Newgrounds. it's had its share of bad people but i still mostly look back on it fondly, and am delighted that even now long after the death of flash it retains its integrity and creative spirit

nobody has adequately explained to me why i should care even a little about birthrates

welp, if Will Fucking Stancil can do it you can too stop posting, go outside and throw yourself into the work of resistance

hypermimetic exclamations do as much damage to the mind as repeat LLM usage posting a reply like "none of those words are in the bible" and "sir this is a wendy's" have the same effect as consulting with chatGPT for an hour

Do not let big name orgs seize this moment to control your reaction as they try to quell your righteous anger. They have no authority to dictate what a “proper” response is. That fucking gestapo pig murdered an innocent person in broad daylight, and the government is trying to cover it up. Be angry.

heavily considering moving to NYC. Heavily.

Reclassifying the urgency of the first stage of fundraising to high after doing some calculations. Any amount appreciated alliteratively.

tapping the sign until my finger fucking breaks

hmm Hmm

FGC take note, it is actually possible to make your community less toxic if you put in the work

don't think i've ever seen a faker discourse on here than this animal crossing thing lmao please go outside

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

The scylla of everyone treating every news story like they just started paying attention and acting naive and brand new The charybdis of pointing out nothing is new and acting jaded and above it to the point of denying new contexts and realities to stay safely embedded in left ideologies

i keep saying to go organize locally, because its the only way out of this. you want a long-term solution? stop waiting to be saved and start building that solution. there are people around you doing this work. you have to make the effort to work with them. and no, the answer isn't elections

it's clear that calling and voting won't help us here i can't say it, but we all know what needs to be done and we need to stop posting about it and actually put in the work to make it happen can't pin your hopes on a lone actor either build it wherever you can, teach normal people how to help fight

Annoyed that the "Wow how did Rance make it on steam but Horses got banned?" discussion point quickly pivoted to "We need to ban Rance" instead of "Valves internal guidelines for what is or isn't allowed is nonsensical"

is it any surprise that i'm the way that i am

I can't stop thinking about the guy hitting a clip in dig dug

season's greasons, gamers

i'm not gonna bother trying to engage with the AI discourse anymore i recommend you do the same there's nothing to be gained from it, and the biggest problems will sort themselves out with the coming economic crash. i will simply wait for my enemies to fall on their swords. That is inevitable.

I have now been yelled at for: 1. Not being mad enough about E33 using AI 2. Ruining E33 for others by telling people it used AI 3. Being too mad at E33 for using AI And at this point I just don't want to touch the subject because it's just a vortex of misery, paranoia and recriminations.

because the USA seem to be the only country in the world that bet on hyperscaler hosted AI models instead of open source AI models usable on smaller systems from smaller datacenters to ordinary PCs and even phones.

I don't think AI will ever fully go away again however when it comes to the hyperscaler focused US-american AI industry with "Open"AI, etc. I actually think it's possible it could go away again

this game is fantastic and has my highest recommendation buy it, i promise you won't regret it

it came free with flame hyenard. literally you can just burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground! burn to the ground!

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

i'm very unwell

The Internet was never perfect but it used to be usable, functional. I know how we got here and I want the old Internet back. I want forums back. I want personal sites. I want stuff not written by a machine. I just want shit to work again.

It’s safe in the cube… (Funny lil deadlock post)

"Indian food tastes bad" is the American fascists' version of "2+2=5" from 1984, a statement so self-evidently bullshit that to agree with it represents the final surrender of an individual's free will

so insanely fucking real for this

what do you mean mobas can be fun. thats horrifying. dont say that. if i ever play another moba you have permission to remove my hands

the scariest thing in the world is realizing i actually dont mind the moba formula i just hated the point n click gameplay and deadlock filled a niche i didnt know i needed filled

this headline is downright malpractice, what the hell are you doing

"are video games art" is the dumbest and most pointless question because everything people make is art. all of it. 100% tools are art, clothing is art, food is art so obviously games are art, even before the "video" part can you look at a deck of playing cards and tell me there's no art to it?

you can just not get on with someone without them being hashtag therapyspeak toxic, art can not be for you without it being a case of morals. the world does not exist for you and you alone

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

Embarrassing that even people on here believe in such as thing as "objectively good/bad" art. Opinions on art is based on your emotional reactions to it. Absurd to think you or anyone can assign an objective rating to it

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

AI might genuinely push me off this site. now, i need to preface, i'm not pro-AI at all. i don't use it. for anything. but people can not stop themselves from saying things about it that are just fucking wrong, and when people try to correct them they're accused of being pro-AI propagandists.

sorry bro i'm keeping my old ass un-updated android phone until it explodes in my hands

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

"We have decided that difficulty curves, skill tests, filters of any sort or complex narratives would alienate the theoretical 5-year olds who are the only ones playing our games now, so we removed them. Thank you for understanding."
