while rebuilding my PC, turns out I still have that video of the phone game with the greatest character lines you've ever heard saved reposting this banger here so people don't think im having a stroke when i quote it

kid working the putt-putt had to be half my age and said, with zero irony upon seeing my shirt, "woah, that's awesome! the worst part of Disney buying The Simpsons was that Homer isn't allowed to strangle Bart any more."

I hate that we have let the nastiest racists on earth define and redefine our language. From "woke" to "DEI." Trump's policies are not anti-DEI. They are racist. US firms did not abandon DEI policies. They fired competent black women in droves on the basis of race and sex.

DEI means recruiting the best candidates and appealing to the widest possible customer base - which results show is good for people, and for business www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

guardian newspaper report friday august 14th saying
US firms that kept DEI policies despite ‘go woke, go broke’ threats thrived
Exclusive: Companies that kept policies did just as well financially, even after Trump’s executive order, as those that didn’t

I remember I had to leave a Xbox Homebrew Discord because not only using AI to translate code to another language was encouraged, people were just, okay with using AI recomps for ports. So to see that people are still doing things the right way is great to see

Today marks the 17-year anniversary of Askiisoft’s ‘Tower of Heaven’. It was the first game project I ever worked on, and my introduction to the world of indie games. 🧵

Ozamu Tezuka has these little editorial sections at the beginning of each Astro Boy story and its really fascinating to see his perspective about how sensitive overseas executives were about on-screen depictions of violence despite their countries committing some of the worst atrocities in the world

This video legit rules. Guy bought himself a duplicator and 6000 blank discs off the open market and said, "Fuck you, I decide when physical discs goes extinct and it ain't now." I'm telling ya, guys, we gotta crack the code on burning PS2+ discs that'll work on any console and make games ours. 😌

Please boost if you can. I’ve been trying to get out of this building severely disabling me for like 8 months now and now I may lose it along with everything I’ve accumulated to even make money and continue further in my life.

Please help, I’m unable to even have access to housing I can’t even live in much longer. This place has been so dangerous to even sleep in. I am so grateful if you boost this. gofund.me/d2c705e9d

Took this post hitting my TL for me to finally find the context of all of the bluesky metrics doomposting I’ve seen, and I think we all need to collectively remember that any Mark Zuckerberg loves juicing the numbers on metrics to affect how people use his platforms (remember “pivot to video”?)

So I guess either Bluesky becomes a nonprofit or we all start sharing our Threads handles on here…?
