I work at a newspaper. Writing IS my fucking job! This is like saying "by removing patients from a doctor's workload..."

I wanna buy that student a coffee.

firewatch is for yearners | underleveled Moises Taveras revisits the tragedy and triumph of Firewatch's doomed situationship (Further Reading: Rachel Atchley on Firewatch). "Firewatch is for the yearners. Always has been. It is for the romantics. For those well-versed in desire. For the messy bitches out there. And for as long as I've known anything about love and longing, I've known it to be the hardest thing we do. Firewatch, which came out around my first (and amateurish) brushes with unvarnished and messy love, was highly instrumental in my understanding of that notion."

we did it, chat. we made the pull quote. appreciate ya @critdistance.bsky.social

Popping up across Brooklyn... All of the people featured in the windows are Black people.

The right-wing obsession with Sparta is so weird to me. They were a culture that mandated pedophilia, were ruled by corrupt oligarchs, and eventually collapsed because of their dependence on slave labor and I see it now, that's on me.

I think I must concede that for the most part, making tweets on twitter and having them get tons and tons of likes and thinking "hehe awesome" or "oh no everyone's mad" probably took more time from me than it was worth. I feel bad because I was v defensive of my tweetings

if you care about winning elections, your bosses fucked up. the fault is theirs, for fucking up. the fault is not with the left for pointing out they were fucking up ahead of time

the democrats deliberately boosted the candidacy of donald trump and ran status-quo empty suits against him and those brilliant strategies got the US two trump terms. a few oddly still have the audacity to blame the left for their lack of enthusiasm in cheering on these obviously awful plans

At some point today when you're holding that phone, maybe take a little time to consider your notifications. Ask yourself:
Was any of it time-sensitive and in need of immediate attention?
Would it have been fine to open up the app and find the things later?
What can I turn off?

Only universe where a PS6 is even remotely worth a damn to literally anybody in the next 4 years is if it comes with a free voucher for a month of rent and maybe a bag or two of groceries

those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day

Me, waiting for my Virtual Boy to show up today.

it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

So much of what is being presented as "Quality of Life"-features is in reality sanding down the edges.

They are crutches for both the designer and the player; you don't really need to craft a compelling *world* you just need to have a tiny UI-element in the bottom right and a quest marker, done.

Also note the way that the burden is always, always placed upon the left; the right must be catered to, the center must be appealed to, the left? Suck it up, accept whatever is offered, perform the labor of care and capitulation and compromise.

A familiar dynamic.

hey I'm in this one!! you get to hear me talk about my game of the year 2025, which is also My Favorite Video Game Ever.

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.

if I ever voiced a character in a video game only to find out they intentionally also included my harassers in it I would simply steal the lungs of the director

feels cruel for Bluesky to have a Popular With Friends tab, if any of us were popular with friends we wouldn't be on Bluesky

i never posted these here but here are some zelda cdi ganondorfs i did a while back

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.
