Thinkin bout stuff

Done a lot of work to deprogram Amazon out of my life. So, when an amazon gift card comes into my possession, I’m like “ah, I’ll use this to buy the things I can only find on Amazon! Like… like……..” I’ve been drawing a total blank. Anything I can think of I can find elsewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Today was a chilly, rainy day. Went to a teahouse and discussed books with a best friend. Drove home, admired the autumn leaves. Walked into a warm apartment that smelled divine, my partner was making hearty soup. Later we had red wine and halloween cookies. I did it, I achieved my ideal lifestyle.

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened!” I Contain Multitudes And I Will Do Both

tried salty lemonade (chanh muối) for the first time and that’s what I wish the ocean tasted like

here’s what you gotta do: 1. Sign up for Bluesky 2. Mass follow a bunch of profiles using those collection list things 3. Forget your password, get locked out for ten months 4. Come back and have absolutely zero clue what’s going on with your feed

Big Streaming doesn't want you to know that Kanopy is kind of like Amazon Prime Video except that you have to pay for Prime and Kanopy is free. Oh also Prime shows ads even though you pay for it and Kanopy doesn't show ads even though you don't pay for it. Oh and Bezos doesn't get Kanopy's data.

My coworker, who’s very present and good at her job, has the teams status “Offline: Last seen 8/13” and I think that’s beautiful.

finishing a large paper for grad school, seeing the little emojis on the canvas submit page, getting to close all the tabs and properly shut down your computer for the first time in weeks, what a clean and refreshing feeling

I think about this essay on the reg. Jenna Stoeber’s work has been such an accessible way to explore deeper themes in games, especially in the horror genre. Highly recommend.

All week long I’ve been saying to my husband all giddy: “Ratu and Delilah are gonna have babies!!” as if they’re two girls I knew in undergrad.

watching tele novella music videos and pointing and saying “couples costume idea” at every frame

new steam controller looks great

Rolled credits on EarthBound last night and have to agree with the sentiments—it feels like a game that’ll be overrated, but then you play it and discover it is severely underrated.

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

“Eating candy corn feels like eating wax” Yes! Good! Exactly! Do you know how many scented candles I’ve had that I’ve desperately wanted to eat?

Can’t wait for someone from my hometown to name their twins Brooklyn and Brokkyn

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

EYYYYYYYYYY

If you wanna know how we are doing, we just added 2% milk to our grocery list and my first thought was “wow a special treat”

Experimental Post: Wiggler Wednesday I have compiled a collection of obscure facts about Wiggler in Super Mario 64.

How I feel when I do the thing that was giving me a problem in silksong:

I require one (1) Bell Beast Plushie please and thank you

some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I simply would not do the contest that is a long walk.

I’m cursed to forever think Addison Rae is saying “Costco chains” in Diet Pepsi

We've acquired the historic game magazine Computer Entertainer. As in, we got the rights. We own the magazine. And we're putting it into the Creative Commons for anyone to use for free. Learn more: gamehistory.org/computerente...

An annoying thing about being a gaming scholar is that there’s no standardization of if it’s “video games” or “videogames”

The Crock Pot is one of the only times when real life works like video game crafting. You dump in some powders and the remains of several vile birds and out comes hot delicious food

The spider sequence in undertale is widely disliked but why is the song Spider Dance such a banger

Trying to emulate AnyAustin’s hair clip look and am running into cowlick-related catastrophes

When I’m getting writing fr so I gotta move the boneless keyboard to the side.

I can’t be invited to weddings! I fall in love with everybody.

tbh there are some meals I hope ARE forever on the hips. I've eaten some incredible food and my ass should reflect that.

I need a shirt for @pewpewbang.bsky.social that says “I’m not a plane guy!” In the colors and font of the logo

We need a positive counterpart to "drinking the Kool-Aid." In honor of Guy Fieri's public redemption, I propose "dippin' the Donkey Sauce," for the experience of opening yourself up to new experiences and ideas you had previously rejected
