Wouldn’t it be great if every Congressperson were out there, boosting important spaces like this one?
Such a wonderful week at home! Including our visit to the @tgrcnm.bsky.social. This center is an amazing resource that provides safe spaces to connect, get access to healthcare, casework, housing, and hot meals, a donation closet, and so much more!

Thank you TGRC for the incredible work you do! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️
Yeah, "fancy biglaw firms are unwilling to rock the boat" is not exactly news.
Oh that tree has Secrets
I also have pretty awful dysphoria about it and similarly refuse to use any euphemisms for it.

Hoping that the people at the carol sing at a neighbouring parish listen to me and don't do "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" again this year.

Had to listen to that word while literally sitting in a pew in front of four Inuk children. Totally unacceptable.
Told a YouTuber to stop using the E slur in their video. Now got people telling me off.

Just another day being Indigenous and trying to tell folks to use human decency

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.
okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

gotta be 100 hours of fun gameplay, which you don't usually get in regular AAA games

You need to know that stretches of "this sucks" & "I suck" & "this is impossible" & "it's not worth it" are normal parts of trauma recovery that every survivor experiences.

Don't overreact. Just meet it all w/ compassion, patience, & acceptance, & focus on the next choice point.

considering that back in the day I made a bunch of trope pages that have since become really massive, I'm getting paid for this right?

they're paying the users who did the actual work of making everything on there?
TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea
It's so gorgeous! I have to go back and finish the game.
I'm a simple woman. I want to build, I want to fight things with katanas, and I want to establish the Merchant Empire of Venice along the coast of India.
I think EXPEDITION 33 was 60ish on release, and I bought that.
I buy a hefty chunk of games at full price, but they tend to be from smaller studios. Fromsoft, Supergiant, Paradox, &c. Lots of 30-40 dollar games that I'm extremely happy to pay for.
I largely agree with you; I don't know what the last AAA game I bought was. Probably THE SIMS 4 on sale
That's been Nintendo's go-to since the Wii at the very latest, really. They've never had killer graphics. They have core games that are mostly reliable (Pokemon is an unfortunate exception) and a ton of 3rd party titles of varying quality.
How much is £40 during your childhood in 2025 pounds
You're absolutely right that Nintendo's core business model largely revolves around gameplay rather than appearance, though.
Zelda and Mario games almost certainly should cost $100. 60 dollars for a game like BOTW is wildly cheap.

Definitely fair for you to decide it's not worth it, but if I get 50 hours of high quality enjoyment out of a game, I'm more than happy to put down a hundred dollars for it.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.
