On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

Stay safe out there today, friends and remember that, just like Gondor:
America has no king.
America needs no king.

I will never shut up about Signalis, but to keep true to my above statement, here’s what I’ll say:
A first play-through takes about 9-11 hours
There is a false ending after the scene in the red desert. Go back in after the credits.
Come to the Signalis subreddit once you’re done. We have copium.
Don’t read reviews. Don’t watch any video essays. Much of this game is deliberately left open to interpretation, and designed for you to connect with it on a personal level. Being pre-informed might influence your experience, and it’s best when your first time through is purely your own
I’d like to share one of my favorite games featuring LGBTQ themes: Signalis.
Signalis is an indie survival horror game that masterfully blends Silent Hill storytelling with classic Resident Evil gameplay. I’ll gush more in the comments, but please GO INTO THIS GAME BLIND

I know June is pride month, but I just want to let you all know:

Waiting for Doom to unlock, Playing Halo: Reach, on a PC, running Linux, with a PlayStation controller. This is peak gaming blasphemy right here

I originally was going to use liquid cooling, but it just kept drinking my booze and complaining at me, so I switched over to fans and left it trapped inside the case. Where it belongs.

So it’s a little early, but I can finally share that I (with help) have built my first PC! In true gamer fashion I’ve crammed as many rainbows into it as I could to show my support of the LGBTQ community ahead of Pride month!
CNN (Corellian News Network) is reporting that, protesting the new tariffs, the Trade Federation is blockading the planet of Naboo until said tariffs are repealed.

I’m also keeping said thumb stick on the desk. In easy reach.
“It’s a sort of threat, you see. I’ve never been very good at them myself, you see. But I have been told they can be quite effective. “ - Slartibartfast
In this case, the shotgun is the usb thumb-stick installer, but I think the point still stands.
Last night I finally (with lots of help) put together my first custom pc. I’ve put Linux (Ubuntu) on it. First time really using/figuring out Linux.
Man, Linux really is the “if it makes a strange noise I’m getting my shotgun” of operating systems, isn’t it?
#linux #pcbuilding
And the back and bottom of the case
Work is still continuing on the next version of the QuickDraw system, in the meantime I thought I’d show you what I’ve done most of the typing on. I don’t think it quite qualifies as a #cyberdeck…

Does the existence of “Nerddom” imply the existence of a “Nerdsub?” We know “fandoms” and “fansubs” exist….

Absolutely no one. At all. Ever:
How would you describe your perfect woman?
Me: have you seen the music video for Tom Cardy’s “Red Flags?”
Teelings Small batch I can usually find less expensive than Jameson and has replaced it as my go-to budget Whiskey.
It might be my bottle, but I remember the green apple flavor being stronger in Green Spot. It’s still a great sipper, and an easy rival to Redbreast 12 if you want a sharper flavor
Green spot
Single pot still Irish
Bourbon and sherry casks
Middleton Distillery
No age statement, bottled at 40%/80proof
Sharp sweet candied green apple, like a jolly rancher almost. Hint of coconut husk.
Thinner on the mouthfeel, warm and tart, with a lingering oaky sourness and clove spice.
Teeling small batch
Irish whiskey
Bourbon casks and ex-rum barrels
Teeling distillery, Ireland
No age statement, bottled at 46%/92proof
Dark fruit, biscuit sweetness on the nose, just a hint of malt on the nose.
Sweet, fruity, spicy and dense, this is a FANTASTIC value whiskey
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In honor of the day, I’m reviewing my two favorite Irish whiskey’s: Teelings Small Batch and Green Spot, review in the comments!

They’ve done a great job on improving facial animations outside of rendered cutscenes, and Majima’s reactions have so far been the most entertaining addition
