Thinking of @lithera.bsky.social as I just watched the most recent X-men and frankly forgot how much I love Nightcrawler
This project (if that's the term one would use) is bizarrely cool and awesome in a way I can't fully articulate? As someone who grew up in the CRT era and is also a massive Dark Souls 1 fan these Photo Mode pics have a kind of weight I can't quite put my finger on
zoviazzg@zoviazzg.bsky.social · last mo.Dark Souls on CRT continues, towards the Undead Parish. Until using photo mode here I'd never gotten a good look at the Red Drake's face and I love how goofy it is. What a gremlin! For some reason I think it should be chewing on a cigar. #crt #gaming #darksouls
I have officially been online too long because for a sec I was like "what the hell?" And then my brain scrambled and I immediately parsed all of it like "oh. ...OH."

For no reason this just made me think of a way to describe someone specific I know as "Sephiroth if he put on the mask from The Mask" which is both the perfect way to describe him and yes, exactly as fucking irritating as it sounds
Dan O’Sullivan@osullyville.bsky.social · 2w agoAn eternal question, which will be relevant for all of eternity, so long as people post online: Why. Are. You. Talking. like. Sephiroth
Some brilliant thoughts here: "Resentment is the mind seeking revenge for the experience of jealousy. “You think you’re better than me.” It’s the inevitable outcome of classed society. Any time it presents itself, it’s an occasion to consider how our particular civic project is chugging along."
JP@jpbrammer.bsky.social · 3w agoI wrote about "performative reading," resentment, and how tech CEOs managed to make us so incurious, to their great benefit johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/on-perform...

Not to ruin a good joke by explaining it, but Souls games are essentially suicidal and nihilistic in nature, a meditation on death and testing your acceptance of its meaninglessness, and having one weird li'l guy who's like "fuck all this and also I love you brother" is a balm in the desert
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 4w agoThere is one NPC in every Soulsborne game that is beloved by the entire playerbase and it’s the “guy who is enthusiastic to be there”
God: I'm testing you. You: When does the test end? God: Never. But there will be brief moments of respite when you mistake less than utterly disastrous results for progress. Take comfort in them.
Why I gotta be attacked like this. (I was 100% a kid who borrowed and read Doonesbury collections from the library when I was 10 and I still quote from them often.)

I love when doctors say "avoid stress" like I can just unsubscribe from economy and become a decorative gargoyle
abolish the police system and replace it with hard-boiled private dicks and medieval city guard
the problem is we here at gen x have the highest separation between the coolest members and the uncoolest members of any generation
I would start with "Men in the Off Hours", it's my favorite book of Carson's and I go back to it often.
@ncweave.bsky.social · 4mo agoI just looked her up. I want more. Do you have a suggestion about what to start with?
Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve, but both are taking a fucking toll on my back.
I have no illusions about what time and gravity have done to my face. Fuck you, Einstein.

The Economist@economist.com · 2mo agoGen-Z socialism is wrong about how to fix the problems of capitalism. It must be resisted, because it is a profound threat to prosperity
