In the dawn of man, he was a lonely creature, naked and defenseless. Life was short and cold. Then, groups formed and found strength in numbers. One of them said "I will become a customer success team lead." Another said "I will write tickets on Jira, Asana, or Trello." Thus was paradise realized.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families.

Personally I’ve decided to wait a while before buying. I buy Nintendo consoles for their first party games and I was a little underwhelmed with the Direct. Mario Kart and Donkey Kong look excellent, but I would have liked one more heavy hitter this year to really hook me in.

I think discussing powerscaling as an idea within the context of one series can be interesting. But the β€œmy anime dad can beat up your anime dad” stuff is very dumb, especially when they make up terms like β€œplanetary-level” or whatever.

I’m approaching 20 hours and was starting to think I could see the big picture. Evidently I’m not even *remotely* close

What day are you on? I don’t think I’ve had a truly bad run yet, but I’m only(?) 12 days in so I still have a lot of options to pivot to if my plans for a day don’t work out. I’ve been wondering if dead runs will become a problem as I start running out of unsolved puzzles and unseen rooms.

My biggest fear is dying of a Tiktok challenge that isn't even trending, so no one knows what I was trying to do. Just finding my body with 800 rubber bands tied around my neck and my head 60 ft across the room where it popped off. Asking "And why is he nude below the belt? That can't be part of it"

Forever holding on to hope that some day an indie game studio will create a spiritual successor to Actraiser.

I initially read this as "emo merch" and for a few seconds my brain was trying to process which My Chemical Romance album that shirt design was from.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

Well hold on, let's not count Burger King out just yet.

Late to the party, but I just tried the demo for Rift of the NecroDancer and I'm very impressed. It's "only" a 3K rhythm game but it's much more than the sum of its parts thanks to really tricky sight-reading that constantly forces you to think ahead. Looking forward to the launch in a few days.

I mean, I know it isn’t ideal, but I don’t know another way to catch a wild goose.

Can't wait for Nomada Studio (Gris, Neva) to announce their next game. I have a feeling it'll be a platformer with watercolor art about grieving the loss of a loved one.

But for real, Neva is a beautiful game and it's worth playing. Just... Maybe not a week after you had to put your dog to sleep.

I had to squeeze into the character limit, plus I don't want to get put on some kind of list lol.

As a free thinker alpha male one of my highest values is unquestioning obedience to authority. Boss knows best, that's why he's the boss

I’m enjoying Prodeus much more overall. I’ve seen people call it a hybrid of Quake and Brutal Doom and that feels pretty accurate. It’s a lot more faithful to the games that inspired it imo.

This might be controversial but as a fan of 90’s FPS I’m struggling to get into WH40K: Boltgun. I appreciate how heavy your character feels, but the effect is lessened by bullet sponge enemies, and level design is too focused on big combat arenas with waves of respawning enemies.

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

Honestly surprised the Skinless Men end up being more popular than Imperatrix Paine.

Over the next 4 years you may feel an urge to make a post relating politics to your favorite pop culture franchise. I am absolutely begging you not to.

Please, I will pay any price to never see another β€œthis is just like in Endgame when Thanos…”
