Edinburgh might be one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen and I’m furious at myself for not visiting sooner

Huzzah, UK nerds! It’s TODAY! My show Shit Arcade opens at Edinburgh Fringe tonight! Shows run from 5-12 & 23-31 at 10:30. Excited to give you folks a very weird, very silly video game-y show.

A monstrous waste of money.

Unfathomable

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

Congratulations to the Haley Stevens campaign on their crackerjack strategy of being super islamaphobic and weirdly antisemitic to Jewish people who disagreed with her policies

Just witnessed my first drunken street brawl in Edinburgh. I have arrived.

If you're at the Edinburgh Fringe, first of all, I'm jealous, and second, go see one of the funniest motherfuckers on the planet's show. @mikedrucker.bsky.social and guests play truly bad video games. You'll thank me later!

Sharks own the beach now. They wear fishbowl breathing masks. Humans have been forced into the water. They wear fishbowl breathing masks. The humans remember centuries ago when they owned the beach and they have returned, hungry.

let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

I think Edinburgh is giving me a sign.

Tech test for Shit Arcade at Edinburgh! Tomorrow at 10:30 pm! Tickets below!

Hit the Museum of Edinburgh first thing and, I gotta say, this country fucking rules

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

going TERF is like the fentanyl of prejudices. you can’t just dabble in it and return to normal life, you gotta double, triple, quadruple down until you’re trying to get a hit on a podcast with isabel brown

Sophie Cunningham is getting booed every time she touches the ball here in Minneapolis

I also believe I’m on the flight in which every single Fringe performer from NYC is headed to Scotland. Imagining the chaos that would result from people busting out their one-man-shows at 30,000 feet

Off to Edinburgh for the first time in my life to perform over a dozen video game shows for good, smart, attractive festival goers. God help us all.

SOON! Edinburgh! Watch bad and weird video games played live with some of the best comedians from around the world! Tickets and details below.

United Kingdom! Next week I'm be bringing my bad video game show Shit Arcade to Edinburgh Fringe! Different games every show, different comedians every show, and I even give a few away to the audience (games, not comedians). 5-12, 23-31 August!

Great thing about this is that without ever having seen it, just from the description I know the Teviot Dining Room is the perfect Fringe venue for it, the atmosphere is going to be absolutely on point

Everyone else points this out in the replies but using the Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue villain is perfect

A strip done in collaboration with the @humanartistry.bsky.social , starring Question Hound as he gets some unwanted help for a comic he’s working on:

AI is constantly trying to auto-fill my email responses to be like, “Thank you for the response! Let’s schedule a meeting. I look forward to our discussion,” when I need the email to say, “Shit, I’m sorry I just saw this! I need to die! I get it if you want me dead. I hope there’s no funeral for me”

I’m going to insist UK people come to my show Shit Arcade in Edinburgh. We switch up comedians every show, we switch up games every show. It’s all a good time. 5-12, 23-31 August (link to tickets below)

I couldn't agree more, @mikedrucker.bsky.social

I'd never even heard of Final Sentence before @mikedrucker.bsky.social wrote about it this week but now I need to play it immediately. A dystopian battle royale game all about writing away on typewriters until someone blows your brains out is such a cool concept. www.thegamer.com/final-senten...

Final Sentence Is Fortnite With Nazis And Typewriters

Where we typin, boys?

starting to worry I might have to make my own decision on whether or not I enjoyed something

kind of a half-baked thought here but it's a shame criticism as a paid professional discipline has been sidelined by social media because it could point the way forward out of the internet madness-induced problem of writing that's crouched in what the author anticipates a comments section will say

“Sooooo… how was the date?” “Spicy. Really spicy.” “Nice! Romantic and sexy?” “No. Not at all.”

As a hapless victim of this criminal I can confidently say that his show is not to be missed. And giveaways! A reason to go North, friends.

I've become a bit of a boring old fart and I haven't played video games for at least 10 years, but I've always enjoyed following Mike on social media and I absolutely love his book. Whether you are a current/retro gamer or just a fan of comedy, do catch this rare opportunity to see Mike in the UK
