when you post a video that sparks joy in you in the gc and nobody interacts with it 🥀

genuinely feel like the spare tire in my friend group ngl. four best friends forever and also me

the problem with these discord status prompts is I'd be answering a question no one else can see. and that sucks because they're usually pretty fun prompts. it's like if I tweeted the word "Minecraft" with no context.

really good feeling to come up with lyrics to a song while at work, get the chance to quickly record them on your phone, listen back on the way home and go "whoa this actually has a lot of potential... I need to make a full version of this"

Look, no hate to the author, but this is such a non-issue it actually bugs me. Yeah, Sora can use a gun. Everyone can in battle royale. If it makes you feel any better, everyone is technically a hologram and they derezz when health reaches zero. They don't bleed out and die clutching their wounds.

Wrote about my feelings on Sora with an AR-15. I lament the decline of publishers Giving A Shit about brand image, and how this crossover is a quiet admission that KH's crossover magic no longer holds the lustre it once did in our post-MCU, Fortnite world: www.respec.net/feature/224-...

Secondly, there are no real-world guns in Fortnite, they're fictional cartoon guns. There is no AR-15 in Fortnite. Implying there is just screams "video games cause school shootings raaahh". It's ignorant and annoying. It's fine if Fortnite isn't your thing, but don't ruin this for the rest of us.

And like, I publish covers and remixes of game music myself! I wanted to collaborate with GameChops someday, and I published a cover of Pigstep through Distrokid that performs pretty well, which gave me motivation to make more covers like it! But with these takedowns, is it even worth it to try?

So a ton of my favorite video game music covers are being taken down off YouTube, and because of the AI allegations, it feels morally wrong to give Cutman, an artist I admired and aspired to one day work with, my condolences, let alone my financial support. The whole situation is just heartbreaking.

so it seems that gamechops, my favorite music label that publishes amazing covers of game music in a variety of genres I enjoy, is in deep trouble on a couple different fronts at once. not only is YouTube being YouTube and doing DMCA takedowns on a ton of works published under the label...

the guy in charge of it all, DJ Cutman, recently released a track he collaborated on which features blatant AI-generated album art. I don't know if there's hard evidence for this next point, but people are saying he's been generating his music with Suno AI as well.

I came across a really cute #fanart of #Ralsei from #Deltarune and decided to practice more drawing using it as a reference pic. I think I'm getting better at this 😊 original artwork by Spaicy: x.com/Spaicy_Proje...

PSA: great news for people with outdated or embarrassing Gmail addresses, you can now change them without making a whole new account.

the fact that fortnite only lets you customize sidekicks once per purchase was a truly evil decision

So one of the apps I can't install with my new privacy-focused OS is my bank app, which wouldn't be a deal breaker, but I can't even use the website for it without authenticating with the app. So I'm completely locked out without it. Guess I'm reinstalling stock android.

GrapheneOS is pretty cool ngl. minor issues here & there, due to Google being declawed and put in a little corner where it has nearly no control over my phone, so there's a couple apps i can't install (like.. Subway?? lol no clue why) but otherwise it's normal android but with extra privacy controls

well i decided to practice drawing after a lovely artist friend gave me some encouragement, so here's a squishy little minecraft pig i keep on my desk. he was four dollars at a local con and he makes me smile :)

the struggle

i was devastated when i looked up if skipping a song negatively affects it in my algorithm because apparently it DOES... and i'm like. THAT'S WHAT THE THUMBS DOWN BUTTON IS FOR. WTF

Done. Got all my data transferred to better places. Search ➡️ DuckDuckGo Keep ➡️ Obsidian Drive/Photos ➡️ MEGA Gmail ➡️ Proton YouTube w/ ads ➡️ ReVanced📱 + uBlock Origin & SponsorBlock💻 and soon: Stock Android on Pixel 10 ➡️ GrapheneOS And I was always on team Firefox ❤️‍🔥

I've actually really enjoyed spending the evening installing extensions and hacks to make the free version of YouTube even more enjoyable than what Premium offered me, tbh. I'm also looking into total replacements for pretty much everything else right now. Email, note taking apps, cloud storage, etc

You killed iGoogle, and I did not leave you. You killed Play Music, and I did not leave you. You erased "Don't Be Evil", and I did not leave you. You killed Google Assistant. And I still did not leave you. But then you killed my YT Premium family plan, and when I tried to start anew, you said no. 👋

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

oh to experience dqx with friends for the first time again. this video is magical

announcement: i am going to keep doodle commissions open until july and then i will be closing them for the foreseeable future. if i open them again they will be at a higher price so now's the time to get one if you want one!! they are only $10 each

Not to simp for the corporation or anything but I'm personally not upset about there being no disk in the box. It would be a waste of materials. They're not going to fit the entire game on a single Blu-ray. Also I know 80 dollars stings but realistically, AAA games couldn't stay at 60 bucks forever.

Rockstar Games announces Grand Theft Auto VI will be $79.99. It revealed a more expensive Ultimate Edition, pre-order timing, and that the physical version does not include a disc. gameinformer.com/2026/06/24/g...

just discovered the existence AND tragic fate of "Recovery of an MMO Junkie", a manga that sounds right up my alley but was abruptly cancelled with no conclusion to the story.... i feel like i've just watched a stranger be hit by a car... i didn't know you, but i mourn you deeply...

Well, it's been a long journey, but I finally got my first mastery on RetroAchievements: Dragon Quest VIII for PS2. My favorite game of all time is always fun to revisit, but this has been a uniquely rewarding experience and I'll never forget it.
