I’ve been calling it Handegg for over a decade now. My Handegg-loving friends hate it.

Just when I thought it wouldn’t be possible to view FIFA any more negatively than I already do, I see this headline. Only way it gets worse from here is if they find a way for Nestle to participate in this circlejerk.

I don’t think, for as long as I live, I will ever stop being mad at whoever let Biden on stage in that condition.

To the folks who are keeping up on the story, did the McDonalds snitch ever get that bounty? Because if nothing else, it will feel like justice if that person gets nothing for selling out Mangione to the fucking pigs.

Prison would be too good for these jackboot thugs.

Cut out social media from your life completely. No, I swear to god, this is life changing advice not some boomer platitudes about how kids these days are always in their phones.

You don’t realize how much life you are missing by being completely stuck to your phone. I promise the world will continue to turn if you ignore your phone for a few hours at a time.

Quit Facebook, quit Instagram, quit X, quit TikTok. If you feel like you are bored and want to open the apps, try something else. Read a book, start a creative writing project, listen to music while meditating, play video games, do some woodworking, go for a walk or a hike with your dog, learn a new language, go out to the bar or club and socialize, go to the gym and work out, draw stuff from your imagination.

I promise promise promise you will feel better. Not right away, but very soon after you start doing these things instead of the vapid doomscrolling, shitposting, clout-chasing, self-aggrandizing social media spiral you will realize that you don’t need your phone. You are able to live your best life when you aren’t thinking about what’s being posted online or taking constant selfies or photographing every meal you eat.

Your future self will thank me.

I’m appreciating the silence while it lasts.

If nature has its way, soon we will all become crabs in beautiful carcinization. 🦀

The nemesis system patents and Namco’s loading screen mini game patent are two examples of why game mechanics and features should never be granted an exclusive patent.

Of course Namco’s patents expired in 2015 at a time when seamless load screens had become the industry standard.

Who knows what the gaming landscape will look like when people are finally able to get their hands on the nemesis system again?

Which part of this is favorable for the Soviet Union?

Ukraine isn’t in a favourable position

Been hearing that take for 4 years now. At this point, you’re just trying to wish it into existence every time you say it.

Couldn’t agree more. That’s generally the philosophy I live by.

I’d hedge my bets too if I knew I had mere minutes to live. I stand to lose nothing and I gain comfort at the end, regardless of whether or not I am rewarded with some kind of afterlife.

“Good soldier. Now, here are your next set of orders: Stand right there on those gallows and put that noose around your neck.”

That’s what I hope they’ll say to anyone who tries to use the Nuremberg Defense when they get prosecuted for blowing up civilian boats in international waters.

In my headcanon, I’m shipping Waldo and Carmen Sandiego. Nobody can find them, and they travel the world on a global crime spree.

The construction worker and the doctor have more in common with each other than either of them do with the billionaire.

That mentality, that the two working class individuals are too different from one another to ever unify because of the fact that one makes more money than the other, is exactly the kind of mental attitude that the wealthy elite have cultivated for years to keep us at each other’s throats instead of theirs.

Ideally, everyone would be in a position to break into the lowest strata of the capital class by the time they reach retirement age and can no longer work. For most people, that translates into a, IRA or 401k built over decades of years working, assets like a house appreciating in value (so that you can borrow against that increased value), and perhaps a pension or some other form of investment that yields dividends.

Even then. I’d argue that if you retire knowing that if you live within your means, your funds will last you for 20 years, you’re not actually in the capital class. It doesn’t matter for most people, because few people expect to be able to live for that long past retirement and they can always adjust their spending habits to push the number out a bit farther if it looks like they will outlive their retirement savings. But that’s just it, it’s more like a savings and not endlessly accumulating more and more wealth. For the true capital class, their money passively grows and generates more wealth faster than they can spend it.

I don’t care much for metroidvanias but Dust: An Elysian Tail was fun for a playthrough or two.

You draw lines? I draw lines, too!

I presume you are referencing people who donate plasma as frequently as possible to earn extra money to survive?
