this shit is so embarrassing. the government used to have guys who like, built bridges. now it’s just a gaggle of bleary-eyed cave children jacking themselves off to porno deepfakes of AOC while posting “based meme edits” of reaper drone strikes on venezuelan children. quit gooning and fix a pothole

vance has got to be the most cucked vp of all time. absolutely no power, completely subservient to a sundowning blowhard and an unelected nazi sleaze, so bored of waiting around for grandpa to give him something to do that he’s organizing forum raids like goons dropping in on habbo hotel

This stunning use of passive voice on "games eventually stop running" by a guy famous in preservation circles for making absolutely certain games are not allowed to run.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Second "No Kings Day" protests likely the largest single-day political demonstration since 1970, with 4.2-7.6 million participants

tv shows especially, have become extremely bad for this with many of them never receiving any sort of home release and it's one of the reasons I'm not really connected to that whole facet of culture anymore? we've got lost film/tv media made as recently as like 2019 lol

it's funny because if he said this like 15 years ago it would've been still wrong but the sentiment more graspable but it's like Extremely Wrong in the current age where lots of movies are released exclusively on streaming services lol

I was gonna remake the "delayed game good eventually, rushed game bad now" image with this quote instead, but in the process of looking up that older quote, I found it most likely actually originated from an industry veteran who's since transitioned. another W for trans women 🏳️‍⚧️

If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.

Bernie:

When the founders stood up to King George, they were told it was impossible, but THEY WON.

When abolishonists fought to end slavery, they were told it was impossible, but THEY WON.

When workers organized unions and stood up to their bosses, they were told it was impossible, but THEY WON.

Cry of Fear limits every player's inventory to 6 slots (and would probably lower it more if they could, the way they did for the single player campaign), so it sort of enforces everyone into a pack-mule mentality in co-op.
(Not that it matters a lot since party wiping loses all our inventories.)

I'm not great at first person shooters in my own opinion, especially when they require mouse and keyboard. I tend to need aim assist options and controller support (or, somewhat more ideally in my experience: Wiimote-like aiming support).
So it's been pretty hilarious to go through this for me.

Played Cry of Fear's multiplayer with @kuoushi.bsky.social and IronChitlin yesterday, and will be playing more in a few minutes.
Kuou's been streaming the game's single player campaign for the past week (got one of the 4-5-ish endings), and it's been ridic to watch. It's also ridic to play.

kuoushi - Twitch

Kuoushi's stream is about a guy who's not so good at video games. Just a guy playing games, that's about it. Sounds normal I guess? Chat here or on our Discord server. Stream archive (with 10+ years...

I thought the Xbox handheld was barely in its conceptual phase but I guess the geniuses in the decision making department of the "we help genocidal maniacs obstruct peace and justice" company need to remain consistent in the tradition of making bad decisions.

Playing Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025 is fascinating, actually. You're just a kid and the world's gone mad. All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst. Everyone talks like a crazy person. Everything's too expensive. Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator.
