As someone that spent 6 weeks fighting Epstein-Barr with a constant fever of 101.9 - 103, I can say this is pretty horrible.
The doctors were worried i was dying.
It was not a fun time.
Vaccines are fucking important and god damn it's terrifying this is the way things are going

Epstein-Barr, herpes, and shingles vaccines shelved should get people hounded out of society. That’s beyond anti-vaccine or anti-intellectualism. It’s reactionary know-nothingism. If there’s such a thing as technological solutionism, this is tech problematicizing.

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

I have just learned this evening that the voice actor for the Piccolo in the DBZ Ocean dub also handled dubbing Duo Maxwell in Gundam Wing...
And all of that is dwarfed by the fact that he was also the voice of a Grumpy Bear.
Absolutely flummoxed that Grumpy is the God of Death that stepped up

I'm always so stoked to sit in an office for all the collaborative work.
Today I got to overhear what i swear was the outdoor only voice man tell "I love the smell of a fresh cup of ass".
Such collaborate. Totally worth the traffic to have to use noise cancelling headphones

Watching Smack Down and Mac sat watching the Trick x Cardona fight intently.
He made this face everytime Cardona was giving the business and wide eyed everytime Trick was.
Suffice to say, even the cat is impressed by Trick.
Zero interest in watching Priest x Solo though lol

Unpopular opinion but Expedition 33 is one of the most boring games I've played in a very long time.
Everything about it is great except the combat is just the most uninteresting and boring thing because there is such a emphasis on dodge/parry or bust... Unless you want to minmax combo. Also boring

Update:
They, personally, didn't aggro Santa Paws and instead opted to, rightfully, trash talk the monster that is capitalism, introduce a well meaning mouse with a single mother of 1, and cause another to have an existential crisis
10/10 would watch my group subvert expectations again

Ok - So, I shockingly, wrangled the ADHD enough to let me focus and I have an idea for the general layout.
My partner is going to handle the new logotype. I might keep the current logomark and still include it with the new cover but...
Anyone got illustrator recs? I'm pretty open to dif styles

I really want to redo the @theredtunicpodcast.com cover to be more videogame -y but I just can't figure it out.
None of my thumbnails feel right which means I gotta start looking at more wild stuff for inspiration.

My awesome partner got me Animal Well for Christmas and I powered through it over the last few days.
Really liked the aesthetic and at under 10hrs to beat it, great weekender game.
Still wish there was some semblance of more direction but I feel it didn't leave me as lost as some which is a plus

Call me crazy but I think if you use things like ChatGPT enough to get one of their year end review things but still think you get to exist in the space to criticize AI...
You need to just stop. You're not part of the issue, you are the issue.

Gianni is based as shit (this is what the young people say today right?) and he shares another thread and a bunch of games in the replies.
Y'all should check it all out 'cause he is spot fucking on with the importance of championing devs and games that aren't killing our planet/doing harm

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."
