Round two.

today's chore playlist music selection: "Zombie Compromise" by Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet, best known for doing the theme song to Kids In The Hall. some of the riffs here remind me of the Del-Aires, who appeared in MST3K ep "Horror at Party Beach" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgmu...

Good afternoon, y'all. ☕

I get secondhand fury when I bump into videos by Black ballerinas and see the ever-present micro-aggressive comment "Some advice ... since I can tell you're not classically trained. Love your dancing!" Gurl, they are ALL classically trained. 60% of them are in major companies. You're just a racist.

Just want to reiterate how much of a problem this is. Check out how simple this exploit is. Basically, this means when you click a malicious link, anyone can SILENTLY download and execute ANYTHING as admin on your PC. Click a link, that's it, nothing else. And you can't stop Asus bloatware.

Crysis 2 Remastered, VRChat, and Tiny Troopers Global Ops all got improvements on the #SteamDeck with the newest Proton Experimental update: steamdeckhq.com/proton-exper...

Hmmm most minor? I had Justin Bieber hold a door open for me at a local business.

I play video games in the morning while cuddling the baby and I regret to inform everyone that she doesn’t sleep through Cyberpunk the way she did Baldur’s Gate 3 and Clair Obscur

Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande are beauties for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.’

Finished act 1 of Expedition 33 yesterday and I’ll be starting up act 2 in just a couple of minutes. If you’re very thorough and meticulous in RPGs or games in general, trying not to miss anything, expect to be overleveled by a fair bit.

Making video games is (very) hard work.

At the game today, the mariners have an entire section dedicated to making fun of Australia - kangaroo court - including this Jumbotron break dancing for 3 minutes straight. No idea…

Sabrina Carpenter urges fans to join her in donating to the National Immigration Law Center amid on-going ICE protests

I don't say this enough I feel like, but thank you so much, those that tell me they look up to me. I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought often this past year that I should just give up voice acting and flee to Canada or something, but on days like that it's you all that keep me going. ❤️

So there's a lot of incredible central and east Asian food in Calgary specifically a lot of Chinese and Indian food. A popular western Chinese dish was created here called Ginger Beef that I highly recommend trying!

I'm about to say something incredibly controversial, but the truth needs to be heard The food in Calgary is better

For those who say going to protests tomorrow are useless cuz what change will they affect? Why sit next to your dying parent in the icu if you aren’t a doctor? What the fuck are you going to do? Let some people know tomorrow they aren’t alone.

Because sometimes you just need a dopamine hit and my god this hits real, real good.

WORD PROCESSING HAS NEVER BEEN SIMPLER

Woof, Zohran Mamdani ate Cuomo UP in that debate. Thank heavens for politicians who are willing to keep hammering his list of sins. When he decided to comment on Mamdani's "lack of experience" I truly don't think he was prepared to have his "experiences" listed back to him and he lowered his head.🤣

Been thinking about this song in solidarity with los angeles these days. Lyrics: genius.com/Los-illegals...

is there a box I can tick on my estimated tax form that says “but don’t use this to buy weapons for those ethnostate genocidal cunts”. asking for a friend.

If I could wake up to even a few more subs that would make me so happy 🥺🫶 I have big plans to make a proper comeback 💖 Patreon.com/vampireghuleh #promosky

This is why forums and the old internet are still important.

This is why I didn’t circulate the posts going around earlier—I couldn’t find a credible on the ground source. Please try to be discerning about what you share, even when (especially when) you want to help.

Where the fuck is Punch Out for the Switch

How's the switch version of thousand year door I never played it

This. You don't HAVE to go, there's plenty of debates about doing whatever will best support the movement and it all being important (suffragists vs suffragettes), but if you wanna go? Go. There'll be babies n old folk, it'll be ok. (they'll leave before shit gets real, you can follow em it's fine)

And when speaking to game developers, we like a little narrative experience. It's fine to use Twine. Any time we're in a meeting we're like uggghhhh this could have been a narrative experience.

I knew he faked it!

You may think fandom being horrible is some modern thing, but like all things we have always been here.

a taste at its headwaters is a simple molecular bond; and so each bond made in the world must have a flavor, whether it is experienced or not; the lemony tang of deionization.

or rather; always there is a nostalgia for things that once were, you may call it nausea but it is not something society will ever resolve for it is the dream of once being dust and rain.

i got a delta rune for u △

you may think ah, I cannot be transformed from what I am and be content, but you were once the mountains and rain and yet you are contentable now despite your trasmogrification.

6 years ago today, Madonna released ‘Madame X.’

A year ago today, Normani released ‘DOPAMINE.’

Donald Trump turns 79.

Blue Archive and VTubers have the biggest fandoms,  at least according to how many booths they command at the next Comic Market:

its very funny to read about white supremicist morons spouting on about genetic disposition towards low time preference while destroying the world with climate change. such tiny brains :[

After playing through the game, I feel like Ran Ibuki would've been crazier if she WASN'T as crazy about Ann Sakura. It felt like the game was setting up an expectation about her true nature, but nope. She's a real wifeguy, and it 100% makes total sense why she's like that

Do not join stream otherwise I’ll be very happy Twitch.tv/sobrie_

going directly from a sega master system rpg to a modern bells and whistles remake is so funny. oh you died somehow i’m so sorry sir would you like a convenient autosave or an instant respawn… and would you like your balls sucked or just gently massaged…

Dosa Divas is good stuff man. Fun, snappy turn based combat with a fun premise/world. Outerloop Games getting better with each release.

Me watching my mom tell something I clearly told her was a secret:

Time to test if my new silicon bottom ice cube trays let me make one step of my frappes a little easier. First batch freezing.

Taylor Swift shares sweet moment with a patient at children’s hospital today.

I'm having an interesting experience with the Nightreign videos, which is that they're underperforming with subscribers but are performing well on every other metric. So I guess there are still some longterm Souls fans who aren't fully sold on it yet.

EAT SHIT @mamavitelli.bsky.social

hd 2d games be like what if they were just like you remember them from the 90s. but everyone took approximately three thousand times longer to walk across the screen

added mullets to my boy and he looks 100% nicer, dang I wish I had added this before recording the video lol (actually I just moved the back part of his hair to the front, since the coat was hiding most of it, still think it looks better) shirtless version as a bonus for y'all

Ran into RDJ in an LA airport shop. Dude was very kind and asked if minded if he went ahead of me cause he was boarding soon.

Part of me wants to take the “less is more” approach to makeup, part of me wants to try go full 2016 glam more often lol

Yes, that is a Kong surfing on a rock. #DonkeyKongBananza comes to #NintendoSwitch2 on July 17.

Got up at 8am today, mowed the lawn, drove down to photograph some big structures in WV, came back, took a nap. I have no idea what day it is but it was a good one of those.
