I think so often about someone lying that they saw a woman “sorting through her food stamps” at the counter as if they are literal like, postage stamps but for food. People are just lying about seeing people exploit the system and doing so in the stupidest way possible. Bone chilling

Hmmm might be a good next read

“Keep politics out of video games” mfs when the Whitehouse is making their favourite game political.

Not that hypocrisy from the right is even like, worth pointing out any more.

Brogue is SO cool. It’s easily the best intro to old school style rogue-likes.

Everything about it is so smooth. The fact you can make a game like that and have it feel like it has no jank whatsoever is incredible.

Truly a momentous achievement.

Mm fair, great point.

I’ve worded it before as “never network, only engage in communities.” And by that I mean that networking is about what other people can do for you, community is what we all do for each other.

It’s because they hate us and want us dead

This post is a perfect example of someone wording a fundamental concept so well that for a moment it feels like you came up with it or that you always knew it, instead of having learned it right then and there.

I’m a weirdo cus my favourite Zelda is ‘A Link Between Worlds’ and you might think “oh I get it it’s the 3DS one, it must be the only one u had on ur 3DS for your age demographic.” But no I played it last year.

It hits different in a different way when ur the granddaughter of a hong konger who you never met but who was also not allowed to teach her children canto and was encouraged to assimilate.

Like oh my god it’s not a culture I’m “not connected to” it’s one that structures in place denied to my family

Actually, elaborating a bit more.

MTG used to be the best way to explore a unique world. Now it’s always the worst way to explore a world you already know.

Don’t buy FF cards when you can just play FF. Same for fallout, same for watching/reading lord of the rings.

But MTGs world building was ABOUT not knowing! It was small windows into a mysterious world that you ONLY COULD LEARN ABOUT through these small windows.

Universes beyond isn’t *unlike* original MTG worlds, it’s the opposite.

And I hate it.

I truly adore spring so much. It’s not the *blooms* that are amazing, it’s the outpouring of life in general. No season is as drastically new comparatively.

Poorneet is a bit of a rough start to spring with all its wind, it’s true, but there’s another full season of spring before summer proper.

Counter point:

It's literally that easy
