so who's gonna fork trenchbroom

when i hear the word "culture" i release the spring catch on my serpa holster, launching my glock into my hand with trigger finger already squeezing, negligently discharging myself in the femoral artery and massively hemorrhaging

is Mr Nobody Against Putin the first oscar-winning film to feature the kermit gulag

I have a new piece up at @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social — it’s about when I got hacked in Dark Souls 2, used hacker tools to unhack myself, and then talked to my hacker years later

listening to an autechre that isnt incunabula and hearing that hihat/crash ktk-cshhhhhh pattern from incunabula's kalpol introl is so awesome, nobody has ever been better at playing touys than autechre

is it some sort of deliberate "oh look how hollow this all is" gesture that the soundtrack on Industry is such total, to use the parlance, arpslop

outside of the game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty and the tv series Person Of Interest, what works of popular art are there where the plot can be boiled down to "the unit€d $tateSS of ameriKKKa has a sufficiently metonymous relationship to big evil computers that you should do 9/11 against it"

wait does that guy who namesearches "chris avellone" on twitter and replies within the minute also do that on here. thats so cool, absolutely nothing better to do than defend a litigious rapey creep

new album new album it's the new album by me tinytachyon a.k.a. lynn portia july tinytachyon.bandcamp.com/album/same-o...

study showing baby chickens also do the bouba/kiki thing got posted on twitter and this guy came up with a hypothesis as good as any imo. next step is to find out which electro and minimal techno artists are preferred by our feathered brethren www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

put off all the really finnicky mixing on my album and now there's construction next door so if it ends up sounding bad when i release it before my self imposed deadline please bear in mind it's only like 60% my fault

layperson discussions of "epigenetics" rapidly approach a sort of folk neo-Lamarckism

what if instead of bluesky it was fireblusky and whenever you clicked the "post" button you heard an unfortunate demon going ooouuuurrrggghhhh

HTRK (hate rock) used to be really fucking good www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTVr...

if you're really into LLMs because you're a humanities person and now the computers can do language, you may be saveable. if you're really into LLMs because you're a tech person and now language can be the domain of computers, it seems you will never produce interesting thoughts for humans again

After a lengthy appeals process and productive discussion with the Blue Sky safety team I will no loinger be sending George Thorogood lyrics to beautiful women on here via DM. Thank you all

"ontologically" is going on the high shelf

okay so either Wake Up Dead Man is written to tastefully float the possibility of Benoit Blanc and the josh o'connor priest being sexually compatible but never act on it, thus inspiring mountains of fanfic, or watching daniel craig on a big screen after one (1) beer has caused madness in my brainpan

Honey Don't is a fun detective romp that's also a dissociative stress nightmare so it's kind of appropriate that it abruptly ends at what feels like the 85% point

major publications are still putting up jesse singal articles because they want to make transgender children suffer, but aren't attributing them to jesse singal, perhaps because his pro-Prostasia, etc, positions are a little too toxic?

kaitlyn aurelia smith's earlier stuff never really clicked with me but this song about [wanting to fuck somebody]/[wanting to support somebody after they disclose a traumatic experience]/[both??? oh my] is a killer opener www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EkZ...

look over to the "what's hot classic" page for a second and the first thing i see is someone's drawing of, in a way that does not seem to conflict with the established lore of that series/game, Blade Wolf from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance with a large sexual belly. shine on you crazy diamond

it took me a minute to realise that the detrans lesbian doing a podcast with that one transfeminist genre writer is the same person who, back while ID'ing as a man with he/him pronouns, got into beef with my then-girlfriend and tried to pull lesbian rank on her. i guess this is one way to win that

feel like EITHER you get to do the whole "aha but is dogmatic atheism not in itself akin to a religion 🧐" shtick OR you get to actually be a christian but doing both is just gauche

one thing that's funny is when USicans are like "what do you mean there's something wrong with our food supply & regulations" because they basically cannot comprehend it being strongly abnormal for food to hurt or kill you www.sustainweb.org/news/feb18_U...

for my sins (buying cultist simulator way back when) i get steam news updates about alexis kennedy's current projects and i can't help but chuckle seeing him talk about hanging out with chris avellone. the Fun Wikipedia Subhead Club. the Definitely Settled Legal Case Lads. the Target-Rich Environmen

thinking about getting really into marbled polecats

feel like EITHER you get to do the whole "aha but is dogmatic atheism not in itself akin to a religion 🧐" shtick OR you get to actually be a christian but doing both is just gauche

"duos habet et bene pedentes" -me as a high end specialist surgeon announcing another successful phalloplasty

the thing about "CRPG vs JRPG" is it's hard to voice the fundamental distinction (inspired by actually playing D&D vs inspired by playing a game based on a game based on D&D) without sounding dismissive but that really is the distinction and they are both good sometimes and bad sometimes. thank's

Polling wonks predict citizens of former country to wander off in semi-random directions, form short-lived successor states, flourish/toil, perish from the earth within roughly a century; longer-term: radical alterations to land itself expected within 10 to 50 million years from continental drift

"skin deep" awesome video game so far btw

"i would gladly lay down my life for two exes or eight metamours"

inexplicably popular trans anarcho liberal racist starts hollering about judeo bolshevism, other anarcho liberals go "hey steady on now, it's just regular bolshevism we're mad about, no need to get anti-semitic about it", another day on the best website

seeing a review of citizen sleeper 2 praise the writing, internally think "hmmm i kind of bounced off the writing of the first one because it seemed a bit too on the nose", screenshot where it describes a scary evil guy as like "ooooh he is so scary and evil that his name makes you shiver"... oh ok!

okay so it used to be that the runoff of tumblr would go to twitter and then the runoff of twitter would go to mastodon servers that had a link to a cohost post as their rules and then the runoff of those servers would go to bluesky but now i'm seeing some of the runoff of bluesky go back to tumblr

im gonna be honest if your primary artistic output is criticism of computer games and you dont seem to have so much as DJ'd a house party i dunno if getting mad at a working artist for saying "spotify etc are causing people to devalue art and removes a bit of the fun of a deep cut" is really the go!
