If you want to be yelled at for something mundane post on Twitter. If you’d like to be yelled at for wanting a better world, post on Facebook. If you’d like to yell into the void, post on Mastadon. If you can’t decide just post on Bluesky and leave it up to fate.

GUY WHO WANTS WRITERS TO STARVE: Hey professionally employed writer, how would you feel about quitting your writing gig that has benefits, taking a massive pay cut, losing those benefits, and training my AI to achieve my goals of making your career obsolete?

Shadow of the Erdtree is fine as a title, but hear me out: Snakes on a Gravesite Plain

Do not lose hope. Scream, yell, demand better, and say these thieves' names. You are being given less so that others can have more, you are having things taken from you by corporations because they must always please the nebulous form of the shareholder. wheresyoured.at/tss/

It is wild that Biden can sleep outside on a bench if he wants but the rest of us can't.

Up today at GameCritics, a thoughtful piece from @theharpomarxist.bsky.social on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, toxic fandoms, nostalgia and expectations. This is why we can't have nice things. tinyurl.com/2p8t9dkc #videogames #dragonage #theveilguard

Well, I’m standing under a neon light and I have been invited to commit to a bit about pep talks by someone I appreciate. Should I backpedal?

One thing I appreciate about Elden Ring is that it allows me to fight like I do in real life (diving to the ground the moment I see my enemy even begin to move, trying to back away while chugging a juice box, etc.)

This is the Left’s fault for being right.

Romcom where one person can only communicate in Fromsoft swamp levels and the other person refuses to “git gud”

How is it only Tuesday?

When a vending machine tells you who it is, believe it.

Wow, somebody needs to inform the various baddies in Shadow of the Erdtree that I am the literal Elden Lord.

Sometimes it just feels like the secret to being a good, attentive partner is as easy as simply having CPTSD.

Ah, the classic "Have you considered the masks we wear do not hide us, but rather reveal who we really are?" defense.

“it took me four years to realize they have been making fun of me the entire time”

Crabs seeing level 1 adventurers killing rats and going "that could be me."

Co-Star says I should play video games today.

My most recent version of the domino meme photo is that I purchased a terrific suit that looked awful on the rack ---> I got cast to replace Michael Imperioli in an indie.

Got dumped and black out drunk-> title, studio, and position I got told I'd never see

What's the biggest example of the domino meme in my life? I'm gonna have to go with "I got bored on the sleepy overnight shift at the data center -> Russia invaded Ukraine".

Struggled to think of something that fit... most of the cause/effect stuff in my life has been pretty straightforward. I think: AOL Chat Room -> owning a champion schipperke.
