Good. The Warner Bros Discovery merger has been nothing short of a dumpster fire, thanks largely in part to Zaslav's greed, incompetence, penny pinching, and anti-art business practices. As long as he remains in charge, WB's problems will continue to get worse.

Damn it, Rune Factory, I haven't even left the Spring Village yet and already have four really strong potential romance options. Being pansexual means that I have even more options to romance some likable characters.

Interesting how these shitty opinion columnists never write about the manosphere or the Fox News bubble. And why the hell would I want to go back to Twitter to subject myself to disinformation, hate speech, threats, and fascist propaganda?

I believe that social media can and should be a force for good. The problem is that fascists, billionaires, and shitty tech bros go out of their way to make sure that social media remains a net negative for humanity by rewarding and celebrating hate and negativity.

Yeah, if you walk around wearing a "Make *Blank* Great Again" hat, you know exactly the type of audience you're aiming towards and want to cultivate. Good people have every reason to be sus of you and not want to buy your thing.

Posting this again because I think some people need to hear it. If you're going to fight fascism, don't let yourself become as miserable and as joyless as they are. Don't let them drag you down with them.

How the hell does a creep like Jared Leto still end up getting work, and fairly big roles, when he has a laundry list of allegations as long as his? But sure, tell me again that "cancel culture" is a thing and that MeToo "ruined lives".

Pixar didn't "fall off". They got majorly screwed over by the pandemic (people still don't want to acknowledge how badly the film/TV industry was impacted by that for some reason) and the other issue is that Disney doesn't seem to want to market their original movies.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize all the big gaming and movie studios, yet people on social media would rather insist on pushing easily debunked lies and bad faith criticism to get easy likes and that rush they get from clout chasing.

I really hope that the fascism we've all seen from the Trump admin and their goons can finally put to rest the myth that conservatives believe in free speech and small government. They were ALWAYS about using the government to punish and censor anyone they don't like.

If no Alien or Aliens, then Galaxy Quest and as a bonus, her voice cameo in WALL-E. Sigourney Weaver also happened to be one of my earliest childhood crushes, which has continued well into my adulthood.

My newest favorite characters:

Every single American who voted for Trump, as well as refused to vote, can go fuck themselves. All this chaos and cruelty is on you. And fuck off with the "this isn't what I voted for" when it exactly was.

Live Action - Cast Away Animation - Toy Story 3 Cameo - The Simpsons Movie

Not only does social media reward media illiteracy, but it honestly glorifies it. Like a video that's just some bigot screaming "WoKe!" at something or a bad faith tweet tend to go much more viral than thoughtful criticism and or genuine enjoyment.

One thing that Bluesky unfortunately inherited from Twitter is a big bullying problem, particularly to people who don't even deserve it, which is exactly what the screenshotted account is doing. And it would be nice if Bluesky updated you on accounts you reported.

The Mario Kart World soundtrack is an absolute banger and it would be nice if Nintendo would post the music officially on YouTube. I love the stylized remixes of older tracks. My favorite so far is this jazzy SMB 2 remix. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLQh...

Bluesky is still way less toxic than Twitter, but holy shit some people here really need to know how to take a joke and to stop scolding people over every fucking thing. Some of you all really need to take that stick out of your ass.

Drop something GREEN

These chuds were never about wanting an actor who looks like the character. They were always about denying anyone they don't like (namely women, people of color, and LGBT+ people) any representation. They've always been bigots and fake fans.

Predator Killer of Killers is really damn good and you should watch it. Give Dan Trachtenberg the key to the Predator franchise already. I would love to see more IPs do this type of storytelling in a stunning animated format.

Currently watching Predator: Killer of Killers and then I'll play some more Rune Factory until I fall asleep.

Normally gay jokes are incredibly dated or are based in homophobia, but this one is *chef's kiss*.

I think this is probably the only thing at Summer Games Fest that I'm interested in. Mina the Hollower gives off classic Zelda vibes and I might pick it up when it comes out on Switch 2.

If I'm not interested in something, I'll at most make a post about it and then never think about thing again as I'd rather focus on things I enjoy.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.

Rune Factory runs great on Switch 2. It's a hybrid of an action game, RPG elements, and a farming and life sim. The characters are already charming and very likable. Also, just look at Woolby. He's so cute.

You can always tell a real fan from a clout chaser or grifter. A real fan will be genuinely excited for something or give it a chance, but not reject fair criticism. A clout chaser and grifter will go straight to hating something without giving it a chance and bad faith criticism.

Me this summer:

As I've always said, like and dislike whatever you want so long as you're not harming anyone. Just don't be a toxic asshole or a pretentious dick about it.

We all know that Trump is on the Epstein list, but it's funny that Elon seems to think that this is breaking news or that MAGA will care. But it makes MAGA even bigger hypocrites when they accuse LGBT+ people of being creeps and sex pests.

I hope everyone who got a Switch 2 had some fun with it today. Tomorrow I'll probably mostly spend with Rune Factory, and as always with the case with games like it, I'll need to figure out who to romance.

Toxic positivity and toxic negativity are two sides of the same coin. Neither are helpful and both contribute to making the discourse worse.   However, I still think it's healthier to at least try to like things instead of constantly hating everything.

The Lilo & Stitch series gives off very strong Pokémon vibes, whether intentional or not. Lilo is Ash, Stich is Pikachu, Jumba and Pleakley are Brock and Misty, and Gantu and X-625 are Team Rocket as they all hunt down experiments.

You know what? Make all the jokes about Trump and Elon crashing out you want. People honestly deserve some fun at their expense.

I will never understand why some people can't enjoy more than one thing and why they always have to engage in petty and childish console war shit. Do they think they'll spontaneously combust if, for example, they'll enjoy both a Nintendo game and a Playstation game?

So I log back into Bluesky now and I see Trump and Elon fighting each other? Lol. Glorious. Let those two motherfuckers destroy each other and take the Republicans down with them.
