i'm a huge sucker for the "one serious one, one silly one" style of epitaph, and this one (from @maximumgraves.bsky.social's brilliant comic What Happens Next) might just be my favorite of all time.

NYT confirms Trump poop jet real

Honestly not seeing any reasons why the dems should cooperate at all with ending the shutdown, especially as Trump cuts programs & projects that already had funds appropriated to them. If it’s all going to be cut anyway why give the administration any daylight at all

one of the reasons i had trump derangement syndrome is because i couldn't stand how "HOT" he made are country

“This is an acceptable station”
-what I hear every time the subway stops in NY

All Andrew Cuomo knows how to do is eat hot chips, kill grandmas, and lie

Less i frames in Indiana

they don't even have solidarity with other old people. cuomo turned retirement homes into plague camps

You gotta fight like hell but I keep thinking about Nevada

tfw you hear "dinner's ready!" and it's corn dog night

people don’t want moderate common sense policy, they want the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Lou Bega’s Mamba No. 5 is the song of the summer

I recognize I’m going through an Emotional Time rn but watching Sinners last night I actually liked it more than on my first watch, and I really enjoyed my first watch!!

Seventy six trombones lead the marching can

1000 years ideological warfare against the American pickup truck

a bat just got in my parents’ house and we had to catch it and release it outside and she was a complete badass about it

my girlfriend was too sore to lean over and give me a kiss on the way off to bed so she gave me a firm handshake

Unfortunately I am obligated to buy persona 4 on every platform it is released on. I picked up a PlayStation TV a year and a half before it p4g was released on Steam just to play p4g. I’ve beaten it less times than p5 or dqxi though

I definitely want to see how it continues to develop, and it’s a very charmingly designed game, so, idk what my point is.

It’s ok, good even, for a roguelike to make you lose sometimes, but it’s generally better if those losses are Interesting. Love balatro to death but it might suffer from a similar design problem lol

still figuring out how I feel about 9 Kings, but I think it’s just because the difficulty seems to oscillate between “way too easy” and “whoops rng made it so you couldnt scale so now you Lose”

Hilarious

Very excited for 3 years from now when everyone’s got their Baldur’s Gate 3 clones coming out

But also, all of the “video gamey” elements are delightful, tying together some of the best concepts from Paper Mario TTYD, Lost Odyssey, and Dark Souls (I know) into a really satisfying turn based system. It’s really nice that we’re being blessed with all these nice turn based rpgs lately
