I try not to feed into the constant political discourse on Bluesky but it's really fun when people care more about the east wing of the white house than they do about the people suffering from the government shutdown.

Yeah, I'm firmly all digital for basically every media type that isn't movies and TV shows. It doesn't help that every few years there's a news story about Discovery revoking access to their stuff from paying customers for the "crime" of buying that stuff from a storefront they stopped selling from.

An image from the movie "the room" depicting a scene where a character is observing an intimate moment while saying "I just like to watch you guys".

Hey @mrdiamondj.bsky.social? Where did this picture of your game collection come from?

You mean the Bible?

The game could use some dungeon type areas to really satisfy both ends. I think the open world benefits Pokémon massively but I also think that you can still have that more linear design with the dungeons.

You see, SSX 3 straight up controls better on the PS2, but it looks better and displays in proper wide-screen on my Series X.

I can't win.

The classic goose chasing a man while calling them out for something they said meme format. The first bit of text says "What do you mean "privilege"privilege"? While the second one elaborates it to "What do you mean you didn't have the "privilege" of visiting Epstein Island?"

I can see the argument that BOTW is the more focused experience but honestly TOTK just adds so much that it is hard to go back.

I tested it and can confirm that the Switch 2 does not support the Wii Speak microphone for Game Chat.

Which ultimately just means that the Switch 2 treats Wii Speak with the same reverence that the Wii did back when it was relevant and I appreciate Nintendo's consistency on the matter.

So basically, what I'm saying is that we're going to need a trailer, ideally one with a roof so the police can't tell that this is the trailer that has the Switch 2 cart on it, a ramp so we can easily and quickly load that cart onto the trailer, and some straps to strap the cart down in the trailer.

Especially considering that, even if retailers like to grossly exaggerate it, there is a pretty substantial uptick on shoplifting and that includes organized retail crime groups who are almost certainly trying to figure out what store that is.

As someone who spent way too much time working retail:

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LEAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF MERCHANDISE THAT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT PROTECTION ON A ROLLING CART IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SALESFLOOR UNATTENDED?!?

So I'm currently playing a game called Not for Broadcast and this speech that one of the characters gives feels poignant enough given the current shitshow we are all going through as a nation to be worth sharing.

I mean just because our choices are between gross incompetence and malicious intent doesn't mean we are only allowed to call out one side.

I'd say they are decent but they are definitely falling behind in terms of features compared to other controller brands and it isn't like the stuff they do have is on the top of the line or anything.

@mrdiamondj.bsky.social wake up. A new version of Oblivion just dropped for you to buy and not play.

So I have an out of the blue game recommendation for @jonnymetts.bsky.social. It's kind of a modern twist on Retro Game Challenge with a cool metanarrative thing. I will also say that the less you know about the game going in, the better.

I want to point out that on the @radiofreenintendo.bsky.social Pax Panel in 2011, @mrdiamondj.bsky.social introduces himself as a man of leisure

Say what you will about Jon Lindemann he is clearly a man of consistency and integrity.

The king is just an incompetent layabout who can't even move more than one space per turn without the assistance of another piece while the queen is a blatant Mary Sue who can just leap across the board in a single bound.

Blatant SJW propaganda.

Like it or not, pledging to not back Israel would have pissed off a bunch of moderates.

That said she was going to piss people off either way so you might as well just do the right thing but I can see the calculus that led to her playing it the way she did.

But if the person actually responsible for all of this is already dead then WTF does terrorizing his family accomplish at this point?

Even ignoring the decency argument, why not go after one of the countless other shitty Healthcare CEOs instead of just terrorizing a grieving family?

Our Healthcare system is an exploitative dumpsterfire and people's families don't deserve to be swatted.

Both of these things can be true.

IDK if telling people who think swatting is shitty they belong on Truth Social is quite the winning message for you, champ.

I mean you don't have to twist yourself into a little pretzel with your weird persecution complex just because somebody dared to point out that swatting someone's family is a shitty thing to do.

I mean fair but that doesn't make swatting and bomb threats not a shitty ass thing to do.

Important first post.

I should probably post something but IDK what. Here, Have a cat on a cat.
