We're about halfway through the decade, what are your four favorite games from the 2020s?

Time to go to work in the shit factory!

"The left cost Kamala Harris the election" is beyond cope, as if Harris and the dems didn't run a dismal campaign courting right wing voters, the left didn't make her visit the border and pledge to finish Trump's wall, or campaign with Cheney, she did that. Kamala Harris cost Harris the election.

Legolas' hair is supposed to be dark. That is all.

What video game Hubs have given you the strongest first impression? - Firelink Shrine (Dark Souls) - Observatory (Hellpoint) - Wolfstack Docks (Sunless Sea) - the Old Camp (Gothic)

I think I'm going to take another day to recuperate from the very active last week, so no stream tonight!

There is no such thing as "neutral technology" all technologies have politics. Tech is never "just a tool"

Why does YouTube not have a system built-in to make shorts out of your mainline, longer videos? That's what a lot of people do anyway, why not have an editor on the dashboard directly?

And it'll still look a fuckton of times more rad than whatever AI can come up with.

Back from the wonderful Tolkien Days in Geldern, I had a blast. Between music, cosplayers, so much to look at, a market, and even some lectures on different Tolkien things, I highly recommend it. Also I snatched a first printing Silmarillion for less than a new one would cost 😎

It's so disheartening to see many of my fellow musicians embrace Gen AI for yt videos, thumbnails, cover art. Stop it. You're doing yourself, and your craft, and your community, a disservice.

People say Bluesky needs more ideological diversity but I dunno about that. We’ve got people who love black metal, people who hate it, and people who haven’t even heard of it. What more can you need?

So happy for my best friend and his band to play at Wacken this year. I know Wacken can be seen as overrated, but it's still awesome for a band to be on stage there. www.wacken.com/en/program/b...

New weekly modular patch! This time I played around with some features of the Instruo arbhar firmware 2.1 youtu.be/OEPGh2m0Poo?...

So many great people in this post.

It better suck me off for that price

Starting a game like Baldur's Gate 3, which so well encapsulates the feeling of an actual ttrpg campaign, makes me want to play a fantasy ttrpg again - it's been so long, except for one-shots. I never had much nostalgia for D&D though - mine was The Black Eye.

Is it just me, or does Wario get more and more caked up every console generation? Man is like 65% ass now.

I do not care how "dead" this app becomes, I am not going back to Twitter.

I love it when studios I admire try something new. Sunless Sea is one of my favourite games of all time. Will I be there for Mandrake? Absolutely.

There's a third Aquanox and nobody told me?!

Getting back into BG3 and starting from scratch means I can finally add Karlach to my main party - my first time playing I got her relatively late and was already pretty set on Lae'zel being my frontline, but I love Karlach as a character.

Today's weekly modular patch is a bit different - I did a small test (more like a proof of concept) of playing my bass through my synth. I think it has a lot of potential, and I'm looking forward to explore it more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lf-...

If you kill me, nothing happens, and you become increasingly confused why that would be. Your day goes along just fine. Once in bed, in the back of your head, the words "With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Persist in the doomed world you have created" form.

So, we all agree this thing is just for Soul Calibur 2, right? Dibs on Cervantes, btw.
