i think the (false) paradox of "the cozy game" is that it's far more memorable when there are elements of weirdness / unknowns / uncertainty in the world to it, like how early animal crossing neighbours were kinda mean sometimes and sims 1 is sorta creepy sometimes. the friction of consciousness

i am not joking when i say that this is probably my favourite quake 2 mod of all time. wonderful and silly and experimental in so many ways.

got around to playing Ray Frank's Having Company, a quake 2 mod that I am now convinced is one of the greatest surrealist masterpieces of our time. if you like weird shit and the aesthetics of amateur fan maps, you need to try this. I can't remember the last time a game made me laugh this much.

So let me get this todayโ€™s drama right:

* Jay followed noted transphobe Jonathan Chait
* Blacksky user Link pointed that out thatโ€™s fucked up after the past week
* Link was banned on Blueskys appview presumably by Jay
* But Link is also hidden from Blacksky b/c it still uses said appview

sorry to be that guy again but after cohost i'll always be angry at websites who insist on copying the Twitter UI/affordances and pretend it's the best that can be done because it really isn't

social media may not inherently suck but microblogging (with "inline" replies) specifically almost definitely inherently suck at this point. stupid char limits and having your comments exposed to any passerby is atrocious.

fascinating that "no, the computer is not alive" and "yes, it's questionable to gleefully say anti-computer phrases modeled after racial slurs" are two thoughts people are struggling to reconcile
