I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

Just going to throw my NextFest recs in a little thread here as and when I finish up with each demo. Starting with store.steampowered.com/app/3261900/...
ACAB (Except DinoCop) this charming little puzzle game is looking like it will be a delight & surprisingly the opposite of copaganda

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

RPGs are one of the most satisfying types of video games to finish in general - that's right, my ragtag band of heroes DID save the world - but it's astounding how much more satisfaction an epilogue adds

give me slides! letters! cute little cutscenes! let me see how I affected people!

Initial thoughts on Bye Sweet Carole from playing a bit last night.
- Hot damn this game is beautiful. The animation & storytelling is reminiscent of Don Bluth's more iconic work & is mostly fluid
- the controls can be a little finicky but overall the movement isn't bad
- the plot is intriguing

Electrolysis tonight and I’ve just found out that the numbing cream I use for my top lip is *a little strong.* it seems the USA have a bigger issue with lidocaine than the UK does, getting excitable at 7% strength. My cream is 16%. I’ve used a few tubes of it over the last year without any issues…

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Now there’s barrell riding, eating contest, ram racing, food/drink making and serving, a boss fight in the grounds that rewards random stuff. All I remember before is throwing empty tankards at the dark irons?

Brewfest has changed! I’m sure the last time I played WoW properly it was just a lil thing, you had the dungeon, then at Dun Murough (I can’t spell that tonight) there was the area where you could buy drinks and every so often a mole machine would pop up? There was ram racing but not much else.

This is still true and the mods would do well to remember it

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

Imani Gandy Corn 🎃 @angryblacklady.blacksky.app · Dec 9

Which is why Bluesky needs to yeet Jesse Singal out of here. And to yeet JKR on sight when she brings her hate brigade over here. It should be non-negotiable.

The phrase “AVP Seasoning” has me imagining it in a jar from Lidl. What would you sprinkle AVP seasoning on? What sort of flavour would it be? I’m imagining umami as the main kind of thing, but weirdly thin/disappointing.

I love the Alien films on the whole, but yeah more often than not it’s rough

Remembered this morning that I narrated one of my short horror stories earlier this year. If you've got about 10 minutes to spare, I'd love for you to give STRAY KITTEN, a tale of a girl and her invisible friend, a listen!
