I think it is perfectly reasonable to say that Expedition 33 deserves all its flowers and that its potential sweep is perfectly cool and fine, just like BG3.

I also think it's true that the people who white knight for it are annoying, and they should play more of the games that inspired it.

this line from cloud is in my head at least once a day

but the one consistent thing I see is that people who either are miserable or make other people miserable tend to struggle with knowing themselves; some of them are addicted to misery, as my friend Phil put it--they want to moan about how life sucks and things are bad.

For years, Tony Yacenda's "American Vandal" has been my favorite Netflix show, but I never watched "Players," his eSports follow-up. Found out it was all on an official YouTube playlist. Blasted through it in 3 days. Phenomenal. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Ninja Gaiden 4 is the most PEAK Video Game to ever exist.

When you fight the cyber samurai boss and then the cringe-ass 2010s metalcore song kicks in, it's exactly what 13 year old me always wanted. It's like they've chemically infused everything I've ever wanted into a game.

Ugh. I hate myself. I hate life. Fuck this shit. Everything sucks. I hope I die. I hope somebody kills me.
[I take precisely one bite of food, after having been hungry and cranky all day]
Oh wow. Fantastic. I feel great. Now I have the energy to kill myself.

"this silksong boss is so hard" and a pic is posted and this is the boss i see

David Hogg is right fucking there and has been right there this whole time. Why don't yall listen to what he has to say instead of kicking him out of Dem party meetings yeah?

Parents, you are standing at a fork in the road right now.

If you buy your kids the Harry Potter video game, they'll grow up to be big maladjusted losers who only read bad YA fiction as adults, if you buy your kids Yakuza 0 they will grow up to own a cool jacket.

hey, nerds

I'm almost ready to post a NEW ARTICLE

are you READY? it's why AI is SHIT, plagiarism SUCKS, and executives hate copyright

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Is this all it takes to get people to clap like seals? Is this your gotcha?

Calling him names isn't enough. What's your defense strategy? How are you going to make it difficult for him to dismantle our entire democracy.

Calling him a "dick," is basic. This #resist nonsense is fucking worthless.

I decided it would be fun to take my chart that shows Romance of the Three Kingdoms book pacing vs real-life years, and overlay on top of it what parts are covered by Dynasty Warriors games.

I worked hard to make this legible. It is not legible. So I am giving up and just posting what I have lmao

Nice! But still too low. The fact that this event is even debated is silly.

Is it silly that I still swear by wired accessories?

I'll take a wired headset or pair of wired earbuds over Bluetooth every day. Same with controllers, keyboards, etc.

I hate batteries, I hate charging things. Let me stay tangled in my chords forever, please.

What I don't get about this mindset is... Why are you even writing? If you don't enjoy the meaningful struggle that goes into honing your skill as a writer, what is the point? There's so many other things you can do with your time.

Tonight you’ll be visited by three spirits

Wanna share a quote from this piece (which should be read by everyone with even a passing interest in fiction and how people interact with media) - "When comfort is the primary goal, then anything that provides discomfort becomes anathema to people."
