Rando, a Nerd

I do QA work on games but I do not represent my employers. "Rando the Token Straight Friend" - @xzyliac.bsky.social, 2019 🇨🇦

So like Trump is just going to try and annex us before his term is up right Like it does not feel as though attempted military occupation of Canada is an unthinkable scenario anymore Unlikely, but no longer impossible

I'm going to try to be polite when I say this, since I'm Canadian. Don't. Just don't. If you come up here just so we'll pat you on the head and make sure you know you're One Of The Good Ones, you're being a PITA. We *already* know this, you just want to feel better about being embarrassed.

A post from a user who joined Nov '24 (it never fails) that reads "Let's all take a vacation in Canada. We can show them that not all Americans are deceitful, cruel, corrupt assholes."

there are no 'correct' grounds for being a socialist to people with a vested interest in defending the capitalist order. if you're poor, you're lazy. if you're middle class, you're envious. if you're wealthy, you're hypocritical. it's all a goalpost-moving shell game.

the thing about "champagne socialists" is that a lot of us know we were extraordinarily lucky due to the circumstances of our birth and want better lives for everyone as a result, I do not understand how this is supposed to be a gotcha

PSA: A heads up for those (kindly) supporting us with game purchases today: 1. Kiln and Keeper are getting permanent price changes soon! 2. All our games on Steam are getting international price adjustment reviews! 3. It's Psychonauts 2's birthday next week, which means a sale!
