anyone else think the steamhappy emote looks like a Spaghetti-O?

The steamhappy emoticon, a smiley face with big eyes and a goofy, wide open-mouthed smile.

spaghetti rules everything around me

A spaghetti-like configuration of belts and machinery in the game Shapez 2. The input side takes in a fully saturated belt of shapes, performs several cuts and rotations, and outputs four belts consisting of each of the shape's quadrants.

doing sushi trains to move dyes around in Shapez 2. god help me

A screenshot of a "sushi train" in Shapez 2. A train station with a number of spacers acting as buffers for the train to actually pull into the station flank a platform that loads white dye into a dye car. A train already carrying magenta, yellow, and white dyes has left the station moments before the screenshot was taken.

It took me just shy of 200 hours, but I finally beat Factorio: Space Age.

The Factorio: Space Age victory screen.

"Congratulations! You have beaten the game by dispatching an interstellar space platform!"

Total playtime: 195 hours, 51 minutes, 15 seconds.

this one violently manifested in my head and I had to make it real.

"Hey Fred, gimme a bag of potato chips."

"Bag of potato chips..."

"And hold the texture"

"Hold the texture?"

"And, no flavor."

"And no flavor? Hey, Jimmy, gimme a bag of potato chips with NOTHIN'!"

The final panel is an older man with an image of a bag of Lay's plain potato chips pasted over his face.

Like at this point I feel like it's better if gamedevs don't play any of Fromsoft's titles in general, because inevitably they'll lift mechanics from them, shove them out of context of the game(s) they originate from and end up more or less ruining the gamefeel.

A two-panel image post. Both panels have a knight in armor with a helmet. The first panel has text over the knight reading "A genuinely amazing game by all metrics."

The second panel has the same knight, but now with an arrow going straight through the eye slot of the helmet. The text along the arrow reads "Souls-like Mechanics."

Honestly fuck this upgrade. It sounds great until you remember you have coins with the return modifier in play and you get dumpstered by having a prize ball convert your most valuable, infinitely reusable coin converted into some random coin you didn't want.

Would totally buy this if I had a pool.

Turns out, the factory's actually smaller than it looks.

Sure it's a mess. But it's my mess. And it mostly works.

A screenshot of Dyson Sphere Program showing a very, very messy factory with belts and facilities being tucked in in a very cramped, almost chaotic manner.

favorite phrase of the now to describe a specific look for a cat being photographed: glumpy glooper.

A photograph, likely taken through a doorbell camera exhibiting a bit of a fisheye lens effect. A cat is peering in from the lower right corner, distorted by the camera to look like a "glumpy glooper"

"Tiden that's not real, you're just making shit up." [1/4]

Discord is already the de facto home for NFT communities, but the company could be planning to deepen those connections in a big way.

(Screenshot from a TechCrunch article -- "NFTs and crypto wallets could be in Discord's future, posted November 9th, 2021)

On Monday, Discord founder and CEO Jason Citron tweeted a screenshot depicting Discord integrated with popular crypto wallet service MetaMask and WalletConnect, an open protocol that many mobile crypto wallets are built on. Citron employed the NFT Twitterverse phrase "probably nothing," shorthand for *this will be a huge deal.*
