My impression was things were getting better but I haven't really looked into it since 2020.

I do wonder if "games" is just too broad. Sim City, Celeste, CoD, and Threes being the same subject strains practicality. I studied Film and it did not have to stretch anywhere near that hard lol.

Always look to see what the tech bros want for their own kids: small class sizes with human teachers, human tutors with expert content knowledge, cell phone restrictions in classrooms, high per pupil spending, the arts and humanities--and much more they say is too costly for public schools.

i am once again saying that if you allow polling to define rights, you don't have any real rights at all

I loved this game as a kid! Doom clone with psionics and FMV cut scenes 🤘🤘

On the bright side, shout out to @guildwars2.com support, who were super helpful and recovered my decade+ old Guild Wars 1 account 👍

Was feeling nostalgic, tried to install Minecraft. Apparently my account is invalid, because I didn't migrate it to a Microsoft account by 2023. Looks like people with stale enough accounts like mine received no warning emails this was happening. Pretty annoyed at this, prob more than I should be.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a goodun if you haven't gotten to try it yet!

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis.

In 1933.

+ + _jkrow & 2h PLEASE PLEASE disconnect activity tracking on Facebook. It's how they track everything you do off Facebook, every purchase you make, every website you visit so they can make money off your data and serve you more ads. I found out they had my BANK ACCOUNT, credit card, and ovulation tracking information. ! Here's how to deactivate it: 701 123 { 239 V 289 _jkrow " 2h 1. Go to Facebook settings 2.

UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]

It was such an honor and a pleasure getting to work + game with you on LoR ❤️ can't wait to see what you do next!! Hopefully see you around, and lmk if you're ever in Tacoma area!

Ya I mean if your controller is oriented sideways you might wanna be selective about the UI on-screen. But they already don't match--the right joycon has ABXY.

Personally I just generally struggle with modern QTEs. I want the buttons to look different in more than one way. "Press X" like wym arrrrg

Yeah if you like had Animal Crossing and walked around campus early on you probably woulda seen more of it. It definitely faded over time unfortunately.

Like maybe I'm basic but seeing "oh lol this is [insert coworker/neighbor/random airport kid I walked past]'s character??" I got a kick out of. Brought a sorta IRL social ambiance to single player games.

Yeah! I thought it was really fun seeing which little encounters/characters you'd get passing by crowded places or neighborhoods or school/work/whatever. I was mostly 3DS era, dunno if that was different form DS.

Wishlist confirms:
Backwards compatibility
Better shoulder button solution for joycons

Wishlist unclear:
StreetPass
Better joysticks on joycons

Wishlist denials:
Less awkward dock
Colors on the face buttons so button prompts actually work (also glares at PS5)

Please have Street Pass please please pleeeeease

Screen shot of a couple of cats listed in the database. One is a grey and white, and the other is an orange and white cat.

For folks who may be missing a pet in the recent LA wildfires, you can search through this database to see if your pet was picked up and currently with Pasadena Humane!
I saw other animals such as a turtle, tortoise, and chickens as well ✨💖

The fact that you're right 😭

Is this verbatim or a translation??

hmmmmmmmmff 🍷

You will NEVER guess what this reply by a government agency is in response to.

The Mario 64 intro scene with a letter from Princess Peach, reading: Dear Mario. Please come to the castle. I'm down bad. Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool (Peach)

CATS from the video game Zero Wing (the All Your Base Are Belong To Us game), saying: "I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is Futile"

Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, saying to Richter "Get out of my house"

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

As a film major, seeing the term photogénie is weirdly nostalgic at this point

I'ma blame the election outcome on this

"It's funny when you think about it, because if Trump wins, Peanut's owner won't be able to make money on Only Fans because Project 2025 will ban porn."

:the attendant swabbing my burning forehead with a cloth in 8th century Byzantium: "She has been delirious and babbling all night my lord."

[Climbing soapbox] but the REAL travesty was that you couldn't use the extra yellow hearts to pull the Master Sword. I was SO STOKED about that plan and even thought it was intended. That failing felt like the least BOTWy thing to happen to me in BOTW, almost gave up on the game right then & there.

I remember wanting hearty food to work this way (healing that can overheal) cuz it ended up with a boring optimization instead: most of my cooked food inventory was single-ingredient hearty dishes, for the cheap full-heal.
