It is Wednesday my dudes (and it looks like I need to make alternate dinner plans)

I find it very funny Hades 2 is launching on bissexual week

isn't it interesting how every autism trigger boogeyman is attributed to things a parent can choose to do, as opposed to systemic causes an individual can't control but can be controlled by regulations or supports like pollution, pesticide/herbicide use, food access, communicable disease, etc

If you say "I like puzzles" people immediately tell you to play The Witness. Unfortunately, instead of multiple different puzzles, the game wants you to solve this one puzzle like 500 times in a row.

If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares. www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some...

What an expertly called shot

in today's queue, Drop Dutchy has me by the throat. Plus, is it weird that I want a vacuuming sound in Spirit City? It seems kinda weird.

I'm excited by this but also a little worried, since the two things that really grabbed me other than the Weird Lil Guy gameplay loop is the feeling of loneliness and the theme of grief and grieving... and full on horror often doesn't play to that. But also, I love the gameplay loop anyway so lol

currently getting an electric bill for Anna Bellino in Italy and model contracts for Russian Anna Bell and Saks marketing emails to Ann Bell and this one woman emails me every 6 mos from (myemail)@apple.com to ask me if I'm using (myemail)@gmail.com. Should make her and saks lady fight for it tbh.

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ premiered on this day 30 years ago! (September 4, 1995) Created by John Schulian and Robert Tapert. Starring Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, Ted Raimi, Kevin Smith, and more. #OTD #OnThisDay #TVHistory #Xena

So I'm basically spending all my free time now deleting random files Microsoft decided to jam on my OneDrive, but that means I have a ton of screenshots to photodump on here

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

The Thrall plush that comes with a code that awards the in-game battle pet Gill'el is back in stock (while supplies last) in the Blizzard Gear Store

ngl I really wanted the bunny coin.

The rollout of the Midnight stuff was so flawed, I'm watching a video by @tande.tv about how flawed it was and they reference to a "multiple page" fact sheet. All that's available (to me) is a single sheet wp doc in the press kit, which doesn't contain the info they're discussing. lol. lmao.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

sorry, I can't, I'm uh working on my productivity toolset. yeah.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

"By far the biggest expense when making games is salaries." Whose salaries?

JD Vance has done it again.

Of all the many things I wrote for Pacific Drive this remains one of the most widely shared and may also be the sentence I'm most proud of. I hoped it would reach the right people at the right moments and, several times, someone has said it did. olympic-exclusion-zone.tumblr.com/post/7745252...

ah, yes, THERE'S the juice.

the full lawsuit is linked at the end of the story. support independent outlets if you like access to these sorts of documents -- it's not free! it cost $70 to access these documents and to break the story $ that's not a big deal to big pubs, but is for smaller ones www.scribd.com/document/900...

Happy Bookstore Romance Day! Treat yourself to a romance book (or five, no one’s judging here) and show your indie bookstores (especially ones that specialize in romance) some love! 💕🥰

Oh hey, it's another huge company filing for bankruptcy. Over-under, how many paragraphs until they mention some random private equity firm bought them out? I'm going with 5. Guess before you read it! It's a fun little game.

I need you to do me a favour. I have a show called Dungeons & Disableds, a TTRPG Show with disabled players playing disabled characters and telling great stories. If this appeals to you in the slightest, it would be so appreciated if you could subscribe to the show. dungeonsanddisableds.com

The Hearthstone team keeps doing this and I don't understand why. "Anna it probably makes more money to not show people all the cosmetics on the paid battle pass" Probably, that's their sole corpo motivation... but how on earth is "trust me bro" more appealing to buyers than just showing them??

I can't explain why but Tall Trails is the Mitch-est game I've ever played in my life.

big news: TALL TRAILS is OUT NOW !! 🥾 an exploration game where EVERYTHING goes in the boot!! 🤠 you're a little golem on a quest to find his purpose 🚀 use items as fuel in your ROCKET BOOT to blast yourself through the air!! get it now Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2393760/...

my favorite part of the facebook algorithm is the part where, when I join groups for my kids' school, it starts showing me back to school posts from like, the missoula mountaineers and the wichita witches and the nashville navigators, like I'm just interested in what schools are up to these days.

The real question is whether, if you're playing through a visual novel and it's voice acted, are you really reading a book or is it an audiobook and therefore doesn't count as actually reading?

nope.

looks like it's that time of year where I delude myself into thinking that plant based bacon isn't an abhorrent abomination, so I can have a BLT with my homegrown tomatoes and it won't suck. But maybe this brand will be different.

This is like that time Lady Gaga did a song and had Beyonce do a verse.

Other The Long Dark players: this game is the most brutal, realistic survival sim on the market. It is grim and gritty. me: look at the pretty sunrise! now imma make tea and sit by the fire. :) <3

📸 ANNOUNCING SHUTTER STORY 📸 In Shutter story you examine a family's photo album for signs of the paranormal. Use a detailed guide to sort and categorize the hauntings - the family's fate rests in your hands. Steam wishlist link below! ❤️

My favorite historical artifact to this end is Edgar Allan Poe's marriage license. It was so uncommon back then that the form is just printed with lines for signatures, saying that yes, we certify legally that the bride is at least 21 years old. They lied. She was 13. He was seventy fuckin seven.

tfw a video game tells you to go fuck yourself

Heads up to anyone considering using music on this site: I make no claims against any particular track or the tracks on this site, but every upload in the last 8 months from Kevin has been generated by Suno. (Everything after Outback Call): www.youtube.com/@incompetech... Check the descriptions.

This looks SICK but also I cannot follow this game bc in just watching the clip I feel my synapses being rewired for a gambling addiction, holy shit. It seems like a phenomenal concept if your brain chemistry can handle it tho lol

ITS FLAT FUCK FRIDAY ROLL THE CLIP
