the saddest thing about the resurgence of retrolike jrpgs is so many bringing to bear modern advances in graphics, music, and battle systems and then being like “writing? whatever worked in 1992 is fine ig”

It’s casting desire for affordable household goods as both feminine and childish. Funny how they didn’t do that under Biden

reading to my baby is an S-Tier daily activity and they’re only a little over a year old. daydreaming about what I’ll get to read to/with them as they grow up gives me so much joy, man. I guess I’ll just never understand what the fuck is going on in the heads of most people.

The theme music for Perpetua (by @notquitereal.bsky.social) is such a beautifully buoyant bop, and it’s giving me a lot more spring in my step towards the end of a tiring week.

Two years ago I went on TV and said exactly this: The AI panic cycle was a marketing campaign by known billionaire failures, ultimately an excuse to revenge-fire workers with no immediate replacement. I literally said "The agita around AI is deeply cultural." Me no have TV job shortly thereafter.

that Expedition 33 review on The Verge is giving me an aneurysm. breathless praise for the tactical depth of combat while describing the act of giving your main physical attacker an accessory that raises attack. …..o…okay.

young men, playing video games all day will not make you happy. only getting married and having a family will make you truly and permanently content, as illustrated by the collective output of 20th century male novelists

this kind of thing remains unsurprising to me insofar as movements preoccupied with controlling other people's bodies, & which accept as dogma that parents have a "right" to decide what their children do with their own bodies, are always going to attract abusers + encourage/excuse/condone abuses.
