Having an absolute exhausting day and I did a thing a few weeks ago that I was supposed to get a pretty hefty chunk of change for and....it's just not showing up. Sigh.

I feel like god's joke on me is making my really into plane games but having some part of my brain missing that gets too easily disoriented to properly use pitch/roll/yaw controls

I don't have really the bandwidth to keep up with njpw (or even indies) any more but dear god do I love coming across random clips Boltin Oleg is the most entertaining dude to watch perform FEATS

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Hey, Jess, you've made a character and fleshed out his backstory a bit, what are you going to add to that to round it out? Angst and trauma so I can make this old man suffer.

if we're complaining about Mass Effect: it's fucked up that the guy who's in charge of all the Reapers is named Harbinger and the guy who's supposed to open the way for the other Reapers is named Sovereign

This is what gets me sometimes. The cost to the devs in losing a job is only half the impact. There’s a big communal dream with thousands of hours thrown into it and then it’s just nothing. And none of us can talk about it for legal reasons.

I have been at the bar literally dripping tears over what you all will never see now. It was going to be so beautiful. Really. It was so good.

Magician understands the arcane nature of the crimes they’re investigating and has the know how to keep the vampire from eating them, vampire is the muscle and the tracker.

I just think having to go over a grisly crime scene together and they both come out, getting some fresh night air and the vampire’s been in a room that’s been reeking of blood for an hour and the mage is tired from going over everything with a fine comb, their guards drop…

with sloppy (but convincing enough) AI vibeclones on the rise, developers now face a future in which a steady stream of pre-release videos, demos, and playtests—the only reliable way to promote and build community—could be their game’s undoing

Bioware closing is a soul-crushing thing. KOTOR is literally why I got into RPGs. I can't recall a game I've played through the story more of. Mass Effect and Dragon Age were both such good series that I'd argue influenced how I run everything. ME2's just *the best*. Fucking hell.

Replaying Wings of Theve's story and I just keep coming back to how Coster is totally my older brother Music lover who doesn't talk a lot but gets really passionate when you engage him? Who feels a lot but doesn't always express it clearly? Subtly one of my favorite characters in the game.

I talk about my sisters a lot more but my brother didn't become my brother until we were both in high school so engaging on each other's terms was a little odd but he's such a sweetheart and this mopey messy-haired quiet guy just is so good

Sports: subjecting yourself to mind-crushing stress for parasocial enjoyment Does it make sense? No. But because they wear violet/teal/gold I will ride or die

Mm. Still feeling bad about this.

This weird little trip into anxiety hell is the fact that I'll have to go looking for a suit for my sister's wedding and I'd rather get a hole in my skull than go through all the weird things I have about trying clothes and being Observed doing that
