Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Too dangerous to live, too beautiful to die
Shocked and sad and amazed to see my first live spotted lanternfly in our own backyard (Chicago). Gorgeous animal—I wasn’t prepared for how beautiful it was. 🥲 Squashed and reported on @inaturalist.bsky.social

Honestly, I heard Thunderbolts was good and wanted to see it but when I found out it had been "retitled" to "The New Avengers" that made me want to see it less

Sega's Stranger Than Heaven looks cool. At first I thought it was a multigenerational story where you play as a half-Japanese man in 1943 and his father in 1915. But the eerie blue glow of his eyes makes me think it's a supernatural story about an immortal character throughout the 20th century.

My toxic trait is that I want the graphics, open-world and quality of life features of modern AAA games combined with the storytelling, world diversity and characters of 16 and 32-bit RPGs.

Action or turn-based doesn't matter to me as much as the ability to control multiple characters.

Gen Z is wringing their hands about the Zelda movie because they're afraid of what will happen if Link actually talks meanwhile Millennials will riot if he doesn't say "Well, excuuuuuuse me, Princess!"

I kinda don't want the Zelda movie to be an adaptation of an existing game. It should be it's own Zelda story, with the same standard as the games

Some Venezuelans in Miami who voted for Trump feel "betrayed" that Trump -- who specifically said on the campaign trail he would target Temporary Protected Status designations -- has ended TPS for their fellow Venezuelans.
'Beyond betrayal.' Venezuelans in Florida are angry at Trump immigration policy
Trump's decision to remove Temporary Protected Status means more than 500,000 Venezuelans may be forced to leave the U.S. Venezuelan Americans, many of whom voted for Trump, call it a betrayal.
