I'll never stop being blindsided by the fact that there are people out there who view playing games *for fun* as inadequate.

If the company reports record profits and mass layoffs, the profits are stolen wages from torn down jobs. 💫

I had a ZX Spectrum 128k first and then a Vic-20. I definitely drew the short straw when I got to experience the Atari ST and C64.

I'm fond of the Ghost in the Shell DVD menu. I can't find the one I had on YouTube, but it played a completely different ambient menu theme instead of Making of Cyborg/Ghost City.

It was this song instead, there was even a music video of it in the special features:

Not me with a mental playlist of songs whenever I enter a "new area", because roads and headphones don't mix when I'm walking.

Shout-out to moderators. I've seen pictures of people in sportswear completely covering their bodies labelled as adult content. Meanwhile, reposting of actual nudity has gone unchecked on my timeline. This is their latest effort; Lara's... Polygons.

Plus, I found it super adorable that people are trying to push "Player" to imply some sort of heirarchy where a "Gamer" is better. Like "GamerTM" hasn't been a term used to actively mock the vile culture of hatred that's lead to associating self-worth with a hobbyist skill.

I was put on “Bad Player Takes” on Twitter over my opinions on easy difficulties. I was impotently accused of wanting “Grandma’s easy mode”. I joked about it here, months later someone replies with another accusation of “Grandma’s easy mode”. If only difficult games taught originality and wit.

What's funnier is that the feud between Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu is due to the latter being a breakaway clan of the former, hence their similar outfits. The Japanese ninja came after the Chinese assassins. So, Sub-Zero is essentially going full circle long before the clans made peace in the future.

Every time an innuendo is implied by one of these Steam sticker awards, I wash unsure if it was just my dirty mind, but now I am absolutely convinced they know what they are doing.

Which doesn't sound like a lot, but in 2019 I struggled to walk a quarter of that because of my poor health. So I'm glad to be working my way back to not having an asthma attack as I sweat buckets after leaving my home.

I've been practicing cardio on a nightly basis for an hour and a half on pedals, I've also taken to doing some upper body strength with hand grippers and a dumbbell. After years of struggling to walk and knee problems last year, I've successfully done a 3 mile walk to the store.

That's not to say "Crowdfunding = Block!" If people have it on their profile or occasionally share it. More like "5 Followers, 7k Following, 35 posts that are copy pasted 'life is hard donate now' = Block"

That, and there are ick accounts which I would support if real, but are likely scams to get donations from certain communities. It's generally my policy to block accounts if their profile is nothing but posts requesting donations. Like, literally no posts other than links.

I wish BlueSky would allow me to remove followers like Twitter does. I block based on vibes, but sometimes it's better to just disappear after a spammer has alphabetically followed accounts and their follow lists are a template.

One of the funniest things I've seen is Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes when Captain America is experiencing an illusion where crime is over and the Red Skull handed himself in. It's explained Red Skull "wants to make amends" Cap immediately attacks the fake because a n*zi would never want that.

I can imagine the flavour comes from the anti-face eating cream sold by politicians and used to discourage leopards, which smells suspiciously like BBQ sauce.

It was speculated that it was an attempt at a lazy cruise through an "easy" course in order to score a student loan. Luckily, we didn't see her again after the first semester.

It was very frustrating when one of my classmates attempted to get others to do her written assignments for her... For a creative writing class. I shudder to think what kind of writing career that person will have now that AI is a thing.

I graduated in 2022 and our plagarism software was basically a duplicate file finder, which is fine because the screw-ups for erroneously flagged documents (usually triggered by templates everyone used) would at least be examined by human eyes. I feel lucky to have experienced uni life before AI.

It's funny to watch the phobes get torn between "unfair advantage" and "transitioning ruins your health". You know, aside from the fact that professional wrestling is consent driven entertainment.

I remember when they added a free one onto my account without my consent, so I have a weird random episode from the second season of a show I was never going to watch, that became unwatchable but eternally tied to my account when the video on demand service died.

My Adventures with Superman was great this week, a very gay end to pride month and a previously established character got a whole lot more fleshed out. I love how they had a different angle to the same story as last week, but how utterly terrifying a kryptonian must appear from the other side.

"Superman would stand by trans people." "sUpErMaN iS fIcTiOnAL!" Yes, well done. So is the gritty TV show character in their profile pic that's supposed to be a cautionary tale and not an inspiration.

lol, why do people think "They're a fictional character" is a witty comeback for saying a character wouldn't be bigoted? Like media doesn't shape society and good characters don't inspire people.

Treasure toads are little amphibian dungeon dwellers. Like magpies, they are attracted to everything shiny, and bring it back to their nest. Finding those nests is not a necessarily a guaranteed payday, because broken glass shards shine about as much as the most expensive diamond.

I love the implication that, if Weyland-Yutani became powerful enough, they'd have a xenomorph as some kind of lion-esque mascot on their money.

And yeah, there are iterations of Batman with problems, as is the case of a character that's had many writers over the decades. But compassion is core to his identity. He does what he does so nobody has to suffer as he did, including training a Robin to specifically not turn into another Batman.

Just look at any number of "Batman meets Superman" or "Batman joins the Justice League" or "Batman forms a Bat family" retellings. A core part of those stories is Batman learning to accept others and differences have their strengths.

It's annoying to watch phobic batman "fans" complain about Tim Drake being bisexual, but satisfying to see them get shut down by the name "Kevin Conroy". Then, they complain that Batman wouldn't accept Tim, despite the stories of batman showing and learning compassion.

Not only do I love David Tennant, I love the numbers of people who will chime in whenever a fool expresses disdain at David having decency to love and respect people. It's hilarious to scroll through a comment section and see "Not David too :(" with no likes and 50+ replies.
