Love metal music, video games (and a bit of virtual photography), giant robots, sci-fi and horror.🤘 What else is there?🫠 I try to focus on what I enjoy,😁 but it's inevitable I'll have to talk about the crappy stuff too sometimes. That's life, I guess.😮💨
Oh for f*ck's sake. The wrong people are in charge of this industry. Who would ever want to work in such a toxic anti-worker industry.🤨 And how much of this is also because so many of these companies are in the US which already hates workers.🤔 F*ck Microsoft. F*ck 'em all. #xbox #videogames

When the corporate elite can't make a global industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars profitable, something's wrong.🤔 Thing is, though, it IS profitable. Probably CRAZY profitable, esp. for entities like EA.🤨 But the elite and Jared kushner's of this world gotta buy more yachts. Just gotta.🙄

Finished SOMA on Switch 2.🎮🤤🦈 It's one of my all-time fave games, and it's a pretty solid port, holding up well to the PS4/XBox One versions.👍 It does seem, tho, that the draw distance has been curtailed outdoors, sometimes inexplicably so.🤔. It ... [Cont'd] @abylight.bsky.social #soma #switch2
For some reason, YouTube has filled my feed with videos for Americans on how to deal with dishonest and manipulative cops, such as cops coming to your door and trying to coerce, scare, bully or trick their way inside.😳 1) Why is this in my feed? 2) I'm so glad I have no desire to go to the US.🥴

All these death metal songs about violence, gruesomeness and bodily horrors, and not one song about having a torn rotator cuff.🤨 Sure, I get that being pulled apart by zombies would be pretty bad, but what about the excruciating torture of ... Putting a jacket on, or reaching for the TV remote.😩
I was watching metal interviews on YouTube and stumbled across an interviewer who uses tarot cards as the framing device for questions. And it turns out she is the singer in this band. Self-described as "Middle Eastern doom metal". It's pretty freaking awesome! 🤘🎶 youtu.be/hwaO3DXa3hA #metalsky

@19:20 Rand Paul: "It's censorship that destroys trust." No mate.🙄 It's indulging, appeasing & giving authority to every moron who has "a theory" or an ideological axe to grind, or who refuses to accept the preponderance of scientific evidence & study that destroys trust. (cont'd) #USdystopia

Missing Link Grimlock has arrived! 🤘He's incredible. Very high quality. Looks exactly like how I remember the original 1985 toy. The materials are really nice. What used to be stickers are now molded and painted details. And the added posability is fantastic! #transformers #TakaraTomy

A common story for a black metal fan in 26 steps: 🤔 1) “Cool sounding band, I’ll look them up.”🤘 2) “Oh, 'sketch', you say? Surely not …” 3) “Hmm… that does sound sketch ...”🤔 4) “Maybe they were young and stupid?” 5) “Mid‑twenties? Hmm ...”🤔 (Cont'd) #metalsky #blackmetal

Been playing the Switch 2 edition of SOMA.🎮 It's a huge improvement. Much closer to the Xbox One and PS4 versions. But, there are some bugs. Like this huge blue missing texture on the sea floor near the beginning of the game.🤔 Hopefully you can fix this, @abylight.bsky.social ? #soma #switch2
WTAF. Why does this even exist?😳 Also didn't Wahlberg commit two violent, racially motivated assaults while shouting anti-Asian slurs, which ultimately left one victim unconscious and the other temporarily blinded?🤔 Hmm ... I guess he's "all prayed up", huh? 🙄 What a joke. youtu.be/Pbd3QkQL9Ew

Turned on my Switch 2 and ... the Sony Bravia has forgotten the Switch's HDMI connection AGAIN, 😡 forcing me to configure it like new AGAIN.😮💨 A few days ago, it was my soundbar. Before that, my Xbox. This has been a constant problem with this shitty (but not cheap) TV. Never buying a Bravia again.😮💨
It looks good, I guess.🙄 But I don't watch this and think, "this is Neuromancer!". In the same way that the 70s was integral to the futurism of Alien (which Prometheus forgot), the 80s was integral to the futurism of Neuromancer. But that wouldn't sell, I guess.😮💨 youtu.be/g79GPZSQHBk #neuromancer
