I feel like there's one person in every household who is so used to sacrifice that they are the person who has to eat the crusty ends at the front and back of sliced bread loaves. These individuals should have a holiday in which people are obligated to give them uncrusty baked goods.

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

Ain't nothing quite like sitting down knowing the rest of your day is free to relax and play video games 😔✊🏻

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes. Now they have a friend in the White House.

When I joined Bluesky, I just wanted to have a space to chat about video games. Increasingly, there has been temptation to discuss all of the nonsense going on out there in the world because it feels like everything is on fire. I don't have much to add but it's hard to ignore.

PSN being down has gamers unable to play games they "own" digitally and it's exactly why I've always advocated so much for physical media. The path is laid out already, but I don't think the convenience was worth it. You should be able to play a game you purchased ANY time you want. Period.

Get in, friends.

True story, can't have the plebs having anything like a reasonable life

Doomscrolling through headlines by popularity is jarring because sports are still in there. It's like "Nazis own everything. The world is on fire. Will Mike McTruck be traded for Doug Dimmadome? Eggs are worth more than your life. AI that requires meat being taught how to operate chainguns."

Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord is a great game because you do a whole big medieval battles and then you slowly make a series to clicks to move the losing parties butter into your inventory. Now the butter is mine.

When your druid isn't about to waste that wild shape.

Head into next week with the confidence of a crow. 🪶

Reuters: Ubisoft shareholders in talks over possible buyout terms, sources say www.reuters.com/markets/deal... "considering how to structure a possible buyout of the Assassin's Creed video game maker without reducing the founding family's control"

Rejoined Star Wars The Old Republic the other day and entered a flashpoint (dungeon) queue on a new character when I was able. Haven't played the game in years, and someone in the party took issue with me "leveling on a low pop" server. My dude, there are 2 US servers and this one's mine? 🤷‍♂️

Treated myself to some VERY on-sale Steam games yesterday, but I've mostly been playing this new strategy sim. I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, but I don't mind the vibes, is a very relaxing game. store.steampowered.com/app/1270580/...

Reduce your steam wishlist with this one weird trick! buy more game

just about time for my favorite thanksgiving tradition: accidentally starting a new skyrim save

Anyone getting anything new on the steam sale? I'm eyeballing Total War Warcraft 3. 🤔

Baldur's Gate 3 will receive cross-play support, photo mode, and 12 new subclasses next year https://buff.ly/3B9uxa8

Nice. www.youtube.com/shorts/IEmrJ...

Palworld collaboration with Terraria is coming in 2025

"As of November 18, 2024, the 2K Launcher has been removed from every game that used it on Epic and Steam. Additionally, we also removed the “2K Launcher Beta”, a completely separate launcher, from Sid Meier’s Civilization V." support.2k.com/hc/en-us/art...

Never forget. VIDEO GAMES DO NOT HAVE EXPIRATION DATES! Play them at your own pace! Don't let FOMO consume you. Take it in and play what you love. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I enjoyed Total War Shogun II, but I'm awful at Total War Warhammer II. Does anyone have a suggestion for another good historical Total War game? 🤔

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance. We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is. Joy is my favorite weapon.

New video! I got the limited edition white Steam Deck OLED, let's take a look and see what's different (and the same): youtu.be/0m55X6sMnDA

It's not a big deal at all, but I still feel big ick over the rebrand of START & SELECT (👑) to OPTIONS & SHARE (📉)
