kind of wild that speaking out loud the subtext of “a wealthy man’s money is equal to votes” is normalized to the extent that a popular democrat can say it without batting an eye

I’m a romantic so I would eat the poisoned and unnatural kwang toong (bok choy) because I understand the relationship between desire and oblivion

I almost got into a car accident and I had just been yelling “freezy freaky” and then I thought about how those were almost my last words and that haunts me

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

I mean AI feels like the place where those two overlap whether rational or not tho

Looked it up and the video was produced by the daily caller and is so embarrassing it would make you want to die

There was a few days during ajit pai was chairman of the fcc under trump 1 where he was putting out trolly vids about ending net neutrality (incl one where he did the Harlem shake (?)) and I remember seeing 4chan Nazis, who I assume need net neutrality for their pastimes, cheering on his trolling,

This is one of those sacred ebay objects you can’t stop seeing at night like when you see someone get injured really bad and have flashbacks for like 12 hrs

You should see this sakuga parisien exceptionnel bro, comme un fragment de divinité, parfait, aux contours si nets qu'on pourrait s'y couper.

The French have invented the denatured super anime, it’s perfectly animated perfectly designed, airtight, no room for heart soul or guts; it’s like what kpop did for hip hop dancing but it looks like if a special computer child in a gifted class wanted to make an 00s MADHOUSE anime when he grew up,

Damn he’s good

Maybe they feel like they can watch ice raids from home now bc I don’t actively see it at the same frequency but the energy is still there

Think it was prob that and more ppl in public after the initial Covid waves but like summer of 2021-2022 I could just see red faced dudes just screaming at people working retail everytime I was in a store and got freaked out that that’s just what it always would be

I think the culture, sp the right wing culture convinced people to act out in public is both their identity and performance of their power. It seemed to hit a weird crescendo, anecdotally, as far as seeing an older white man having a tantrum every time I was in a store right after Biden was elected

I like driving cars and I also wish this

What this underscores is the sheer danger of market consolidation in gaming. While companies like Valve and Epic do not legally have to carry a game, to not do so is functionally a death knell for that game on the PC; Santa Ragione has said it threatens the studio’s continued existence. This is not equivalent to a theater chain declining to carry a movie; this is two (mostly one) American companies more or less deciding what content is commercially viable across most of the world, in ways that are somehow more vague and opaque than the MPAA. This is a hegemony of American prudishness, applied globally, incoherently, unevenly, and unseriously. Anybody responsible for these decisions would be vaporized in seconds by a Pinku movie from the 1970s, and if a single person in this chain of command has an arts degree they are pretending they don’t for the sake of an ill-defined idea of business. Horses cannot be the ceiling for what is artistically and commercially possible in games, because otherwise we are in deep horseshit.

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb).

At least read this paragraph:

A page that looks like a scan from an old game magazine. A circular graphic contains a watercolor illustration of an enthusiastic wormlike dinosaur thing with a smiling yellow star and a worried looking blue diamond. A box in the lower half contains an illustration of a treasure box with a funny face, decorated with white crosses. In front of it are a green potion, a gold coin, and a silver key. There are also 2 game screenshots. One is of a title screen, featuring the dinosaur like worm, and one is of the same character standing in a little stonework house before a blue spheroid face, which is speaking. The text on the page is one continuous statement and does not relate to the images. It says: Header: Wondering how young I’ll die. Featured text, next to round illustration: We now take it as granted that the western empires will collapse. Title screen screenshot: In a real sense, it has already happened. House and dialog screenshot: we were born into a dead world. Text below screenshots: and now decay begins. We, having prepared all our lives for a future that can never arrive, feel lost. We must go on living. But what will life be, and how long can it last? America has become a nation of endless plagues

I always assumed he was talking to a peer so someone with a child. But ppl said crazy shit back then I remember being scandalized by a beatnuts lyric where he said “catch your mom coming off of the train/put an ice pick in the back of her brain/it’s that plain”

Yeah I brought him presents, uhhhhhh, I brought him this aromatic resin and also… this other aromatic bark. For the newborn.

bro the democrats haven't even rigged the primaries in his favor yet. at least wait for that before you start going sloppy style on it

This is really impressive

SCREAMING HEAD COMES OUT FEB. 16th 2026!!!
meanwhile please wishlist/repost to help with the visibility of the game on the steam storefront!

FriendCarpet is pretty cool if he’s around

Ears! Ears!

That’s the joke!

Talking to women is easy, just approach a girl and say “hey, I read somewhere that mathematicians can turn a sphere inside out” and if she says “yes, that’s true”, lean in and say “what’s the big deal? Just like a hole in it and pull it through” and you’re off to the fuckin races,

I too am sick of all these “make the world a better place” people out here polluting the dating pool

I always think about this wrt Zuckerberg being a dead eyed sociopath haaa
