Friend found a nice, expensive wok on the street, and I revived it yesterday. Which is perfect because I had just been thinking about how I needed a wok.

With the little runway I now have, I will attempt to get a new, independent podcast into the air. Original reporting. Every week. Subscribe to the newsletter if you want to watch it being built.

back to my loops

I like how the pattern is always take something good and then ruin it while waxing poetic about how they might be able to make it into something almost as good as what they just broke

it’s going to be staffed by the same desperate and/or clueless younger people and industry washouts as sites like zombie deadspin and waypoint because nobody worth their salt is going to want to write for it

No one person has done more to bolster the community that surrounds Giant Bomb over the last 17 years than ZombiePie. He has tirelessly put together weekly roundups of forum posts, blogs, reviews, wiki work, and art. This is probably the last one. Please read it. www.giantbomb.com/articles/the...

Why walk when you could ride?

the sensation of feeling sutures get pulled through your tongue is p weird honestly

Please someone help me I can’t stop laughing at this

jesse singal is being used as a primary reference by the trump administration on “the dangers of youth transgender care”. he is aiding the states objective of oppression of trans rights directly now

Well, that was a dream come true. Knew it wouldn't last, though. Out of a job at the moment. But I'll always be doing patreon.com/gamemess

Nothing but unconditional love for Dan and everyone at Giant Bomb right now.

Polygon has done consistently great work for more than a decade. I’m heartbroken for the folks who worked there and profoundly sad for the entire industry.

lol Fandom apparently wants to make Giant Bomb a game guide website???

One thing I've found to be something of a constant through all this is that a lot of sales teams are anchored by people with ancient ideas and calcified skill sets who simply can not fathom how to monetize, say, a podcast. Either that or the sales team bailed any everyone says "uh... YouTube money?"

Nothing but love to my Giant Bomb friends. Nothing but love to everyone at Polygon. Everyone deserves better than whatever the fuck is going on right now.

Damn. Spent the past week and change expecting Giant Bomb was about to finally, fully die, and then Polygon got completely gutted.

There’s this band whose social media presence I find Too Much (v theater kid), vaguely feel like plants with how much the Spotify algorithm pushed them on me when they only had two singles, but goddamn if they arent 4 for 4 on writing extremely good pop songs youtu.be/bWzaEe6PgnY?...

made my first espresso shot from the machine my friend gave me, and it wasn’t very good! now begins the trial and error of dialing it in [complimentary]

The first teaser where they riff on Koyaanisqatsi while "Pruit Igoe" plays was such an incredible statement of intent. Still, for all its faults, find the ambition of this game much more engaging than V. Feels much more of a piece with RDR and RDR2, as well.

Normally not much of a browser plugins guy, but as someone who occasionally looks up video game things online, this one's been very nice. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

I turn into this cloud guy whenever you come over btw

imagine you're a serf in northern france the day they announced all your dip shit aristocrat bosses got themselves killed at agincourt. i'd be hitting the church-ale at dawn

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.
