Been turning ‘Talericoed’ into a past tense verb in normal conversation for awhile, and it should be pretty self-explanatory, but to make a definition:

talerico
(verb)

1. To falsely insert yourself into an event for mythmaking.

| he talericos that he was MVP of his High School football team.

my least favorite thing on the entire internet is being stuck in a youtube shorts hole, seeing an interesting TV show I've never seen an ad for bc it got buried on streaming and having to hunt for the name of the show in the comments where 50% of people are talking as if this is a real situation.

thats what im saying. in this situation the bar to clear has become 'is he a nazi' and not 'would he be any good at this?'

just sucks ass everywhere.. we have to 'accept' the former reddit shitlord to offset paul fucking finebaum because we only elect memes now not real people

seeing 7 posts in a row about this but never getting an answer on what it all is.. not a good way to wake up in the morning

I have no idea who the Nazi Tattoo Chest Man is. Every scroll in this app reveals to me some sort of Blurry Seth Rogen figure all over again. Please don't tell me who he is. Just tell me if I need to go look up for myself who he is

If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Please signal boost.

julie no*

*= or at least no until people get better about not shitting on people who cant finish games.. if my opinion is not allowed to be 'this shit is too brutal and it broke me' then id rather that friction be smoothed out until people are chill.

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!

I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

at this stage getting a thumbs up from hasbro is like getting political support from Palmer Lucky

Jean-Karlo @ventcard.bsky.social · 3d

They cared so little for the project that they used AI to create yet another MMPR retread.

Therefore, I cannot be bothered to care about this project, however much validation Hasbro gives it.

Some people asked me if there was a way to donate to me directly. While I am extremely uncomfortable about this, a lot of close friends convinced me I should set something up, so I set up a ko-fi for those that expressed this. Please do not feel obligated. ko-fi.com/ashuraou

" This entire review is comprised of notes I took while asking my mother to operate the system because I can’t reach or press most of the buttons. And that’s all because of the inaccessible layout."

absolutely stunning to me the levels of 'we didnt think about physical disabilities' going on here

Grant Stoner @supercrip1994.bsky.social · 6d

The ROG Xbox Ally X has moments of accessibility brilliance. Yet, for physically disabled players, its overall layout and price create insurmountable inaccessible barriers. Read my review on Access Granted here:

ROG Xbox Ally X Review

Despite moments of accessibility brilliance, the ROG Xbox Ally X's overall design and price point pose too many inaccessible barriers.

ive always thought that Fantasy is ideal if aimed at kids/YA and real world situations are aimed at adults.. obviously it doesnt HAVE to be that way.. but i think it says something that the last 20 years of YA werent a grown up junie b jones, but rather 11 different fantasy worlds all with lore
