welcome to 2026 we got uuuuuuuuhhhh

... has there been a psyop to erase public libraries from cultural memory?

when was the last time you saw a piece of media or news that had anything to do with a public library, even just a mention of one?

with the fruitfly brain thing I think we're gonna see a resurgence in the popularity of SOMA

... and a resurgence in the misinterpretations of SOMA >:V

i'm like travis touchdown but instead of a tiger my spirit animal eats trash and runs into traffic

I think one of my favorite tropes is like

Something happens and the world begins to fray at the edges, supernatural events occuring as human behavior breaks down

And the "something" is completely mundane like a 48 hour gas shortage

a thing of bleach

while I don't personally gel super well with Gundam (which, IMO, has more in common with 40K than BattleTech), I do have a soft spot of the campiness of super robots like Tetsujin, etc

for me it's mostly a game / simulation thing because outside that space there's many different flavors of both robot & mecha

paintin' noise marines & making my own contrast paint mixes just to see if I can get it right

should have one done soonish

Short measure

'Misura stretta'

My motivation follows a heirarchy of "shit I really don't want to do right now"

Having a blast painting models because I am so burned out on coding it's not even funny

Almost unfollowed over this

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

uh thanks but no thanks

Hypnagogia 1½'s demo will be out TOMORROW 💿✨

It's happening for real and you can't stop it

I'm very exhausted with the idea of disco-elysium-likes. The thing I cared about in DE was its narrative design and writing, not just its mechanics in isolation. You could explore all kinds of ideas from tabletop games and crpgs, but instead you choose to shamelessly pantomime what DE did?

you want to teach me how to play video games?

... wut

my brain is popping and sparking trying to figure out how to mash more Bionicle influence into GE

is that john darktide

i would rather go above & beyond for things I care about, and not because you have no idea what your own character looks like

the devs on this site are so mad this place is just the faggot forum instead of twitter2

Maybe this is a boomer-ass take but I play games to do stuff I can't do IRL

I have no desire to play card games on my PC

"ahead on trends, behind on output" is just my motto at this point

Oh shit this looks dope

huh

I mean, makes sense

the closer you observe a bone structure the less symmetrical is gets, just because of how they're formed

I've seen these bones rattling around in skulls before but I thought it was like some sorta internal scaffolding structure

didn't know it was it's own thing

i haven't listened to gorillaz in ages; I need to catch up
