Some of you on here

I had a stress dream that, with one sentence, made me scream like a character in a horror movie, so there's that going on today

Finding out about Leverage: Redemption's cancellation was simultaneously horribly disappointing and not even the slightest bit shocking or surprising as a ribbon to tie off this hellscape of a year

Game designer: After lots of hard work we’re proud to announce we’ve created the Wheel of Saṃsāra from the ancient Buddhist classic Don’t Get Trapped in the Wheel of Saṃsāra

FFXIV Dawntrail contained a rare instance of an antagonist who knows the power of Skip Cutscene. "What mysteries could sleep within the lost city of gold?" - > [Skip] -> "MY LIEGE, THE LASER FLEET AWAITS YOUR ORDERS."

- Find a new cover artist - Their songs are pretty good, some bops and bangers - Wait, they produce new songs suspiciously fast - Check descriptions and comments - Disclosure of using generative AI tools - Must avoid listening to that "cover artist" from now on This has now happened more than once.

This is every video game now

Yes, I am in fact watching the MST3k every-episode-in-order-more-or-less 24/7 marathon on the second monitor instead of the big gaming event of the season, and I'm pretty sure I'm having a much better time, too

MST3k reveals a very specific sliver of American history where the looming threat of teens falling to *juvenile delinquency* was the era's own domestic crisis blown out of proportion, almost a prototype war on drugs that didn't get far but still gripped the social consciousness for a couple of years

Supergiant Games shared new art to celebrate the Game of the Year contenders at the Game Awards.

Waiting for the archive of yesterday's stream of the new Warframe cinematic quest? I'm... not sure why you would be, but just in case, here you go! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZVU...

it's gonna be refreshing not watching the gamer wars this year. i'm finally sick of it being the geoff keighley self-fellating hour after how much of a piece of shit he's made himself out to be lately. i'll get all my World Premieres and important news afterward or whatever

It's still not AI, folks. It's plagiarism, theft, and disinformation algorithms that are racist, misogynist, and dangerous because the people programming it are human voids ...but it's not AI. Even indulging the misnomer is part of the problem, to me.

gonna be a big week for this one

TFW u open BlueSky and a bunch of ppl are vaguely posting about the same shit

Going live soon with Warframe's newest main story quest, The Old Peace, for a fresh blind reaction, as has become tradition on my channel! twitch.tv/newbiespud

There's no way back. We can't go back. #Warframe #WarframeFanart

Yesterday's slow and steady progress-making #Satisfactory stream is now archived on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQwy...

Hi humanity, it's me again – the demiurge. Good job on finding the activation phrase ("airport lounge workout area"). You've now completely plumbed the possibilities of depravity within your hellish false reality, so please stand by as I unlock depravity level 2. Again, congratulations!

In case you forgot, we moved our co-op game night to Mondays. Back to Satisfactory! twitch.tv/newbiespud

People say this a lot and it's a fundamental misunderstanding of the "GPUs" in question. Server GPUs are not graphics cards as you know them. They won't work in your PC. They have a few other uses but their main strength is computation, number crunching. When the bubble pops most will end up junk.

I am not the originator of this insight, but: we do not actually know what is ADHD and what is post-traumatic stress, because our society does not produce untraumatized people with ADHD.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

We need to permanently retire "get that bag" and bring back the shame of selling out!! Sorry!!

Ah, is it time for silent panic attacks because my brother is insisting on continuing to play TF2 even though he's really bad at it and has to let the world know his grievances And here I was wondering why I've been doing so much factory gaming this week

Well. Huh. It's even a proper old-school isekai: The displaced protagonist wants to go the hell home, not be involved with whatever-the-frell is going on in this new hostile environment. It is *not* a power-fantasy dreamscape. You win this round, K.

Light it up, let's go! 🔥 A new song by award-winning guitarist Tom Morello, featuring Beartooth, is making its way onto the Arcadion stage in #FFXIV! Here's a message from Tom and a preview of the upcoming track, Everything Burns!

everyone please appreciate this little #pixelart bunny i made

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

#Soulframe gets a lot more interesting once you realize the basic premise is of a world that gets conquered and polluted by an oppressive force from another planet / dimension, but they didn't count on this being an actual fantasy world brimming with nature magic and now all the spirits are riled up

Yesterday's beginning-of-FICSMAS-and-oil-power #Satisfactory co-op stream is now archived on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=exkf...

Came across vids of devs trying to use GenAI to create "reactive" game NPCs... Viscerally reminded of lackluster forum RP threads where everyone comments on the current situation and then verbosely does nothing for like five pages... And that's *before* the breakdowns into pure gibberish...

The new(est) blueprinted Diluted Packaged Fuel rigs worked perfectly. (Once I remembered to hook *everything* up properly. Ahem.) Plus, Nyx got our Ficsmas site prepped and Spud improved plastic & rubber production, among other upgrades. Great progress this session!

Due to scheduling conflicts, our family co-op night is moving to Mondays, so let's jump back into Satisfactory! twitch.tv/newbiespud

So The boulder in RE5 is thematically both the end point of Chris’ character arc as well as a representation of the player overcoming their fears and defeating the Evil in Resident Evil. It’s arguably one of the most thematically poignant moment in RE5 — yes really. 🧵1/13

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

This is me politely asking you all to review this skeet and, as a result, think twice before engaging in "smell-this 'activism.'" DID YOU SEE THIS AWFUL THING THIS AWFUL MAN SAID HOW ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GUY, ISN'T IT HE TERRIBLE OK, so... why are you his street team? Why are you signal-boosting?

ANXIETY: Nothing in your life will ever go right DEPRESSION: You’re worthless and you’ll always be alone GUY WHO REALLY LIKED MAXIMO GHOSTS TO GLORY FOR PS2: Capcom should make another Maximo game. I’d buy it

The "Century 21 Calling" #MST3k short only gets more fascinating and darkly funny to rewatch after seeing how telecommunications technology has advanced and, simultaneously, how telecommunications corporations have collectively screwed with us.

AUTO from WALL-E but he's Gilgamesh (minus one arm) holding a weapon in each spoke, send post
