Don’t get me wrong though I downloaded the Witcher 3 remaster to play that NG+ I have been wanting to get around to!

I guess I just had to sit with it for a little while because I am now loving “Kirby and the Forgotten Land.” Seriously a blast to play and also kind of perfect-for-the-end-times soothing escapism

Sometimes it just kinda hits me how absurd & insane it is that I have to spend at least 8-10 hours of my day as a slave, for 5-6 days a week. The whip is now the threat of homelessness and poverty. We aren’t “free to work.” You are free to choose your exploiter or be homeless

Is it just me, or does it feel like they are trying too hard to make “Lanterns” “edgy” and “cool” by having them say f*ck every three seconds ? Idk It just feels forced

Tim’s board: “What is this place? No place, every place, all places? Anyplace? Is Door the gatekeeper?” And we know Martin Hatch is a shifter aka exists in multiple timelines simultaneously. The clues are pretty striking #AWE

OKAY.. TIM BREAKER = “Time Breaker”, WARLIN DOOR = “Martin Hatch”, Tim discussing his alternate me’s in alternate worlds.. nobody knowing anything about Hatch/where he came from.. it’s getting increasingly hard to doubt that S Lake intended Quantum Break to be like a “side story” in this AWE saga

So *SPOILER WARNING* if you haven’t played Quantum Break, Control/Alan Wake games, but I think the two worlds are definitely interconnected! Tim Breaker’s board has “Alternate Me’s?” and “The Red Haired Woman” written on it. Plus there’s Martin Hatch. It’s just not *official*. Stupid Microsoft #AWE

One thing i really admire about Exp 33 is that it pays tremendous homage to Surrealism, which is often overlooked in discussions on its JRPG format.. The Paintress is the villain, the world is easily a surrealist painting in motion, gestrals are living brushes.. I could go on

@nytimes.com also, it conveniently never mentioned how Bernie’s presidential campaigns were sabotaged by the DNC (since he was winning primaries as a Dem. Socialist) so this whole framing of “Americans dont accept socialism” is BS (esp. when recent polls show the support for socialism growing)
000
Benjamin 🌿🍄 @benjamineliasz.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Hey @nytimes way to spread misinformation about the DSA on the Daily today! Wanting to end the prison-industrial complex & focus on preventing crime is not the same as “abolishing the police & prisons” which is actually nowhere on the official platform. Your framing of this is very skewed

Can’t help but also be fucking STOKED for a new Witcher 3 DLC. It was already gorgeous & a GOAT so a remaster feels unnecessary but I’m here for it!!

Why is Pokopia a game-key card but not DK Bananza or Starfox? 🤔🤔 Anyways- I generally dislike remakes, but the new Starfox on Switch2 is pretty cold, I can’t deny. It made me get the N64 controller cause Starfox64 was a major childhood love of mine and only the n64 controller will feel right 😂

The US has such an incredible case of Stockholm syndrome in its relationship w/ Capitalism.. “ I know he beats & starves me, but it’s because he loves me! The real problem are people who were born different than me!” 😭😩

It’s sad when people feel that even more division & hatred among themselves is the solution to problems stemming from the alienating & life-denying social organization of capitalism. 😔

This is very hard to read, but worth sharing for awareness. In my opinion, AI should be HEAVILY REGULATED and used to actually try and do GOOD things Whole towns are being destroyed by data centers so that stupid or EVIL people can do this shit. Why?? Follow the money, always !

As a gamer, when contemplating just how much better a world under Socialism would be, consider- not just how much more time you’d have to play games- but also: how much gaming would improve if the focus of it shifted away from profits for billionaires
