5 hours in, E33 is great. Sometimes there's like four or five different fonts on the screen at once. Still great

I'm frankly tired of having to tolerate open displays of cruelty for cruelty's sake - aided and abetted by our media - and I pray the pendulum continues to swing towards compassion for compassion's sake, and that we crush the institutions that led us here & chose this life for us

For a French game, E33 sure loves Dutch angles

asshole leaving a negative review for a game they love, acting as some sort of arbiter of truth rather than genuinely offering their position as to why they love it

Hey, don't do this. I can't stand motherfuckers that do this. You're doing such a disservice to a game and a developer by doing this. Knock it the fuck off!!

If you can't get this stuff right, you come off as uncaring at best (and stupid at worst), and I'm going to click away and remember you as a lazy creator!

I am begging youtubers to verify basic facts such as pronunciations, or (for example) which currency is represented by the pound sign (Β£). I promise you it is painless to do a quick search and re-record a line.

Another horrid iOS autocorrect hijacking: β€œwhich is” corrected to β€œwhip is”

People are casting doubt on this (reasonably) but half of retail spending is now done by the top 10% of earners so I find it plausible, and indeed worrying β€” I know nothing about anything, but I’m pretty sure concentrated wealth is a problem

They think lactose tolerance is more predominant in white Europeans, so it’s a dog whistle for racial supremacy and all that

I was typing β€œringing” and iOS autocorrect decided to entirely change my text, because obviously I wanted to type β€œto no” instead. I hold billions of dollars of ingenuity in my hand and I am not impressed.

How do you feel about nuking brand accounts from social media

When I’m in power in 2036 (at the latest), I’m deleting every brand’s social media account. They’re not people, they’re not social, leave us alone!

It’s safer to hide. I choose ambient suffering and loneliness over the possibility of getting hurt in the very humiliating and cruel fashion that I’ve been hurt. To those responsible, I hope your happiness is worth my pain. You know who you are.

I’ve internalized a lot of cruelty and abuse and I’ve learned to just leave everyone alone because I feel my basic wants are too much of an imposition

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

Dropped an airpod in the snow today and it dug a little hole for itself. I had to dig through the snow with my bare hands like the desperate man I am looking for a white headphone buried in the white snow. rest assured I did find it. then I dropped it again (and found it again)
