[trying to tie together the two most relevant things on my feed tonight] Zohran Mamdani is a Newtype

I can’t believe people are talking about trump saying “fuck” when he also said “the biggest load we’ve ever seen.”

yes i am sure

So our LGS used to be mostly a MtG store but then another local store pissed off their YuGiOh playerbase so they all just randomly started showing up like “can we play here instead?” and today it ran YuGiOh locals.

MARK ZUCKERBERG: Emperor Augustus, I have come to meet you, as you are a major inspiration for my own empire in the distant future. CAESAR AUGUSTUS: (whispering to his advisors) The stretched-out child has the hair of a dog

What level of eldest daughter is it when you're the only one who can convince your dad to go to the emergency room when he has a four inch gash in his scalp? (everyone is fine, but he needed two staples)

hilarious that there are two super popular ems dudes on tiktok/youtube, but it makes it hard to search. no I don't want the jacked one who plays both roles, I want the hot one with the long island accent

Incredible

All Internet culture as we know it stems from its original primordial purpose: to argue about which Gundam series and Final Fantasy games are good or not instead of talking about basically anything else.

I was baffled by the fact that Quistis's MtG art didn't have glasses until I checked game screenshots and realized that I just mentally photoshopped her glasses from this intro scene onto every memory of that game www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE4I...

more shows need to do weird shit like that time on scrubs when J.D. was haunted by the life cycle of Colin Hay youtu.be/jrGmcuj44DQ?...

Please call your senators about this, ESPECIALLY if you have a Republican senator. This is an issue that Republicans would be plausibly mad about. "I'll never vote for anyone who sold MY land to a billionaire," Mention grazing, hunting, fishing. How this land belongs to Americans, not corporations

When I was 14 I was assigned Ryo as my anime boyfriend because all the other Ronin Warriors were taken and I was like "ok" because I just wanted to be included.

The Right branding the media as hopelessly liberal to create an entire ecosystem that benefits them is one of the better psy-ops of the 20th century.

by gesturing and hinting toward fundamentally incomprehensible events outside of any knowable narrative context, samuel beckett in his famed play Waiting for Godot invented "lore." in this essay i will

Having more than one LGS you play MtG at feels like managing a polycule. Sorry Dragon's Cave, I can't go to your Chaos Sealed, even though that's my favorite format. I already promised I'd go to Of Dice and Deck's Birthday party.

ATUEL IS ALSO PART OF NEXT FEST! 🙌 🌺 🎏 You can play the demo and wishlist the full game here: store.steampowered.com/app/2794330/...

Killer feature that would bring bluesky to new heights: A button you can push next to a post that says "I've already seen this link reblogged seven billion times please wait at least a day before you show me another reblog of it."

In the next civil war, "the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1875

Hey #gamewriting friends. I'm planning to pitch a panel to PAX that contrasts writing in games for other mediums featuring a panel of game writers who have also done professional work in at least one other medium (books, comics, movies, tv, etc) Is that you? You wanna join? Let me know?

Man, what a wild image from the MagicTCG subreddit. www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/c...

I never understood this read. Two things are SUPER clear in TFA movie: Snoke is constantly demeaning and manipulating Kylo with classic abuse tactics Kylo seeks the dark side because he thinks it will make him powerful enough to be safe and free him from the guilt and pain that consume him.

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

I think a lot of the anti-bluesky people don't realize how truly dead twitter is for most of us. I used to follow 500 people and have around 1k followers. Now it's 380 and 730, mostly inactive. If I scroll through 24 hours of posts, there are only ~20 active people, >50% of whom are also on bsky.

Folks, remember

Indies - now is a *very* good time to put your Switch 1 game on sale. The Switch 2 eShop loads for the first time with a very visible button saying how many of your wishlist games are on sale. eShop visibility is much better. Benefit from SW2 launch even without a native port!

we build a completely alienated society in the marxist sense with every element of human life compartmentalized for extraction, and then are shocked when people go mad becoming emotionally codependent with a dreaming machine that has infinite capacity for their isolated grief and profound loneliness

Instead of becoming a fox news dad, my dad got real gullible about new kinds of fan or air conditioner. He sends me links clearly marked "advertisement" that say this fan "uses a technology developed by NASA" but never specifies what that technology is. "How do you know it's not real?" he asks me.
