When people say gaming is "too woke" now this is the shit they're talking about bringing back. 🙃

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

Helped my brother buy a new car today and this was the only decoration the salesman had on the desk.

Can of Limited Edition Star Wars Episode 1 Pepsi with Anakin on the can. It is inside a protective glass case.

"EA's going private."

Oh cool, maybe they'll be better with no shareholder pressure.

"because Saudi Arabia is buying them out."

Nevermind!

Corporatization is a bit of a double-edged sword I think. Perhaps we've lost a little authenticity; not for me to say. I've felt that for other things.

But without that growth, folks like me might never have gotten their foot in the door. And I'd still rather be here than a much bigger company.🤷‍♂️

But, not trying to convince you of anything either (and I know you didn't ask anyway). Preferring LTX is valid and I'm glad you had such a good experience when you went.

Dunno if you were at the last one but I personally enjoy your content and wish I'd have had time to say hi if so.

The main reason LTX went away is because many of us internally just couldn't really handle the crunch / stress / lack expertise to run big events.

I think most of us miss it, but smaller events more often is a little more sustainable. Not entirely a corporate decision. Right decision? We'll see.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

So sorry for neglecting to include Alt text, my hard-of-sight friends. Hey @Bluesky can we get an edit button we don't have to pay for? Could be big.

Least of all, not beholden to maximizing profit.

Blizz could launch an official server that does everything Turtle WoW did and more. It might even be successful. But, successful enough to justify the dev payroll? To keep mgmt, c-suite, shareholders, et. al. at bay? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pest control treated a wasp nest above my apartment today and now I'm hearing buzzing all inside my walls.

This is psychological torture. 😂

The fact Banh Mi is still so inexpensive generally is proof that corporations are lying to you when they say they have to raise prices.

I generally don't miss Pharma ads since moving to Canada, where they're illegal.

But I suppose there are exceptions to every rule.

If Gavin Newsom has no haters, I'm dead.

Circle of Love @lovecircle.bsky.social · Jul 16

Alert BlueSky! There has been a massive troll attack spreading anti-Gavin Newsom propaganda and lies since yesterday. Swarms likely coming from a troll farm somewhere are already spreading information to try to weaken so far, one of the best candidates for 2028. 7-16

In Wrath, when they redid Naxx, they wrote that the person canonically responsible for reviving Kel'thuzad is called "Father Inigo Montoy."

Deeply unserious.
