If you know me from any of the previous platforms and spaces I've used this handle on (it's an oooold handle now), you know me.

Don't know me? Continue to be perplexed.

I'm sure compared to Silksong this game will be wonderfully relaxing

completely shallow update to say I'm so glad to work as a lawyer where wearing a Babymetal band t-shirt with Issey Miyake Pleats skirt and vintage Prada platform sandals is perfectly acceptable office wear

I'd like to think this adorable fanart of my black dog as a Flea with Hornet by the ever fantastic @wrat.bsky.social was my good luck charm today to finally defeat the final boss of #silksong ❤️🐕‍🦺🧵🪡 💪🏼

I wanted 100% completion first time no matter how long it took bc I refuse to go back to Pharloom until the trauma has faded from memory #silksong

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Pro tip: the big enemy standing in water that looks like a lightning rod has a very, very useful picto thats worth fighting for as soon as you're able

After - the later tracks have spoilers (although lyrics mostly in French, some spoilers in titles)

Leareth @leareth.bsky.social · 6d

but of course 💿

Leareth @leareth.bsky.social · 7d

every time I think "ugh, that platforming section was frustratingly hard surely it can't get worse"... #silksong proves me wrong, ugh the climb to the very very top 💀

...I suppose at least I didn't have to do it on a freeze timer (UGH MT KAY) or with rising lava (UGH ABYSS ESCAPE), small mercies

Leareth @leareth.bsky.social · 7d

FWIW, I started out very bad at parrying but after a while you pick up the tells (listen for the whistle, watch for the split second pause) - you'll improve rapidly :D

Within moments of opening OpenAI’s new AI slop app Sora, I am watching Pikachu steal Poké Balls from a CVS. Then I am watching SpongeBob-as-Hitler give a speech about the “scourge of fish ruining Bikini Bottom.”

OpenAI’s Sora 2 Copyright Infringement Machine Features Nazi SpongeBobs and Criminal Pikachus

The main use of Sora appears to generate brainrot of major beloved copyrighted characters, to say nothing of the millions of articles, images, and videos OpenAI has scraped.

....I finally did it, and I never, ever want to have to do the Abyss escape platformer section again 💀🔥🌋🪡

Leareth @leareth.bsky.social · 12d

*starts Act 3, encounters first enemies*

....ok, this is a jump up in difficulty from everything before--

*encounters first boss fight in Act 3*

💀💀💀

Leareth @leareth.bsky.social · 13d

final main story boss was easier than The Radiance but I need to unlock Act 3 - so glad there's a way to get a map of remaining flea locations!

For those who came before #expedition33

Fan art of expedition 33. Maelle is in the forefront with her rapier, while the ghosts of the previous expeditions fight alongside her.
