Started off the year in the post game of fantasy life. It’s secretly a s RuneScape-like hidden behind a cutesy anime art style and it’s very much my shit.

can I suggest 2Woke2Furious
minor point of order since it keeps coming up, it's "Woke 2" and not "Woke 2.0". we're leaving tech industry bullshit behind too

That’s what happened when you condition your customers to only view the industry through the lens of “console wars”
It’s annoying to post a list of fun games for a system and have someone comment there’s no “system sellers” in the list. So what? System sellers are great but there is fun to be had in games that may score in the average range, or sometimes even worse, as well.

to be fair it makes perfect sense for tabibi to not want to ask too many questions about whether russian assets are involved in sex trafficking
Let's check in on the Twitter Files guy -- who insisted that the behind the scenes decision-making on content moderation was the most important issue of our time -- and see what he thinks about the publication of communications involving the most notorious sex predator of our generation.

This worse than shedures pro-bowl but yall love honkeys
Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has been named the 2025 NFL Rookie of the Year.

“The US is terrible but their close allies who’ve enabled their behavior for the last Century are cool actually” do yall hear yourselves

The “schooling us” in question is finally investigating shit they’ve coudlve investigated decades ago?????
February 5, 2026 at 4:19 PM
Why are they just now doing this though? Other countries don’t get to call the US terrible while doing the same exact shit
And a bit more good news…fingers crossed!

I don’t have Agency as a human because the United States exist it’s weird you think Jews ish people need a state to be human??????
February 4, 2026 at 6:01 PM
But again youre own logic defeats your point. If Jews need isreal to have agency and Isreal needs allies to exist then Jews still have no agency. At any moment those allies could turn against them so how does Israel make Jewish people safer globally?
February 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM
Isreal depends on other states right now. By you’re own standards it’s existence isn’t doing anything to protect Jewish people

At media day, someone asked JSN what his job would be if he wasn’t in the NFL and he said “President of the United States”

Good morning!

February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

Idc that I haven’t seen good football from him in years. I still believe
One note before the Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday: Jets QB Justin Fields was asked to participate, I’m told. He declined, focusing on his offseason training.

Chattle slavery
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?
Mine: religious nuttery & primogeniture
February 3, 2026 at 12:26 PM
Just curious what games fall into this category for you?
January 31, 2026 at 5:45 PM
So you’re playing multiple big budget games a year that are wholly unoriginal while also taking 0 reference from games that came before them?
January 31, 2026 at 5:45 PM
Me if I only played like 3 games a year:
Yes because modern games have tons of references they can study to make a truly bright game. Instead they’re bogged by big dev budgets, high expected returns, and HALF the originality the old games had with ZERO references
People to old games - "This game was amazing which is why it was popular and you are just a hater if you don't think it is the best game ever that changed the entire industry!!"

People to modern games - "Such a stupid game. It does nothing new. Why do so many people like it? Just all bad games."

Me if I didn’t know what arcades were:
You could at least expect that the main gameplay function of an older game wasn't "insert your credit card"
