if you see this, repost with a game that was released the year you were born.

Every time I watch "Even More News" I keep wanting to change my icons/avatars to match whatever horrific pose Cody left his Warmbo puppet in.

So yesterday the Payday devs announced that Payday 2 (they are now on Payday 3, btw), is going to have a *subscription option*, and it's going, er, not great:
Announcement on Steam that Payday 2 will have an optional subscription service. At the bottom of the announcement is the "Rate Up/Down" option and the discussion board link. There are exactly zero "Rate Up" points, and over 3,000 comments in the discussion; that's a really bad sign. The "Everyone disliked that." image meme from Fallout 4.

God I laughed so hard when Loading Ready Run brought back their Magic: the Gathering comedy show, "Friday Nights," and did an entire episode in the style of "Police Squad!"; intro and all.

The game references many real-world books when a customer asks for a recommendation, and @arkada.bsky.social will be pleased to know one of them is the manga for "Monster."

This new list of notification options is absurd.
On the upside, nobody really notices my posts/reposts so I remain immune. Hooray! 🙃

Congrats, @arkada.bsky.social !

Now you can look forward to: reclaiming the throne, opening the castle crypt, finding the 2nd estate, unlocking the full sanctum, breaking the family curse, and eating a fruit salad (I may have made 1 or more of those goals up).

I'm a goddamn psychic.
#Deltarune
Screenshots taken from my friends' Discord #Vidya-games channel, where I posted: At 10:23am: "11:00 am Eastern: Deltarune goes available for sale on Steam. 11:01 am Eastern: Steam overloads, crashes; Gabe Newell buys another, bigger yacht." This is followed by a second post by me at 11:02am: "...I hope someone picked up that phone, because I FUCKING CALLED IT!" Attached are two screenshots of errors in the payment section after I attempted to buy the Deltarune+Soundtrack bundle, one saying: "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." A 2nd screenshot just shows the "Something Went Wrong" E502 L3 error screen.

You know it's summer in Detroit when they turn on the fountains outside the DIA.

Yeah that checks out.

If @michigandems.bsky.social were smart they'd be blasting this 24/7.
Because if there's one thing Michiganders love it's being more like Ohio. 🙄
A news excerpt quoting Ronna McDaniel: "McDaniel told the Wall Street Journal that the DeVos' initial commitment would be millions of dollars, and that the initiative aims to make Michigan 'reliably red.' 'We need to become a state like Ohio," she told the newspaper, referring to Michigan's southern neighbor that has shifted from a political battleground to an increasingly reliable Republican state."

Fixed some typos for you.
The same list of games but with "& Knuckles" added to each title.

A fantastic article, if only for referencing "Bloom County" and the repeated use of the phrase "rat-fucking."
Excerpt from the article linked, referring to the past crimes of Republicans in the Executive Branch: "That any of these people were in power at all owed a little something to Ronald Reagan’s people’s rat-fucking Jimmy Carter and the American hostages in Iran in 1980. They got the idea from the way Nixon and his personal emissary, Anna Chennault, rat-fucked Hubert Humphrey’s 1968 Vietnam peace talks, and in turn the two of them inspired Trump to ship his coconspirators to Moscow to rat-fuck the 2016 election and to Kyiv to try to rat-fuck 2020. In between, we had George W. Bush pursuing an American variation on the theme, and stealing the 2000 election using just his brother and the Supreme Court, a slow-moving rat-fuck that played out over a month of TV, complete with fake riots and criminals in robes."
