When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like β€œoh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

I don't know why these developers making AI generated games keep trying to get me to play their games, I'm not interested. Go have your AI play it.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

"Did Dr. Eggman repeatedly campaign on his plan to take over the world and reshape it into a robotic utopia in his image? Sure. But how was I supposed to know that he was serious about it?"

One of the most important lessons I've ever learned is that intellectualism is a type of hoarding disorder. It's when you amass knowledge and perspective, then never apply any of it to your life.

Box art for Air Zonk, a spinoff of Hudson Soft's Bonk franchise where instead of being a caveman who swings his head like a club, he's a robot similar to Astro Boy.

Stop debating this website's growth potential. I don't care. I'm a digital hermit crab. If it dies, I'll find another shell as I've done a dozen times before.

I only found out about this recently, but Mea Man (no typo) Battle Network 2 might be the most alaxy-brained romhack of all time

It removes all instances of the letter G from the game, for improved ameplay. This has chaotic effects on vast swathes of Battle Network 2

Sunk-cost fallacy and cheating students are the only things keeping AI in business at this point.

Just look at how usage of ChatGPT plummets as soon as the semester ends.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Rowling's 24/7 commitment to being an absolute nightmare ghoul is sort of extraordinary. She has every option in the world for how to spend her life and she commits herself entirely to hatred and self-righteous mean-spiritedness; some are more effective at evil but nobody puts in the hours like her.

I'm doing some deep cleaning in my workspace so I can get back to making more of these.

Here's Sash Lilac from the first Freedom Planet, Nei from Phantasy Star 2, Danger Mouse from, well, Danger Mouse, and Reize Seatlan who cameos across many games, but is best known for being in Shovel Knight.

People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.

A reminder not to let the National Center On Sexual Exploitation's official-sounding name fool you: they're the rebranded busybody group "Morality In Media", whom you might remember from such hits as "Trying to have Life Of Brian pulled from theatres" and "trying to connect queerness to mass murder"

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Comic. PERSON 1 [to person with white hat]: It’s so weird reading these 18th Century scholars argue about minor Biblical details. It’s like they’re an online fandom or somethingβ€”They’ve developed this whole elaborate canon. [caption] It’s fun when a word’s usage goes full circle and, by analogy, lands back on its original meaning.

Photo of a ThinkGeek Bag of Holding specifically for carrying electronic devices during conventions. It's all black with the logo and monkey mascot, and a packet of Dad's Root Beer drink mix and a tiny peanut butter wafer candy bar rest on top of it. A squad of Pikmin blooming yellow hibiscus flowers on their heads are milling around at the top.

With two working feet again, I've been clearing away the mess in my room and uncovering forgotten treasures.

Can I get a salute, an o7 in chat, for ThinkGeek? They were one of the greats before GameStop killed them.

If IGN has layoffs, nobody in games press is safe. If Microsoft has layoffs, nobody in platforms is safe. If Ubisoft and Bungie and NetEase have layoffs, nobody in game development is safe. If the Romeros get their funding pulled, no studio is safe.

It's rough out there, right now.
