Weird how the part of the cycle that drops your estrogen into the toilet makes me baby crazy. I guess I want to be a dad.

I love poking fun at those like vaguely leftist FFT edits, but it is also worth saying that Matsuno saw a lot of them and thought "yeah I'd probably put something like that in there"

Reminds me of reading ebooks using the built in text viewer of rockbox, loaded on a cheap mp3 player with maybe a 2 to 2.5 inch screen. Man those were the days... meaning 2011.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice.
Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike?
Blue: Eight.
Green: Oof.

Both of the foxes look at the board pensively.
Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter.
Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.

A leafeon naps in a basket of peppers at a produce stand bathed in sunlight. Partly eaten peppers sits nearby, while the price tag has been replaced with a half-off label: "leftovers" They're a bargain, so pepper stir-fry it is tonight. Now then... let's make sure we don't wake the little sleeper

“Never engage in filmed group sex on a set that is famously equipped with trap doors” is a lesson some derive from first principles and others learn from difficult experiences, but we learn. By god, we learn.

Waiting for the airporter and then off to SEATAC. Red-eye overnight flight back home here I come. It'll be good to see my partner and cats again. This trip to see my dad was both deeply rewarding and fairly depressing.

Having to give an abbreviated (and yet still so utterly fucking long) history of Rationalists, Rationalism, LessWrong, Effective Altruists, etc. to a friend so they understand more of this awful shit. This is wrecking my brain remembering all this shit from my time among the milieu.

Was looking at the Silent Hill Townfall concept art and my jaw dropped. Was back in my hometown tonight so I had to go and take a photo. There are many ways to mock my beloved Coatbridge, but “your home’s so miserable it was used as concept art for a Silent Hill game” is a new one for me

Started playing Xenoblade Chronicles while I'm on vacation. Gotta say it's a nice JRPG that scratches the exact MMO like itch that Final Fantasy XII does. Loving it so far.

One of my favorite arcs in the Venture Bros is the slow revelation that Dr. Jonas Venture Sr. was not just a terrible parent, but a truly reprehensible human being.
Jonas as Rusty remembered him in Season 1, towering over him like a child and reaching a hand out to help him up.Jonas in Season 7, blackmailing his "friend" Don into murdering supervillains as The Blue Morpho.

Quote retweet with a game that has a 10/10 Soundtrack! Probably one of my favorite atmospheric albums of all time, Hyper Light Drifter was fantastic in many ways but it's music was something truly special.

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”

My favourite thing to do in modern video games is not pay attention to cutscenes or engage with the lore at all and get to the end of a 30 hour game not knowing who I am, what I’m doing, or who anyone else in the game is

A football player says "glad you're here in the USA for football season, Junji Ito. Let me show you how to throw a perfect spiral." The football plater throws the ball. Ito is mesmerized. Spirals appear in his eyes and he sweats profusely. We zoom in on his face in an extreme closeup as the intensity of his terror increases.

If you’re feeling political despair, I strongly recommend going to canvass or table for a candidate you believe in. It’s fun! And they will train you before you go out and pair you with a more experienced person if you’re nervous
