The problem isn't too many games. The problem is the current mindset with consumer culture. They want you to have FOMO and purchase / consume the game ASAP. Rapidly binging all new releases is like eating too fast, causes indigestion, but for the brain. Pick game. Play game. Slow down. Have fun.

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

Dragondarch has reached level 44! HP +9 MP +5 STR +3 AGL +1 STA +3 INT +11(!) LUK +5

to anyone wondering if we'll ever go back to the way things used to be... why would you want to? the way things used to be are the conditions that brought us here don't pine for a lost past, because the past sucked more than you remember. learn from all those mistakes and imagine a better future

Why can't the whole game just be on the disc? What's the point of physical media if you have to connect to the internet to download part of the game anyway?

gonna just re-up this thread, if y'all don't mind

Trans rights are human rights.

Even better life advice.

More good life advice.

The saddest squid you've ever seen.

Yoda: “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate... leads to suffering.” *the next day* “Yoda has been fired by the Jedi Council for his hateful and divisive rhetoric during a sensitive time.”

Spidercat, spidercat. Does whatever a spidercat does.

Good life advice.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be. Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

Age verification: The Atari 2600 was the first video game console I played. This was when it was still relevant.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

its wild how slippery objective consensus reality is right now

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

Really not comfortable with the ease with which people are dehumanizing the right. They aren't animals. They aren't sub-human. They are human beings. This is a human evil, and it behooves you to remember that. Forgetting that these people are human is dangerous, because it blinds you.

Hey if you live in Ohio, calling your reps and expressing your displeasure over this upcoming law is worth doing

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

How the hell did they even get this patent approved when it applies to HUNDREDS OF GAMES going back decades? Is there no prior art protection clause in the US?

this is a mood

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

I want everyone to remember that feeling of hope and optimism from the past 12ish hours. Outliving these wannabe dictator fascist fucks will be the ultimate insult, that alone should be your motivation to keep going and keep fighting. Let them know we will celebrate their end and do it loudly.

I hope that some time in the future everyone can truly feel happy again.

Maybe it's just me but making a country where children aren't getting murdered by guns while in school would do more for their safety than making sure they didn't accidentally see a naughty image on the internet.

"You just don't want to work hard" Suck my dick from the back and do it with interest. I have been a fucking contractor since I was 24 years old, I have played capitalism on max difficulty from the word go. It does not need to be this way, period, and it needs to change now.

I'm tired of being cordial. Fuck this country. Fuck this economy. Fuck this job market. Fuck grinding yourself into dust to live. Not live comfortably, not live fulfillingly, no. Just to live and pay the next round of bills. And fuck every last boomer that told us doing this would be the way.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Games for username letters: Drakkhen Resident Evil 2 Athena Goonies II Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen Neverwinter Nights Deadly Towers Air Fortress Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Hero Core There's only one game on this list that I've never speedran.

You know what? Fuck it. Hit me with some gaems.

Can you imagine a government made of this type of politician as opposed to the fascist shit show we currently live under? This country could be a utopia, the resources are there, the humanity and empathy exists, but until we get the right leaders, it will remain a complete fantasy.

This. Itch.io was put in the position of make less money or make no money, so they can’t be fully faulted for the decision they made. This was a decision made under duress, so Visa and MC are the ones who deserve your anger.

'Hello human, nice to meet you'

i genuinely believe that GDQ pushing conservatives and nazis out of its events and doubling down upon support for human rights after they started whining about it like a buncha children who had their toys taken away was one of the best things that GDQ's ever done

it shouldn't need to be said but treating humans like humans is the norm and will be upheld as such.
