it cannot be stated enough, valve has the goddamn sauce.

deadlock street brawl is basically a perfect mode for a MOBA game. better than classic ARAM because your random is on items not heroes, round-based so that items and power spikes can rebalance on the fly, shorter than any MOBA thing ever so not tilting and yet somehow still satisfying to play

hiya

if the games industry still exists in five years it’s going to be crazy seeing all the half-baked Deadlocklikes set new records for how short-lived a live service game can be

sending good energy your way, hope things take a turn for the better soon

coconuts are the most classic thing to be desiccated, I think

the "lock-in" meme of a drawing of a person sitting and holding a controller with a shadow frame of them leaning forward and getting serious

absolutely in love with the image in my head of her seeing this on screen and locking the fuck in

I like the idea of slack jawed coming back but to specifically mean the type of person to remind the teacher we have homework and making everybody's life worse but specifically in Slack channels

the classic mnemonic we all follow: ABIYP (pronounced "a beep" for easy remembering)

photo of a heavily worn piece of lined paper deeply creased from being folded in half multiple times over for many years. it says “scyther hunt” in messy pencil writing at the top and every line is completely full of pencil tally marks counting up to 100 per line. there is a note of misplaced hope in the top right corner about preferred natures

did some digging in an old box of random stuff and found a completely different paper recording my attempts to get shiny scyther from FR/LG game corner lol. also full front and back, 5900 attempts

fun seeing all of the exhausted shiny hunting talk around the firered/leafgreen ports, takes me back to when I soft-reset hunted rayquaza in sapphire and recorded my progress with tally marks on a piece of paper (which I filled front and back (10,000+ resets) and never got the shiny rayquaza)

I love Sony because they’ll make the most beautiful, functional digital camera you’ve ever seen and name it like this verytallbart bit

they may kill me for saying this but we rewatched all the star wars prequels and tbh I think they’re good and fun movies

thank you all for 1 quadrillion followers 🙌

real time I think. if I want to read it and have to keep refreshing it that’s annoying in one way and also if I wanted to skip it but it keeps getting bumped to the top of my timeline that’s another flavor of annoying

"all of my abilities have movement and many come with heals as well" some of us have to buy items for that kind of stuff but okay happy for you I guess

I love all the deadlocks they're all great people but jettison silver and apollo into the sun tbh

photo of an orchestra on stage bathed in yellow-orange light as a projector plays footage above them of Bazelgeuse in Monster Hunter World dive-bombing the player

didn’t get many pictures but the first ever US Monster Hunter Orchestra was amazing and I especially loved the entire crowds knowing shared laughter when the first notes of the Bazelgeuse theme started playing

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

happy birthday to my thing

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

That's an incredible amount of political effort just to persecute 300 members of a disempowered class of people who have done nothing wrong and just want to be left alone to live their lives

"It's like working with a very junior programmer that never learns and never gets better" is the best analogy I've heard from a senior programmer when trying to use LLMs for game development. There isn't any intent or learning from experience.

I can’t drag my attention away from a single chili dog at $8 being considered a special

after four days I think I'm finally almost human again after being more sick than I've been in years. I've spent 90% of this week rooted to a single spot on the bed and it sucked a lot.

block on sight

me: I’ll put some soothing rain on the tv while I sleep 🙂
the shit I wake up to:
