Wife brought her 100 year old film camera to that pirates game from a few weeks ago and she got this shot that's just perfect

The Ones Who Visit Omelas Without Doing a Ton of Research But Then on the Tour of Omelas They’re Like “Wait What the Fuck Did the Tour Guide Just Say”

If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it! That’s just me though.

reminder for people who run a patreon: their autopilot spammer is due to kick on automatically on sept 30. Disable it here, unless you actually want to spam your patrons with automated sales tactics.

Underrated benefit of being an OG youtuber is you constantly get "Holy shit, you're old" comments.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Worst? I mean, that's a tall claim given the sheer history involved. Not that I think y'all are liars, but sometimes the marketing hype can be a little- [watches trailer] ...Okay. Yeah. That's a contender.

<sigh> Begrudged repost of the day, DAD

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

"tell me, protagonist...what do you think of this world?" "i think there are bad things...but good things too." [chorus of family feud "good answer!"s]

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

And what will I see up there? Probably @taschritter.bsky.social as Falcon Ron blowing snot all over some shit I'm trying to buy or something. Oddly specific, uncomfortable constellation. Need to find alternate methods of prayer

Rest assured Spud, I also am always thinking about Pyre. Even moreso as I'm right about to dive into Hades 2 today which I know will also be a total banger. But when my playthrough of Hades 2 has ended and after a couple hundred glorious hours I set my controller down, I shall look... To the stars.

Thinking about how Pyre from @supergiantgames.bsky.social is a commentary on how systems of justice, redemption, and ascension are also in their own way tools to maintain status quo & abusive power systems Also thinking about @getgianni.com's voice-through in particular because damn, what a series

Maybe the clouds have been really fucking with us lately and deserve a good yelling at, ever consider that young'un

Accidental leak from Shadow's Tumblr alt

this archetype remains undefeated

Think I won't go streamin' tonight. Partially because the new setup has a couple hitches I don't want to solve in the next five minutes, and partially because I'm too stressed due to other factors that a stream would probably turn into a stomachache. Enjoy your Tuesday evening!

I can't wait until these guys are forced to have a $100B equivalent of this conversation.

sorry but lol

Today's a "please don't ask me to make eye contact with another human being, I just might crumple on the spot" kind of day.

Gen AI doesn't actually perform ANY cognitive functions. Hope this helps!

Tell you what, folks, it's been a VERY long couple of weeks, working hard to bring out a LOT of content and navigate a hardware migration in the process. If any of you could toss me a couple of bucks, whether on Patreon or just PayPal, that would mean the world right now. paypal.me/newbiespud

For my 3D printing enthusiasts:

Today's a "fell asleep in my chair and had a stress nightmare in the middle of the afternoon" kind of day.

After nearly six years of getting me through some really hard times, ADVENTURE has gotten long enough in the tooth that it was the last possible minute to replace it, especially with Current Events making certain economic considerations... volatile. I am now operating on a fresh new PC, SURVIVOR.

One exhausting day of upgrading to a new computer later...

I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.

Interested in watching a bit of that Pokemon fan game I was streaming but don't have time for all the archived livestreams? I made a mega-compilation of highlights for easier rewatching! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Be...

Now rendering the largest video project in my life so far, and perhaps the last hurrah for my desktop PC ADVENTURE that has served me well for nearly six years...

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

I spent a long time since 2016 pondering on the motivations of certain people and groups of people. And the closest thing I found to a consistent human motivation really did boil down to: "I am so irrationally afraid / angry / entitled that literally ANYTHING is on the table to get what I want."

Computers are stupid and remain stupid, but we've finally managed to make computers sound smart in the same ways that human idiots use to sound smart. youtu.be/EkPZx6hjG7E?...

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

Gonna call a mulligan on tonight's family co-op stream because dealing with emergencies today has already overloaded my anxiety.

Yesterday's final (yes, for real) Pokemon Salt and Shadow stream is now archived on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO9l...

"I asked chatgpt" "I asked grok" well I asked Achenar from the best-selling point&click adventure game Myst and he told me to bring him the blue pages and NOT to touch the red ones

I have completed my Pokemon tribute for this year, where I pay penance for not playing Pokemon constantly by playing a whole lot of Pokemon all at once in a short time frame

Going live with one final post-game session of Pokemon Salt and Shadow! twitch.tv/newbiespud

Mood Mood II Mood 3 Mood (2016) Mood Eternal Mood: The Done Ages

Anyway, I'm going to go listen to a million more Megalovania remixes while I work today

Last night's triumphant Pokemon Salt and Shadow stream is now archived on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j1s...

Man, 10 years since Undertale, huh

Playing more Pokemon Salt and Shadow! We're deep in the Abyss, but can we climb back out and face the Elite Four and Champion? Let's find out! twitch.tv/newbiespud

It's exhausting, and none of us are infallible, and due to the "one of today's 10,000" rule none of us can know everything about everyone at all times. It'd be nice if we had more than, like, a tiny handful of fringe outlets that we could rely on at all.

Roast em, kings

Havin' a good time so far in Silksong, that's all I can really say. Though I speculate that a lot of people have stronger memories of Hollow Knight (full endgame power) more than they remember Hollow Knight (slow getting lost and dying simulator)
