thirteen. thirteen different numbers sending me election texts today

wonder if we'll start seeing devs pull their games off of epic in protest of tim sweeney's bullshit. not like they'd be losing any sales

half an hour into the new feature length GMTK video about the history of every video game genre and he's already namedropped both xevious and heiankyo alien. jeremy parish would be proud. just waiting for tower of druaga now

patrick stewart??? nooooooooooooo

i'm mainly distracted from feeling bad when working on my creative projects. but then also working too much makes me feel bad

make that 20

i’ve gotten election texts from 16 different numbers in the last week

soul of sovereignty is 30% off for the halloween sale. that's right, only 6.99 usd for a veritable feast of "women's wrongs" and "rebellion against the church state" and "cute alligator." it's a deal so good there's only one way to describe it gigidigi.itch.io/soulsov

perhaps the strangest proposal i've ever gotten from a con artist via my professional email

the uncledoomer twitter account that started the debate that's spread to bluesky over whether or not people disliked the star wars prequels at the time (they famously did) just seems to make endless posts about "chungus millennials" and "chungus gen Xers" making people hate the prequels

watching only the most essential horror classics this halloween season

i like that they pronounce ralsei's name three different ways in the nurse ralsei plush commercial. every pronunciation is canon

only 3 eps in but i'm REALLY digging edgerunners 2. really into the new cast and the different angles on life in this setting that their intersecting stories afford. it's also super visually inventive, whether it's the camcorder footage, D's stylized dreams, everything with capri, etc.

sorry for being reductive but seeing people basically go "what the fuck i thought my chat messages in publicly joinable discord servers with 100,000 members were PRIVATE" is really funny

made a playlist of all my castlevania music and hit shuffle and it started on NES vampire killer

poking around with bloodstained's randomizer a little bit now. i got the dantalion familiar (the cursed book) super early. i never used it in my regular run, so i never knew that every time you save it says "another page in your story... writteeennnnnnnn" in an old man voice. awesome

i only just noticed nathan fielder is out of focus in the background of the you can see everything poster. i was so distracted by elizabeth holmes's petrifying gaze

finished replaying bloodstained last night, so i used that as a springboard to talk a bit about what makes the igavanias special to me on backloggd backloggd.com/u/ponett/rev...

ponett's review of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night | Backloggd

So glad to finally play through the PC version, rather than letting the jank Switch version that I got from the Kickstarter be my only experience with the game. Though I do think it speaks to how hard...

it is funny to watch cyberpunk edgerunners after having read neuromancer a few months ago. like half of that show is taken from that book, either directly or indirectly through its influence on the rest of the genre. they do go in a different direction by focusing on cyberpsychosis, but still

let's go brazil

(feels depressed in any season) must be seasonal depression

bad brain day

i haven't watched the show yet but god the discourse surrounding bunlith is depressing. peoples' tendency to hate watch indie cartoons and nitpick them to death and talk like shareholders about it mixed with the eagerness to tear down anything made by a trans woman. we can't have anything

i finally got the crissaegrim equivalent in bloodstained so i am now unstoppable. i'm not sure i even got it on my original switch playthrough lol. they really make you work for it, though i suppose having to go out of your way to craft it is better than it being an insanely rare drop

watched carrie (1976) and right as the credits rolled and i was pondering the haunting final act prime video asked me if i would like to follow it up by watching napoleon dynamite

filled out my ballot for the general election. if we get angie nixon in as a DSA member senator and randy fine out as my rep that'll do so much for my mental health

you like a thing that's old? that's just nostalgia. can't get with the times. stick in the mud chud. you like a thing that's new? recency bias. bandwagoning. consoomer easily distracted by jangling keys. the solution is to not like anything

giancarlo esposito is in the english dub of edgerunners???? how did i never know this

i like the new robot master. silly guy. that's not his name his name is tank man but he's a silly guy

yaaaay profile links! nice to have an actually good update on here for once
