suddenly very intrigued by Skate Story also i saw what u did 🔍

tragic: i've collected all the creatures in this lo-fi girl to-do list game. how am i supposed to complete my little tasks now

i'll be uncharacteristically direct this time and say that the KS is 10k out with ONE week left and i need everyone on this game's team to make rent and have enough to eat. i can't overstate the importance of trans gamedevs continuing to create in a hostile industry. please support if you can!

I am fascinated by how ubi has welded the aesthetics of politics in its games and marketing for decades, but always been profoundly cowardly about engaging with them. Political aspartame.

The tank's role is to draw aggro

imagine being this militarized and getting this riled up by someone in an inflatable frog costume that renders them completely harmless to you lol

Caves of Qud (2024)

I think this is bang on, and gets at a sense of what I see in play with stuff from Dwarf Fortress and Qud to Rimworld to Crusader Kings and the Sims: a desire to understand the world, whether a familiar or an alien one, through play

someone call the etsy witches this is a fucking emergency

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline: AB 82/SB 497 AB 1084/SB 59 SB 418 AB 554 AB 728 AB 678 SB 590 SB 450

weeks ago i saw an older woman standing alone on a busy street corner with a sign that said “KRISTI GO NOEM” — but Kristi Noem wasn’t even here now’s your time to shine, lady

what was health insurance

When your custom character appears in a cut scene

these are the kind of things that perhaps a Head of Communication might identify. some sort of Community Relations Professional. an Expert In Soft Skills who might correctly recognize the political nature of moderation and enforcement that prioritizes minimizing brand damage and community unrest.

here at the Katie Tightpussy School of Optics we like to stress that Optics Matter. one example of this is that even if link's post is actionable (which is debatable but besides the point), an immediate perma of a vocal critic is a bad look, especially when you're already being accused of racism etc

If you're trying to remember your Urbans this rhyme helps: If your Urban's in Lord of the Rings, and not the one who croons and sings, seek ye Karl swarthy and gruff, and avoid Keith who is not tough.

good morning i walked face-first into a spiderweb on my way out of the house for a run, and then i walked face-first into the same spiderweb when i got home (she rebuilt it) 🥲

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

Weird energy outside Portland’s ICE facility. Probably 100 people scattered around the area, seemingly a mix of protesters and counter-protesters. One guy seems to be looking for a fight from the protesters, who aren’t interested. “Are you scared?” he asked. “No, just annoyed.”

when leonardo dicaprio says it’s gonna be one battle after another

these freaks think they can still act like aggrieved outsiders when they run the whole fucking government

when leonardo dicaprio says it’s gonna be one battle after another

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

I don't think they should stop here but I think electeds getting in the way and getting arrested like this is one of the better things they can do about ICE right now and any who aren't doing so are worth less than the ones who are doing so.

I'm not a big fan of Jack Dorsey but I have to admit that one of his better ideas was, instead of getting into posting wars with users, he would go off to a yoga castle and eat hallucinogens for two weeks

In the space of two days I had to get a tooth and my windshield fixed. In unrelated news, I have a Patreon. For as little as a buck a month, you get hundreds of fun, colorful paper minis, and I get to do things like fix my tooth and windshield www.patreon.com/trashmobminis

you have to be sincere and you have to get weird with it

this shit is so corny i’m sorry 😭

maybe it’s time to bring webrings back

if you are cursed with engineer brain, know this: root cause analysis works on people too. you can use this to figure out why someone is upset, and apply that knowledge to make them no longer upset

I do not think a "letter of the law" interpretation of TOS can ever function well. There will always be people playing the game and posting morally reprehensible shit that is worded in a way to evade bans. At some point you have to just say "ok fuck that polite nazi"

this is what life should be about. the other horse shit shouldn't be happening.

the last time this happened on a social network, jack dorsey wasted billions of dollars over a decade making things less successful than the website he founded because of how mad he was at the users on said website

kinda feel like when you start expressing open contempt for your user base you’re working against your stated goal of making social media better

look there’s a lot to side eye here but let me point to the 7 day work week + one of the founders claiming top 200 in NA LoL. which is it bro

This is some solid information

my toxic trait is thinking i can handle more of the buldak carbonara spice packet than is advisable, every time, despite knowing better

It also famously featured Mulder taking a dump, perhaps the first X-files reference in a game ever

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

This 2002 press release of 'celebrity testimonials' for the PS2 is an absolutely incredible time capsule.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this
