Always funny when someone replies to me and then immediately blocks me

I can't read whatever pithy comment you made if you block me, dummy

That's why I use the mute in those situations

Also finished 48 games (not counting replays). Which is probably a lot of the reason I only finished 12 books.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Altered Beast [1988]
Disney’s Aladdin [Master System]
Alien Syndrome
The Lucky Dime Caper Starring Donald Duck

List if anyone's interested:

John Howard Griffin - Black Like Me

it's dope how we all know someone is going to kill at least a daycare worker and probably some kids soon but we have to just sit back and wait for it to happen because the venal sclerotic dipshits who are ostensibly the good, reasonable, compassionate ones just don't actually care, at all

The year is 2096. Most of the Earth's coastal cities are underwater. The average global temperature is 77°F. A news item appears in your cybernetic eye-feed:

"And Atlus announced that in honor of Persona's 100th anniversary, they are about to release a new game: Persona 5 Baseball!"
Fitness Boxing Persona 5 announcement teased www.gematsu.com/2025/12/fitn...

"???: What are you getting ready for?

???: Heh heh heh… This time, I’m preparing a training plan that’s a bit different from usual. After all, stamina is essential for a Phantom Thief!"

An official account of the United States government is dreamposting about deporting 80+ million citizens
December 31, 2025 at 11:16 PM
So this is stupid for a lot of reasons, but the one that strikes me the most is this: If everybody iives in one of 80 cities, who's growing and harvesting crops? Who's raising and slaughtering chickens and cows and pigs? That alone makes the whole thing ridiculous, let alone the poison vaccine shit

Because of a conspiracy theory-based stunt by a January 6 insurrectionist who was trying to intimidate children and daycare workers, Trump is now freezing ALL childcare payments across the country.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

Professors and teachers: Consider assigning your students some of the many AI-related suicide/murder court documents. I'm going to in my creative writing courses. This could be relevant material in any classroom in which you think AI is a factor. Which is to say, all of them.
Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself.

Started reading the fifth Discworld novel, Wyrd Sisters

On the left is how the book appears in my Kobo library

On the right is the actual cover page of the book, which looks like it was made in MS Paint in like ten minutes

It's not even a big deal but I'm just like... why?

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

At one point, the two men in this video don’t identify themselves to daycare workers, demand to know where the children are, and then try to yank open the door as the female employees pull on it to keep them out.

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it.

Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

thanks to AI you can now become the malignant illusion spinning demiurge whom Descartes had to axiomatically banish in order to make Rationality possible
The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

A commercial for Miracle on 34th Street just showed up on the video I was watching and I swear because of the way the guy said it I though he said, "Do you believe in Xanatos?"

I mean he DOES have a red suit

But he's not in the habit of giving gifts (at least not without strings attached)
