I made ridiculously delicious chicken salad today, so happy with how it came out.

Thread is excellent as usual from Casey - I would also like to add to extremely NOT read the Steam forums for Absolum. The manchildren are absolutely dominating that place.

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

I want nothing but the best for this man. Mamdani gives me hope that maybe this daily insanity and widespread hatred might end someday soon.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Already 1CC'd Normal, got halfway into Hard and I can tell you genuinely this is likely one of my top 10 shmups of all time, unironically. It's so fun.

Play Gravity Circuit. :)

An edit of the "five dollar foot long" Spongebob meme, in which Spongebob says "sandwiches at a cheap price?" and Patrick says "satisfactory". The meme is edited to instead be about Gravity Circuit, which is currently free on the Epic Games store until October 16th, 2025.

This is super disappointing, because his little quippy soundbites going viral really paint a picture of someone deserving of support. If he's willing to accept pressure and grow from being burned by this, that's potentially a campaign that could be salvaged.

Texas political candidate is allegedly lying on his resume

His latest campaign video was flooded with criticism.

There is too much at stake to not vet candidates that are ostensibly promoting populist or socialist talking points. Texas candidate Isaiah Martin is a naive and disingenuous Israel supporter. Says nothing about the genocide. Allegedly also lies on his resume. Vet your "heroes", people.

The only other character I really want in 2XKO is Samira. Since she has a style meter in League, she could be the UMVC3 Dante function. I'd kill for that. She's my favorite League character by a mile, too.. Haha.

It's gonna be a rough pick for me between Absolum and Birdcage for GOTY2025.

arcadia @neonarcadia.bsky.social · 2d

I *fucking love* Absolum. Geez. It's so good.

Dragonmaid is a lot of fun, but for waifu decks I always really liked the Sky Striker archetype. I also put together a B.E.S. Boss Rush (the Gradius/SHMUP deck) in Master Duel and it was unbelievably fun, and horribly inconsistent lmao. Fun as hell when it worked though!

Absolum in 6 hours~ yay~

arcadia @neonarcadia.bsky.social · 3d

Despite my pricing complaints with the game, I'm having a great time with Vi and Warwick in 2XKO. It's a really fun time, and I feel like it's the only time I've ever liked the implementation of simple inputs in a fighting game.

Like, why the hell aren't chromas 1 dollar, instead of 7? Skins could just be 10 bucks. Sure, work goes into them, but.. I dunno. It just sucks, because I LIKE having alt skins, but honestly, I'm broke as hell. There's no way I can afford that shit.

arcadia @neonarcadia.bsky.social · 4d

on the real though, i really don't understand this pricing structure because making things unbelievably expensive when your player base is that large doesn't ensure that your sales numbers are going to be higher. if it's affordable, don't you think more people would buy it?

arcadia @neonarcadia.bsky.social · 4d

oh no 2XKO is expensive?? from the same group of people who sell character skins for hundreds of dollars?? i'm so surprised......................
