Sorry.
There is absolutely nothing in Horses that wouldn’t pass in a slightly, and I do mean slightly, weird seventies film for the most part.

Valve’s “I know it when I see it” approach to it is properly clownshoes and makes them look like a corporate Mary Whitehouse.

Noggin making me furious again by randomly reminding me this is a thing so you can all share my misery: www.vice.com/en/article/w...
Why Is a Game Publisher Trying to Buy Every Video Game Ever Made?
The company that recently bought Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal wants to build an archive in Sweden. We tried to understand why.

at some point i'm going to need some influential public persons to take a morally righteous, clear, unwavering stance in support of human dignity and immigration and refugees.

Oh to have a brain that read “hand drawn art style” and didn’t immediately leap to “as opposed to…?”

That must be so nice for people.

i've had a crediting system like this in my brain for the last year and i desperately need to implement it. something that lets you write some real detailed crediting messages, lets you navigate them by person/discipline/organization, search them, update them remotely w/o pushing a patch, etc
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

If I wanted a computer to be mean to me, I wouldn’t use Grok, I’d just read the text on Braid again.

Genuinely don’t understand people trying to ‘fix’ the game awards. There’s nothing to fix, why are you taking it seriousl.

We could really do with some help buying groceries, since we're pretty much out of food. We lost an entire freezer full recently thanks to the door getting stuck open overnight.
We're running low on easy food and still need to pay that phone bill

I have space for commissions of all types rn, DMs are open for the discounted ones both NSFW and SFW!

I leave the house for two hours and there he is, completely baked, upside down on the sofa, listening to psychedelic rock.

Anyway. No matter what anyone thinks of the game, I hope we can all agree that Braid has the literal worst prose to ever grace a videogame or, indeed, pretty much anything else ever. It is a crime against words writ large and I can never forgive anyone making me read that garbage.
November 22, 2025 at 7:25 PM
Still this, I guess.
Mind you, I think the main problem I always find myself with is that I don’t find libertarians interesting or fascinating, they’re just a bunch of bellends.

This is a silly request. Haus Winters is sick and none of us have the energy to cook. I'm explicitly asking just for money to order some food to take the load off us tonight.
My boyfriend was in hospital yesterday he's that sick, and I'm constantly dizzy. It's unpleasant

[company] announces new AI [something or other] headlines and every single time what lies at the end of the rainbow sounds utterly shit when you read about it but two people will be all in saying yes, it’s shit now but imagine if in the future it wasn’t shit and tbh, I just want a nice nap.
