"Be reasonable about this," he says. "Meet me in the middle."
"OK," you say. You take a step forward.
He takes a step back.

I love that the Men's Hockey Team USA (minus 5) went to the White House and were served McDonald's while the Women's Hockey Team USA is going to Vegas to get treated like the royalty they are by Flavor Flav.

After a decade of stale turn-based tactics, Menace is a breath of fresh air The Battle Brothers makers have done it again, this time with a platoon-scale wargame.

Listen up nerds, MENACE is good. It's like if you smashed modern XCOM or Jagged Alliance into the idea of Advanced Squad Leader in the most successful way.

this is beautiful, your local pigeon community is blessed

Lois Lane says: JUST THINK, OUT OF THE SIX MILLION PEOPLE IN METROPOLIS, YOU AND I ALONE UNDER THE COUNTLESS STARS... Superman replies: WRONG - - THERE ARE 1549 STARS, TWO PLANETS, AND ONE ASTEROID VISIBLE TONIGHT!

Bluesky.

I thought they built little nests out of papers, like Eugene Tombs - is that not correct?

Evergreen.

Creating all 24 factions from Twilight Inscription (and Imperium I guess?) in Stellaris has been an interesting fixation for the last couple of days, and it's thrown up some interesting combinations of things.

Agree with all of this, except 'active respect for diverse opinions'

If you tell me you think the Earth is flat

Do you have a right to hold that opinion? Yes!
Do you have a right to express that opinion? Yes!
Do you have a right for that opinion to be respected?

NO

Not all opinions are equal!

i love people

we just be doin shit sometimes, wonderful

George McFly, happy as he ever gets, ready to wield the lash himself for once.

nearly all of post-WW2 american history can be explained by the split-second in Back to the Future when the bullying shifts from George McFly to Marty McFly, and George all but explodes in happiness at the idea of getting in on the torture on his own son, the new guy in town who sucks

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

okay yes I have been very quickly hooked by the first episode of the Magnus Archives, very good very good

it threw me for so long hearing adverts in Off Menu talk about Acast, thought James had set up his own podcast production company or something. It's not, it's not related at all. This is like the Day Owl all over again.

so which one?

lol @lindseyadler.bsky.social got an incredible photo of me applying lipstick using my pickguard as a mirror

A cross stitch of part of the title card for the 1991 SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) game The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. A longsword with a blue hilt that curves toward the blade, has a yellow eye in the entre of the hilt. The blade passes twice through the Z of the word Zelda, large and in a marbled red font. Above Zelda reads "The Legend Of" in a metallic grey gradient, and blow "A Link To The Past" in the same metallic grey gradient. Behind it all is the Tri-Force symbol - three gold triangles arranged in such a way to make a larger triangle with an upside down space for a triangle in the centre. The original title card has more, but here I just stitched the words/logo.

A cross-stitch of the title card for the 1986/87 Atari game "Crumble's Crisis". The hero of the game is a round red robot like thing with a round red head and white & black visor. It has flexible segmented arms with big white four fingers (three and one thumb) hands. Particles from it's jetpack fly behind it, as various creatures lurke in the corner - a round slime like thing with two eyes in the centre top of it's head, with big red clown feet; a red potato shaped creature with a big friendly smile, tiny wing ears at the top of its head, and smaller eyes either side of a round brown nose; an angry red ball creatures with fangs; and some kind of brown robed ghost creature with white hands poking out of the arms. A grandfather clock is on the other side of the main character, with another red slime creature atop, also looking disgruntled, grabs onto the first letter of the title card, the C - the font of the title is in big red bubble like fond, slightly overlapping each letter, with small red and white font beside and under it reading "Redrat Software".

For reference, two bits I finished years ago, also I'm really trying to get better at alt text so if you think I can improve on it then please let me know.

Title card for the 1989 Atari ST game "Ghouls 'n Ghosts" At the center of the image is the armour clad hero Arthur with a bright red cloak and wielding a sword, leaping toward the screen. Behind him is a tower of skulls, with a horned demonic howling ahead at the very top. Either side of Arthur are two skeletons in a blue hood and robe, each holding a scythe. In the background, a horde of bats flies on a dark blue night, a bolt of lightning either side hitting the title of the game at the bottom, in bloody red and white.

Title card for the 1988 Atari ST release of Out Run (also styled as OutRun with a capital O and R). The view is from behind a red sports card, a wide view showing a road and spectaors either side. A tall banner between two trees reads "start" in large letters. Cameras film from eithe side, and a man in a red shirt waves a chequered racing flag. Inside the car are the driver, with short brown hair, and a companion with long blonde hair. The title of the game is at the top, fading silver into bronze, flanked either side by the US Gold logo (a gold medal) and the SEGA logo.

Title card for the 1992 Atari ST release of Space Crusade. Based on the board game by Games Workshop/Citadel Miniatures, the title card shows a Blood Angels captain with cropped blonde hair in white power armour, shouting as he fires his boltgun, with the Blood Angels icon on the shoulder (a pair of outstretched wings with a gem at the top centre). Behind him at either side are two more Space Marines in Blood Angels colours (red with gold edge/detail) firing their bolt guns to either side. Two more Blood Angels are arriving in the distance, but to the right stands a large Dreadnought, a hulking half horse like beast with two digitigrade legs and large guns for arms, with angry little red eyes. The title for the game is on a black background at the top, in stylised metal font with sparkles on various letters.

Title card for the 1990 Atari ST release of Turrican. The main character of the game, a bio-engineered warrior with light blue/purple skin, black and red bottoms and a metal helmet with mask stands with a rifle in one hand pointed to the ground and the other arm held in the air, a bionic weapon shooting lightning and explosions behind them. They stand atop various ruins. The title of the game is above the character, in front of the explosions and fire behind. The text is in a gothic style with points sharp edges, a blue gradient from dark to light to dark with a white outline reads "Turrican"

so I'm planning on starting a new Atari ST title screen cross-stitch but I can't choose. Help me decide:

1) Ghouls & Ghosts
2) Outrun
3) Space Crusade
4) Turrican

I don't think it's an accident that this kind of thing keeps happening to

1. games made by women
2. games about women
3. games about black women
4. games made by black women (esp. Sweet Baby)

the way this industry treats black women is transparently disgusting.

"they won't stop at trans women they're coming for ALL women"

starmer, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, @lucympowell.bsky.social: shut up trannies!

18 months later: wait! they're coming for women? that's un-british!

labour are responsible for this escalation. they enabled the far right and here we are

In May 1978, the Evening News reported that Andrew had acquired the nickname "Randy Andy" (with "randy" being British slang for "sexually eager") while at Gordonstoun, owing to his being romantically involved with several women.

Nice to see the wheels of justice taking… just about 50 years to turn

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

The Esteemed Protos-Mu unleashed a binaric hymn as the Bone Grinder Cult threw the last of the new recruits into the Primus Femurator. As the machine spirit roared, the Lord Captain barked, "Arch Magos, what is the meaning of this?"

The Magos' vox crackled,
"In a recent project to improve..."

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.
