"Posting" as a method of communication or expressing policy from ones in power (ceo, govt) should be outlawed. Directly responsible for a downgrade in everything they control. It turns policy into performance, communication into quips, playing to and leveraging the power of an audience of millions.

Catching up on the game (strikethrough: trailers) awards and wow, that Divinity video was rough to watch, huh? Maybe I'm getting old but I genuinely had to look away.

There are fine reasons to refuse to watch the game awards tonight, but I'm not yucking anybody's yum for tuning in either. I'll remind, though, that the Lords of the Fallen CEO meddled pre-dev to seriously hamstring the game, leading to its terrible performance and reviews. Then 1.5 years later...

Really hard day. Hormones from estrogen are throwing me for a loop today, the "anniversary" of my dad's death that social media insists on reminding me about, the dog lost his mind about the mail right when I was doing my injection, and then I was crying for an hour straight over it all. Sigh.

Been replaying Silksong (beat it, turned right around to go again), and now I'm doing SO much better. Almost first-tried High Halls Gauntlet before even reaching Cogwork Dancers. Bosses down in 1-3 tries. It's such a stark difference, and I enjoy it all the more.

Me in 2005: "How cool would it be if more games did crossovers!"
Me in 2025: "This is one of the worst things ever."

Every once in a while I try to make a post on reddit for a thing I like, usually something pretty innocuous and safe, and without fail a bunch of contrarian pains in the ass try to start a fight, and I just delete the whole thing.

@samriegel.bsky.social You might think nobody else has noticed Nott doing an Akira slide in the M9 show but I noticed. Kudos.

EVERY single person who talks about lowering the age of consent and how 15 isn't really pedophilia or what the fuck ever has a specific child in mind. If you know somebody who excuses the abuse of kids just because they're post-puberty, get your kids the hell away from them. They have a target.

Can't get Silksong out of my brain (and don't want to: my ringtones and alarms are now all songs, you better believe one is Sherma, and notifications are all Hornet and flea sounds). BRB, gonna work up a TTRPG campaign featuring--

Just beat Silksong (100% 77 hours), a game I gave up on for like two weeks figuring I could never finish it. Which happened to me with Bloodborne, which then became my favorite game of all time (but took like a year to come back). Silksong is now right next to BB; my two favorite game experiences.

Praying to the Etsy Witches on this chilly, spooky night for an All Hallow's Eve miracle. Their power will never be greater.

It really would hurt nobody if Silksong had Celeste-style assist options. Game's too damn cute and interesting to be this off-putting. I'm teetering on the edge of putting it down.

Okay, Silksong, there's friction and then there's whatever that one gauntlet fight is (you know the one). You're too cute to be this venomously off-putting.

Unpopular (?) opinion: Claptrap in the Borderlands series is and always has been fun and funny in as equal measure as he is stupid. The series only veers grating when tons of other characters become as insufferable as he is. He is not the problem.

Watched the Gearbox borderlands-centric live show. Randy Pitchford don't be skin-crawlingly weird challenge level: impossible.

One day (soon, I hope!) we will never, ever again have to hear him say new sentences. Sure, there'll be sound clips, and AI, and imitators, and they will all be bad, and other huge dangers and uncertainties will persist, but. One day you'll wake up and he won't have said anything.

Maybe the best news about Silksong releasing soon is not that we get to play it, but that we're about to have a wave of thicc bug fanart like never before.

Lords of the Fallen 2 will debut at gamescom tomorrow so it's a good time to remind that the CEO marek tyminski is a dumbass who all but killed his own game mid development and is now courting anti-woke right wing grifters. He's a feckless edgelord idolizing asmongold and excusing nazis. Fuck him.

You know, if I could remake one game, could it be Destiny? Like, restart and do the whole 10 year thing again, but leaner, with lessons learned, and with the caveat it can't become an exploitative money machine. Consistency, endgame in mind for the foundation, cohesive plot threads. Would be cool.

Darksiders 4! And you can play as Fury!
You know what THQ just for that I'm gonna replay Darksiders 3. You earned it.
(I would have done it anyway)

With how remake happy studios are, does anybody else think they'll ever remake Destiny and its whole, like, ten year cycle? I fell off long ago but not gonna lie, if they could promise a cohesive, non-exploitative experience from start to finish I'd give it another go.
Never gonna happen, lol.
