Imposter syndrome through the fucking roof 😄 Surely they've mixed me up with someone else?

Guess who won union activist of the year for his sector?

Inexplicably, it was me 😳

Where are these DMs then?

Inviting the people who screamed about a "rules based international order" to cry more because everything we said about what that really meant is being proven over and over again.

Ok, I'm done. As you were, citizens.

Making your game Souls-like does not just mean cranking up the "fuck you, git gud" factor when there's no room to learn. Dark Souls is harsh but usually fair and you can actually learn cues and patterns. Not with this shite.

Also, no wonder the jedi got wiped out when even a bunch of random, small-time raiders can take multiple lightsaber hits, are almost immune to Force powers, and have ludicrously overpowered weaponry.

I actually quite enjoy the exploration and the storytelling, and I like going back over areas once you've developed new abilities and unlock new ways to get around, but can we just ditch the entire combat mechanics and just make it a jedi explorer game, please?

The combat is awful. Absolutely fucking awful. How did this garbage ever get the green light? Visual cues are all over the place, several of the red attacks only display as they hit you and have *exactly the same animation* as the regular attacks. And don't get me started on the stunlocking.

My resting hand position when I'm at work 😄

Always ready.

Cheers 😊 Representing in a personal case that I've probably overinvested in and it's stressing me out, but one way or another it'll be done tomorrow

Cancel culture gone wild, smdh

Getting ass-kicked by anxiety today. I know the cause and it'll be sorted after tomorrow, but still having a tough one.

Biblically accurate northern lights

Who is the subject here? Could be many acts! Who knows?!*

A screenshot of a pair of tweets, the text reads: If your band is doing a tour and your "date" in a particular city is a festival then you haven't played that city in your tour. Just saying. And also: This, but international. If your band is touring and only plays London, you haven't "toured the UK", you've played in London.

Tapping the sign(s).

Playing Jedi Survivor and remembering why I hated Fallen Order.

"Press B to dodge. Glowing red attacks cannot be blocked and must be dodged. Unless it's a rancor, which means dodging does fuck all and it's an instant kill attack. Enjoy!"

Is there some version of the Vince McMahon meme (or similar) where each step gets more laser-eyed, but then the final one is a massive, crashing letdown?

OF COURSE I'M FUCKING KIDDING

HAPPY BØRTHDAY @nickayhf.bsky.social!!!

Logging into bluesky. Is it some kind of special day today? Scanning the timeline, no, nothing.

Sounds like the sort of thing a dingus would say.

At some point these beers are just going to be smoothies

I'm 100% here in support of the protests, but violence like this will only get worse. Now, I appreciate that I'm seeing stuff out of full context, but when 5 or 6 guys are singling out a protester and kicking the shit out of them while many more protesters look on and do nothing? That's not right.

Weird thing to get blocked for.

Not being funny, but "dozens"? Why weren't they driven out by the protesters? How were they allowed to cause so much harm? Left-wing movements need to wise up about defending themselves or be wiped out.

Fuck every copper that ever took a wage
Every blue bastard with his baton raised
A beast that even his master hates
Only a coward fights for the state

Got it. Nice one.
