Picture of the century. 😍

I listened to one Fall Out Boy album and now my Discover Mix on YT Music is filled with Panic! At The Disco and other adjacents - sometimes the algorithm is good

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

This was literally a jaw dropping reveal lmao

This is so disappointing. Bluepoint is such an insanely talented studio responsible for remaking one of my all time favorites, SotC, but for also getting me into Souls games with their remake.

I am deep into another play-through of Fallout 4. For all of its perceived shortcomings, I still love the gameplay loop and find something new every time I play. For instance - I (somehow??) never unlocked Curie as a companion until now.

if you hate or love "maxxing" please be advised that guys my age think it's funny as hell and will shortly be using it approx. 500 times a day. you will be cringemaxxing and despairmaxxing but no amount of cringe & no depth of despair will stop the guys my age from usemaxxing "maxxing." just fyi

Think in’ I might play Giants Citizen Kabuto for the first time in… probably 20 years. I wonder how streamable that game is now on modern technology.

Finished Routine last night. Such a great experience and I rounded it off by listening to @remapradio.bsky.social interview the creators. Despite a handful of flaws, it had such clear vision and a truly outstanding visual art style that will stick with me for quite some time.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Vermont farmers face another crisis: rising health care costs When federal health care subsidies sunset, the state’s farmers will be hit particularly hard.

Vermont farmers, many of whom are self-employed, stand to be disproportionately impacted by the loss of federal COVID-era health care subsidies set to expire at the end of the year.

bananafangs - Twitch Monday is for farming | One Year in Stardew

I now interrupt your regular programming to stream some Stardew Valley tonight, if that's your thing. I'll be around for a couple hours :)

Good front-paging.

Running my first 5K today after picking up running this year, looking forward to it!

Right now I’m pushing through to a year on Stardew Valley, something I’ve yet to accomplish for no good reason. If that’s interesting to you, come hang tonight at 7!

bananafangs - Twitch Do you like old - nay, ANCIENT games? As do I. While I sometimes stream the HOTTEST NEW games, I find a lot of them boring and too focused on that good, good capitalist ROI. Join me as we jump into th...

Hey y’all, I’ve started live streaming again! I’ll be doing classic game play throughs or challenge series. If you’re into that, give me a follow and come hang out at some point. I’ll be on Twitch until I figure out multi-streaming to YouTube. twitch.tv/bananafangs

Gorgeous!

If you aren’t mooing at cows on the side of the road you shouldn’t have a license

There’s a Godzilla Day marathon running on Criterion Channel right now and it’s really tanking my productivity

Picked up a couple strategy games during the last Steam sale. Old World and Age of Wonders 4 have been absolutely annihilating my free time. Really love Old World’s family systems, and Age of Wonders 4 is just so mechanically satisfying but I’m already feeling the DLC pull from both 🥲

Big fan of the BOYOING and HUMMUS

It’s a testament to the design in this game that it is still fun to play today.
