Hi, the political party that is murdering fishermen in boats, starting wars, setting up concentration camps, and killing hundreds of thousands of poor children in developing countries does not in fact give a shit about other people.

Gave Atari 50 another chance when the DLCs were on sale (got to play Xevious for the 1st time). Now playing Tetris Forever and liking it a lot more. Really unusual story, interesting characters, and neat demonstrations of the original software. Atari 50 I kept getting jealous of their cool old jobs.

Finished to my satisfaction. Really great how they got into the nitty gritty of how the games work and how they've changed. Again, trophies are tied to the newly created games, so little incentive to play the old stuff very much. Hatris was cute.

If you ever look awkward in a photo it's because you had to match your pose from a much darker timeline.

Very specific gamer opinion: trophies/achievements shouldn't be tied to alternate endings. Undermines roleplaying to encourage players to redo the ending sections of the game and exposes the actual criteria, which is rarely as complex as you'd think.

I don't really agree with it myself, but I think we need some anti-physical media guys for balance. "Life is impermanence! True beauty is ephemeral! I am nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing. Also, you're going to have to pack up all that shit eventually. Yes disc, no buy!"

Love video gaming like I'm on a cell phone plan in the 90s.

Got advance tickets to see Primetime. The confirmation email told me to bring condoms, lubricant, and some wine coolers. Always looking to make new friends!

The movie was good. I predict it will win zero oscars. Congratulations to Creed Bratton on another year of SAG health coverage.

Blocked a lot of people, so I went through my list to make sure I didn’t get anyone I care about. Surprisingly enjoyable process. Ooo, I remember that one. Oh yeah, that guy. Oh wow, I blocked *all* of those guys for no particular reason. Good move on my part.

Heads up, very weary of even slightly critical posts about the democratic party for the next few months. Currently in the middle of an obviously democrat-vote-discouraging botpile. If I feel the need to reply, I will probably just block going forward.

Current brain-breaking bot political position: "We need to take elected dems to task for not wanting to im🍑 badly enough... which they shouldn't do because it has never worked how dare you." If there's a landslide, expect to see lots of analysis as to why it's bad to remove a dictator, actually.

I know this is rather uncouth, but if you read this and it resonated with you, please repost it. I want more people to know about this condition and to know that someone can be literally one step away from suicide and you can have no idea.

For years I was suffering from a debilitating condition called Sleep Related Painful Erections. I may look happy in this picture, but I was in living hell. Content warning: I get into graphic medical detail, and discuss suicidal thoughts. (Reposted with better header) medium.com/@jameseldred...

I liked the Resident Evil movie. I have one idea that I think would have improved the ending (won't say what it is) that seems so obvious that I wonder if they shot it and it didn't test with audiences well. If not, they could make this change with about $2000 of CG, editing, and a page of VO.
