Novel elevator pitch: In a world where you can buy superpowers, a high schooler fakes a school shooting for attention.

What day was Maractus Day, yesterday? I can't tell, I've been stuck inside for quite a while! >w< And you can make it longer~ You have 7 days to formlock me into a squeaky Maractus!~ 💚 = 3 hours 🔁 = 6 hours 💬 = 12 hours (As much as you'd like~) 2 months, and I'll become a permablimp! >//<

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

@smitegame.bsky.social I am not able to purchase god tokens because it says "already own all gods". I do not own all gods and have enough coins. Also submitted a bug report

They really added AI features/subscriptions to Notepad. You know, Notepad: the program that's supposed to be simple? That doesn't even have a wordcount function?

TIL about Joe Martin: a silent film actor with over 100 credits, he also happened to be an orangutan. He escaped from captivity on multiple occasions, assaulted employees in defense of women, and even attended a screening of his own movie.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

@smitegame.bsky.social the balance in the game right now is embarrassing. There's a handful of gods that are far above everyone else. Lifesteal and healing is absurd, despite reintroducing anti-heal. I know you can do better than this.

@megacrit.com Is the regent from slay the spire 2 intended to be trans/non-gender-conforming? Or am I just really misinterpreting his (slightly) feminine death wail and the curves in his shirt? To be clear: it's great if that was the intent! I just don't want to misinterpret the situation.

#Smite2 is so badly balanced it is comical. There's a handful of gods that are so insanely above everything else in the game. Lifesteal and healing is brokenly overpowered, despite the reintroduction of anti-heal. Smite 1 had its flaws, but it was sometimes balanced, mostly.

I was invited to a text roleplay/TTRPG server. I've mostly done in person RP. Any tips? As both player and GM

A big problem of AI is classic Telephone (the children's game). It needs to summarize its own data, to hold it in memory. But that summary can never have fidelity to what was summarized. That's just how language works.

Touch-starved AND touch-averse: the Millennial experience

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

ICE officers will be used as security for February’s Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, despite opposition from Italian government officials.

periodic reminder to delete the AI folder after MSFT Office's update if it doesn't let you delete it bc it's "open" somewhere, go to your task manager, close every instance of Office, and try again (even if you think you've deleted it, take 5 seconds to check and make sure it didn't reinstall)

I was willing to give Highguard a chance, despite the overwhelming negative hype. But having both Easy Anti Cheat AND requiring Secure Boot? Probably reduced the playerbase by 50% just from requiring Secure Boot. I'm a big nerd, and I have never done it before.

I know ASCII and text emoji are out of fashion. But here's one of someone with 2000s bangs covering one eye: (/_-)

Tonight is opening night for my first stage role! May there be many broken legs 🦵

Me writing a letter of recommendation: I glazed you so hard, this email could be on pornhub

CALIFORNIA: “Crops ready to be harvested were abandoned - left to die in a field simply because there wasn’t enough labor… workers are showing up less because of (Trump’s) ICE raids.”

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

We need the support now more than ever, we have to move out of our apartment in one week and have no idea where we're going to go or how we'll support ourselves. Please give whatever you can. www.gofundme.com/f/help-famil...

Borderlands 4 needed fixes for console: Starting controller settings, sensitivity esp FOV slider Fix glitches in menu w/cursor Redo menu system so it's not cursor and normal More remapping options. Let me swipe on touch pad to pick a weapon. I want to swap weapons with d pad Stutter in cutscenes

What a strange career arc. You get a book published, and it ends up in the Dollar Tree

Being allosexual sounds exhausting

Rotom is definitely a lil' guy. But Is Rotom also a commentary on the mercurial nature of one's physical form?

I love Borderlands as a series... but I would love it more if Randy Pitchford just never spoke in public ever again.

Marriage equality isn't achieved until disabled people can marry without losing their benefits.

I have given Smite 2 a lot of leeway. But the server infrastructure and UI is genuinely indefensible. I get kicked out of game because of lag. I rejoin (after several tries/minutes). Then—as I'm playing the match I rejoined—I get kicked because I am not allowed to play because of "deserter penalty"

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not. That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions. If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

Where is the line between fan-made content and "official" content?

It's insane that capitalism has monetized aesthetics, while also devaluing artists, right? Like I'm not taking crazy pills, am I? This shit is fucked.

Joey did a 180 so hard the Lolita Express had to re-calculate its flight path.

Dear #YouTube, Maybe the reason people are blocking your ads so much, is because they are so numerous and intrusive. Forcing people to click the skip button, or play a 30 minute ad? Four ad breaks in a 13 minute video? Ads at beginning, end, and auto-inserted at black screens? Come on.

Had my first foray into the BoardGameGeek marketplace. Fantastic experience, fair prices, polite people. More people should be using this.

Hello Everyone -- We have an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. Please read the statement below:

MagicCon Las Vegas 2025 is around the corner and you’ll find me with prints, playmats, and proofs. While I won’t be taking on site commissions, I’ll be bringing a stack of presketched artist proofs; a closer look at them as we approach June 20-22, hope you’ll stop by and say hi!
