Chomsky and Richard Wolff are not so keen on it, though folks share reels of both as if they're on the same page.

I'm still laughing at the thought of the guy who punctured my balls pivoting to neuroscience or psychiatry like it's no biggie Dick and balls restorative medicine

It's fascinating that people with goofy theories about autism and vaccines are all people who either have zero medical or scientific expertise, or whose expertise is something else. It's like asking the guy who did my vasectomy to give me a bipolar disorder dx. There's a reason doctors specialize!

One thing I'll say for digging through the collection is it's a great excuse to revisit old hardware. The Switch is very cool, but goddamn, did Nintendo know how to make a proper handheld. The 3DS and DS still feel incredibly durable and well-made, and the screens still look fantastic for their age.

I've known for a long time that my gaming backlog is bad, but after adding my collection to Infinite Backlog in an effort to get it under control, it's even more horrifying than I thought. Across both physical and digital games, I have around 957 games in my collection, and I'm still adding more.

Violence against protesters is fucked up, but it's also a catalyst. Many people conceptually understand the nature of the state, but full comprehension comes from being directly confronted with it. It can be a real shock, and every time they show their true face, more people become radicalized.

Antifa is not just a word, and it continues to enrage me to see a bunch of do-nothings and peace police co-opting the work of radicals who've taken on considerable personal risk, sacrificed, been doxxed, severely injured, or killed in an effort to fight fascists with more than platitudes.

I've been bad at checking in with people this past year especially, and no one really checks in on me, but I think about a lot of friends and comrades every single day. Some still with us, some not.

Members of Black Rose/Rosa Negra have helped to organize a speaking tour for Black Panther Party Veterans JoNina Abron-Ervin and Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin in October. The two will address lessons from their experiences relevant to fighting fascism. www.blackrosefed.org/events-drivi...

As much as I support prohibiting ICE from hiding their identities, I know nothing will stop them from doing it, and there will be zero consequences if they don't comply. The only people likely to do anything with that information anyway would be radicals local to a given area. So like 5-50 people.

Everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell. 95 House Democrats (including Jeffries!) just voted to honor the life & legacy of Charlie Kirk. Only 58 voted no. 38 voted present. clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/rol...

When leftists talk about the Democrats helping lead us to fascism, Neera's consistently been one of the worst culprits for many, many years. So no, it's not terribly surprising she's quoting Ezra Klein and supporting the idea of anti-abortion candidates.

No matter how much corporations, politicians, and the media try to gloss over it, Charlie Kirk made a career out of manipulating a mob and selling hate. Whether you think murder was justified or not, he was a scumbag, liar, and bigot who harmed countless people. Pretending otherwise is pure fiction.

On a brighter note, most of us under 50 stopped watching TV years ago or barely do. We were raised in the abyssal corners of the internet. Circumventing and subverting content restrictions and copyrights is in our blood. While govt media control is a big problem, most of them are tech illiterate.

Jae Matthews somehow makes every single one of their tracks sound horny

I don't post pics of myself on public socials, but it gets tempting to post pics from high school, just to lol at the difference. People would be shocked at how femme I dressed at 16 and 17 vs. the shaved head and boots look I rock now. Think Brian Molko from Placebo in the 90s, I guess?

My friends and I are obsessed with a particular record label in Germany, and have done group orders with them every time they release new stuff for over 20 years. They set copies aside for us even before we order. This marks the first year we can't do it because of course, no shipping to the US.

I don't give a shit about Jimmy Kimmel in particular, dude's a dial tone, but government overreach into controlling media, art, or literature is so extremely dangerous. At no time in the history of any country has it ever yielded a positive result.

I never expect people to educate themselves about bipolar disorder, and a lot of info online is hugely oversimplified, but it would be cool if people would stop thinking it's simply 'mood swings'. Like uhh, the book The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide, which is excellent, is almost 450 pages long.

Antifa isn't short-hand. It's a very specific, decentralized movement and concept. Inherently anti-capitalist and anti-state. There's a reason the agitprop says Antifascist Action. 161. AFA. You're not antifa just by being 'against fascism'. Don't co-opt work and sacrifices you've never made, libs.

Registering to protest, under the auspices of "connecting people", as if it takes anything more than just showing up, is ridiculous. PDX pulled thousands with flyers for months, fought harder, and made more of a dent than 50501. Mostly strangers. People connect organically. It's not rocket science.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

After seeing their shocked Pikachu face that the machine Rage Against the Machine was raging against is them, I'm really anxious for conservatives to learn that George Lucas based the Empire on Republicans and Nazis. Your childhood favorite is literally about radicals kicking your ass in space.

Yeah man just put your name on this subopena-able list in the week when Republicans are declaring war on “the left”, what could possibly do wrong.

The far right likes to lump liberals in with "antifa" and "the far left", but understand this is just a catch-all, and white cishet liberals are like last on the list. You're not antifa and you present almost no threat. They're more afraid of my lawyer and trans friends than they are most of you.

Also, for several years antifascists and anarchists have told you folks about this coming and explained what Ds and Libs are doing (compromising and conceding) would be the death knell. You believe now or you need gas chambers and concentration camps, jackboots and uniforms like you did before?

The US game industry is notorious for firing the entire development team immediately after they finish a game, or buying the studio (sup Microsoft), but it seems waay more common for folks in Japan to stay in one place for many years. I've known folks who worked at studios like EA, it's a mess here.

Hurting people is always the point

cursed sentences: “This webinar is brought to you by The John Birch Society.”

“Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime,” Meanwhile, Brian Kilmeade goes on TV and says people should be given lethal injections against their will, but we all know what this rhetoric is really about.

Someone just asked me what Github is and woo boy, did my neurodivergent ass have a real hard time restraining myself from giving a long technical explanation that no one asked for. I still sent a paragraph back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Watching Hackers, Bloodsport, and Conan the Barbarian like 900 times made me the person I am today, probably

I've confirmed this morning that it's impossible to listen to Prodigy's "Voodoo People" without imagining the scene from the classic 90s film Hackers, which I know for a fact motivated thousands into becoming hackers despite actual hacking looking nothing like 99% of the movie

ICE kidnapping in North Portland this morning

These deployments let them harm POC, the homeless, and trans people, while also feeding the fear that frenzies their base. In their ignorant minds, Portland has burned to the ground, Chicago is a war zone, Memphis is a cesspool, blahblah. The illusion of 'tough on crime' makes them feel big.

lololololol

The Gex trilogy from the PS1 days are getting remakes, which basically no one asked for, but the Shadow Hearts trilogy, Legend of Dragoon, Xenosaga, or Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga remain in antiquity. Goddamn you, game industry. Look at this crap. $269 fucking dollars. I paid like $20.

Literally all he has to say about recent events as the Senate Minority Leader. The budget. Absolutely gutless.

I can't properly describe turning 18, and in rapid succession, we got Columbine, resulting in my friends and I being kicked out of or followed in stores and restaurants, 9/11, then Bush winning due to the electoral college going against the popular vote, and everyone got amped to kill brown people.

Making no effort to dismantle, and often voting in favor of, the mass apparatus of war, surveillance, targeted killings, torture, and suspension of due process that began during the Bush administration is one of the greatest failings of the Democrats. They had 25 years to do something, anything.
