And so a new Pokéventure begins :))

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

lol truly , at least we get to revisit Tomba. Can’t wait for this!

Literally this guy sucks.

This dude has always sucked.

Flexing my nerd, a nice top off to a recent shiny obsession brought about by Legends Arceus.

(Also GameStop got more codes so I could get these and one thanks to the amazing @jakep47.bsky.social who helped me get one 💞)

lol yes you freakin do

The hype begins

Melinoë standing at the Rift of Thessalay before the beginning of area 2.

I finished up Hades 2 tonight (I had put 90 hours into Early Access so I had a pretty clear path to the end). Still plenty to do and see I’m sure and I can’t wait to experience that but damn… what a beautiful fucking video game. So many big feelings at the end

Mallory and I at dinner, showing off her recently pierced ears

Today is @bootlegbird.bsky.social’s birthday and I got to have just the most lovely day with her, took her out to get her ear’s pieced as a present, and then out to dinner. So happy to spend my days with this wonderful woman 💙💚

Silksong but Blue Prince is really close too. I’ve loved many games this year but those two are tough to beat IMO

I was home sick today and already missed playing Silksong don’t judge me

The completion screen for Silksong showing a 4h 44m completion time, under the 5 hours needed to get the “Speedrunner” achievement

I cannot believe I got the Speedrunner achievement on my first attempt. Just under the wire.

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us

And so this brilliant and beautiful adventure comes to a close. What a trip. What a game. I will never forget my time with this one.

Thank you @teamcherry.bsky.social

Pizza #1 which unfortunately got hurt pretty bad when I put it in the oven.

My most recent pizza, with a very nice crust and a big bubble in the middle, which I didn’t mind.

My second most recent pizza with just a really good shape to it, and a perfect crust.

I’ve been making hand made pizzas and refining my craft on it for a bit now and have definitely come a long way in making them. For comparison this is my first pizza versus my most recent two.

Getting using the peel down, stretching the dough the right way, I’ve learned so much.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Hell yeah

the trans pride flag

Here is some non-satire for you:

Trans rights forever.

Trans rights are human rights.

It’ll be just as good when you get there! And there will be more guides lol, which is absolutely what I’m running into now

A shot from a cutscene in Hollow Knight Silksong.

I am so happy that while playing Silksong, organically I came to the very same thought that I did when I played Hollow Knight: this is the gift that just keeps on giving.

A feat in indie development. Astounded by how good this game is.

Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home this summer.

Willful ignorance. Infuriating hypocrisy.

Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.

Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.

The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

The impulse was already there and had been for a while, white nationalism isn’t new. GG caused the creation/expansion of online infrastructure for networking, community building (mainly among young online people) and spreading/testing of tactics and propaganda. But it didn’t invent the fasc wheel.

You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate.

It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

My takeaway from all of this right now: It’s almost like all the marginalized folks who have been telling you these alt-right, forum-dwelling neo-gamer gaters are a Real Fucking Problem are valid and shouldn’t be repeatedly told to “just ignore them.” It’s not the games, but it sure is the culture!
