I'm Derek. I like video games, cosplay, yugioh cards, pokemon go and action figures and staying up to date on what's going on in the world. That's pretty much my life summed up.

"troops had to work out in the hall" you babies were not working out en masse at 11pm. no one was setting up tables at 11pm. if they were, it was your boss' job to ask the mayor to leave. grow up.

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

All a democrat has to do to win the presidency is promise they won't spend all their time talking about people's asses and they probably win the entire thing.

ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR MORGAN FREEMAN: A birth certificate actually does make Dr. Abdul El-Sayed an American, however.

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

I'm so fucking tired of certain gaming websites posting articles about every little thing Asmondgold says. He fucking sucks, I get it. You don't have to keep reminding me how much he sucks.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

These people need to be made unwelcome in the Democratic Party

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Logically I understand that it’s been six years since the launch of the PS5 and Series X so it makes sense for talk of next gen consoles. But also like even if you disregard the absurd electronic prices these days, it just doesn’t feel like consoles games have done anything to necessitate an upgrade

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

Like, we pretty much have a gamer tax at this point and not a single GamerGate lemming has ever talked about it as such because having women and Black people in games is a far bigger problem.

Trump has single-handedly done more to ruin gaming by making it more expensive. Do we just think tariffs haven’t had adverse impacts on the cost to make new consoles including next gen, push out discs, etc? That gets pushed on to us and people like Bo don’t realize that Trump has made that worse.

What I want out of part 5 of the new F/L list. 1. Ban Dragoon 2. Limit Ash 3. Ban Habakiri 4. Ban Witch of the Black Forest or Dark Magical Curtain. Witch seems more likely but either will do.

Is this like the green M&M again.

The "golden age of gaming" isn't one where the vast majority of people who love games can't afford the equipment to play them and where those who make the games get their ideas (and ability to pay rent) stolen from them.

Nintenderek reposted

Yeah, and if it's a golden age for game development, part of that is because more experienced, senior developers are all coalescing into fewer positions at fewer studios.

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

www.ign.com/articles/rep... This is cool and all, but it would never make it through our current congress and even if it did, it would likely get struck down by the Supreme Court. I'm glad there are members of congress thinking about this, but nothing is likely to happen in the United States.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

It sure will be fun to lose to my opponent's one of droll every other game. The rest of the list so far is really good, but droll really should just be forbidden, especially if they are going to get rid of cards like Called By (rightfully so I might add) and not leave any counters to it.

Please note that, despite all Musk’s talk of Mars, that’s not what Starship is meant to do. It’s meant to deliver large numbers of ever more powerful satellites into Earth orbit. Musk currently has unchecked, dictatorial control over the most important battlefield technology. And it will get worse.

Rockstar Games has revealed that it originally intended to develop GTA 6 alongside Red Dead Redemption 2, meaning it was probably meant to come out even sooner than we realized. https://bit.ly/4yUVUh4

Every time I hear about people still playing this, I'm genuinely surprised since nobody near me seems to play it or even care about collecting it. It's one of the biggest games at Gencon every year, yet nobody living in Indianapolis seems to care.

The immutable, unnamed American law of The Dumbest Thing That Can Happen Will Happen dictates that the Democrats will win the House handily, as projected, and take the Senate 51-49, making John Fetterman the most powerful flesh husk in America for the next 24 months.

Republicans are literally hurting games though. If for whatever reason all you care about in the world is video games, you have absolutely every reason not to vote for a republican. This isn't even difficult to figure out the multiple reasons why.
