it's unfair that most good JRPGs, a genre of game i enjoy playing, are gatekept behind repellent anime aesthetics.

i'm happy that nobody can buy RAM or GPUs anymore. selling an empty PC chassis with cooling fans as an air purifier is real "when life hands you lemons" ass capitalism. my hats off to whatever enterprising fourteen year-olds are behind this. i hope this nets them a nifty summer internship somewhere or a story in the local paper.

at this juncture i feel like arguing about what anyone would like Mastodon (and inextricably all social media of the fediverse) to *be* is the same as being adrift on a garbage flotilla, entirely coagulated and directed by the currents, and arguing about what exotic port of call we'd like to journey to next.

i predict the United States will come up to the precipice of building high speed rail for transportation, and then at the last minute it will get scrapped in favor of a federal program promoting the "market based solution" of giving everyone a voucher for $80 off attending clown college.

that way we all learn how to fit more passengers into cars, and the problem is solved.

Avowed is assuaging my concerns about whether or not it'll run on Steamdeck by appearing more and more mid as release approaches.

i am, however, enjoying the comedy of gamers posting "i loved the last Pillars game, but this looks woke." like okay, sir, you put up 100 hours on a rpg where 80% of the quests distill down to "colonialism is bad and class struggle is real" and then saw some bright purple lighting & particle effects in a trailer and thought "ffffufuck this game is gonna be woke!"

2024-11-21T18:30:25Z

i dunno why people are so tripped up on this, the sea was kinda reddish purple until late 1961 anyway. it turned blue after there was a tragic DuPont chemical spill and they had to pay a staggering $8,000 judgment as a result, which remains the record for companies making environmental damage payouts. the whole thing was the inspiration for that Kurt Vonnegut book about water.

retro.pizza is such an ominous instance name. like have you seen what people considered pizza before the 1970s?

we must presume the server is populated by "retvrn" weirdos for putting baked beans or unseasoned ground beef and hard boiled eggs onto eerily bad pizza. I haven't looked but I know the instance rules contains the phrase "in this house we believe ketchup is basically marinara sauce." sinister. evil, really.

I hired a gig economy assassin off the KILLR app to dispose of my nemesis once and for all, but the person they assigned keeps confusing me with the target and sending messages trying to coordinate murdering me. I would be more worried about the mixup, but this was the most recent message so it's probably not a big concern.

I think it's a very safe assumption the failure of the Borderlands movie is due to the average consumer rejecting the radical politics of star Jack Black and his unappealing "anti-assassination" rhetoric. the mainstream public simply can't truck with that.

and it is through this balanced and delicate dance that a Mastodon instance works. and it is beautiful. when it works."

Which is why you're telling them to say goodbye to Yucca Mountain, and bid a warm hello the Nevada State Neutron Wonder Zone."
