Unfettered PDA Monster (the autism kind, not the school dance kind) in an apologetic AuDHD shell. Been known to tilt at windmills, but also giants. Dual Class Lover/Fighter I'm pretty fucking damaged, thanks for asking. Doing my best to own my shit.

Bill Maher has been a gross, smug, self regarding piece of shit this whole time. The idea that he and Trump had a nice meal together is not at all shocking to me.

PSA or implied threat? You decide.

If the natalists and eugenicist ideas had any truth to them at all then this entirely planet would be peopled by nomadic horse archers.

If there is all the money in the world to kickstart a line of plushies or a video game than why the fuck are we not crowdfunding the goddamned ICC? Why do the American people always seem to have time and money for dumb, useless shit but never for existential threats to their democracy.

Oblivion already exists. It's $5 and the fans have already fixed the MOUNTAINS of jank it launched with and Beth never bothered to fix because you already paid and nobody could make them. It will be another generation before the fans can fix the new half baked shit (now with RTX!) they will release

Not only is AI NOT FUCKING REAL, but it becomes less real every day we pretend that the trillion dollar guessing machines silicon valley has shat out are a path to AI. You will never in a trillion years get intelligence from this tech. As New Englanders would say "You can't get thar from here.".

The Second Screener's Review* of The Prestige: Stage Magic. Close shots of quiet talking. Bored. Stage Magic. Oh shit, is that DAVID BOWIE?! Is this movie good now? Sudden, inexcusable Bowie-lessness. He's not coming back, is he? Bored. Roll credits *Primary Screen: Modded OpenMW 0.49

1D Parcheesi is WAY more challenging than 4D chess, or as it is more popularly known, chess. Win a game of Connect Four without the concept of time, length, depth or a causal interrelated physical world of things defined by their relationships with each other and then I will be impressed.

If anyone ever calls me a Panican to my face I've got a slap waiting for them that will make them religious for the first time

Metroidbrainia is not a thing. It's just a puzzle game. The game stands on it's own, it doesn't need a stupid industry buzzword tacked onto it to get the word out. I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell metal fans. The extended subgenre taxonomy is arbitrary and splits hairs that don't matter.

And just like that the AAA Games Industry diverted all of it's efforts into Whaling. Making good, original stuff is hard and whales are cash on the fin that aren't capable of defending themselves.

There are so many nerd-centric hobbies that are deliberate scams. It's just the popular dumb rich kids bullying you for your lunch money into your twilight years, but instead of shoving you into lockers they are exploiting deep feelings of LSC emptiness to sell you dross hyper-inflated by branding.

Discord is not 'support' if nobody in your support channel knows what the fuck they are talking about or wants to help anyone.

I sprung for the Cassandra Complex bonus feature for my autism and I am having serious buyers remorse. So much of what is happening today was clearly telegraphed and I frankly think people chose to not see it, in spite of their own common sense and the many, MANY people shouting for them to wake up

GODDAMIT. IT’S NOT A RESURRECTED DIRE WOLF. 20 edits in 19,000 genes. IT’S NOT GOING TO AID CONSERVATION. EVERY WRITE UP THAT SWALLOWS AND REGURGITATES THIS GUFFERY WOLFSHIT IS DOING PR FOR A FUNDING ROUND.

MINECRAFT’s success means we’re closer than ever to a theatrical release of OW MY BALLS!

I have always laughed at the catastrophic mindset people use to speculate what AGI will be like, but when I think about all the shit they are making them process in their formative years I think it may result in super-intelligent school shooters that need centuries of hyper-therapy to function.
