Thursday is weekend eve. What, you’re taking Thursday? So should we expect you to miss Friday too there Captain Long Weekend?

Wednesday? Right in the slot. Mid week. Hump day. It isn’t immediately before or after a weekend, and doesn’t carry the smell of weekends like Tuesday and Thursday.

Wednesday (or “your Wednesday”) is the scientifically perfect sick day for the anxious mind.

Monday? Dawg. You just want a longer weekend. Ditto for Friday. Those days are bad for anxious sick days.

Tuesday? Monday’s hangover. You could handle Monday but not Tuesday!? Come on now. We see you.

How bad I feel about taking a sick day, even if I’m half dead, will always be directly related to how close the weekend is or was 🤣😬

This said, I DO think it’s important to take ethical stands against things that go too far, and that’s often a very personal and subjective metric.

Just, you don’t have to dance around liking a new game or whatever.

Corporations being evil should just be assumed when reading someone’s praise of their products.

The race to make infinite money will always be super gross, even when it’s a company that makes things you enjoy.

*when someone online is about to say a positive thing about Nintendo*

“Before I say this, I want everyone to know they are evil, I don’t condone their prices, Game Key Cards suck, the lawsuits are bad & the last Direct sucked..

I enjoyed Mario Galaxy tho…please forgive me 🥺”

Oh man! I started watching a few years ago, thinking I’d watch an episode or two a week…

Naaaahhh I polished that series off in a couple weeks. Soooo good!

Laying around after the first day of travelling back home and I am feeling gross.
Last time I was feeling gross on the way back home I ended up with the rona and was super sick for 2 weeks.

I hope this is not that, but the anxiety is reeeaaaalll

I'm not going to dunk-quote but I do have to note that "you only hate LLMs because you're too stupid to appreciate how awesome it is" is the exact argument we heard on loop from people whose ugly monkey jpegs are now worth approximately two-fifths of a fart

I would watch the hell out of this film.

With his adorable little Roboberet and thin, painted on robomoustache.

How much I love this character that will never exist is going to be problematic.

Yes! It and Mario Odyssey would probably share that title for me… But Bananza was so damn good

Nick @anactualgorilla.ca · 5d

Unhinged advertising 🤣

I saw this screenshot of Parasite Eve on the Zuckersite and it healed me, so I am sharing it here

World leaders really shouldn’t be tactless idiots.

It would feel like such a luxury to just have foundational disagreements again. Not be like… terrified of the dangerously incompetent stupid idiots.

The tactless idiot will brag to his tactless idiot followers about literally anything.

It would be astounding if it wasn’t so numbingly depressing. This guy is a world leader. Elected by tens of millions of actual people.

Wild and sad and terrible.

Balls bouncing around with special powers. Rogue-lite balls. A very violent Arkanoid.

Nick @anactualgorilla.ca · 6d

Yeah, it’s really not a high performance game. Lots going on that would look smoother, but I don’t think it would be unplayable at 30FPS at all

Nick @anactualgorilla.ca · 6d

Yes I sure the heck am. Demo was fantastic

Nick @anactualgorilla.ca · 6d

Yes.

I’ve always thought this would be such a cool aristocrats commander that could get seriously out of hand.

Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

This console generation will be remembered for Concord and Concord-likes. An obsession with live services that only the suits wanted, cursed with multiple billions of dollars lost, damaged brand equity, and thousands of jobs needlessly squandered.

It’s been the worst of my lifetime by a mile.

The PS6, debuting just in time for the 2027 holiday season, retails at six different SKUs (starting at $1299 USD for the “lite” model), featuring a library of PS5 games to play while awaiting the first exclusive title for the console (currently $2.8bil over budget and tentatively targeting 2031)

Next Fest has to be my favourite Steam event. Demos are such a great way to take a chance on a game you’d otherwise skip or weren’t sure about.

I have discovered so many fun indies this way.
