Big Walk does some INCREDIBLE stuff! Not that anything is does is GROUND BREAKING! But after years of what we've come to know as "FRIENDSLOP," It takes those familiar mechanics and fine tunes them so you know it's made with passion and not for a quick weekend buck
Played Big Walk for 3 hours tonight and I must confirm it has the sauce. Such a goofy fun time. @househouse.com has made something that is pure joy. Shout out to @cgdannyb.bsky.social and @derekvandyke.bsky.social who had me giggling like a little kid the entire time. Cannot wait to play more.
I have intentionally paid little attention to the new Fire Emblem past the initial reveal trailer, because I know I'm there day one no matter what But I'm guessing that if I had been paying attention, the nun with the blicky wouldn't suddenly be making any more sense, huh
Taking the subject of the Saudi royal family out of it (which you shouldn't)... the fact that you can go into debt to buy a company but then make the company you bought take on all the debt incurred to make the purchase is maddening to me.
EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

Big Walk is an EXCEPTIONALLY good time. Friendslop Final Form, in the best way. Played with @djstormageddon.com and @cgdannyb.bsky.social and it had us giggling the entire time.
Then you finally decide to be nice and turn the adblocker off and the site reconfigures into an unrecognizable shape, blasting 18 out-of-sync advertisements at you covering 60% of all available screen real estate
"it looks like you're using an adblocker to visit our site." yep! ha ha! it rocks!
See what I mean? Cape Fatigue isn't real, it's just that people want the shit they actually want. Brand New Day's insane success on the first weekend is purely because people wanted Spider-Man. It seems like people love it, but THIS doesn't happen without people desperately wanting to see it already
The average person has been tuned out of the MCU because BOTH the movies have been mid and people's connection to the OGs did not carry forward to newer characters. Spider-Man is going to do gangbusters. Doomsday and Secret Wars are going to be massive.
Back home after spending a few days on vacay in Kansas City. Cool place. Cool people. Stayed the perfect amount of time to do several cool things and then get home to my babies before the "missing my babies" got too bad. I passed an unusual number of vehicles on fire on the way back (unrelated).
"Videogames are so expensive these days" Incorrect, Slay the Princess is one of the best videogames and it is very cheap, you just make bad purchasing decisions

For some reason, I have been thinking a lot today about the time @nolanerdcast.bsky.social texted me out of the blue to tell me he found a Shoney's. I'm pretty sure neither of us had thought or talked about Shoney's in over a decade. But he found one and knew I needed to know. And he was right.

I’m grateful that people know “if I really had assaulted her, why would she still cook me dinner” is an insane misunderstanding of domestic violence that it’s practically an admission of guilt, and I’m glad people are calling it out! But I really don’t want to see an abuser’s smug lying video either
Please don’t share that autoplaying video of Max Miller insisting his wife is lying about his domestic violence. Share articles and links, but the autoplaying video is so triggering for survivors and it’s all over my feed right now.
This museum has, unquestionably, the nicest restroom I've ever been in But They also use that quarter-ply see-through toilet paper Kimberly Clark when we fucking get you

Hanging with homies irl is really good for you it turns out? Big if true
Batman the animated series made me believe in a formative manner that there’d be a whole Fucking lot more goddamn blimps in my life. But there’s almost no blimps. Every time I see a blimp, I gasp. I shouldn’t have to gasp. Blimp should be around for my life. Where blimp
It's incredible how Newsom can be so horrifically on the wrong side of every single headline that comes up and yet a certain brand of liberal will still back him because he performatively trolls Trump once in a blue moon
Don’t look now, but Gavin Newsom is siding with the tech billionaires again. The 2028 audition continues… www.wsj.com/business/med...
