please look forward to chapter 3 of soul of sovereignty on november 21st. #soulsov

To compete with Steam you must first:
- Make something as good as Half-Life 1 then 2

- Find a new method of distribution that nobody else has done, at the same time that the old one is dying

- Fail for 5 years with zero competition

- Release killer apps as good as Portal and Team Fortress 2

The wall bumps dinging you is *so mean*

Also: you can do it! 🙂

It is very tedious yes but if you plan on doing the endgame stuff it’s definitely worth the effort. Pre-clearing is a good idea if you’re having trouble. Double the tedium at one go but hopefully precludes further extended tedium.

if i thought i could sell a story on it anywhere in 2025 when no one is thinking about venture bros, i would be writing a full interpretation of how the show's representation of queerness changes over time from edgelord to "the characters are actually now truly exploring their queer identities"

Just heard the latest Triple Click and felt compelled to let you know there is also a Venture Bros movie which came out in 2023 and is absolutely worth watching. Beautiful capstone to a very weird and fascinating series. Title is “Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart.”

Good call. The 多言語対応 version is still super tough to get here. (Glad I got lucky in round one)

literally if ai worked at all companies would keep it secret and use it to make a lot of money like they wouldnt advertise to you

Time to save more fleas!

Oh my god I just saw a couple get separated by the closing doors of a Yamanote train. They were holding hands and it closed *on their clasped hands.*
He let go and stepped back onto the platform leaving her hand poked out through the doors for a moment before she pulled it inside.
💔😭

The game starts with you going to *fight and defeat a god.* You later learn that that god exists in another plane and has a family. That doesn't make the characters you've been journeying with *not* human, and it doesn't change the fact that you're fighting against gods! How do people not get this?!

This is something I really find fascinating in how so many people seem to go "oh, I guess none of this matters?" when that's so *clearly* not the point.

Spoilers in my next reply. Chaining this down so there's a bit more of a buffer.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

That would be the bleachers, right?

…yeah

Saw it on Sunday. Was glad I wasn’t the only person in the theater sniffling through tears at multiple points in the film.

(The pamphlet design is so good!)

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Story is perhaps deeper, but the initial cast of characters is slimmer and not as immediately catchy as Hades imo. Possible this changes in 1.0 but I don’t think it’s likely.

Depends why you didn’t click. I think Hades II is more technically complex and demanding compared to Hades, especially when comparing the first few hours of each and the learning curve. I expect it to pick up the difficulty discourse from Silksong in some respects.

Kinda cute that they gave you line of sight to the Konami booth 👀

I’ll be there Thursday so I’ll be sure to say hi!

I think both of them were on sale the other day. I guess the sale timing was set differently though? Very odd.

I'm continuously baffled how flagrantly anti-DEI people insist anyone not a straight christian white man must have gotten their job not based on merit, then they fire people with exceptional qualifications doing the job successfully and replace them with a wildly unqualified buddy from the golf club

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

They definitely used to. I know they nerfed sand worms as part of the "everyone hates the run back to Last Judge" fix. Lava should unless you have the heat-resistant charm equipped I think.

YouTube video by Bandai Namco Entertainment America ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN | Bring Me to Life Trailer

The whole thing was made even more surreal when Bandai Namco dropped this official trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign less than a week after the finale aired. Just a wonderful gift from the universe in these dark times.

Season 1 was fascinating. Season 2 is just some of the very best TV ever made.

incredibly normal gamer stuff

You Really Need to See Epstein’s Birthday Book for Yourself This time, the conspiracy theorists were right.

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.
