I broke a 100 followers so maybe it's time to introduce myself!

All these comments are games I had high hopes for and bounced off of in like the first 30 minutes.
The worst game I finished is probably one of the Far Cry's. All of them are some variant of bad and I've finished every single one of them.

Same for the CoD's tbh

I'd just spend the whole amount on giant vats of garlic butter, cut out the middle man

I forgot to reconnect the nodes that check if you're currently holding a piston, so now you can drop pistons infinitely :P

Also if you don't have a blimp mooring tower they'll just ineffectually float around trying to moor on your chimney or something

I have an idea

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand

I'll go first: Six page commercial lease.

Things I do not let my kids play with:

- YouTube
- Roblox
- GenAI
- Fire
- Guns

I spoke to parents who are letting their young kids play with generative AI and tried to sort through some of the questions they have about it.

"I don’t know what this is doing to their brains," one dad told me.

Meanwhile, Sam Altman says, "Kids love ChatGPT on voicemode."

Cancelled a while ago because fuck M$, and am having zero regrets so far

Jamie And Lion (aka, SpacedOutSmiles) @jamieandlion.bsky.social · 13d

Same. I’ve cancelled my game pass as it’s no longer good value.

Anomalina @anomalina.bsky.social · 13d

It's been increasingly difficult to be an Xbox person this last year. It's embarrassing. And now, the main reason I was there is pricing me out of the market.

I'm sorry but that £22 can go towards Dropout, Critical Role and the Patreon/Ko-fi of creators I want to support.

I won't be resubbing.
