The level of destruction and erasure in the Gaza Strip is simply incredible. North Gaza, before and after:

We pronounce it "LOO-uh-vul"

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Okay now how the fuck do locals pronounce that

That's so interesting! Because that little 5 note riff is very burned in my mind. Maybe I'm the weirdo.

Charlotte, the killer, stabbing her 27th girl with big titties: "This is starting to feel a bit exploitative"

Granted, I'm sure a lot of people don't recognize that musical bit. But you'd think enough people know it well enough that we could just immediately go "yes, this is Pikmin, I know you can't see them but they do straight up play the Pikmin theme, this is not Mario Galaxy related"

Derek Van Died 🪦 @derekvandyke.bsky.social · 16h

Okay look you can't ALL be the girl with big titties, some of you are gonna have to draw straws

I'm shocked there was ever any widespread question as to what that Nintendo short was. They play the Pikmin theme as a leitmotif multiple times in only a few minutes.

This was a warning somehow

Derek Van Died 🪦 @derekvandyke.bsky.social · 17h

This is heading in a dark direction

I do not have more information to elaborate with

This feels like it happened a decade ago now but it's probably like 2 years max

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Honestly Nintendo has now sold me on a thing that I didn't know I want and they didn't even fully suggest: I need a Pikmin movie set alongside modern-day humans that pulls clear inspiration from Mary Norton's The Borrowers.

I let FOMO push me into Ghost of Tsushima but I know better this time. It's nothing against the quality or craftsmanship of the game, but like you I am just completely uninterested in the big open world do X things per province Ubisoft style map.
