a tumblr post reads "been listening to the knuckles raps from sa2 while pretending to not know the music is from a video game and i highly recommend the experience. really good from the perspective of a normal rapper who talks about ghosts trying to kill him and his ability to telepathically detect gemstones in the earth"
a reblog reads "i did this once while driving a classmate who knew nothing about sonic to college and she said in full seriousness 'it's so sad that he feels like he can't depend on anyone but himself'"

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com β€” it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand πŸ”₯

We're so tired of posting these screenshots...

But this was today's vote against the Right to Food motion from @seanorr.bsky.social which merely proposed to study the feasibility of using City-owned land for a community grocery store.

Election Day is October 17th.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, β€œneed groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, β€œeh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

CRTs were curved to create the distinction between reality and the world of online & television, a bubble that you couldn't pop. modern screens are flat = no protection from the germs that propagate in the airwaves

A broken, blue heart

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

archaelund is great. elevator pitch: if betrayal at krondor were set on vvardenfell

open world first person exploration with tactical grid combat, very evocative list of classes. the combat starts very dull but gains a lot of texture within a few hours as characters differentiate.
