"Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."
Lmaoooo. Next level notes. I know where this is. Godspeed
Yesss good. Join us
I also don’t log play sessions. I just do a single log when I finish a game. I don’t know if I can handle that level of granularity with having to log my play sessions every day
Heck yeah! I’m also a very happy Patreon backer for BL. Glad to see you’re continuing to enjoy it so much!
Jenny Nicholson tweet continues to not miss
Man. What a thing to wake up to. Bret has been such a delight to interact with for years.
Great tribute
Whoa this just hit me like a truck. I’m not on social media as much nowadays so I had no idea Bret was going through this. What a funny and incredible dude. Huge loss. Great tribute.
JAN! I have never in my life met another person who has even heard of this movie and I watched this shit all the tiiiiime as a kid.
I (probably very naively) had hoped that her overall absence this season followed by *this* was due to conflicts with filming for Doctor Who but I don’t know when both shows filmed, only that they’re airing at the same time.
I don’t know about you guys, but every time I watched the Trons my first thought was always “man I wish this were in the real world”

Aahh yeah you can’t back up or really even turn on the spot in Downhill. If you brake and get yourself into a tight spot, you can’t really correct.
Yeah I may still check it out since I have GamePass. I bought the original a week ago because I was so excited for Snow and I really didn’t like it. May as well still try Snow
Aahh dang. Maybe not for me then, sadly. It just looks so neat. Thanks!
Ok so I didn’t like the original game at all. It felt too unforgiving. Every little leaf on these narrow paths would make you eat it and you could never tell what’s coming up because of the fixed camera. But I’ve heard Snow Riders is way more chill and forgiving. Would you agree?
Aaahhh I have not been there yet. We haven’t been with an actual member. Very cool!
Yooooooo. Those look amazing. Only a lunch menu item I assume?
I like to think he is but maybe not riding a unicycle. Dude was already getting old when I last saw him in the parks.
I miss all that stuff but, more importantly, I miss Lagniappe the most.
Worth noting - it took me 145 pulls to complete the 5-star outfit when the game launched. And that was when they were handing out the pink gem things like crazy so I had to use less diamonds.
Yeah it sucks so much. Absolutely crushed. The post itself is just a bummer. Glad they made the right call for themselves but it does not sound like the last few years have been good.
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
I think I can firmly say that my NDA is up by now but I auditioned for a full-movie version of this story over half a decade ago.
Lemme rephrase that -
Pixar have been trying to get this story out for well over half a decade and Disney have been blocking them. let it sink in
A comic made in response to the news that Pixar has removed a transgender character’s storyline from their new tv show. “Pixar has removed a transgender character’s storyline from their new series ‘WIN OR LOSE’ “When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline” Panel 1: Pixar Guy and Red Guy shaking hands. Both looking very happy. Pixar Guy: We’ve removed an honest, accurate depiction of a trans person from our tv show! Red Guy: Thanks Pixar! Now I can tell my kids about trans people on my own terms! Panel 2: Red Guy in a dark room, wearing a hooded coat, he holds a torch under his chin and his children are sitting in front of him. The rain pours down outside and lightning strikes. There is a crude drawing of a shadowed figure on the wall, meant to depict a trans person Red guy: THEY’LL COME FOR YOU IN THE NIGHT
Pixar you cowards
Lightyear and Strange World did not fail because of backlash over its LGBTQ characters. Both movies were marketed horribly and neither were that great, so word of mouth didn't do either any favors. Also, the Nimona bit just isn't true. Don't make excuses for this. www.cartoonbrew.com/streaming/ni...
I miss my humor too. Please help me find it when you have some free time 🙏
