I think the sequels to the original Rayman actually detracted from the amazing creativity of the first.

Am I one of the lonely few who thinks the original #Rayman game is the best by far? Like, I don't even think the others are comparable.

Playing through #Silksong again and... I think it's actually easier than #HollowKnight.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

This is fantastic.

It is much bigger than one election in NYC.

And now, my favorite #Silksong bosses: 5. Lace; 4. TROBBIO! (normal and tormented) 3. Karmelita; 2. Lost Lace; 1. First Sinner. Honorable mentions: Widow, Phantom, GMS, Nyleth.

#Insomnia thoughts/ranking of my least favorite #Silksong bosses: 5. Palestag; 4. Savage Beastfly II; 3. Lost Garmond; 2. Sister Splinter; 1. Shakra. Some of those may be controversial, others are accepted objective fact. I actually didn't mind Groal.

Finished #Silksong, 100%. Loved it more than #HollowKnight. Very hard, but... not harder than Hollow Knight? I believe we may have collectively forgotten how hard Hollow Knight was when it first came out.

I had forgotten how addictive the initial exploration of #HollowKnight was. #Silksong, I think, exceeds the original in that regard.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Bad lessons #NineSols taught me for playing #Silksong: no contact damage. Oof.

Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral campaign shows how Left-led coalitions can expand the electorate and bring in centrists without adopting centrist politics.

This article is everything we need right now. Acts of resistance matter and they add up, no matter how small they feel.

On the Power of Small Acts of Noncompliance
At a moment when large-scale resistance can feel futile,
there are other ways to oppose, engage, and fight back.

In honor of the imminent #Silksong, I decided to finally beat the Radiance. Not nearly as difficult as I remember it being when I initially played #HollowKnight and said "Nah, I don't feel the need to beat her."

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

As a child, Sameth in #Lirael annoyed me because he kept failing. As an adult with anxiety, I keenly identify with him now.

Just finished Max Gladstone's #TwoSerpentsRise (as an audiobook) and, the whole time, I pictured Temoc as the dad from Cloud With a Chance of Meatballs.

Sentences that make sense in #DrLunatic but nowhere else: I found pants, which means there must be a hammer somewhere.
