Edited to protect the person asking the question, but...the average person cannot fathom capitalism happening to them when it happens all time. This was asked after the nonprofit I worked at just did layoffs (I'm ok). As always: nonprofit is a tax status, it is not a business plan.

Inspired by @giantbomb.bsky.social's 10 Best Games of the 21st Century (H/T to @tvreeh.bsky.social), I voted and made my own list! Basically, games after the year 2000 I'm constantly thinking about and wish I could replay not knowing anything about them again.

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

Man, I fell hard for the FF MTG crossover. Got the FFVII and FFX commander decks, the starter kit, and a really nice Cloud Deck Box. Plus, one of the sample packs contained the special Tidus card.

While living in Washington DC, I was walking back home and randomly ran into Newt Gingrich who was on 2 cell phones simultaenously. Gave him a look (which for me read as "I recognize you from the TV dbag") and as I pass by him, he turns around, puts down his cell phones, and gives me finger guns.

Have rediscovered Pokemon Scarlet since Switch 2 (it's so much better now) and jeez is it a bummer they discontinued that service where you could put up a Pokemon for trade and ask for a specific one in return. That was cool. Also there are so many hacked Pokemon in Surprise Trade lol

Oops I got one #nintendoswitch2

Yes yes yes yes yes yes

There are many ways in which things are completely hosed, but these self-owns with EVs is one of the more frustrating ones, not just b/c I happen to own one. They want the nostalgia that makes Fallout's past appealing back while forgetting it leads to bleak future. www.theverge.com/electric-car...

finally the pope and mortal kombat have the same hometown

GB forever <>

Something that traumatized me forever roughly 15 years ago was losing the first ever FT job I had due to outsourcing. Every job I've had since continues to feel miraculous and being in survival mode. There are so many talented people now w/o work across multiple industries. How is this sustainable?

I don't think it's unreasonable to believe we're witnessing the collapse of an institutional video games media in real-time.

Giant Bomb was awesome. Giant Bomb is awesome. Giant Bomb deserves to continue being awesome and any execs who can't make that happen should probably start by firing themselves.

Feels like I'm going to get a Switch 2 the same way I got my PS5: 8 months after launch, when the company in question opens up their stock directly and I secure one on my way to the airport for a work trip lol

Roughly 4ish hours into Blue Prince, it has immaculate vibes as a puzzler but is one of the more frustrating experiences I've had in a long time. Like if an Escape Room was an MC Escher painting.

It never feels good sending money to the government but it has never felt as bad as it does today. I know I have paid to produce so much suffering I’m not an idiot but there was always a plausible deniability baked in. Like how they put blanks in one of the firing squad rifles.

this shit sucks so much, most of us have lived through at least 3 other recessions now im just so sick of this shit they just keep stealing our future from us

Nintendo hardware is consistently some of the most durable and reliable stuff out there because it's a console for children, but at these prices, if you're a kid, you're waiting for a combined holiday with your sibling, winning a contest, or playing this at your rich friend's house.

fuck chuck schumer and anybody down with him

You simply do not have to (preemptively) hand it to the Nazi wallet inspectors. That Trump and Co. will do whatever they want anyways doesn't give you license to ROLLOVER. This douchecanoe is my state senator and already announced he's retiring. May his sandwiches forever have spoiled ingredients.

guys love to say “dude my balatro run last night was insane” then show you a screenshot like this
