they've grown hooked on the sweet taste of layoffs and are courting more.

Watercolour and ink painting of a cat-like creature with bright yellow eyes, a sparkly coat resembling a vibrant cosmos of blues and purples, antennae that look like little leafy branches, and a tail in a similar style. The background is black, with sparkles in pink, blue, purple, turquoise and gold.

I must concur

this is an enormous part of why I will never voluntarily give nintendo money, will fully endorse piracy of their games, and think it's fine to judge someone for blind consumerism when it comes to their products even though there's (for some reason) a stigma against doing so in general.

just going to borrow the second line as my temporary autobiography

for me this is somehow worse than when they released that NES repro cart that would brick authentic consoles. WHEN WILL PEOPLE STOP STEALING ENDRIFT'S WORK??? nintendo certainly won't, if the "official" ports flagrantly built on mgba are any indication.

the later you die the higher the likelihood of someone you never met marketing a terrible facsimile of your voice and likeness to your grieving family

just wrapped my final round of radiation therapy! soon (knock on wood) I will be fit as a fiddle and ready to return to whatever it is I get up to all day.

LONGNECK GETTING LOVE IN THE BIG 2026

I am in such good hands with @mibetaur.bsky.social, who is thankfully handling the driving part. good looking out!

first round of radiation treatment tomorrow, wish me luck!

there is sleep and there is schedule, and never the two shall meet

I too am enjoying aotw this week :v

I can't post about the way this makes me feel because I'd get suspended. I can't post about what it makes me want to do because I'd get suspended. I'm so glad the motherfuckers who never shut up about free speech are in charge now. liberty oozes from my veins, making another substance quite jealous.

why is reading about this unrewarding slog making me nostalgic for my time with this challenge??? though to be fair even at the time I was like "this is fun. why am I doing this? this isn't fun. I want to do this though," on indefinite loop

crack installer that goes slower by a barely perceptible margin if you mute the keygen music

it's early yet but I'm really impressed by Professor Moss Roberts's translation of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. between the approachable, flowing prose and the incredibly thorough annotations, it might be the edition I come to recommend to curious newcomers.

bit Generation: Dotstream (GBA) is my kind of racing game, very interesting paring-down of the genre. I really recommend killing an hour or two with it, it's easy to pick up and put down!

after giving her two books' worth of a shot (Brother, The Devil Crept In) I've concluded I'm not into Ania Ahlborn. insensitive, exploitive fiction that is, moreover, a pretty dull read. it's like revisiting mid-80s Stephen King, but only the parts you forgot because they're boring or offensive.

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

lol nevermind, oncology just called to inform me radiation for sure needs to happen. PET scan in 2 weeks.

A Meat called it! meeting with a radiation oncologist in a week and a half to discuss whether radiation treatment is suitable/necessary.

my back hurts and I'm all pissed off and disoriented today.

I get that a lot of it is not wanting to make conceptual eye contact with "I spent 70 dollars on something that I'm struggling to enjoy" but it makes an already distrustful woman (me) disinclined to take non-critical opinions about media seriously

there's something a telling about even metroid 5's most effusive fans starting most of their praise with "yes, the game has issues, but-"

mario kart world fans too.

like... why do I feel those issues will be far less tractable for me than you? not that I'm playing it anytime soon, fuck nintendo.

the cover had to be rushed, tonally inconsistent and offputting to thematically match the working designs localization

God I love ToME

often the same people who trip over themselves making sure every XIV DLC is neatly accounted for. let's at least have some consistency!

I am nothing if not a nihilist.
