@vampiress@eigenmagic.net so many games first stood out or stayed in my mind because of a small detail or offbeat decision. the shotgun in Wrath whose alt fire takes half a second to charge, but lets you repeatedly stop-start it to make a chuk chak noise in time with your clicks, just for the hell of it kenshi letting you create a gangly dude with a pot belly or a gnarled and hunched weirdo instead of boring normal body sliders House of the Dying sun making some icons NOT rotate with your ship Defender Patrol letting you reach across and press the button on your copilot's joystick while he's using it and like... you can't do that stuff if you didn't write code that supports it, or you decided against enabling it, or just didn't decide at all

@stavvers@masto.ai we call that con virgin evolution

@fesshole@mastodon.social why the fuck would you ever believe this and also, would you like to buy a bridge

@munin see also: "hallucinated". fucking STOP IT. It did not hallucinate anything it is not even remotely capable of thinking or imagining or understanding anything at all, ever, and never will be. It just regurgitates shit that looks statistically similar to the words you put in I'm so tired of having to revise my expectations of people downwards AGAIN. I did not know a hole this deep was possible

@bright_helpings@mspsocial.net @JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw expelling the air from a syringe of t and accidentally getting a drop on a woman, immediately causing her to writhe on the floor and spore off several angry little guys like a mogwai

@fesshole@mastodon.social if you are reading and know someone who's fucking around: confront the offender, not the victim

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place @ehproque@neopaquita.es @gabrielesvelto@mas.to In our glorious ai-forward nation, none shall go hungry! Double prion rations for all!

@robchapman @j_bertolotti it makes me feel like the only sane person every time, because this is how it always was! That's what the internet was for DECADES before everyone fell for Algorithm Cult bullshit. It's been less than a decade, and they've been obviously shit and broken and fake since day one. how do people not know when they were THERE 😢

@phocks excuse me, I rented a room with 5-7 strangers in ilford and still had to skip enough meals that... well anyway it's not a slum. because of the reasons.

@AmyZenunim also, important for everyone but especially if you have the Cool Brain: do the thing the way you ENJOY you will find your own "correct" way by following that. The river finds its own way to the sea

@fesshole@mastodon.social halposting

@ErikUden@mastodon.de fascists and their votes always knew. They will deny it forever but they always, always knew, every last one.

@pluralistic begging USians in the comments to TRY imagining that other countries exist, and see what happens

@harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org related: "life stages" please get off the bougie propaganda conveyor belt for one day, i am begging

@xssfox@cloudisland.nz this is especially true of rental agreements, which many rentworms know NOTHING about. A great many contracts are copies of incompetent bullshit from some lettings agent (all useless crooks) website upside of that: you don't have to object to unenforceable terms at the time. Let em think they have you Also, don't assume that other tenants can't also fuck you over. Especially in the uk, with the recent law change, EVERYONE in a shared tenancy is vulnerable to that. Protect yourself!

@St1ka@peoplemaking.games "hrooohwwh"

@artemis@dice.camp And the dudes! ALL of them get so much development, and such good relationships with each other and someone getting an abortion and it just being DONE. Unpleasant because it's an operation but there's no kowtowing to misogynyist fundie shit. And its significance in a relationship (fucking love scott btw although obviously paula is the best) is only that it was another example of how her friend was utterly not reciprocating all the support she'd given WHICH RESONATED SOMEWHAT :'(

@YKantRachelRead@social.treehouse.systems virus that will very likely fuck up multiple people around me: (i sleep) virus that there's a small chance could harm me personally: (real shit) love 2 b in the intersection of like 4 "communities" that all behave identically to the one trying to eradicate us

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place is it lists

@cloudflare@noc.social I don't give a shit about "IP" because I'm not a disney copyright toad. I want these parasites blocked because I despise them on a fundamental level

@neuronakaya@mastodon.social The superior, genius science fan: "I do not dabble with these webbed sites, for these arguments are beneath me." Scientist: (kicking down the door) "BEHOLD -

@3TomatoesShort@disabled.social @wronglang@bayes.club @moriel@chaosfem.tw try breaking them up into 80 contractors

@futurebird@sauropods.win this is such a beautiful sentence

@artemis@dice.camp The exchange in season four where rebeccas goes "because I don't want to die, okay!", and all the implications of that are understood and accepted. It's such a fucking beautiful and loving show. The kind of escapism that gives you hope to take back home

@artemis@dice.camp rebecca turning around to confess to paula and talk about wanting to face consequences for once had me fucking sobbing last year. It really distilled the fundamental difference between her and someone whose bullshit I'm still recovering from. Not masochistic or spiralling or manipulative, she just sees what she's done to her friend and I am going to cry again oh god and valencia crying at the table after the axe thing... so many parts are just so fucking real

@artemis@dice.camp 100% my favourite friendship show. Paula and rebecca work through their shit together instead of just binning each other the instant they realise it's unhealthy, and I love them so much for it

@artemis@dice.camp oh my god I started rewatching that series very shortly before Events. My brain was looking out for me BIG time with that one. Genuinely helped me get through a lot last year

@kaye@cathode.church instantly octupled the user base

@nat@kind.social also a group: willing to acknowledge it and badly want to prepare but don't have the resources or skills or support necessary 🙃

@AmyZenunim true of cooking, too. It's confidence and practice. That's it

@TerribleMaps stay strong, Belize. Scotland loves you

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social (and of course, startpage recently started dabbling in pissbots. I'd be gone already if ANY of the alternatives I tried weren't also gargling googlepiss and/or ignoring operators and thus completely fucking useless)

@PatrickoftheG@mastodon.social yeah that's when I immediately stopped using google (would never have started, but the others eventually died) and moved to ddg. And then they started ignoring them as well (and later doing regurgibot shit lawl), so I immediately moved to startpage I genuinely don't understand HOW people tolerate it. It's not even complicated, but 95% of searches require a "search phrase" to do the very basic fucking purpose of a search engine, and not just random unrelated Algorithmic bullshit

@glassbottommeg@mastodon.gamedev.place all of them must have an outrageously french chef, ideally a goblin

@CaffeinatedBookDragon@nerdculture.de @RickiTarr@beige.party one hundred thousand mile stare

@skippingmoonrocks related thing I loved, and really learned to appreciate in archives: the unspoken understanding that things take as long as they take

@rr4idic@mastodon.online there's a game called trappist set on it :D

@madcollector@retro.pizza first time I went to manchester, some random guy in the street called me "our kid" within a few minutes. Still upset I never got to move there

@artemis@dice.camp "where are all the time travellers?" WE ARE HERE WE JUST DON'T HAVE A STEERING WHEEL

@jewelpit@dice.camp @BrianBinh@dice.camp meanwhile, the spanish person was incensed at some terrible evil perpetrated by a duck

@kenSwinson this is lovely but it does now have me thinking of "horse/peace" as an either/or ultimatum

@vagina_museum@masto.ai @pzmyers@freethought.online jesus fucking christ, my legs just curled around each other like a pair of horny slugs

@kenSwinson oh gosh, no apology needed, I wasn't complaining and it was clear what you meant. Just inspired a silly fun thought Thank you for posting the picture! It looks a lovely shape, I hope the colours came out well

@deersyrup felt

@tksst@fediscience.org disagree. clearly it suggests that bees can become jaded and bitter
