Just so you understand, the USA will never be the same. Our global standing will never be the same. We may, in time, be able to repair some of this shit. But it will never be the same.

I actually literally did think this

Some stuff from the Miyazaki interview about The Duskbloods: Preset characters 😐 There’s a lot of them and can be customized 🫤 There are superhuman abilities like double jumping 😳 Started development on Switch 1 😮 Can be enjoyed by people who don’t like PvP? 🤔 Magic rat is the new fire keeper 🥳

Delaying American Switch 2 orders due to tariffs is actually really funny

I usually like guest characters in fighting games. I'm not a fan of Ronaldo's inclusion in Fatal Fury, but as a one-off it's kinda funny in an absurdist way. Adding a second real-life person makes it feel like it's a different kind of game.

Taking bets on when martial law will be declared in America. I'm guessing two months. They gotta do it before the midterms at least.

I know the Switch 2 prices seem high, but if you adjust for inflation the NES prices were actually way higher

Things that get me excited in The Duskbloods trailer: Play as vampire or robot? Trains Magic rat Cleric Beast has an axe Crystilian weapon from ER Guy in pyjamas! Oni monk

I've been saying for a couple years that I'd be more interested in seeing FromSoft try branching out more from having Miyazaki direct dark fantasy action RPGs, but I honestly can hardly imagine being more excited than I am for The Duskbloods

Great news - SoulCalibur II is getting released on Switch 2 with online! Bad news - It's emulated and uses whatever netcode is built into the console...

Nintendo exclusive Souls game, I never woulda guessed

I didn't know about the Switch 2 direct until I saw some posts about it having steampunk Bloodborne 2, which I thought were complete fabrications but HOLY SHIT they were only joking a little bit! I'm so stoked for The Duskbloods

There is no “novel legal theory” about a third term, as some reporters are parroting. It’s not legal, and the idea of seizing permanent power isn’t a “theory,” it’s just what dictators do.

I think most people would benefit from being less scared of embarrassment, but the current administration really takes that too far

The modern day John Lennon is an emo white rapper who is pretty openly abusive, but gets away with it because he makes some bops sometimes

Just finished watching the first 3 Digimon movies in Japanese for the first time and I’m really taken with some of the music choices. The free form jazz in the climax of Hurricane Touchdown was so wild

The way I see it Digimon stories have 2 fundamental themes - A digital reality that is parallel to the physical one - Children finding themselves in situations they aren’t ready for and having to deal with it anyway

Watched the first episode of the new Daredevil show and was immediately struck with how much more depth and real maturity it had compared to the rest of the MCU

Oh how I yearn for a new Capcom crossover game with reused assets from previous releases in the RE engine — and some actual anti-fascist leadership

Finally saw Anora and I was not prepared for how funny it was

I don’t think there is any developer-publisher that has as deep or varied a repertoire in their games as Capcom.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

A game called Capcom Vs Everyone where Everyone is Marvel, SNK, Tatsunoko, Tekken and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

It’s good and fine to be angry at the Democrats, but saying they and the Republicans have equal blame for our current situation is both wrong and engenders defeatist nihilism.

I have started playing Killer7 and wow what a weird game

Booted up Multiversus for the first time since the relaunch and it’s actually a shame that they made so many improvements since then. Player First Games might have fumbled the launch eight ways from Sunday but they deserved better than this.

I don’t condone suicide at all, but if your whole life was desiring appointments I think it would be a reasonable thing to do

A lot of the designs in Marvel Rivals seem heavily based on gendered body dismorphia

Well I’ve tried Marvel Rivals and yeah, it’s pretty fun. Wanda is cheap as hell and Jeff is a very good boy.

I think the only person in the Dragon Ball camp that understands the basics of storytelling is Toyotaro, and his bosses don't want him to cook for some reason.

Quick review of Dragon Ball Daima: It's the best Dragon Ball has looked in a TV format. Great art and animation throughout, but the writing absolutely was not there. Like, basic setup-payoffs are not delivered. Had some good jokes though.

Hopefully manufacturers will find it more efficient to make the same panels for American cars than have two different products. It worked getting Apple to use USB-c!

In my Kendrick Lamar era. It’s not enough to see my enemies fail. I need to be actively involved in their downfall.

Have you heard about Musk telling federal employees to email their accomplishments to him? Well apparently that email address is [email protected] and you just send anything there

I hate it but I think this might be the optimal career path right now?: 1. College 2. Grad school 3. Work a couple years in a specialized field 4. Make reaction videos hinging on your specialty 5. Right wing pipeline 6. Get appointed head of a major government department

Getting good at music (or most arts) requires highly specific knowledge and skills that involve spending a lot of time alone practicing the same thing over and over. Professionals are the ones that enjoy that process… so yes, most pro artists are huge dorks and/or neurodivergent

You never expect to be chasing down your cat so you can wipe their butt until that’s exactly what you’re doing

Missed this #seal #severance
