They should make a Like A Dragon spinoff that's just the hostess club minigame, but instead of playing as yakuza members it's Sonic characters, instead of hostesses you have Chao, and instead of serving drinks to creepy men they play and eat fruit in a peaceful garden

video games are all about meeting a little elf
outside the city gates that says 'ah... the pernicious
weed!' when you give him a healing herb and then
finding yourself fifteen years later saying "ah... the
pernicious weed!" to yourself in the shower

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

when I was defending itch I heard from a lot of - frankly to my shock - other queers who were like "it's a platform, platforms are the enemy" and until we're able to distinguish _as users_ the ways in which worker owned services aren't your enemy and deserve grace, we won't be seeing very many

We should have required alt text for posts that don't have images but DO have vague, extremely dramatic posts about an ongoing sporting event. when you post "its over its all over" i need to be able to click a little button and see that you're talking about a quarterback named Mac Whimple

The way I remember it, an average day on early Cohost consisted of scrolling eight times past the full length of the same 6000-word essay, and every other post was in some way about Being On Cohost, the first social media site not run by evil dunces

FrediSKULL @fredison.bsky.social · 6d

I understand why people are nostalgic for Cohost. It was one of the very few social media sites that sort of took off and wasn't run by evil dunces, but to be honest I remember my actual experience there being kind of underwhelming?

I'm expecting them to hit me with "Hey, did you know EA got acquired by Saudi Arabia? That's crazy!" at some point in the coming days

FrediSKULL @fredison.bsky.social · 6d

I have a friend who's off social media entirely, and good for them, but I'm starting to run out of polite ways to say "Oh yeah I retweeted that one three days ago" whenever they DM me a news article
