Enjoy it while it lasts. We like to immitate the US so in 2026 it’s very likely that we’ll elect a reactionary idiot again.

It’s a shame kbin.social is no more. I guess Fedia.io is as big as it gets now.

Ok, here I go: I will finally hit the gym, find someone to love, get a better job, learn to play an instrument, become a more patient and confident person, read the books I’ve bought, play the games I’ve bought, learn a new language, spend more time with people I care about, try LSD, start a master’s degree and do something about my receding hairline. Good luck, future me.

This is actually very hard. I ultimately went with the Barn Owl because it has such an iconic owl-y face but I really wish both could win.

It’s a very recent one but my answer right now has to be Arcane, season 2, episode 7. It’s a brilliant show from start to finish but this episode in particular is such a gut punch it still hurts to think about.

And each time the tweet gets shorter. Eventually he’ll have no choice but to use emojis.

Were they? Last year they had Mario and Zelda and the year before they had Elden Ring. This year doesn’t feel particularly strong.

Words to live by.

Now that’s just comically evil. Who designed this system, Spez?

Don’t larger black holes work the same way?

I, for one, welcome our new Iberian overlords

The Culture novels are… what?

Gerrymandering goes brrr

The thing is, there’s just so much stuff on Steam that even if you only care about the crème de la crème (hell, even if you only care about a specific genre), you’ll still find yourself with a wishlist longer than you’ll possibly have the time to play. I often go “ZOMG! STEAM SALE!!!” so in my case it’s slowly becoming a backlog but I do intend to play everything I buy.

Your words do not hurt me, I’m already used to being a diappointment.

The title of the song Why Don’t You by Gramophonedzie. I heard the song playing on radio a long time ago, probably probably around the time it came out in 2010. I didn’t know the lyrics nor the artist and eventually forgot about the song. Then, many years later, I heard people saying good things about a certain Fallout: New Vegas and decided to play it to see what the big deal was. Well, the game has radio stations you can tune in and to my surprise the original song by Peggy Lee which Gramophonedzie remixed is in there. I heard it and instantly thought “…wait, could it be that song?” Well, it was, and I have to thank F:NV for that cause I don’t think I’d ever have found that song otherwise.

What’s the point of paying for YouTube Premium if you get ads anyway?

As far as I’m aware, the big “problem” with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It’s an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it’s already enough to push regular people away. It’s kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you’ve already lost them.

Only if you assume a person can’t possibly have different political views from their parents’. It’s certainly more difficult, I’ll give you that, but it does happen.

Huh, I thought this would be about a new device. I guess Anbernic’s release schedule has spoiled me.
