Like and/or RT if you have more followers than Tommy Tallarico and/or your mother is very proud of you.

In that non-alt texted chatgpt feeding delusions post going around, one person mentions: chatgpt will *never* tell you to shut the fuck up, log the fuck off, go take a nap, what the fuck are you talking about, etc. Unlike a human, it'll endlessly yes, and along with you, *no matter the subject*

There it is. The clam before the storm.

Playing the Lunar Remastered Collection! twitch.tv/a_blue_lobster

Having been a fan of the Lunar games since the Sega CD days, I'll say this. $50 on Steam is a steep ask for two games no one outside North America ever even heard of. It's relying on a nostalgia grab. But you can't have nostalgia for something you've never experienced before.

Tomorrow it's time to get back to streaming. I'll be doing a yap about the Lunar series, what it meant to me, and then giving the Lunar Remastered Collection a look! And if it turns out to be a dud, there's always the next release for the Switch 4 in 2033.

Anyway fuck Autism Speaks and you do not under any circumstances gotta hand it to them

You find your pleasures where you can in this world.

Lol

i went on to find my actual favorite one (which i will find in a second) and maybe got a new favorite in the process theonion.com/jd-vances-fr...

Learning that women like Monique Wittig and Simone de Beauvoir had completely dismantled the idea of a bio-essentialist feminism 50+ years ago was a pivotal moment in my theoretical development, and makes TERF claims of being a continuation of the radical feminist tradition look fucking comical.

the opening paragraph to Nintendo Power's July 2000 reveal of Kirby 64 is insane

We need to remind people that shutting the fuck up is always free and has zero side effects.

they made an ai game where you can talk to the patients but forgot to add in prompt safety controls

The biggest find from a Geoguessr binge last night :]

16th-19th century "it" was used to deny the humanity of PoC. In 2025 "it" is still being used to deny the humanity of others. Disgusting.

Every time I read another obscure slang term quoted in Worcester Sucks, I realize that politicians have been using those same terms since *I* was a kid.

not me forgetting my hometown was the Paris of the ‘80s or more accurately the Toulouse of the ‘60s

For the Worcester political crew, I sincerely hope Candy MAGA Carlson ends up being her nickname for the rest of her career. Couldn’t happen to a nicer Scooby Doo villain.

Made @tk-layla.bsky.social into a Balatro meme a while back. Follow her, she’s streaming right now!

𝐑𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐂 [𝖧𝖾𝗋𝗈𝗂𝖼: 𝖥𝖺𝗂𝗅𝗎𝗋𝖾] - Alright, here we go. We're devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about trans communism. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question about trans communism, the alpha and omega of trans communism questions, and that question is:

Balatro. Jokerless Challenge. Till the new year. Let's goooo twitch.tv/a_blue_lobster

Figured I should at least get in two streams for 2024, and the end of the year’s as good a time as any. Join me at 9pm EST tomorrow for a crack at Balatro’s Jokerless challenge. Stream will end after I win the challenge, or the beginning of the new year. See you there! twitch.tv/a_blue_lobster

the topic of male-to-male extension cords came up and i got inspired

Come play, my Lord! #CursedZillow

Perhaps the second-best thing I’ve done this past year is pick up chess. I always hated it because it felt like there were too many variables, and none of them made any sense. So I followed a bunch of chess YouTubers and realized, oh wait. Pattern recognition’s a key element. Patterns I can do.

he's like when a battlebot's weapon falls off and it spends the rest of the match just kinda having a nice little drive around the arena

I’ve had the chance to reflect on what was probably the worst month I can remember in a long time last year. There are friends who helped me get my shit together between October 2023 and now, and I will be eternally grateful to them. Whether you admit you’re awesome or not, I’ll say it. You are.

scientifically speaking this is Elon’s biggest fuckup yet, surpassing even the banning of Brazil

It’s not an exaggeration to say this pair of games got me into music and my sister into art, especially Lunar: Eternal Blue which was absolutely mind-blowing in 1995 on the Sega CD and the best RPG on the system by a mile.

Me two days ago: so I’m thinking of getting back on Twitter Me today: hey guys nice to see you all on BlueSky

Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny tearing off signs that say "Transphobe Season" and "Racist Season" until they get to the bottom one labeled "Bigot Season"

Stream was decent! I managed to invent Belgian waffles in Infinite Craft blind. Also there was this, a combination of a Peeping Roman and Marshmallow Peeps: ALL HAIL PEEPIUS MAXIMUS

The stars have aligned and I'm hyped to get back onto Twitch. Going to start my first stream of 2024 in an hour at around 11:30 EST with some Infinite Craft!

Happy New Year
