y'know, I don't know if the way you feel the DKCR's ending now is the same as when you made the video on it years ago...

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life
Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

This is the most exciting time for 3D platformers if you are willing to let yourself try a game that isn’t attached to a AAA company for once, there’s just an endless amount of cool and unique games coming out rn. The Big Catch will be the best game ever made I need it so bad
I fortunately haven't seen any "3D platformers are dying / dead" claims lately, but just in case that claim's still lingering, here's a list of *some* of the 3D platformers that are (as far as I'm aware) currently slated to release in 2026.
Or already have, in the case of Big Hops.

I've reached my lifetime quota for "interesting times." Give me bland times. Boring times. Normie times, one could even say. Times that are both dull and unexciting. Load me up with times that feel stale and uninspiring. That's the good stuff right there.

I don’t understand how anyone can play Knuckles’ Chaotix before marriage. That’s something you should only do with someone you know you can spend the rest of your life with, not just anyone

An official Japanese 1988 guide for Super Mario Bros. 3 contains a small drawing of a Thwomp on the cover that, instead of the usual grimace, has a mischievous, cat-like expression. I have created a high-quality recreation of this Thwomp.

i dont wanna be mean but we are nowhere near "woke". very little in the 2010s was truly genuinely progressive in a liberatory way. it's all aspiration and that's good but you need to be clear eyed about what you want to build

things will get better but people genuinely underestimate the amount of casual fascism even progressives are accepting and internalizing in the present. tbh. that is to say of course things will oscillate

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
