passed out while i was writing this thread but it is now time to be critical!! my issues are so small they don't actually matter but i wanted to bring them up anyway as first impressions

found the time to play the new tomodachi tonight and it is looking like a good game so far. feels a bit flawed but not enough to not like it. might just take time to adjust

Throwback Thursday to the good old days

btw i'm going to be muting people that bring discourse to this site. i have a handful of friends that still hang out on twitter and dear god, the horrors i hear from them about popular series there. don't bring that energy to this platform too. we should be enjoying things and ignoring all of them

so the subscription is actually not that bad at what is probably equivalent to around ten dollars a month. what i will say i dislike is that there is a subscription on top of having paid expansions. not a fan of other games that do this and this is not necessarily an xiv issue, more of a genre issue

ALSO ALSO this is reminding me to mention that crossworlds is on sale and while the digital deluxe is still rather expensive, it is still a super good game and well worth it if you like kart racers and don't have a nintendo console for mario kart 8 or mario kart world, or simply want more racers

one of the sad things about littlebigplanet being dead is that even if they brought the property back, i strongly suspect they would be a bit more restrictive over what can be created and published in it sort of how like dreams had lots of nintendo fangames removed for using it

these are some of the best prices for these games that i have seen on steam. be sure to play shadow generations and sonic frontiers, you will not be disappointed. and the persona sales are really strong, especially for persona 5 which is still the fan favorite as far as i'm aware

the fact this movie has had a massive success and probably brought in even more money than the last but miyamoto is still interested in review scores and seeing how they can improve has honestly made me appreciate the movies more because it means he wants them to be even better

seeing stuff suggesting a discord partnership with xbox game pass and all i can think mentally is "xbox threatens to come for discord next" if they ruin my nitro subscription by trying to bundle in game pass and increase the price, we will be cancelling

about that last repost, it would be so funny if basic online safety started to become a meme and highlight how much oversharing has become the norm to the point people get mad at you for NOT sharing something. would be nice if such a meme made people a bit more respectful in that regard

Australia's cyber security co-ordinator just dropped what I think will be a very useful reaction meme

looks like we have to lock in if we want poogie. they are gatekeeping him so hard. only a few hundred more hours of fetchquesting for my boy

halo will do anything but make a good game without bungie at the helm

i keep waking up multiple times throughout the night and now it is making me irritable in some ways. i just want some decent sleep so i can continue what i have to do. i worry college this week has been a mess and i had to ask them for time to myself to fix a few things which they were okay with

time to go to bed but here is where i am at in progression, also a reminder that poogie is available at level 70 so this is solid

the "user was blocked for this post" account is actually pretty funny even if i do think its lowkey disrespectful to be poking into random interactions people have

not sure if it is a good thing or not that when i talk about the things that happen to me, there are people that are able to relate and affirm the issues that i notice. most of the time, i am already anticipating people to argue about it whenever i talk through my experiences. now that is real rare

feel like i'm far enough into my quest for poogie that i am now able to say that yeah i think i'm into ffxiv. free trial has a lot to offer. not sure if this is a game i would pay the subscription fee for but i believe it depends on the price since i have not seen the price point yet

💙🦋

as an update on this, i have unlocked mounts today and also upgraded the mount in a few of the locations which will save time. and i am also making more gil than i am spending so teleportation fees are currently a minor inconvenience at most. looks like things are going good

You can’t say “Happy Earth Day!” while also promoting AI. It just don’t work that way. Fuck your data centers, fuck your AI and fuck anyone that supports that shit. Everyone else, Happy Earth Day!

it is not easy to hand-draw a map especially to scale even WITH access to just fly over and see what youre drawing from above. genuinely impressive stuff and ive got a massive amount of respect for mapmakers

ive garnered so much more respect for people who drew maps before we had any sort of aviation. they may not have been the most mathematically accurate or sensible maps but holy shit some of them really tried

level 36 has been hit in 20 hours, level 70 is required for the quest tied to poogie titled the great hunt and hopefully it is friendly for F2P

after a lot of back and forth on wondering whether or not the gag of playing an mmo for poogie was worth it, something still made me interested in ffxiv so i sat down to try again and it is slowly starting to click. more tutorials and more mechanics opened up and now encounters have actual combat

all i'm saying is that my girlfriend and i made this a couple months ago if you want to hear music made by people instead of by some slop generators

44% of new uploads are AI-generated, and 85% of their subsequent streams are fraudulent. This is the new tech that all major stakeholders in music are scrambling to profit from

opened a new tab to open bluesky when i was already on bluesky because the timeline is inactive. opened a new tab to open youtube when i was already on youtube because the subscription inbox is empty. when do i convince myself to log off

as a few other things to note, it is really difficult to address all my issues since so many factors play into them and i am aware of so many things, of so many people, of so many possibilities, that it genuinely makes me ill. so forgive me if i forget to talk about some things i say i will

taking this opportunity myself to talk through my mental health as well and i'll leave the details out of it for privacy purposes but also because this thread is not aiming at anyone or trying to cause trouble, it is all about boundaries and about health and addressing hurt

a couple weeks ago something happened to me that honestly shouldn't have surprised me. im keeping the details to myself, i prefer it that way, but ill use that incident to speak on my mental health. 🪡

one of the only downsides to unleashed recompiled (outside of it reviving sonic unleashed discourse) is that it feels like mod focus moved from shadow generations to it immediately. and i just don't think the unleashed style has as much as potential as the shadow style does

friends of artists and writers, speak outloud, make it clear that this is not acceptable, it does not help actual victims of abuse, do not accept censorship, conservatism and puritanism into your lives and social circles with this much ease

paywalling an article or papers used for research and education sucks so much and should probably be banned

no games ✅ no multiplayer ✅ no privacy ✅ what can't this console do?
