The "we got lindsey back on the slopes!" ads are also a lot, considering

a clip of actress elle fanning pronouncing the name of beloved dragonball character vegeta as "ve-ghee-ta" (from the audiobook for "margo's got money troubles")

liberal walking into the car dealership: i want the second shittiest car you have. i will buy it for literally any price

Has no one reconsidered airing all these quad god ads in light of... y'know

A mockup of a Jeopardy board question that reads "Konami's depiction of Count Dracula iconically called this type of person "a miserable little pile of secrets"

People saying "but if we defined 'middle class' that way there would basically BE no middle class in America!!"

Me:

Roughly 2 USAIDs

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

Artistic rendering of the death of Captain James Cook at the hands of indigenous Hawaiians on a beach as British soldiers fired back.

Remember, Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romance. It also commemorates the day indigenous Hawaiians murdered the shit out of Captain James Cook as he attempted to kidnap Chief Kalani’opu’u so he could hold him for ransom. A fitting death for a colonizer.

Turns out firebombing a walmart IS effective but the only people with the balls to do it are the winemoms you've been shitting on for the past ten years

I appreciate theses bits. ESPECIALLY ACTUAL SALARIED ANIMATORS.

Oh nooo that thing literally everyone warned me could happen has happened, how could I have ever anticipated such a turn of events

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Befuddled bearded white man amid his empire of dirt, covered in much snow

So oomf gave me their empire of dirt then let me down and made me hurt. Wtf

four colored sketches on pink backgrounds: a male firefly captioned "you light up my life", a naked mole rat captioned "you smell like home to me", a mating pair of anglerfish captioned "I'll always be a part of you", and a tragopan captioned "you inflate my weird dangly thing"

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

The first time I saw it, the statue at the death site had a bullseye on the back and sign that said "INSERT SPEAR HERE".

A plump and cheerful snow T. rex sitting in a garden. It has little twig arms and pebble eyes.

It snowed enough to sculpt a fat little tyrannosaurus today!

Hello, people of bluesky, if you are just joining us—here is an old comic I made about Dracula

SB 6045, a bill to allow farmworker collective bargaining in WA state, will soon be voted on. This bill is critical for WA farmworkers like Windmill mushroom workers who've been fighting to get a contract since 2022.

If you live in WA tell your state Senator to support SB 6045.

ceaserslegion: Blaming Todd Howard for absolutely everything that goes wrong in Bethesda games has become such a habitual behaviour for me that I feel like it's gonna bleed into my real life interactions. Watch me walk over to receive my degree, trip on the carpet, and just lay there in my graduation cap and gown saying "Why would you do this, Todd? aw-dag: Todd Howard is an alum from my college and he comes to give guest talks sometimes, neither of which I knew my freshman year when I dropped my bag on the way to class, joked "I see we left clipping on, Todd Howard" to my friends, and was met by a very exasperated sigh from behind me and Actual Todd Howard says "Is this what we're doing now?"
