Apparently Eritrea 🇪🇷 isn't very permissive with .er TLDs, so my dream of owning of benschroed.er will remain just that. 😔

I knew you at some point during this timeline, but it was only ever as Eevee, the smart, witty, interesting person who curated the #tcod IRC community that helped me cope with my own adolescent troubles. I’m sorry this stuff was done to you. You deserve all good things. 🩷

Studying @antialiasis.dragonflycave.com's Voltorb Flip guide years ago prepared me for this moment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5bz...

I admire the way you can articulate the vague feelings of LLM-slop-related dread I have but am not quite cerebral enough to verbalize.

I really enjoy your writing. Even now, when my brain struggles to focus on longer-form text, I find your posts so gripping. I’m so glad you continue to do it. 🩷

Just finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Too soon to say it's my favorite game ever? Probably. But it sticks the landing so well and I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time.

Yeah, it feels more like a social clout marker. Domain verification already serves this function perfectly.

Woot - congrats!

If anyone in my network knows of a business (or is an independent artist/creator/etc.) who would be willing to donate to a cool LGBTQ org’s auction, please let me know! Doesn’t matter how big or small!

(I’m on the Board for this org and soliciting donations this year has been brutal.)

It was wild being a fan of the cartoon as a kid and checking out the Shonen Jump manga at a bookstore. The manga was so much more fucked up.

Finally got to see the fabled Anza Borrego bighorn sheep!

Spending the weekend in a dark sky community (Anza Borrego).

The great @gene.meme just now: "DEI is actually a very capitalistic endeavor"; you'd expect corporate execs to embrace it, because it's about *trying to expand your customer base and reaching broader audiences.*

Four Steam Deck compatibility icons with descriptions. - Unsupported: Game runs and plays perfectly on Steam Deck. Probably runs 60fps with supersampling. - Unknown: You need to enable trackpad mouse or gyro joystick, but there's a perfect community control layout that already exists. - Playable: Everything works 100% perfect out of the box, but there's one bit of menu text that's 12pt instead of 14pt so we can't verify this. The system keyboard may pop up but it works flawlessly, which is a problem for some reason. - Verified: Game performs at an average of 32fps on Low settings. Every cutscene is broken without installing ProtonGE. Buttons don't work for some reason.

Got a Steam Deck and confused about which of your games work on it? Wonder what those little icons mean? Here's a handy official guide to help you start with PC gaming on the go!

If you truly believe you're capable of living without Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, now is a great time to prove it! Otherwise I'll assume you're a helpless addict.

Except on a PS5 lmao

Castlevania? 👀

All of those excuses for why it's absolutely vital to keep your Facebook account are just that — excuses.

I try not to police other's consumption habits, but this is a pretty firm line in the sand for anyone who claims to support those of us in the LGBTQ community.

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

Merry Christmas everybody!

hardly the first to observe this but conspiracy theories don't have an undismissable CTA overlay

Yakuza 0. Make the first hit the best one.

"Concord"

A pretty good year for gaming, for sure.

Woot! Enjoy! It's a gem for sure.

Nice! What's your Steam ID? I'm steamcommunity.com/id/ArcMoogle/ :)

Good point.

But isn't one of the advantages of Bsky that your feeds are entirely yours to control? At least here you can curate a proper timeline without a malevolent algorithm throwing in posts designed for maximum (angry) engagement.
