if i ever use this place, i'll be too lazy to separate my sfw and nsfw accounts, so if you have a problem with virtually any taboo fictional content, you may not want to stay. no judgment, just a warning bc i'm not consistent enough to tag properly

I've seen almost nobody talk about it since it launched, but I genuinely have to give kudos to how much The Outlast Trials has grown since launch
It's a shockingly big co-op horror game now. With a new PvP mode as well. A new environment and mission set and villain just rolled out with more to come

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

chuck wendig being Like That about the internet archive and it turning out his books had been checked out--what was it--less than 20 times? ever? was the most pathetic shit
I think if you as a modestly-successful comicker are getting big mad over Libgen having digital copies of your books, take a beat & ask if you really want to spend the downslope of your relevance on a Chuck Wendig metamorphosis arc

I dunno how many people have heard the news about the wrestler who was attacked by a famous MMA guy’s son this weekend, but he’s a friend of ours who helped train and wrestled with my husband at Knokx Pro, his family has set up a GoFundMe for his hospital bills & loss of income while he recovers

maybe my recent obsession w/ cultural defects in the online artist sphere ultimately came from me making a character that became Popular in a tf/2 rp forum, the reckoning i had to do w/ losing creative control of him at a young age, & perceiving a lack of similar formative incidents in others. idk

i know an inordinate amount about south africa for embarrassing (oc-related) reasons so please know that as white genocide shit is being televised by the white house, white south africans, esp. the landowners driving this rhetoric, are still privileged, just not as much as during apartheid.

i dug out my old 2-3DSes recently and i'm sure i knew this when the 3DS was curent, but it's even more obvious now how inferior a console it was. the 3DS takes a minute thirty or so to boot and then load the cartridge. the 2DS hasn't slowed down perceptibly at all despite being a much older console.

it's a real fucking shame that south of midnight released in the current gaming environment. it's a work of art, but since the main character is a Black woman and her identity is important to the plot, it's "woke DEI nonsense". i'd hate to see compulsion games dissolve over this.

not having a good time with artists deciding en masse to astroturf a miyazaki clip where he shuts down a group of game devs for describing the procedural animation they used as "creepy", when those movements reminded miyazaki of his disabled friend. THAT is what he feels goes against life itself.

Every time I mention Pyre is my top Supergiant game, I get about a 50/50 split on 'What? That game sucks.' and 'Hell yeah, that game owns.' responses.
There is something inherently polarizing about its design. If a 3-on-3 wizard basketball league visual novel sounds like it'd be your thing, get it.

RESOLVED: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is so much more expressive and therefore preferable than 🤷
