Solaris Knight

until they can come up with a new campaign they're gonna have to fall back on their previous strategy, saying the word "video games" on twitter

The "DKU" is the Donkey Kong Universe. It's the meticulous set of Rools that the Donkey Kong fandom (or at least a subset of it founded by high schoolers 27 years ago) uses to decide if a game is related to DKC sufficiently enough that they have to care about it.

I was listening to the podcast Sad Oligarch (about a string of suspicious deaths in Russia among the elite there) and there was a case involving that and yeah that’s essentially what it means

gotta sprinkle the word 'shaman' in a bunch to try and make you envision a scary foreigner with a dark religion and not a white dude with too much money who says doing LSD can unlock your mind

Literally every time this happens people clap and cheer that immoral and disgusting pornography is being shunned and cleared out, and then several weeks later the most innocuous shit, or straight up SFW, is being thrown in the mulcher too. Every time, since the Tumblr porn ban, without fail!

Also worth noting, having someone make a cool joke or a meme or a piece of art based on a thing you did? Feels incredibly gratifying. Having someone slop out some AI shit feels insulting. It's worth less than the last minute obligatory birthday card some uncaring relative gets you and just signs

Nat saw me holding the pillow I got yesterday and went "you look like a vintage tumblr fujo with your round glasses, ponytail, and long skirt"

Nald said that Infinite is like Z Broly. Everything about him feels like he should be an enemy of Shadow but has to be tied to Sonic. Just like how Z Broly should have been a Vegeta villain.

This exact moment is perhaps the least true this has ever been

Oh hell yeah

You know what, actually, no, I think "Filthy" is worse. My number one rule of music videos is that it should serve the song, and the "Supplies" video unfortunately meshes with the awful song it's working with.

And they certainly keep trying to buy developers. Double Fine, Ninja Theory, every dev they bought they hoped would be another Halo.

But now they don't bother to try to generate any worthwhile exclusives, they're just going for sheer quantity

microsoft has only ever had two strategies

Find a developer with a game in development that's 90% complete and buy them

Try to convince Sony and Nintendo to put their games on Xbox

The first thing worked once, with Halo. The second thing has never worked at all.

Prismadoll, on the left, gazing a bit flustered at her big mud zombie mommy, who's delivering one of her typical, extra-wide, toothy smiles

Also did these simple little headshots of @prismadoll.bsky.social & her wife Bishobisho

hog tuah!!!

well, do you

playing with perspective a little, drawing a friend's silly little piggy character as if she were asking you if you had games on your phone

you

Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.

The state of the internet is a bunch of people who are on record as having raped children telling you that artistic expression is immoral.

We're ruled by inhuman freaks with no humanity, and they do epic bacon posting. We ARE in a simulation, it's just one of hell.

hard not to read all this age verification and censorship shit as our deeply reactionary government got the faintest whiff that an unchecked internet severely interferes with their ability to propagandize and decided it had to die

(There’s been one good 30 Under 30 pick and that was Griffin McElroy)

I'm starting to feel less and less sympathy for Nippon Ichi's perpetual on-the-edge status when they keep choosing the stupidest avenues to stay afloat

Credit to them for pumping out so many new IPs, but seeing them simultaneously fumble their current ones is aggravating beyond belief

This new Subscribestar bullshit is killing the livelihood of so many of my closest friends and like

What do we even do anymore?

what they do with like, the big returning character is really cool at least

also the production value has gone up with each patch which is kinda cool to experience

King K. Rool vs Marshall D. Teach(Blackbeard)

My biggest problem with this match up is that Blackbeard is still an enigma. We really don’t know the extent of his powers and most of his victories happen off screen.

nintendo being so insistent on using species types as proper nouns is gonna get crazier and crazier as they keep making movies

said it in a reply, but Dawntrail to next expansion has felt SO much faster than Endwalker to Dawntrail

Don't really know why

Combined with Nintendo suing them over tariffs…

‘This movie that was panned by critics and people alike was actually good because new thing that’s out is bad’ trend is getting annoying. Yes yes art is subjective and opinions change but it just feels like trying to spin the narrative more than being sincere
