Taking a break from BlueSky, I think. Struggling with mental health at the moment, and depression and social media feeds are a very unhealthy combo for me. ^^'' All the best to y'all, and see you sometime later probably. <3
Would be p. cool if in 2024, our response to a "progressive" news outlet breathlessly relaying how awful two already well-known ghouls are for 5000 words wasn't to eagerly share the article around and gasp at how dreadful they are. Don't we know better by now?
Asking that question falsely implies that there's a situation where the answer might be yes.
Lesbian-adjacent individuals? Terminology sure does change quick. Why in my day, we just called them folk from the northwest coast of Turkey.
In the sea of all time bangers that is the FFVI soundtrack, I always forget about this little town theme. Have taken a real liking to it this time around. Such a pretty little melody, and feels like a bit of a sister piece to Ahead On Our Way from FFVII to me.

youtu.beI still can't believe this was a thing. As someone who was barely aware of the internet until like 1999, early and mid-90s internet is such a wild world to me. Can't believe how advanced many things already were.
Orca dad finally gets his first salmon hat in an effort to connect with his son, and is disappointed when his son rolls his eyes, tells him that meme is so old, and goes off to smash a yacht.
Right? There are racers that offer more content or deeper mechanics, but few if any racers (as well as very few games in general!) that I think offer such a pure stream of unrestrained joy. <3
Think this is my all time favourite racing game. Makes me so happy every time I put it on.
I've still only seen the 90s movie. Are the rest equally worth watching? Absolutely love that one.
Tate in the 90s, is the way that I like to be.
It's just tate in the 90s. Come rotate your CRT.
It was tate in the 90s. 3 by 4 out of 4 by 3.
Bring back tate in the 90s.
Yes I wanna know, yes I wanna see.

www.youtube.comTook me replaying it years later to remember how much I actually loved the game first time until I hit that ending. Think there's an art to making bad endings that still feel satisfying on some level. ^^
Remember feeling that about Suikoden V. II still gives you a totally satisfying (if tragic) ending for not getting all the stars, but so many of V's lesser endings feel awful to see, and it's quite easy to get them. Remember it was years before I picked the game up again after hitting one first run.
Oof. This hits just like when your mum says "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed" to you when you do something wrong as a kid.
If anything, the trolley problem should vindicate the people who are finding it hard to cast a vote for anyone. It's missing the point to a fucking staggering degree to treat it as evidence for why choosing a less-evil-but-still-evil candidate is a morally sound and easy decision.
Also, even if you assume that one candidate definitely will kill fewer people, the trolley problem is supposed to be a fucking ethical dilemma. You're not supposed to feel good about running over the one dude unfortunate enough to be on the track with fewer people. It's meant to be a tough decision.
Garbage. They didn't even list Donkey Kong as trans, a well known fact.
Ahaha, fair. I took slot three on my copy of FF6 recently, and I keep loading the slot one save out of habit.
Oh hey, I actually totally forgot that version existed! Looks really nice, so might have to snap up a copy at some point.
Still the only game in the series I've played, actually. Should probably get on 64 at some point, though I doubt it'll have the wow factor now that this one did in the 90s. :(
I never do unless there are no spare slots, and if there aren't, I'll always delete the save with the least progress. Think it's super-cosy to have saves from past owners on there. A little piece of the game's unique history. <3
I really need to pick up a physical copy of this at some point! One of the few SNES games that I actually do have a lot of nostalgia for pre-emulation, as we traded our Mega Drive for my cousin's SNES for a few months as kids, and it was one of the few games he had. Still think so fondly of it.
"What... madness is this? What pitiful hellhole of posting is this that I have come to inhabit? Death would be a release next to this travesty."
The multiple Sony consoles on my list are partly the result of that too. Had extraordinarily bad luck over the years with Playstation hardware despite all the great memories. :(
Dad found it in a charity shop one summer in about 1996 I guess. We had one game (the fighter jet one) and we played it a handful of times that summer before quietly putting it back into the same charity shop. :'D

2600, Micro, ST and Action Max were silly things my parents found in charity shops / car boot sales after the fact. Everything else prior to Dreamcast (in 2004?) was birthdays / Christmas. After that it's stuff I bought myself outside of the PS4 and 3DS, which were given to me by very kind friends.

So glad that TASBot is there to help out during the difficult sections of your runs. Nice to finally be the player you were always meant to be.
Your creativity sets the limits. And also the machine that decides every minute detail of how to interpret the prompts you give it and then spits out a fine art paste made of other people's creativity.
But mostly it's your creativity.
Can't believe my high school art teacher never recognised the accomplished artist I could be if I was only freed of the cognitive load of actually making art. The school system is failing us all. :(
I always thought I was shit at drawing, but it turns out my artistic ability was just being bottlenecked by the cognitive load of getting lines, shapes, and colours into my sketchbook.
The cognitive load you experience while "generating sentences" is what's known in the business as "having ideas"
The wild success of actress Milfie McButts in the early 2080s led to a whole generation of parents naming their children Milfie. And those children are now our wise elders in the 2160s. Your descendants will get it, trust me.
If you're looking to someone called Milfie for a voice of reason, I think it says pretty damning things about your group.
