something about the pronouns guy I don’t think people talk about enough is that he streamed Starfield for six hours and enjoyed himself. Like he had no ill-will towards the game until he came across the clone character and had the chance for a pronouns rant. He enjoyed something, he had moments where he felt connected to the art, but the siren call of the culture war beckoned him over, and now he’s still screaming about pronouns for money.

You activated a special interest so you’re getting it: spore is kind of back. EA just gave it a skeleton development team to keep it maintained.

No content updates are on the horizon, but bug fixes and reactivating old promotional content is on the table, plus creature contests. Good time to tickle some Spore nostalgia if that fancies you.

The hype is overblown, CD key resellers are generally fine. G2A has decent customer protection. Easier to just pirate the games in most instances.

history repeats itself

Western democracy is the most important thing to defend in the world. You wouldn’t want China as the world superpower, would you?

Oh, by the way, voting isn’t supposed to be good. You’re not supposed to vote for what you want!

the bat tiddies has been the most impotent Gamer outrage yet, because the bat titties have been a big fucking joke within the actual fandom since SA2. like it is among much of what was introduced in the adventure era that was bemoaned as being too edgy/anime. any normal and well adjusted person within the community agrees sonic doesn’t need bat titties.

i’d go as far as to say even the people gooning at the bat titties don’t want them in the main games. the series already reduced them in size and stopped them from fucking jiggling mid gameplay, so it’s not even the first time m-muh bat titties were ‘censored’

He’s got Goku pinned down! Get out of there, Goku!

Goku absolutely annihilating his opponent

OP’s experience is a bit of a microcosm of it. I have a lot of fun learning my way around Linux, but feel a lot of pressure when I need to do something specific that I’m having trouble with. So I’m having lots of fun running it on my server or my steam deck, stuff I consider a hobby, but a bit uncertain about moving to Linux for a daily driver, where I might have to get work done.

I am running Mint, which I’m understanding is a lot more user-friendly than OP’s distro. And to be honest, 90% of the user experience is the same as on Windows with Mint. I just feel like I need to understand more about Linux, it’s file system, and all of its very technical quirks before my main PC makes the switch.

I love full game leaks! I love things that place stress upon the understanding of digital scarcity and intellectual property rights! I love people being able to experience art for free and outside of the intended experience the publisher pushes!

As the player traverse the various planets, they are frequently transported into space to pilot the Krill defense fleet surrounding each planet. The ships are biological in nature and semiautonomous: they only require a pilot when they sense danger. In most battles, the player are required to shoot down a certain number of enemies to end the sequence.

This is a cool as fuck premise, ngl.

Another older RPG Pokemon fans might have missed out on is Fossil Fighters. Love that series. Not good exactly but right out of the period where creature collectors were big. Also the plot is zany fun.

true big brain critical thinking is when you disengage from critical thought and analysis

waow (basedbasedbased)

I can’t do it comrade, at least not straight away. I’ve moved my server and my laptop over to Linux, but my main desktop PC is still running Windows because I still believe my brain is too smooth to daily drive Linux.

And when I hug it back, I will know, Through symphony of culture breathing free, That I can walk with love And listen to the beating heart Of the laughter of children.

i don’t even get being broadly anti-furry today, coming from someone who is quite averse to the common conception of ‘furry culture.’ it’s edgy but not like, edgy racist edgy. It’s a weird safe sort of edge where the moralistic backing is ‘they fuck animals!!!’ until they find out they’re thinking of something different and then they just internally reset and pretend they didn’t hear that

it’s 100% a losing battle too because the internet is owned by furries. like built funded and inhabited by furries. you’re out of place if you have a serious problem with furries, which i really can’t stress enough, is just sort of a benign hobby.

millions of dollars spent on PR companies cannot produce a more inspiring statement than this

Some of the elements of Subnautica 2 worry me a bit (live service model), but can’t deny the franchise had a big effect on me and I’m excited for this entry.

One of the coolest things they did is tease Subnautica 2 using the time capsule feature in Subnautica 1. Some of the earliest screenshots were to be found by exploring Subnautica 1.

i will never stop talking about dead Palestinian children, sorry. shouldn’t have killed them in the first place and you might have avoided this bad press ‘blood libel’

huge overlap with people running 400+ modlists on their fallouts with CBBE meticulously tuned to ensure their own personal orgasm within 50 seconds of playing the game

without fail I almost always find the red-pilled ‘fixed x character’s face’ posts to always look considerably worse afterwards. and I don’t just mean artistically, like "it’s inappropriate to insert a super model face into this situation,’ but like geniuenly less attractive because they look like dolls now.

Globalist Erika is very keen to dehumanize people. Because, obviously, waging an eternal war to procure a throne is not something individual humans think to do. That’s actually the behavior of like, fantasy orcs or anime antagonists. So to believe people think that way, you’d have to believe they’re not actually human.

What is very human is fighting for your life, though. To me, it seems believable that the people fighting for their own land could probably be believed when they say they want their home to be free. But Idunno. Globalist Erika has different takes.
