Took the bus across town with @newkillerstar.bsky.social to see The Devils in an arthouse theater. Had a big bag of greasy popcorn and a plastic cup full of wine. Watched a guy do swordplay with a stuffed crocodile. Bros behind us were laughing at inappropriate shit Ah, Ken Russell, you British nut
It's a dial up modem sound and the longer you chain ring pickups the longer the static continues, eventually dumping you into the hidden Prodigy bonus stage.
what if they made a new mainline Sonic game that was genuinely really good, like they finally nailed it, except the ring sound effect was different

Fuck Gavin Newsom. He is a wannabe billionaire who is already worth more than $30 million. He doesn't give a damn about you. VOTE Yes on Prop 40 to tax the billionaires. Vote NO on Props 41 and 42. And ignore all the propaganda from Planned Parenthood leadership. They're just like Gavin:
If you sent me a screenplay with this in it, I'd assume you were a hack writer and toss it on the fire.
In-N-Out patrons are reportedly turning to a Facebook Marketplace black market for delivery, which the chain does not offer. Some drivers are allegedly charging up to $50 extra upfront and never delivering the food.

I make soap, sourdough, and soda (with rare woodworking projects), write fiction and retro game history, and otherwise engage in a monastic lifestyle (day drink and fight bums outside the 7-11)
Happy #PortfolioDay to you all; I write fiction, draw things in both physical sketches and digitally, create mods for old PC games, and write my own websites by hand. Here is just a small sample. Details and direct links in the img-alt-texts! 🌐: netizen.club/~wildweasel/ 📧: wild.weasel@gmail.com
I remember years after I left the media, Dan Hsu wrote a blog about how a Certain Company was selling ad space for favorable coverage. Many game media types called him out for it and he slowly crossed all their companies off the list, basically leaving the one I worked for.
the stupid thing was: the consumer games press DID have unethical marketing mouthpiece relationships with the industry. the e3 / spike tv / actiblizz / doritogate conglomerate and the payola-dominated masculine corporate culture had a stranglehold on what got made and how it could be discussed --

Have hated Newsom for years. Anybody who likes this guy is outing themselves as not paying attention.
Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.
I've always felt a bit alone in saying I don't mind translations that use cultural mimesis, because there's such a vast difference between Western and Eastern thought, especially humor. Hardcore fans are so fucking weird and I blame them for this shit.

You all deserve a union. And I have severe complaints about mine but we need unions and co-ops and for automatic cars to crash into Amazon fulfillment centers and
This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

We've recently seen far right conservatives value freedom of speech over their clearly fake anti-pedo stance with AI generated CSAM, so I'm predicting we're going to circle back to 2002 with distinctions between proper and improper (gay) child molestation.
Fox News gave Dennis Hastert, whom a federal judge called a “serial child molester,” a warm “In Memoriam” sendoff.
