The trash right click menu, the copilot garbage, the weird new version of Paint...

I have a Windows 11 laptop, and I hate Windows 11. Please do not force me to upgrade my Windows 10 PC

Watching Ta-Nahisi Coates podcast appearances is so refreshing. He is the only liberal pundit to actually move left in the last 2 years, and now spends his interviews staring incredulously as his liberal pundit friends move *right* in response to Trump and Israel

Pretty sure harassing mods into banning someone happens all the time on every platform, actually

Oooooh that's so cool! I love when game worlds self perpetuate

Duuuuude this movie fuckin' rules. Had my Terrence Malick phase when I was 19, and Badlands felt like the perfect blend between his 'airy' meandering and, like, an actually tight script

Things Silksong succeeds at that people don't talk about:

1. Keys are rare and exciting

2. Gibberish voices with more personality/nuance than any other game

3. money is a resource that actually matters

4. Multiple diagetic fast travel systems

5. Hornet has a full Smash Bros. moveset ready to go

Think about what simple verbs could be programmed to simulate an intricate and complex human activity/behavior

It is a really fun game for the first couple chapters though ๐Ÿ˜”

Literally the first time I've ever watched a full Kimmel monologue, so congrats on that, FCC

After the enlightened centrist boring parts, the Kimmel returns monologue is honestly pretty funny. Robert DeNiro still got it

Wait but where do I listen to you talk about that. I wanna hear that take!

So what exactly is this game? It keeps looking super cool, but I can't tell what's going on

It's the Equinox! Time to set an intention for that ennui

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn, so like 30ms at internal 1440p? That's so awesome dude, great work!

Woahhhhhhh, i was about to ask "how long does it take each frame to render?" but *real-time*???? You've got this down to under 50ms??

For the love of god, stop calling Hades 2 an indie game. I promise you that game has a budget in the 10s of millions

I've got a quibble here or there, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is a genuinely remarkable achievement

Reminder from the Dark Souls subreddit that bullying people into not posting AI garbage still works:

We donโ€™t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesnโ€™t sound good.
Itโ€™s antithetical to our core values.
You didnโ€™t even make it.
Knock it off.

The motorcycle made me lose a lot of my hype for Metroid Prime 4. It just looks really boring and kinda rudimentary.

Can someone please convince me to be excited about this again? I was excited for like all 7 years ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Conversations like the one happening around algorithms allowing *the Charlie Kirk video* from a couple days ago scare me.

Well-meaning people want this stuff banned from social media, but I don't think they understand how quickly that also means anything and everything related to Gaza gets banned

So far, Silksong > Hollow Knight

I'm really impressed with how tight and satisfying the new movement + platforming mechanics are
