Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

got sent a very funny clip last night so I spent the morning labbing the interaction to see if you could kill off it and was reminded Urien is the coolest character in any game ever

Damn, this and Silksong both finally appearing this year, putting a bet on Bloodborne 2 stealth drop on December 31st now www.timesplittersrewind.com

Ticketmaster and shitting the bed; name a more iconic duo. *ITV player and shitting the bed during Euros/WC final excluded

No jokes: Mickey Mania on the Megadrive had like an old granny spider boss that little me could not cope with. Pretty sure you actually just walked right and beat it or something in hindsight, but young me just couldn't get that, was in full fight or flight mode.

Sungazer last night is heavy favourite for gig of the year. 10/10 musicians but also mad fun vibe and plenty of crowd participation that wasn't annoyingly forced. Gutted these shorts and t-shirts combos weren't at the merch stand tho

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Finally finished a playthrough of DW Origins, and I do not get how people are loving it. Probably just a different perspective of people who liked the old ones, but this feels worse than pretty much any iteration I can remember (I skipped 9 cos I could tell that was doodoo from the get go)

Outdoor gigs in Scotland, a good idea? When the rain stays off aye Geordie Greep's band is 10/10, could do with another album of material but all great musicians. Was not expecting the jazz-ish equivalent of Slipknot with 2 drummers and percussion

Getting some Greek scran before a gig and the place seems to be playing Greek rap metal or something, I'm down

Putting out another call to help me update the FGC Locals spreadsheet! If your local fighting game tournament isn't on here, please add it, and if it is, help me keep it updated! We currently have👏551 active locals👏listed but I'm sure there are more docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Sioux Falls Pride happened today and there are some thing to love about my hometown.

you bring beauty to this broken world bro

Dr. Who is a terrifying premise. Don't like the idea of an alien that can go any where any time but still chooses to mostly hang out with the British.

Last year I had a bit of a personal challenge to listen to more new (to me) bands and artists. Ended up being a very metal centric year but definitely enjoyed it. This year I've been trying to do the same but broaden it to other genres, but despite music being more available than ever [cont.]

Morning everyone, quick PSA for the unaware There is currently a waiting list for EB4 registrations due to the reg cap. If for any reason you've registered but can no longer attend, please message us so we can remove you and get the next person in Waiting list signups below

Fucks me up every time an NBA related clip shows up on my youtube feed and adam silver is in it, this image pops up in my head

Forgot to add to the gig list on Wednesday, but went to see Chat Pile then and they were immense 🤘 Even QMU's crumby sound mix murdering the vocals couldn't stop it being great. The man had a surprisingly deep knowledge of Scottish cinema too 🧐 open.spotify.com/track/1S4lb4...

I think if an FGC person makes a post about "Previous game in my series of choice is better than the newest release" You should be forced to show you actively compete/ run tournaments for the older game since its so good. Or else we get to blow you up for being corny.

Yes, EDINBRAWL IV has reached the cap of 150 entrants. No, this is not an April fools day post. #edinbrawl

“A.I. makes art accessible.” Art has always been accessible. There was like a six month period where I drew all the sketches for my comics with a lined notebook from the grocery store and a random green marker.

FIFERS MEGAMIX is less than a month away and you don't want to miss out on Scotlands biggest dedicated retro FGC event do you? 👀 With games from Aquapazza to Weaponlord and (almost) everything in between you can trust we'll have something for everyone! Full deets here: www.start.gg/tournament/f...

Announcing two side tournaments for EDINBRAWL IV: Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3! Yes, we're adding more games! They will be community run brackets, with a cap of 16 entrants. Sign ups go live tonight, so don't miss out! #edinbrawl

Back on the gig grind tonight open.spotify.com/track/6NgRSC...

Gaming trend that needs to get in the bin: only discounting collectors and deluxe versions. You can keep your ptw bonuses and shabby cosmetics, I just want the base game at a decent price dammit

GBVSR Scotland crew now live! Just search “GBVSR Scotland” in game to find it and fire an invite at it. Should hopefully help with tracking local players

Didn't give this one enough of a listen when it came out, Earthside got the vocalist from Tower of Power in for some proggy, jazzy, soulful JAMZ in on their last album: open.spotify.com/track/0cArJe...

@dreamboat.bsky.social What is this doing existing before April 1st www.theringer.com/2025/02/02/n...

That's 5 of the handheld Castlevanias replayed, I've softened a bit on Aria, that's better than I remember, but Dawn of Sorrow is not a fun game. Unless I missed something silly, hiding like 90% of weapons behind soul rng and grinding feels naff. Felt like there was little reward for exploration

Don't tell @dreamboat.bsky.social , but looks like Greg Puciato might be hype for VF5 revo

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source
