If you've been avoiding Fortnite while the anti-trans wizard IP was in the shop, it's gone now. It was a lousy in-game activation when all was said and done, mainly just generic skins. Here's hoping DAU and purchase metrics tanked while it was live so we don't see this crap again.

Crunchyroll having bad AI captions for Gundam despite actual legitimate captions existing is so wild. They don’t have to use these!! They’re putting in more effort to make their product worse!!

Alright. Time to drive and listen to podcasts for nine hours.

actual quote from a language company executive: “Why should we pay for higher quality translations when people will happily pay us for poorer quality translations?”

First Timesphere of the year recorded and now packing for a nine hour drive tomorrow. Gonna be a long weekend!

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

Being a freelancer is expensive! Some unique opportunities opened up for me and I need your help to make them happen.

When @lexluddy.xyz asked me to contribute to Startmenu's Winter Spectacular, I had another piece in mind. Then I changed it. Then changed it again. I ended up writing about a bad year, my personal failings, and believing in something, even when it costs you. This was the one I had to write.

Soo.. I accidentally made a podcast If you’re an LGBTQ+ creator, ally or know someone I should bring on to talk about LGBTQ+ topics, etc then let me know!! I wanna do this once a week (pref. Friday 7pm CET) #trans #VTuber

Live by these fucking words in 2026. Be SPICY and lend a hand.

Happy new year. You’re all free now

Tales from the Other Site: Over the last few days, people have learned Grok can generate a near-pornographic image of anyone by asking it change minute details of an image, then adding "put them in a microbikini" or "turn them around" to show their ass. This is happening to most women on the site.

Had some really great moments this year, but overall 2025 was host to some of the lowest lows I've ever experienced. Not going to put out much in terms of reflections, or even like GOTY talks outside of the pod because even some great games fell into rough times for me. Here's to a better '26.

TODD & AARON GAME AWARDS 2025 ARE HERE BABY HAHAHAHA GAME OF THE YEAR CALL OF DUTY BLOPS 7 (WHAT A GREAT RPG) WORST GAME OF THE YEAR: CLAIR OBSCUR EXPEDITION 33 (WTF WAS THAT.... FRENCH?? RUGRATS IN PARIS WAS BETTER) GO WATCH ON YOUTUBE WE NAILED IT LMAO youtu.be/Iz_uL6zoX8I?...

I put on a headband for the gym today and I look like if Corey Kispert put on about 60 pounds lmao

Forgot to mention! @counterscottgo.bsky.social and I took this week off from Timesphere since we were both celebrating the holidays during our usual recording times. The first episode of 2026 will be live next Tuesday and will most likely just be us yapping about our years and goals + games.

biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and it's not AI or blockchain or cryptocurrency or metaverse.

My brother may have turned me into a vinyl guy over the last year.

Small follow-up on this: After subtitle headers exposed Crunchyroll's use of AI service Ollang for dub closed captions, a lot of episodes were released with manually "scrubbed" subtitle headers like this. Most likely an order came from above about it, giving further credence to Ollang use being real

It is WILD how people are pissed off because a random daycare - in a place where there was a school shooting less than six months ago - isn't letting random adults *with cameras* into their buildings to "see what they're doing."

Getting looks at the service center because I am playing my Switch instead of just drinking coffee and watching Family Feud in the lobby.

If you follow me, you should follow all the hard work at @butwhytho.net We are so close to ending the year with 7k! Come give us a follow!

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community. Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Prepping for trip + job interview + so much other stuff to do today.

I work in the tech industry and I think there should be a complete ban on all forms of generative AI, and would be willing to give substantial donations to any politician promising such.

Everyones talking about how China rapidly built rail infrastructure but also like check out Mexico's trains.....they built that shit so fast....and they're using cool old stock from Europe....

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

The fact that I can hear the words "Edge Maxing" on an official NBA broadcast is wild lmao

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!” Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know. The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

you can def network vertically, but prioritize networking horizontally surround yourself with kind, hardworking, and talented friends, and it’s only a matter of time before your careers go places also: if you can’t take an opportunity, pass it on to a friend who’d do just as well if not better

How are spending your post Christmas-day some might ask? Well I just heated up leftover bbq, turned on some basketball, and am about to do a rebuild of the Wizards in 2K because I’m A) in a big basketball mood, and B) not ready for the mental challenge of picking which backlog game to boot up next.

i think i like my job and playing video games again.

Anthony Edwards is on another level man.

by this time next year ai will be capable of opening presents with your family, freeing you up to finish those spreadsheets your boss has been waiting on

Ending the day how I started it, cooking and watching basketball.

Was not expecting to see light Xenoblade discourse today lol

Happy Frieza Day!

It’s time, the list you have all been waiting for. The Official and Definitive Weirdest Little Guys of 2025!!
