You know, this whole #Frieren looking up fanart saga is just peak mid 2000s internet vibes, and I'm loving it.

Reminds me what the internet *could* be if it wasn't for the complete coorporate enshitification.

Currently visiting a major christmas market in the low countries, and the sheer fucking amount of genAI slop in every. godsdamned. store. Even saw a 'painting' being sold for over 100€

How the fuck did we get to this point?

Capitalism hohoho, fuckers.

Germ just brought it to my attention that Ubisoft is using AI generated imagery for the art in Anno 117: Pax Romana.

This us utter shit Ubisoft. WTF did I just pay 90 bucks for if you can't hire actual artists??

Of course #Ubisoft has the fucking gall to silently add a generic "AI generated content disclosure" to the #Anno117 steam page merely two days before its launch.

I just met Dionysus for the first time in #HadesII

My eyes were not prepared for that illustration.

It's wild how much my enjoyment of #Silksong fluctuates.

The Mist was genuinely one of the most miserable gaming experiences I've had in ages, yet Mount Fay is basically the second coming of Celeste.

whenever I feel adrift I think "more bookshelves in the house would fix me" and this is probably not addressing the root cause of what's going on but is also probably True

Man.

Back when I read the City manga I was already pretty meh about it all, but I'd hoped KyoAni could elevate it.

And sure, the production values are unreal.

But good lord, the entire show is just so aggressively unfunny.

Which is weird, since Nichijo regularly had me gasping for air.

After a lot of internal conflict, the intrusive thoughts won and I grabbed Victoria 3 since I like numbers getting bigger and I've been wanting to get into a meatier Grand Strategy game for a while now.

I figured my hundreds of hours in Stellaris and Anno would've prepared me for this.

It has not.

Played an hour or two of #ArtisImpact

Not sure if it'll end up being a good *game* - I basically already have infinite HP and mana - but good lord if it isn't the most charming thing I've laid my eyes on in a hot minute.

Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through.

There are no premature endings. There are no wrong answers. There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings.

This is a love story.

Slay the Princess is 30% off. Get it now for less than 13 bucks.

Quick! What year is it!?
I haven't seen this scene referenced in like a decade. The ancient texts live on!

As an aside, I genuinely thought the premise of the show wouldn't last for more than a single episode, but it somehow works? It helps it fully embraces the absurdity.

Much like Void Stranger I mentioned a few days ago, 1000xResist is a genuine gem that I highly recommend you give a shot.
Yes, it can be a bit rough around the edges presentation wise, but it tells an incredibly strong story that I don't think would work in any other medium.

Doom and gloom aside, finally wrapped up the #Krastorio2 mod for #Factorio today.
Had a good time, but I think Space Age really spoiled me.

Sure, Krastorio adds dozens of new toys, but I used maybe three of them. What good is two new tiers of Power Armor when the regular Mk2 is already overkill?

With seemingly all major digital game stores getting Exterminatus'd, I wonder how long it'll take before they go after anything even remotely anime/manga related because you know they will.

Guess I should put in a new order while I still can :/

I can't recall if I've mentioned Void Stranger before yet, but go play it. It's stupidly good. By the end of my playthrough I had a dozen pages of notes scattered all across my desk trying to make sense of stuff.

It's honestly up there with the likes of Outer Wilds and Blue Prince.

Yap. #Panty&Stocking is still completely unhinged.

Wasn't expecting to get emotional or anything of the like, but when Fly Away started playing, they got me, damnit.

That said, Amazon, leaving 'bitch' as 'bitch' instead of 'slut'? Really? In the year of our lord 2025?

Cloverworks really went all out on Bisque Doll season 2. Hope they don't burn out again...
