"Why am I addicted to this shit?" I say, as I keep scrolling.

I should burn a CD with all the songs from Vulgar Display Of Power by Pantera except they're all MIDI versions, and I'd use this picture for the jewel case. And then donate it to a local thrift store.

Guess I'm still perfectly fine with my Steam Deck lol.

David Jalbert 🦥 @davidjayindie.bsky.social · 4h

Even if you consider that it comes with Windows 11 no matter what device it's installed on, so technically it's not unusual... it's still a lot of bloat and you really don't want all this crap on a gaming device.

I can only hope they don't prevent you from installing SteamOS on this.

It's like crack; you know it's bad for you, you know you should quit, but... it's so damn delicious tho! 🥴

Life's overrated, I want a refund.

Wait, did it go down? Guess I must have missed it.

David Jalbert 🦥 @davidjayindie.bsky.social · 11h

Honestly? Yes please. The closest we have to that right now is Discord...

I got curious and looked at that thread and I don't want to speak out of turn but uh... The way Amanda is talking, and how she's responding to comments, sounds all very familiar.

Me: puts up a sign behind the waterfall that says "What do you mean, there's no secret? What did your stupid ass expect?"

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

It changes the day when you're allowed to wear a t-shirt to the office :p

The only difference, from what I've seen and experienced since the Bush era, is that most of them don't care about keeping the mask on anymore.

To be honest, I initially thought it would suck too, because the previous games are not great. Well I stand corrected, you proved me wrong!

I guess casinos are the OG labubus so I'm not surprised. I'm just disappointed.

David Jalbert 🦥 @davidjayindie.bsky.social · 17h

Adam Conover said it best on his youtube channel about why people buy labubus; they know it's financially irresponsible but they also know saving money doesn't do anything so why not have fun while you still can, and the gambling aspect means there's a tiny chance you'll hit big if you're lucky!

Sorry, I meant them, as in I legit have no idea who originally owned that channel.

David Jalbert 🦥 @davidjayindie.bsky.social · 17h

I was legit thinking "if you don't get it, there's no point in trying to explain it to you"

More often than not, less is more!

This prototype is gorgeous, it's a shame you shelved it, but I'd be a hypocrite to blame you for it 😅

David Jalbert 🦥 @davidjayindie.bsky.social · 18h

That was quite a heartbreaker.

Is that actually a thing right now to have more and more gaming websites and creators straight up get into gambling?

Nevermind the fact it's a terrible hobby to have in general, but it's pretty telling about the current economy when that's what's most profitable.

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)
