yeah I wouldn't know anything about this preshow haha it wasn't my idea haha

Sometimes living in the future is really cool. Other times, I catch myself saying shit that would have baffled Teenage Olivia like 'hang on, I gotta charge my watch'.

It's unfortunate that despite them specifically calling out the Confidence Gap and Imposter Syndrome (both things I deal with), I'm still woefully underqualified myself, but I'm excited to get to work with whoever ends up getting the gig.

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you’ve seen live: Napalm Death Descendents The Aquabats! MewithoutYou Jeff Rosenstock AJJ Masked Intruder Between the Buried and Me Boyz II Men* Big Bad Voodoo Daddy* *I saw so many bands free when I worked at Epcot, but these 2 are my favorites by far.

My favorite thing about paying for insurance is how the root canal I just found out I need, all in including the crown, is gonna run me $1600 AFTER insurance. Greatest country on the planet, right?

HRT is a hell of a thing

"who the hell is 'Pri' and why am I powering up with them?" - people who don't know what's up

I have watched Gummo multiple times at this point after my ex showed it to my household, mostly to try to make sense of what the fuck I just watched. Still unsure what Harmony Korine was cooking there but it is a fascinating film if you have the stomach for it.

Joking aside, and to be clear, this is my own personal opinion; not an stance of any org I run/rep: Imagine torching all the goodwill and credibility you had by going to bat for people who got banned from video game charity events; and ignoring that all but 1 of your complaints has been addressed.

Because this is the internet and discourse has entered my hobby space, I am now Legally Obligated to provide an opinion nobody asked for!

I'm not naming any names, but it's not even noon and some of y'all are making me pour my first drink of the day.

good morning to everyone except you. yes, YOU. you know what you did.

This is why, for now, I encourage people to sub. Every platform sucks, so if you want to give me money to support my stream, at least do it on Twitch where 1) you might have Amazon Prime free subs, and 2) you can dodge the ads the way Donald Trump dodged the draft.

I still think my favorite genre of gamer is "wants a gritty, more adult, difficult Pokémon game but refuses to play anything Shin Megami Tensei."

Sorry but if you want to have political influence you need to get out of your left-wing bubble on Bluesky and start converting eight year olds to Marxism on Roblox

FELIZ ANIVERSÁRIO VAGINA BONES

Listening to Bomb The Music Industry and lamenting once again that I didn't listen to my heart and call into work to see their farewell tour I had tickets for and was I able to get the PTO for.

I don't know whether to be horrified that this exists without people consenting to training AI models, or offended that my content wasn't scraped too. Fuck everything about this.

Not pictured: Final Fantasy XIV aka Free Space.

People need to stop saying "Game X sucks" just because they don't like it. It is possible for a game to be a well crafted, technically proficient, critically praised and universally beloved experience that just doesn't click with you. That doesn't mean it sucks - it means it isn't a game for you.

I think the worst part about Unraid is the astronomical cost of storage in The Year of Our Lord 2026. This is such a cool piece of software

Now that I have doubled my theoretical winnings testing slot machines at work, I think it's safe to put "Gambling 皆伝" in my bio. If only it wasn't the house's money... 😭

The neatest part about my department is getting to teach these cis het male allies about goofy things that they'd have no reason to know about otherwise, like the Egg Prime Directive and programming socks.

i recommend mlb to anyone who’s a baseball fan. if you happen to be familiar with names like jair jurrjens or kevin seitzer, guess which league they played in? mlb. they have a league website and they’ve got brick and mortar stadiums all over the country you can see in person. it’s a legit operation

some of my fondest memories from childhood were hanging out with my granpa while he ripped on his harmonica. fond enough memories I just bought one for myself. guess I better learn how to actually play the thing instead of just making noises with it

I wish Discord had a layout option for Portrait Mode, because having the member/channel list take up ~1/5th of the vertical real estate of a 1440p screen is kind of ridiculous. I know that's a big ask when they're too busy enshittifying the thing, but idk.

If you are a game developer and you do not put silly cheat codes and easter eggs in your game, you are a coward. I miss Big Head Mode.

making friends as an adult really isn't all that different than making friends as a kid. I say this because my childhood best friend (who I am still close with) liked each other's Star Wars Valentines in kindergarten, and my new Marathon buddy liked me calling a minor design quirk homophobic

All-time Philly sports moment, right here

Curating a block list for genAI slop is the lord's work. I guess their main purpose is also cool if you're a fujoshi (I am)

Nah. I was pretty convinced I'd be living in California working in the tech industry. At the very least, I thought if I wound up in the northeast (where I am now) it'd be NYC or Boston, not Philly where I roughly am now.

My Microsoft Authenticator thingy just now was 67 and I am not happy about it.

Life Pro Tip: if you work at a place that makes a lot of food and gives the leftovers to a specific team after the food folks have gotten a crack at them, be friendly with them. Know their names. Exchange pleasantries. Because when there's A LOT of leftovers, you're gonna get the hookup.

Friendly reminder that it is basically Stolen Valor to talk shit about Florida and New Jersey in front of people who have actually lived there unless you too once lived there. Which is to say, you can, but you'll look like a dunce for doing it.

I don't appreciate being called out like this (please don't go in my office).

My boss told me today that we couldn't get Kong off today and I was ready to challenge him that I could, in fact, sexually pleasure the legendary gorilla kaiju before realizing he meant removing the Kong game from the casino floor.

Actual work conversation on the radio: "Hey, [my job title], we need you on the floor." Me: "Sure, where are you?" Them: "Copy." Good talk. Time to hunt the whole fucking casino I guess.

posting anything on this site when leftists are around

when the guys wife dies in UP

It is absolutely goofy that if you fastforward an emulator AFTER you get the achievement, RetroAchievements retroactively turns it into a softcore achievement. My siblings in Christ, I am speedrunning Contra, I don't want to watch the full credit roll to save my playtime EVERY TIME I finish a run.

Reminder that this is your final weekend to submit your games and volunteer forms for Power Up With Pride 2026! Submissions close on March 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET! Game submissions: oengus.io/marathon/puw... Volunteer submissions: forms.gle/vXr1DAeyH1Zg...

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride (only won $2 on my lottery ticket).

I just looked at my grail SSD's price over the last 90 days and got physically nauseous. When?

I just tried Vyvanse for the first time after being unmedicated for my ADHD for my entire life and I feel like Neo at the end of the Matrix when he TPKs all the Agents. Is this what being a functional adult is like??? I kinda dig it.

college basketball is nonsense that must be done away with entirely. all these students should be busying themselves with schoolwork instead of wasting away the day with endless games of "hoops"
