call this high hump the organ of firmness

My best experience with the server slam was dropping to tau ceti with some nice purple gear and immediately jumping out of bounds and dying. nothing can possibly hurt me now.

my drinkable cheeseburger was remanded to the custody of nucaloric :(

The worst part about being a flawless judge of character is that every time you decide to give someone the benefit of the doubt you absolutely get your shit wrecked.

the people who rule the world are irredeemably evil, but they are also impossibly stupid

Toss in a side of Stanislav Petrov and then add the note that the goal of military AI is to automate him out of existence

We here at Arachne invite you to experience the complete freedom of impermanence.

Crying eats up a lot of time, Matt, but I feel it’s important work.

I get it now: Marathon satisfies, at 20 minute intervals, my masculine urge to bleed out [here]

hey now nobody's saying you're in charge of anything

I'm so tired of the stupidest, greediest, most cowardly and mendacious sacks of shit being put in charge of things. Nothing has to be like this.

Bungie has absolutely set the expectation that other players are extremely dangerous. I think the culture of these games emerges organically and its not mature enough to know how those kinds of truces will form, but the tools to trust other players are given to you.

Marathon is unfortunately really fun. I've heard it framed as a pvp roguelite, and I think that lens is useful for approaching it. The gameplay loop is really well integrated into the game's themes and I like learning about this world. I guess I enjoy curating a little lootbox for other players.

staying up late tonight to read the bad posts so nobody else has to. eating the bad tweets -- the tweater, if you will.

Peaky Blinders no posting that you can go to jail over no fucking posting that you can go to jail over

I didn't make this, but it needs a reposting.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOI

My marathon hands-on time has taught me that I will muddle through a thin film of parkour to experience new menus.

Canadians travelling to the US advised to not fucking do that

i went to the garden of forking paths and only in a specific set of possible futures did anyone know you

“Wow it’s like I’m playing a movie that’s a game that’s a show that’s a game again!!! Wow it’s like I died in 2010?!? And I don’t even get the peace of death? Just mourning? The bardo is the familiar with its essence missing? Like a remake of some commercial shit that sucked already?”

I predict that the fire Pomeranian everyone loves will evolve into something that looks like it replies to every post Greta Thunberg makes from its truck.

Disintegration is the safest choice for most people but I really can’t recommend getting “the love cats” on a mixtape from the girl you have a crush on enough.

"The Corporations don't intrinsically have souls, but they've got rights. The only corpo that contained a soul was Costco - the only one born with a soul. The Chamber of Commerce was empty, you see. These things are just vessels. That's why I'm going to destroy them. Because I hate them."

The miniature for the Behemoth (sculptor Jaremy Aiello) from THE MIST is so fuckin gorgeous

transphobia is a gateway to so many abhorrent beliefs

if you aren't racist or antisemitic or classists or any other number of fucked up things, if you start becoming transphobic you'll become all of them

i've never met someone who is Just Transphobic
