Me: Hi

My dentist:

Wanna thank Kpop Demon Hunters for finally offering representation for what I look like in candid photos.

A frame from Kpop Demon Hunters of Bobby in a robe and spa face mask holding a phone. He is in the middle of talking and this frame makes it look like he's smiling with his front top teeth protruding in a decidedly unflattering way.

This might be the funniest thing I've seen today that most of my friends will stare at me for laughing at.

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

Shout out to @pewpewbang.bsky.social for letting me finally experience a chill slumber party where we share our favorite Pokémon and call out Brock as an incel. Truly all anybody should want in life.

(For the record mine's Espurr.)

What I wouldn't give for a modern re-release of Mana Khemia.

Lmaooooooo

(Yes I know this is not the kind of game the meme is talking about but how are people today still bent out of shape over graphics?)

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · 24d

I wonder how many of the unfortunate nerds complaining about the visuals in Pokémon Legends Z-A have also unironically shared this meme.

A meme of Sonic the Hedgehog lounging around saying "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding."

Friendly reminder, please don't make Green Day jokes today because that song you're referencing is about the death of Billie Joe's dad.

PSA: If your local ABC station refuses to air Jimmy Kimmel's return, here's who you can complain to. nypost.com/2025/09/23/m...

These are the Sinclair and Nexstar-owned ABC stations that won’t air Jimmy Kimmel’s return

Sinclair Broadcast Group announced its ABC affiliates will not air “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — replacing it with local news instead.

Genuinely can't see how something like this won't see death by a thousand lawsuits for its very clear "inspiration" from so many very popular games. But if it somehow survives and delivers on what's shown here, I'm in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnES...

Fun fact: if you like a thing other people don't like, you're under no obligation whatsoever to dilute your enjoyment with "I know it's flawed, but..."

Just say you like it.

Excessively negative nerds aren't the gatekeepers of fun. You don't owe them a toll for passage to good times.

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · Sep 22

What's annoying is that negativity dominates every discussion about the game and any ounce of happiness always draws people like you eager to shut it down.

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · Sep 22

Congratulations. Maybe look into why people enjoying a game makes you angry, and why you feel the need to tell them that.

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · Sep 22

Ok. When did I say it was flawless? I said it wasn't a bad game. Yet every time I dare to give it the tiniest praise, or commit the cardinal sin of admitting I *gasp* enjoy it, suddenly the actuallys go flying.

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · Sep 22

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is only seen as bad because the worst people got angry that it had pronouns and everyone else just saw tons of negativity and assumed it was the prevailing opinion.

This game would have been a huge success if it didn't release during the "gender is political" era.

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · Sep 21

Btw for all the fuckwits out there remember Bluesky has a handy "hide reply for everyone" function.

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · Sep 21

Friendly PSA that Sucker Punch fired an employee for MILDLY criticizing Charlie Kirk and then doubled down when confronted about it so maybe keep that in mind when trying to decide how excited you are for Ghost of Yotei.

Dan Conlin @convito.bsky.social · Sep 21

Uncancel the Star Wars Outlaws sequel you cowards.

Started practicing my trumpet again and Springs found the sudden reappearance of my gig bag to be a surprise, albeit a welcome one.

A tortoiseshell cat laying on a soft musical instrument case, blocking any and all access to the now slightly more hairy valuables within.

The only reason I slouch now is because I don't have "Target video game demo kiosk neck" anymore. Bringing those back would fix me, and also help my posture.

Modern TV should have standalone episodes where two characters who hate* each other are forced to work together to survive.

*""Hate""

"You remember back there, when I told you I hated you, and you told me you hated me?"
"Vividly."
"I just wanted you to know… I meant every word of it."
"So did I."

Odo and Quark from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Ascent"
