I watching more of this press conference and boy when Trump's going on about Thanksgiving dinner or Ukraine or whatever you can kinda see Zohran drifting off to his happy place

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

remember in the mayoral debates the two old guys were lecturing Mamdani on how he couldn't deal with Trump and after one meeting he's saying the same stuff he said on the campaign in front of Diddle Hitler who nods and swats away with reporters like the 1st chapter boss who joins the party

Instead, like a coward, he chose to be charming and appealing to Trump's legendary vanity while still calling him a fascist to his face, possibly disarming the evil president's intentions to make life in New York a living hell for poor people for the next three years minimum. What a sellout

Clearly the right thing for Mamdani to have done is to smuggle a pistol into the most heavily guarded building in America, shot the evil president dead and then been immediately executed, thus triggering the biggest crackdown on the left in American history

Trump drooling over Mamdani in the Oval Office the same day Hakeem Jeffries voted to condemn socialism could not be funnier to me

I get people just want to be part of things that are happening so I don't care if people watch the Jeff Awards but can we at least collectively admit already it's just Xmas E3 and stop treating any of the rest of it like it's a real thing

looked up Je'Von Evans Vs Gunther as I knew it would rule and it sure did, especially considering they're both guys I had to grow to like the hard way because goofy IWC talk put me off both of them initially "lololol he hits people so hard FOR REAL" "wow he does the flippest floppy flips ever!!!"

Imploring anyone that can help with the proceedings to lend a hand, but also for anyone unfamiliar with Rebecca's work to watch @stopskeletons.bsky.social's amazing deep-dive into her herculean effort on the Doom 3DO port. Her talents are nothing short of legendary.

*listing up my Dragon Ball Manga set singles* okay I don't want to get dunked on with postage costs sending these out one at a time so let's slightly overprice them but put in a "50% off 10 or more" code

first customer: hello I have purchased 9 cards

one thing I forgot to mention earlier re:Arc is that Eurogamer review is very good and does what it should do: lays out the framework for the criticism and takes a strong moral stance while giving the reader the space to disagree if they don't share it

who cares about Metacritic shit's poison

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit

what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those

making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too

oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things?

seems important

what do you mean the Two Best Friends Play Machinima episodes are 15 years old now I am still a young man start to start university and my back feels great
November 12, 2025 at 2:40 AM
I can't be bothered to line up all the facts to have a real opinion on the Arc Raiders thing other than people are got to get more disciplined on saying "genAI" if that's what they mean and not saying that if it's not
