I was raised on Fred Rogers, Bob Ross, and the rest of PBS. I wouldn’t trade the era I was born in for any other. Mr. Rogers was a legend.

I read this as I sit at my desk with 3 monitors in my face and a refilled coffee cup. We finally get amazing weather and it falls on a Monday! Cruel.

Sworn, way too much Ball X Pit, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

Fascists making a tool that does nothing but steal Other people’s work is so on brand for them. They’re incapable of making anything original.

Ahh this is awesome. Funny enough, before I was a web dev, I was a graphic artist. Showing my age as well, my first version of Photoshop was 5 and I learned how to edit on old PowerMacs in high school. In the early 2000s I was on a forum with a similar group of folks. I think I was the only one with formal training, so I’d design forum signatures for everyone, as well as show people how to do their own graphics (as well as where to ahem acquire the software to do so).

I got into IRC and all of those tools late in life, but forums were fun back in the day.

I always wanted to checkout Siggraph but never got the chance.

Seriously! I hate that the choices are bar or restaurant. Like, I wanna eat and all, but the US has failed miserably when it comes to congregation spaces. I’m not even a social person and I see the value in spaces like the ones you see in Spain and other countries. They value community and connection, while the US values consumption and consumerism.

I used to have a small crew that I would play Left For Dead 1 and 2 on Xbox with. We would all get on mics and get drunk and/or high the whole time. When random people hopped in to play humans vs zombies matches, we would hype them and welcome them. Always tried to be the group that didn’t deter players or talk shit. Had a lot of fun sessions that would go to 3 or 4 AM. I haven’t seen them online in ages.

Came here to say the same! That game cracked me up all the way through.

I’m thankful for 2 things:

• Never getting any tattoos
• Never getting into Harry Potter

Any time I think of a tattoo idea, I ask myself if I’d want to see it on my body 20 years from now. The answer is always a resounding no.

Regardless, whoever uses phrases like that is cringe as fuck. I hate this timeline and how political discourse has been reduced to brain rot terminology.

I use Mullvad daily. Never turn it off.

I don’t get meat alternatives. They’re all fucking gross, like CEOs and people that use the word “WoKe” in a non-satirical way. It’s funny watching him call the sector woke and politicized, when he’s doing literally the same thing by calling it woke. Maybe speak like an adult instead of a 4chan edgelord dumbass.

And using “wOkE” to describe it, which instantly tells me someone is a childish idiot.

War(io)

“Unobtainium” is such a stupid nameium.

And somehow Peter Thiel says the Antichrist is someone else and not him. Fucking ketamine-brained billionaire losers.

I bet! I’m gonna go that route. My wife just likes watching me play games, so I always try to share the experience with her. Control might become the late night game I play after she’s asleep. I love the work Remedy puts into their games.

I just completed the first Alan Wake (again) and then finished Alan Wake 2 after it. Now I’m playing Alan Wake: American Nightmare. I started playing Control too, but it has a lot of sounds and visuals that bother my wife, so I’ve shelved that one for the time being.

Yeah, I’ve been keeping track of that one and they are trying to get him removed from any sort of leadership role over the community.

He’s been a dirt bag for as far back as I can remember.

DHH is a massive piece of shit. I keep seeing his stupid name popping back up recently and I wish he would go the fuck away. No community needs his toxic views.
