I ain’t afraid of anything.

I can’t decide between bow and dual blades in #mhwilds. On the one hand, bow is kind of my main weapon, but on the other I suck at getting tail cuts with it. For dual blades my main issue is that I have to be close to the monster and also stamina upkeep is a pain right now.

My mom died a week ago. Heading back home tomorrow Since prepping for my surgery last September, it’s been a constant fucking storm. For probably 2.5 years actually but the last 6 months especially. But a sense of relief has settled in. I’ve been aching to get back to my life. I want my life back.

Word has it DOGE has terminated the five men protecting the cursed seal that holds the five dark sages in their slumber

For some reason my hunter has the voice of 2B. #mhwilds

According to Capcom, the title of the game Sidearms is actually pronounced "sidearm", and the katakana for the title is written that way. Pronouncing it the way they spell the title in English in the logo going all the way back to the arcade is incorrect. That's not a joke. That one's real.

Until I was able to see it writtten down I wasn’t gonna comment on it but now that it’s written. It’s beyond fucked up that Sean Baker made the film DGA and SAG-AFTRA, but didn’t make it IATSE. I’m tired of someone making populist talking points. But not putting there money where there mouth is.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking politics, finance, or entertainment, everyone with money is absolutely 100% committed to doing the wrong thing.

In sad Dolly news...

If you need something heartwarming today, this fan video of the original line up of R.E.M. sharing a stage for the first time in nearly 30 years as part of Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy's Fables of the Reconstruction tribute show is well worth a watch. Looks like it was a great time.

That's an interesting choice of title for the alternate game mode.

Another good read. I had never heard of ACCESS.bus, a USB competitor. This standard was essentially I2C designed for external peripherals and they wanted it in everything. tedium.co/2025/02/17/a... @foone.bsky.social you're mentioned in the post :-)

Note to self, the cooking cutscene in Wilds does not protect you from aggroing monsters.

Optimal monster hunting armour. This is what peak performance looks like.

My favourite part of #mhwilds so far is when a bunch of polygons flip out and go crazy all over my screen in the middle of fighting a monster.

Can anyone identify this machine? Clearly what's on screen in the second shot is fake, but I'm curious what this actually is.

Video games have never produced a better best girl than Reiko.

Does anyone recognise this instrument? Scale length about 405mm, floating bridge. The slots in the nut and bridge are all the same width, to fit the fishing-line strings. It looks like a learner or tourist instrument from a professional maker: expensive tools, cheap materials, serviceable finishing.

Anyway, one of the problems the Nazis may have had with their nuclear weapons program is that the whole thing sounded pretty gay: I haven't read source documents and don't have a firm grasp on the semantics, but "uranian" used to be used to cover a lot of what we'd now call LGBT content.

ohno.. majima.. no...

Monster Hunter Wilds is set in a universe where knives exist but forks are yet to be invented.

Wilds is absolutely GOTY so far but also fuck me the PC version runs like garbage. Like I get my PC is marginal (8th gen CPU/4070) for this game, but the game stutters so badly that I’m pretty sure there’s an actual issue with the game itself. Even with DLSS and frame gen it’s bad.

That's one beautiful single molecule. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PG5_(mo... "PG5 has a molecular mass of about 200 MDa or 200,000,000,000,000,000 g/mol. It has roughly 200 million atoms and a diameter of roughly 10 nm. Its length is up to a few micrometers."

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.
