Since "gamers" have basically been responsible for the last ten years of politics and culture wars bullshit, the least you can do right now is apply your pressure towards AI and take back the PC parts market so we're not paying out the nose for it. But I am sure you'll just say "skill issue".

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

🪖✈️ VERMONT AIR GUARD is deploying to Puerto Rico from Burlington right now, aboard the NFL Patriots team 767 (operated by Omni Air International) 👀

I finally played the demo for Star Trek Voyager Across the Unknown. It's rough around the edges now, but it's pretty fun and has some good potential.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an ordinary man, has defeated the great might of the US Government

Republicans and the ACA is like having mice in your pantry, but your husband refuses to buy traps or call an exterminator, won't let you do it, and then when a kid gets sick from eating food with mouse shit, blames you for what happened and threatens a divorce. He was looking for a blameless exit.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

No Man's Sky winning best ongoing game redeems my faith in video gaming not to give the award to baby shit fortinite.

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

I knew we've played this game before.

Ah, so we're doing the opening to MGS2 now I see. Are they going to find-- --METAL GEAR?

The single most politically impactful act of media conglomeration since 1968 isn't AOL-TimeWarner or AT&T Time Warner or Facebook-Instagram or PenguinRandomHouse, it's Clear Channel-Jacor.

I've always found the use of the word "based" by people as titles when they have not earned the rank of "based" by their peers to be stolen valor. You cannot be "Based California Mom" if you, in fact, are not based. I was told we live in a meritocracy now.

Whomever runs updateyodell.net is a lifesaver. I was able to update two old R420s with ISOs, but I could not find an ISO for an R430. I had one snag where I had to bump iDRAC 8 up to where it wouldn't fail SHA-1 signatures, but after that it was good. Now I can prep these three for homelabbing.

Man, every time I watch the #LowerDecks finale I want there to be more show to watch. Gives me the Boimler Pause Effect every time.

Upgrading Veeam from 11 to 14 over the years has finally caught up to me in the form of some weird SQL shit I don't feel like trying to solve. I already moved VM backups into my new PBS instance, so I think imma rip this all out and redo it. Like going from plaster to drywall. Kinda.

My new favorite way to watch Star Trek is by using the shuffle feature in Jellyfin. Only downside is I don't know how to include all the series. So today, it's #LowerDecks day. My son has been more interested in watching it, too. He used to only care about the OP.

I heard someone on a podcast this morning lament social media activism. Sure, but how is that different from social media THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS? Virtue signalling is still virtue signalling. If nobody asked, you don't need to answer.

The ballad of "verified accounts" and "checkmarks" and Twitter/X is really peak Animal Farm, when you think about it. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

I'm trying really hard not to roast my SIL's boyfriend for constantly reading AI responses to things people are saying off his phone. Bro, your AI ain't family here, and no one gives a fuck what it thinks.

Watching the National Dog Show is always a fun part of our Thanksgiving. Specifically, mocking how many different kinds of one name breed there are, and the names they give them. Or just pretending to be the dog. WHY YOU KEEP GRABBING NY JUNK? I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!

Instructions unclear, sent to all domain users, they thought it was the workroom copier. Again.

#DispatchGame needs another season for sure. It was short, but god it was good.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

I had a decent clip to say about #HazbinHotel 's season finale, but the crux of it was that given the still slightly uneven pacing, it could have either used one more episode to contextualize some things, or one less episode of Vox filler. More in le weeb blag. tldranimu.net/2025/11/19/m...

Vox's past isn't what I thought it would be, but I am actually not surprised in the least. #HazbinHotel

I for one welcome our Snidely Morningstar overlords.

Oh no, ChatGPT is down?

US Trump regime lackeys in civilian outfits illegally snuck into Mexico to install restricted area, department of defense, signs on Mexican territory. Locals caught them red handed and the USians fled by boat covering their faces.

Unitary executive in the streets, defer to Congress in the sheets.

Same musical energy. #HazbinHotel #SymphogearGX

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump is lying about her interactions with him — and posted their text exchanges today about the Epstein files. A sitting member of Congress just posted her messages with the president of the United States.

"I watch Getter Robo Armageddon for the plot!" The plot:

I really like Bernie Sanders’ elder statesman era. Unlike too many older politicians who cling to power and perpetuate an outdated political culture, Bernie is actively mentoring the next generation of progressive leaders before he retires. It’s how it should be. And it’s working.

Oh fuck, it just dawned on me, he is WHEATLEY from the final part of Portal 2 where he keeps telling Chell and GlaDOS all the books he's read and how extremely smart he is as the building is crumbling around them. Jaysus.

I finally bought and played Rock N' Roll Racing Definitive Edition on the Blizzard Arcade Collection, and woowee this is a fucking nicely polished remaster. I even enjoy the additiona Larry lines. But I still think Blizzard could stand to do a full remake. Or at minimum, a track editor.

My Facebook feed is just about 57% #HazbinHotel posts because, as one knows, you read one, and the fucking algorthm is like BUT HERE IS ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND DID YOU READ THIS BATSHIT INSANE TUMBLR RANT ABOUT SO AND SO AND WHATSHERFACE AND THE UGLY ONE LOOK WHAT THE CREATOR SAID ABOUT-- -_____-

Trump literally says "shhhhhhhh" after Laura Ingraham notes that the cost of beef, coffee, and auto repairs have gone up.

This is my shocked face.

I interpret the 125% increase in National Review posts on Bluesky as the right getting their hollow victory over the shutdown. Most of those posts have Schumer Derangement Syndrome.

#SuperRobotWarsY is finally finished. A good final battle, though perhaps not as difficult as some of the ones before it. But I am sure the other route is much more difficult. All of the videos will be posted to Youtube before the end of the week. And now I rest.

I think everyone around him knows he is in decline and doesn't care. They're just keeping everything running and warm for him, tending to his every want, redirecting him when he blurts out some random memory from 1982, and keeping him on task. For the cause, for the empire.

#SuperRobotWarsY Final Chapter First five missions will be up on YouTube soon, finished six and seven earlier, only eight and nine remain. I aim to finish it tomorrow and then have all the videos up by midweek. And then I am taking a break from SRW games for awhile and doing something else.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

An allegory I often use to describe the American "shutdown" to non-Americans, or even other Americans, is imagine if the ice cream machine at McDonald's stopped working, and because of that, the entire restaurant shuts down.

I'm enjoying all the people in my town threatening to move to Tennessee or South Carolina. Good. Go. Not only will that open up the housing market which has been tight the last 4 years, but who the fuck gives a shit about you like that. To think a new First Selectman in 12 years scares you is lulz.
