Good News and Bad News

Bad News: 'Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs' is just too unstable for me to run without it crashing at least once, probably twice. Therefore, leaderboard runs are out

Good News: The crashes are easily recoverable, and won't spoil my fun in running it for myself at all!

Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that.

Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate.

If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.
Lot of bigots showing up. Remember, don't interact. Just report and block block block.

Harry Mason (SH1) = Best Dad in Fiction. Period.

- Braved terrors to save his daughter
- Adopted a traumatized magical girl
- Uprooted his entire life to keep her safe

More proof?

How many teen girls do you know were stoked to get home from school just to spend time with their Dad?

Fuck Aronofsky

Can't believe Natalie Portman directed 'The Black Swan' all by herself. She's so incredible!

A Quick Hack to ALL PC Gamers:

If you're having a hard time getting a videogame to run properly, and you've tried what you can find on Google, find the speedrunning community, and say: "Hey, I'm trying to run this game, but it keeps crashing!"

Those nerds will get you what you need immediately!

The GOG situation is frustrating

GOG is the best online store for games. Period. It just is. To see them use an AI banner is extremely disappointing

Imagine your entire appreciation of an artform, destroyed entirely by one piece of art that you didn't like. Fragility. Weak-ass Constitution. Glad you found something you like more than gaming though I guess.

At this point, there are only 2 tricks that are really messing me up in Machine for Pigs. Once I get those at least somewhat consistent, it's over for these bitches (by 'these bitches' I mean the game, being mean to me)

folks who think 'exploits and breaking the game in a speedrun' is cheating are just the same folks who cry 'if you use summons/ashes/magic you didn't really plays -insert soulsborne game-' It's repackaged exclusionary shit, born out of jealousy and the belief that gatekeeping is cool
Speedrunning has actually been dead for like twenty years. Sorry yall. Wrap it up

It would appear that I will be hosting at Frost Fatales '26

so that's pretty cool!

goddamn speedruning 'A Machine For Pigs' is a whole experience

None of the other Amnesia game titles go as hard as amfp.

'The Dark Descent': 'Get a torch then'
'Rebirth': 'What, like.. getting baptized?'
'The Bunker': 'Cool. My Great Uncle has one of those'

But 'A Machine For Pigs' ?
That title goes hard. that's all I'm saying!

Some believe Section 230 will be safe from February’s internet bills week in the Senate, arguing petty differences will stall legislation or prior convictions will remain true. Paul here shows the opposite, it is a major problem that a libertarian-ish conservative fears S230 is too lenient
In this edition of ManBabies Making Laws, Senator Rand Paul appears to have suddenly abandoned his long held defense of the 1st amendment and Section 230 (perhaps his only redeeming quality?) because ...

he's mad about a YouTube video about him.
Rand Paul: I’ve changed my mind — Google and YouTube can’t be trusted to do the right thing and must be reined in

The Speedrun for 'Machine for Pigs' may not show much in the way of gory extreme horror content (just a bit)

But the main concern is that sometimes the loading screen chooses a particularly strange and explicit excerpt of the main character's horny poetry he wrote for his wife to be displayed

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I'm a big fan of speedrun tutorials that be like: "this is a really easy trick" and it takes me like 3 hours to do properly.

As someone who has made a few speedrun tutorials, I know why this happens. Because after 500 hours, you really do forget how hard it was for you when you started out.
