Since there are a lot of new people on here, I should re-introduce myself:

My name is Rae, I’m an asexual demi-panromantic demi-woman and if that bothers you, please block now. Not being antagonistic, just not here for bullshit

I collect molds (retro video games), spores (vinyl) and fungus (manga)

i really need 2026 to be the year where everyone finds work because i would like everyone to be able to afford rent and groceries but also it's become terminally exhausting to watch dead air and time be filled with discourse telephone

Well, if there's one thing Microsoft has experience with, it's burning a household name to the ground, just like they did with Skype in 2020.
Microsoft is so fucking stupid.

Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App

I'm not joking

It was deliberate intentional and from the top down. That's how you do it.
The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

So a few months ago, I got a roomba on sale because it was too tough to vacuum every room of the apartment with my long covid and I have to dust at least once a week due to dust allergies.

It’s been great, except it will randomly do things that remind me of a cat

My Neighbor Totoro.

Everyone thinks it’s about fluffy magical creatures, but it’s really about a family navigating illness and grief and it has stuck with me ever since I first saw it when I was 13 and my family found out a family friend was diagnosed with cancer
In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

This is just them doing the "Xbox Live Gold is now Gamepass" strat again so they can claim a "huge surge" in Copilot users.

Here are the numbers for two of his offices. So I’m going to keep calling and explain to him what his job is.
His DC office: 202-224-6542
His Buffalo office: 716-846-4111

I was able to leave a message with his DC office today but in the past when I couldn’t get through DC, I’ve been able to leave messages in the Buffalo office.

I don't know man I think the fact that a massive social media platform has a built in tool to take a picture of a child and put them in a bikini should be a society altering scandal especially in a society that has been repeatedly curtailing our civil liberties under the banner of "protecting kids"

I think it would do everyone on here todsy a lot of good to understand there's a wide distance between "this thing makes me uncomfortable" and "I think people doing or enjoying this should be punished by the state"

So, fun fact. Tenchi Muyo! was the first title to be released in North America in a dual-audio format. The LaserDisc, which shipped in December 1993, included both the JP and English audio tracks, as well as English subtitles. It was priced at $31.46 USD.

I wish more people understood this site better.

Like, for example, words or phrases you use can show up on feeds that track that phrase or word.

So if you decide to post a lazy thought about some video game flame war, you are going to end up on feeds related to that game
