May (or may not) start posting here semi-regularly. Have a picture of my cat.

"If AI becomes prevalent that will stop bad art from being made."

Fuck you, the world needs more sincere, unhinged bad art. AI wishes it could make anything remotely as powerful and human as Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

Reze Arc was unsurprisingly very good. The movie scene reminds me of how different art can move different people, and that's part of what makes art beautiful.

Stoked that Air Riders added chem trails to the game.

Was at a family member's birthday party last week, and my uncle said he met his fiance a few years ago after he asked if she wanted to bag corn.

Which might the most mid-western way of asking a woman out on a date.

You say this as if Breaking Bad with Stand Battles wouldn't be a literary masterpiece.

LOL I have nothing against someone who delves into rabbit holes or uses conspiracies as a thought experiment (within reason). But there's always been an underlying antisemitism to many of them. Conspiracies were never exclusively a 'hippy' thing.

Braid is a lot less impressive when its competition is anything besides middling XBLA titles. It's almost comical how much Celeste and any competent indie platformer from the last 10 years kicks the absolute shit out it in terms of writing and overall quality.

Me and the one other person I know who's into old, jank-ass survival horror, hearing people say Silent Hill f's combat sucks, knowing we're in for a good time.

I particularly liked the moment where the empathetic-less, militant asshole who wanted to 'purge the weak' was unexpectedly sniped in an assassination attempt the day before 9/11.

Finished with Metaphor Refantazio. A very good game. It's not my favorite RPG or fantasy story ever, but it might be the one that best encapsulates what I like about fantasy.

If you make something for everyone, you have made something for no one. Even the broadest reaching media does not appeal to literally everyone. Animal Crossing sold more units than most nations have people. I respect it and love that so many people enjoy it, but it isn't my thing. And that's fine.

Cannot wait for the new Fire Emblem to lead to more 3 Houses discourse.

Oh shit, Sothis?

Amazing. The new Fire Emblem has Castlevania's Alucard in it.

I see this reducing in reposts - this situation never went away. You may have seen a lot of people posting about it and some inroads made and thought " yeah things will turn out alright" Unfortunately no. we actually do have to keep holding their feet to the fire until they deliver.

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

I always subconsciously thought this way, but this is the best summary of why I make 9/11 jokes.

The event is a horrible tragedy, but 9/11 as a 'brand' the U.S government has used to start never ending wars, take away human rights, and make the world worse is that much more tragic.

Cohen is a Ghost @skullmandible.bsky.social · Sep 11

I've tried to explain to canadians why americans make 9/11 jokes and the answer I came up with is we were never allowed to have any kind of real feeling about it. It was IMMEDIATELY packaged into a Megamoment that we must Always Remember while being used to take away out rights and start wars

Me calling VISA for the 3rd time this week in an angry but dignified matter, but this time I've added a random excerpt to my script demanding they let me put on cat ear accessories.

This sort of thing is really starting to piss me off.

Now, men reading is suspicious? Fuck off.

As if dating isn't already absolutely impossible.

Handheld gaming is the exception to all of this, the Nintendo DS is peak.

Mothman Lousyton @hershellousyton.bsky.social · Aug 18

Modern gaming sure AF isn't perfect. But most of the annoyances I have today started in the 7th gen.

Even as the AAA games industry is currently burning itself to the ground, Indies alone still make me prefer it to the 7th gen.
