I feel like I'm in another 'gaming ice age' where I don't really pick up new things, stick to a couple long burn games and overall just get into other things that are not video games. Right now: music, been spending more time with my synths/samplers.

"Hey you know that complex application you wrote that has a ton of documentation, well I ignored all of that, changed something and now it doesn't work, what's wrong with your code?" Good way to start your day.

My phone updated and they fucked the notifications panel all up, it's like a fucking iPhone now, boooooooooooooo

Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast. For more info right now, head over to www.giantbomb.com/join

Holy ish I'm glad I got that expensive ass cargo bike when I did, it would be the price of a used car if I got it now.

FUN FRIDAY PANEL BY E.B.

ngl, portillos is mid.

Look, you had me at 'machaca'. seedandspark.com/fund/machaca...

That Slate truck is like they asked me exactly what do you want from a small electric truck and made it. Reserved one.

Since games media is in such a dismal place, I would love a site/group that talks about them, BUT not the brand new stuff constantly, instead talk about slow burns, long term games, and games people are catching up on.

IRS is weird, one year they are hitting us with penalties and fines, the next they are giving us thousands back that we just use to pay the previous fees and fines. An endless cycle of "oh fuck!" Then "oh cool, that's taken care of"

Got a trackball a couple weeks ago, from the get go, the ball didn't really move smoothly, thought maybe it was a breaking period. But started to get chunky this week. I popped the ball out, and it was all clogged with fluffy dust. Not oily hand gunk, but just fluff.

RIP GIANT BOMB with the greatest gif.

For a bunch of tools enforcing "brand" guidelines this was never the GB tone.

Since the suits only care about "number go up" then I guess I need to unfollow/unsubscribe to all things giant bomb now that it's going to turn into whatever AI slop they have in mind.

RIP Giant Bomb, how they survived the onslaught of suits with bad ideas so long is amazing. But it's only a site, a "brand" now, and is nothing without the people behind it. The fun will go on, just in a different place, hopefully one that suits can't infiltrate.

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today. Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

Our Flag Means Death (Series, 2022 - )

Was disconnected from the world this weekend but absolutely dismayed to hear about the attack in Vancouver. The problem is everywhere and EVERY POC must see this as an attack on all of us.

Inspired by a discussion during the last GMD between @tolkoto.com and @grubb.wtf

sashhhhh, don't tell anyone, but the secret meat is on the smoker.

Wonder what giant bomb is doing today for unprof.... Oh yeah, the suits that took over a streaming site doesn't want them streaming.

Had a feeling the gamespot/pow block stuff was just a lead in to giant bomb getting killed off. Gamespots boring ass NPR shit was never a good fit.

The local raider nation house is flying their raider nation-ized American flag upside down to reflect the current state of affairs.

Rise of the green bois.

Italian parents that moved to Buenos Aires... Hmmmmmm... Did nazi that coming.

"oh you know, I should get a controller for the living room steam deck dock" Goes to order. It was 39 a month ago, 59 today. Think maybe I'll just take the control/dongle from the office when I want to play.

If I wanted to watch @gamespot.com content, I would watch their channel, but now I gotta sift through it in the @giantbomb.bsky.social channel? Knew they were going to do this.

The Best Of Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller September 20,1955

Are the going to deport Phoenix Ikner? He's a violent criminal.

So is the Bernie/AOC stuff just a prelude to them running in '28 just for the DNC to force them to step aside?
