Idk what the fuck we're all doing when there's a new Katamari game and we're not all just playing that instead. We are a broken people. We should be rolling up cows rn.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Staggeringly flawed as a game, but I'll always appreciate and dig what is was going for from a Flash & Noise perspective. There's not really anything else like it. Great trailer too.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.
These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.
Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Feels like quite a few of the Sony 3rd person cinematic action games have narratives that revolve around showing the bad guys are actually complex people with logical reasons behind their actions, tasks you with using terrible violence to oppose them, then condemns you for that violence.

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down
they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

"But Barleybap, The Ooze didn't sell."
Then how do you explain the fact that I own two copies? I only have one copy of huge hits like Breath of the Wild, GTAV, and Animal Crossing New Horizons, yet somehow I just happen to have two of The Ooze, a game that *supposedly* sold poorly? Get out of here.

Bubsy: Allowed to churn out terrible game after terrible game until they finally get it right and make something actually good.
The Ooze: An absolute banger game right out of the gate, doesn't get even a single sequel.
Where is the justice here? Unacceptable.

If I boot up a game for the first time and one of my brothers is watching, they WILL mock me for going to the options instead of just starting the game. I need to make sure subtitles are on! And what if the HDR settings are wonky!
my profile is for the girls who check the settings first whenever they get a new game

Eagerly awaiting my vinyl copy of Constant Companions Deluxe Edition hopefully arriving in November (fingers crossed!) It's still my personal album of the year. @jamies.page made a masterpiece and damn it, I want an oversized disc with grooves cut in it that screams, "I really like this album!"

I finally figured out the coaxial cable situation in the basement of my parents' house. Turns out we had the main internet line running through a 3-way splitter for literally no reason! Rerouted it, and now there's faster internet and more convenient router placement for ethernet access!

I wanted to use MoCa adapters to turn the coaxial ports in my parents' house into essentially ethernet ports for devices. But it turns out there are no coaxial ports in the house. Instead, the basement has a series of coaxial splitters, and the cables are then fed up and through floors and walls. 😵💫

Playing Pokémon on the Analogue Pocket while lying in bed has been a much needed blast of nostalgia. Of course, a completely authentic experience would require no backlit screen, a dim, constantly flickering worm light, and no rom hacks. But that's a bit too much nostalgia for my taste.

Gaming-Only journalists and analysts are pretty accurately calling this EA acquisition what it is: a doomed idea that will cause untold human misery and kill the company and probably bury all its IPs
Tech/Gaming Journalists keep trying to find a silver lining. Huh. Curious. Strange. Odd. Quirky.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers
I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.
Fuckin yikes, man

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is
- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)
- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)
- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

About a week ago, I randomly decided to play the original Breath of Fire through the Nintendo Classics SNES app on my Switch 2. Hard to believe I'm actually 20 hours into it now. I guess it's nice now and then to play a no-frills old school JRPG.

Used to be problematic to run the PS2 version in PCSX2, but that's all been smoothed out now.
