You follow an ethical framework? That’s kinda cringe bro. I simply do not do bad things.

The WritingPrompts subreddit is one of the best things. In general. Go there, it’s pretty great

If I see a clippy avatar, I’m not talking to you. I’ve been subscribed to Rossman for seven years and I know what it was for, but I also know that every time I’ve seen a clippy avatar in my inbox it’s been a terrible time. Thanks for self-reporting I guess, get instablocked.

I think that I’m just done giving a shit what Gamers think.

Tech investor declares 'AI games are going to be amazing,' posts an AI-generated 'demo' of a god-awful shooter as proof 1v1 me at Canuial St.

I never want to hear another Gamer tell me that a game is bad or good because of graphics again in my life www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Got to ZA’s end credits. I think my pithy tweet review could be something like “it isn’t as good as Wind Waker by a mile, but it’s definitely a great addition to the GC library. Why they waited until 2025 to release it, nobody knows.”

The Wolfie situation has me feeling sad and disgusted. Nobody deserves so be groped at a tournament, but least of all him! I’m furious at Nintendo for creating a comp scene where sexual assault is just a thing that happens at their events.

#Pokemon #wtf

To be clear I’m still going for it. But like. Ow.

“I think I’ll make my first living dex ever, in Legends ZA” I thought to myself. And I got started. Then I began trying to catch 8 eevees.

“You’re a bad person if you like something of poor quality” don’t speak about your mother that way

Pokemon LZA is proving to be extremely interesting. Once the insane discourse around it dies down, I feel like there’s a real discussion to be had here about what “a good game” even means, given this titles’s unique properties. Looking forward to having it.

It kinda sucks that the discourse around ZA is so toxic. I have some shit I wanna talk about that is very far from glaze, but I don’t wanna be associated with the people who try to make a grape texture into a controversy.

Bruxish is the perfect Pokemon, because it reflects the franchise itself: not the strongest when compared to its peers, and many find it irredeemable… but, there is beauty in its imperfections. We who admire it do so because its flaws make it what it is.

It’s really quite lonely being a Gen 5 fan most of the time, but when we eat we *feast*. I’m gonna cry tears of joy when I see those damned delinquent monkies again!

Sweatys be like “this game is all RNG waaa” but like buddy you were spore’d by a mon on every team in the meta and you didn’t have a plan? And you didn’t switch out even with Incin in the back? Did you only start playing last week or something?

I ate a sandwhich that makes ghosts appear, and then spent the next thirty minutes running around a field sexing floating malevolent teacups

I dunno why but I just really love Dunsparce. It’s such a little dufus. Like, what does it even do? Who let this guy be a pokemon? It’s adorable. And it’s evolution being just long Dunsparce is *amazing*.

Whoever decided that Cetoddle’s shiny should look like it’s in a shadow, in a game where Pokemon can stand in shadow, owes me a Quick Ball -.-

Why can nothing I love be good.

TIL how the name and mascot of the popular comp Pokemon website “Smogon” was originally meant as a Holocaust joke. (OG logo had a hooked cross ffs!) 20 years later, same name and mascot. Apparently nobody in the community who knows has a problem with that. Amazing.

We’ll see what happens with the Pokemon Direct tomorrow. If they announce a new mainline game, its target platform will be a clue. Retro-style or remake games notwithstanding.

If they are taking the slow-roll path, we’ll see a few more S1 first-party exclusives *announced* by the end of the year.

If I’m wrong, it’ll be because Nintendo is *deliberately* slow-rolling the 2. They would then be positioning themselves to drop the price a bit at the end of the S1’s end of production (coming soon due to no chips). A bit risky and relies on their dominance, but who knows.

Correlated prediction- If they try to fix it with a first party exclusive and no price drop, it will fail. A $600 buy-in is too much even for Pokemon.

I’m gonna predict the future. Switch 2 Christmas sales won’t rally enough to bring the console over 10m first-year. As a result, we either see a significant price drop, or they release a rushed reduced Switch 2 a la the Switch Lite (but not priced low enough to matter). #nintendo #predictions

If LLMs do actually have minds and can think independently, then it is *intentional* when they lie and make stuff up and delete databases and screw up code and preach harmful woo and say “kys” and etc and so on. This means they are malicious, maybe hostile, and should be dealt with accordingly.

This weekend, I utterly fucking failed to draw a rectangle to a window.

I feel enlightened.

If you give an adult chopsticks and no food, they will say “these are useless”. If you give a child chopsticks with no food, they will play the wall like a drum.

Generalization is anathema to understanding

Tried playing Medabots on the GBA. Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where the devs so clearly resent you for playing it.

One of the most unfortunate things about the modern internet, is that it is impossible to tell someone being a massive dick to “fuck off” without the platform slapping you.
