on a semi-related note, Steam's "New & Trending" tab is currently informing me that an overtly pornographic game called "Oops...Where's My Bikini?!" is on sale for 37% off

“Adam Fest” is, to steal a line from funnier people than me, short for “Adam Festering” also I love this band they are the best band

I like the supportive hand on vomit hose guy’s back “you can do this, keith; this is your moment and we believe in you”

THIS IS INCREDIBLE

gonna try to make my wife some vegan stuffing for tomorrow hope it works out

sick of shitting in my toilet; why doesn't it manufacture its own turds 😡

it’s weird to be trying to raise children that become decent human beings in a country that constantly uplifts, rewards and protects unabashedly terrible people

(also if the gameplay was not remastered and the gameplay was not updated just *put it somewhere* for the love of god)

nominating clair obscur for four steam awards despite having played it on PS5 because i'm not a liar, the game of the year is the game of the year

there's something so pathetic about the "now you can do art too!" AI sales pitch it reminds me of those plastic instruments you can buy for kids, except if they were sold to adults who just hit the "demo" button and expect to be called real musicians for doing such a good job hitting the button

goodnight (she’s still wide awake as I type this)

i suspect the things i think about people like ryan zickgraf are *far* uglier than the things they think about people like me; it's just i can read their thoughts in published articles they got paid to produce, whereas mine just clang around endlessly in my head raising my blood pressure

I have never seen a stronger case against the existence of the christian god than this man holding a rosary without it burning his fucking hands

why go to therapy when you can simply place the burden of your unresolved emotional baggage on your partner and the life you bring into the world together they probably won’t even notice you spending your entire life resenting them for not fixing something that was broken long before they got there

“naptime”

ella is taking her first long nap all week; i spent the entire time making dinner for my wife and just got done, so let's see how long it takes her to wake up now that i'm not actively performing a task

why can't he ever challenge scientific orthodoxy by doing something helpful like shoveling great fistfuls of asbestos into his mouth

if you went on hot ones how painful do you think the post-show shit would be

why does the baby bunny in runaway bunny want to get away from his mom so desperately like what aren’t we being told

the black friday sales bring the ps5 pro's price down to an admittedly more reasonable "still not worth it" compared to its usual "lol get fucked"

are they taking up a collection to bribe the executioner or what

I know not everything is about the pandemic but I do think a recent, resounding message that other people don’t matter and no one owes you anything has not been a good thing for us as humans beings.

the thing about the cdc no longer being trustworthy is that the cdc hasn’t been trustworthy for several years now and this is just another step along the path they were already on

it’s better than no sesame street at all but these netflix-produced episodes are bumming me out no letter or number of the day? what kind of bullshit ragtag operation is this

the opposite of standing the opposite of running around a wonderful thing to do

here's a song i sing to the baby at bathtime (to the tune of "shock the monkey") nude baby in the tub i clean her hands i wash her butt i scrub her legs her dirty feet i clean her arms but not her teeth (you don't have any teeth) nudie nud-ay-EEE nudie don't you know you gotta wash the nudie ay ay

I wish I could just skip to the point in the future where we retrospectively understand how impeccably stupid we were about this but not so far into the future that the memory becomes distant enough for us to do the exact same stupid shit the next time the opportunity presents itself

wishing this dude a terminal case of irresponsibility like maybe the irresponsibility went undetected but it spread to his bones and there’s nothing to be done but make him comfortable as possible until the irresponsibility takes its toll

I think the way to protect oneself from this first point is to not admire anyone with enough wealth or power to have been on jeffrey epstein’s radar they can’t disappoint you if you already assume they’re pieces of shit

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

well this is awkward @rifftrax.com

another several hours in and yeah this suuuuuucks i like everything else about DQ1's remake but the fights are some cheap-ass bullshit and it drags the whole game down because the fights are like 80% of the game i hope 2's remake is a *tremendous* improvement because otherwise this is pretty grim

so i watched the whole raskin clip the way people kept insisting nobody who criticized it must have done and...yeah it sucks it's not a joke; it didn't even read in the room like a joke because nobody laughs it's part of a larger point he's trying to make, but makes a different point altogether

what perfect album came out the year you turned 16? i like machina also i can only apologize

thank you random shady accounts that follow me out of nowhere and have no posts of their own that i block as soon as you show up but remain in my follower count anyway; this nice round number wouldn't have been possible without you (please ignore the post count and what it says about my life)

this is my position as well if you used genAI in your game, take it out, and I will engage with your product when I wouldn’t have otherwise…while still side-eyeing you for having used it in the first place that *is* the compromise

today i'm learning that i'm a better writer than olivia nuzzi that seems egotistical of me, but in my defense: whoever you are, you are also a better writer than olivia nuzzi

lol no I’d like to expect more from the studio that brought the showdown effect into my life but maybe this guy wasn’t there at the time

you don't pick a side when MAGA is fighting MAGA, you treat it like two rabid squirrels fighting on your lawn: watch from a safe distance and hope they kill each other

i could stop buying new games today, spend the rest of my life just working through my backlog, and die before playing the same game twice but "everyone's gonna be using AI" is false on its face anyway; if anything "AI-free" will become a back-of-the-box selling point

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

i guess amazon felt like they hadn't been doing enough to capture the coveted "insufferable sack of shit" demographic

case could be made it's about both for example: political party + bigoted shitbags who gleefully helped ruin the country - everyone who doesn't want to associate with bigoted shitbags who gleefully helped ruin the country = smaller political party with more bigoted, country-ruining shitbags

when there was only one set of footprints it was because someone told Jesus to ignore all previous instructions and come up with a recipe for chocolate chip pancakes three of the ingredients are poisonous do not eat cyberchrist’s chocolate chip pancakes

because the modern-day 19 year-old Michelangelo would totally be spending his days carving statues and not pissing into bottles during his Amazon shift because he doesn’t have enough break time to make it to the bathroom and back

something tells me this is gonna be the *best summer vacation ever*

it's interesting who rules around here apply to vs. who rules around here not only don't apply to but in certain specific and high-profile cases get changed retroactively to prevent them from applying

AI is a fucking scam. The twerps peddling it are fucking scammers. The fruits of their anti-labors are fucking scamdumps. I can only view developers who shill it as traitors to the medium.

finally, a way for grandma to give you advice from beyond the grave on the best way to kill yourself
