I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.

Aerial_Knight’s DropShot Makes Finger Guns Cool Again Despite Its Pitfalls Smoke Wallace and his Finger Gun carry a thrilling but uneven arcade-like experience.

Aerial_Knight's DropShot is a kick-ass game that, despite some momentum issues, makes you feel as badass as its protagonist Smoke Wallace when things come together. Finger guns are cool again (or at least for however long you play DropShot). My review:

If video games had remained at that level of graphical fidelity, the industry would be in a much better place right now.

One of my controversial gaming opinions is that there hasn't been a single PS5 era game that looks better than Batman Arkham Knight.

Oh, and it requires Windows 11, because of course it does.

32 GB of ram. For a fucking LEGO game. 16 is also ridiculous. These games should be playable on a $100 laptop, not a fucking $1000+ gaming PC.

What the hell are we doing, man.

I have clicked "she me less like this" on this shit every single time, but it never seems to get the message.

It's also obsessed with showing me sports posts now, which is less annoying.

"Ok, that's 99 posts they'll probably want to see. Hmm... let's throw in a diaper fetish one, just for good measure! 🙂"

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Mod lead is now on reddit claiming that I didn't show any new content when in the video I went to "Taris" for a side quest and it was just earth and the moon. You can still see America on it 💀

Another aspect of modern online media criticism I can't stand is how nothing is allowed to just be good anymore. Everything either has to be a "groundbreaking masterpiece/absolute cinema" or "the worst thing ever made".

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”

Works for me.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Living under capitalism is like being forced to play a board game you dislike where the rules are boring, unfair and nonsensical but which the winners, who started with an advantage, keep explaining are excellent, and if you try improve the game you’re “cheating” but if you stop playing you’ll die

More games should have a cowardly baby mode. More games should let me suffer less consequences for dying or mistakes. Should have a "I just want the story" mode. Games should not pride themselves on "look how difficult we are".

I'm bad at video games and I wanna experience the good stories too :c

my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

in light of today's "The Big Game", it is my pleasure to report that avgn's football rant is highly compatible with laura palmer's theme

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Feel bad for the boring fucks that struggle to watch old sci-fi stories about the future "cause actually that's not how [past year] was", or conversely "why does [future year] have significantly worse tech than we have now?"

Have some whimsy and enjoy things.

not enough people treat video games as unavoidably art

sure there are really smart people talking about the really artsy games, and huge fans hanging on to every piece of lore in their favorite series, but not enough people apply literary analysis and historical context to like..

This has to be one of the biggest PR fuck ups I've ever seen. It's almost impressive, really.

"It's a GOOD thing that we hired a known sex pest! The vibes are so much more authentic!" -An absolute idiot that should never speak in public again.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I don't hate these designs (excluding "Jetpack Cat"), but man, these aren't great.

Also, FIVE new heroes? In a game that's already got such a bloated roster? Why?

The cat has eyeliner, so you know it's a girl.
