Help Maha and her family to rebuild their lives Hi!Β My name is Daisy Neilson and I live in the United Staes. I wanted to take a moment to intorduce you to an incredible family that I have been blessed to get to know.

I’m Maha, a widow from Gaza and mother of 7. Our home was destroyed, and we’ve been displaced many times. My daughter Israa just gave birth to my first grandchild in Gaza, where food and medicine are scarce. Please help us survive πŸ™πŸ’” chuffed.org/project/help... ,Paypal www.paypal.com/paypalme/hel...

Hunger and poverty have no honor or morals. The harshest way of thinking in the Gaza war is how to provide food without thinking about its quality because hunger does not care about taste or smell. Generous and giving people, donate or tell my story to others.

Just played the first three levels of the first episode and this is great, as you might expect from the name it makes extensive use of lighting and also has lots of nice architectural details. Combat difficulty (on HMP) feels about on par with the original Doom, though a Caco does show up in E1M3!

I also looked up a couple reviews of Tales of the Shire and I don't think I've ever seen such brutal takedowns from YouTubers who cover "cozy games".

negative steam review:
Scripted death right in the beginning of the game, no way to avoid, no way to remove the 'achievement' stain from your play history when it happens

And the game dev and their crony community call this 'a pivotal part of gameplay mechanics' and not what it actually is, a direct, coded betrayal of player trust.

Why should I bother investing any further time in this title when the dev just seems comfortable arbitrarily killing you whenever with no recourse to fit their childish metaexamination of savegame mechanics? Life is too short to be a script kiddie's emotional punching bag.

Even worse I have no idea how many more 'omg you died teehee' little moments and 'achievements' they've created to litter my profile with unerasable proof of failure.

But since the art is pretty and it's about friends, everyone will just ignore how emotionally abusive insertdisc5 is and how casually they just dismiss all criticism

Last and most bitter to me, the game is paced that you don't get the gutpunch till JUUUUST after the refund window. I kind of feel that was deliberate on the dev's part to even more severely punish people like me who don't enjoy being railroaded into character death.

Toby Fox did the same motherloving thing with their ;uwu omg toriel scripted crit,; and the community defended his abusive actions then just as I expect insertdisc5's will do here.

I am so motherloving tired of indie game devs being emotionally abusive and calling it cheeky fun

newsom has clips where he proudly and giddily destroys homeless people's only possessions and invited fascists on his podcast to discuss minority rights. if you think you can form a coalition around this guy then good luck to you in purchasing all these bridges people keep offering you

"electable" is a term completely detached from actual ability to win elections btw, it's just a term used by centrists to mean "has the exact politics i want"

Here's the last 30 seconds of the run. Framerate's definitely better! Also sorry about no alt text, my phone keeps spontaneously closing the text entry box.

Decided to test how Vampire Survivors runs on Switch 2 by making the most incredibly busted Sigma build I could, and the new weapons introduced in the last couple patches allowed me to create one vastly more busted than anything I'd previously accomplished.

Anyway, one video that came up in my search was titled "ACNH Pro Plays Hello Kitty Island Adventure" and... no. Just no. There's no such thing as an "ACNH Pro", it's fucking ANIMAL CROSSING.

For some reason I got to wondering if that Hello Kitty game that looked kind of Animal Crossing-like ever came out, and not only was it released SIX MONTHS AGO there's already DLC on the way. 😡

Now I'm reminded of the time The Smiths used a still from one of his movies for a single cover, which was briefly pulled because Stamp objected and replaced with a picture of Morrissey recreating the scene instead.

Because so much of practice is being content to say β€œyeah, fucked that” and to go back and try again, I do sometimes wonder if part of the key to diminishing the AI grift is to make people more comfortable with throwing stuff out, redoing it. It’s not failing, it’s how it works. It’s normal.

For some reason there are tons of those iceberg posts on the LastFM subreddit again and I have no idea why, these trends seem to come and go cyclically but I must have missed what sparked this one to come back so strong.
