Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 1hLook, Murderman has infinite knives. That's his superpower. Whether or not someone gives him knives, he always has at least one knife to stab people with. That's why you shouldn't criticise me for giving him more knives. He's stabbing you anyway so what if I give him a giant knife and a flirty wink 010
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 19hYou can't be middle-aged and making songs about teenage angst and high school it just rings hollow. You need to make relatable grown-up songs about Megaman fighting against Dr Wily 041
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 22hAnti-human (motto: "We Are Going To Create Hell And Make Everyone Live There"), valued at a trillion dollars, recently pressured the government into passing a law that makes child sacrifice mandatory (They are considered the nicest of the AI corporations) 020
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I don't actually listen to ANY music. If a game or movie has music in it I flinch and mute it for a bit. I miss a lot of context but needs must 032
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 28/09/2026OK so to my understanding if we were to, hypothetically, [redacted] the CEOs and [redacted] all the data centres we could say it was ACTUALLY all the work of our specially designed chatbot, Scapegoat 2000, and we would be considered to be blameless victims. Maybe there's finally a good use for LLMs 011
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The last few are kind of cheating because the stuff earlier in the list absolutely dominated my psyche. For example TF2 was a mere 19 years ago but I'm going to allow it because it's the only multiplayer game I've got hundreds of hours in (the reason being, all the other multiplayer games suck) 050
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I was doing the "9 games that made me" thing and got to VTM: Bloodlines and thought, eh, can I really say that it was formative when it merely came out in 2004, a mere five years ago 070
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I joined a new rpg discord because I am a weird freak and it's usually nice but there's a person who breathlessly keeps everyone updated on the state of the absolute worst pieces of shit in the hobby and idk if everyone else is there for that but I'd rather not boil my brain any further thank you 170
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My last game some poor soul had a critical-type effect that literally never fired (albeit they only got about 6 attacks off). So in their honour I'd probably buff it into something like: 100
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Get this, I sit down with a potential candidate to start the interview, and the guy puts down a styrofoam cup, lifts the lid, and 30-50 feral hogs swarm out of it and start ransacking the office. Hired him on the spot 020
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Nothing ever happens in a vacuum. The spiders I hoovered up are pretty sad about it. They're used to having a good night life 011
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 24/09/2026We all know we never saw Ronald McDonald again after all that business with the clowns hanging around and menacing people with knives. The company tried to hush it up but he turned against his clan and gave his life to stop them 022
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026"the threat of AI" is really the threat posed by people making terrible decisions, ostensibly because of AI. Tomorrow some jerk could start a "grey goo brigade" slapping pensioners to check for nanites but all the stories would be about the dangers of nanotech 110
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026hey can anyone help my friends out? They're an experienced team of programmers, artists, modellers, sound engineers, mappers, writers, and voice actors but what they're really lacking is a bunch of evil soulless fuckers who'll routinely destroy livelihoods to make an extra penny 060
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026*builds a machine that can do a human's job extremely poorly* this is the future. Because I'm going to make it the future. I'm going to fire people over this. I'm going to say stupid apocalyptic shit to overly-credulous journalists about this. I would die for the shitty machine. Ideally you will too 110
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026me when it released: Disco Elysium marks a turning point in game design me the next day, sweating and shivering: I need a Shoot Laser stat. I need to plug a weapon mod into my laser so that it shoots more lasers. I want a sword and a hat that improves my ability to collect further swords 031
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026You got evicted. You dare to complain about this and the Landlord Defender begins to choke you out. As unconsciousness approaches you hear a newsreader explain how Sir Monster the streamer makes 70 million dollars a year and is currently under investigation for biting a pensioner 030
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Logged into twitter and it's like "please give us money to get a blue check icon, also we'll let you talk to the stupid fucking robot that everyone hates" and appropriately enough my notifications are just bots following me 010

Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Ah damn he just told me there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. I can't call him a nasty little freak for thinking that he can do literally anything he wants without consequence. Since everything already sucks he's allowed to actively make the world worse because he said the thing 092
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 20/09/2026OK thanks for the review but is it a terrible UI with QoL issues "doesn't respect your time" or is it a boring repetitive gameplay "doesn't respect your time". Did you have a character limit to contend with. Did your review have to fit into a tweet. It's not very clear. I might even say it doesn't r 010
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I just picture him grinning and bearing it and taking comfort in the act but soon I get exhausted and picture what he must really be like, you know. It's endless toil. He's sore forever. I am so, so tired of imagining Sisyphus happy 021
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I've been told off for leaving my passwords on a post-it note but I don't want the immersive sim protag to choke me out and strip me off and then read the password tattoo on my chest. Yes I was contractually obliged to have an alternative route. Yes I regret it now 021
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I must consult the Machine God of Rationality. Oh, mighty machine, how many Rs are in "strawberry"? Yes, you're right my lord, I should probably go kill myself 030

Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 15/09/2026AI will bring about human extinction and also I am working to make it happen so please give my boss all your money. I made this post already but jesus fucking christ I hate these nasty lying* freaks *They are either lying or we need to make them go lie down in a ditch with no devices, forever 031
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Look the difference is that "Stealth" is when you crouch down for a damage bonus. "Deception" is when you lie to an NPC and nothing actually changes compared to telling the truth 040
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I've been working on the machine that creates hell and puts you in it but I am a good person, who is also serious, and I should be employed elsewhere. I have a little pill bug in my head working the controls. He says "hi friend" in a squeaky little voice and he is not being very sincere he's a jerk 021

Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 09/09/2026ok look the takeaway from an increasingly widespread cult being convinced that gnomes (that the cult for some reason claims to be training or arming or growing in tubes or some nonsense) will wipe out mankind is NOT "gnomes are real and a serious problem" 030
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Mary Shelley was 20 when she published Frankenstein. So there's still time. I just need to write a novel that's exactly twice as genre defining as hers was 05714

Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 01/09/2026devs currently get ritualistically sacrificed to capital after release but I trust that, somehow, they'll find a way to make it worse. With the magic of gen AI they'll destructively scan every dev before the project is even named 031
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 31/08/2026That google transitioned from "Don't be evil" to "Immediately accede to the demands of deranged monsters" is... well it's actually entirely unsurprising I guess because that's what tech companies do 062
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I'm sure there was a window of time when "content creator" basically meant adult content specifically and it was a careful way of sidestepping censorship but now it's used for goddamn everything. Might as well call yourself a thing doer or a stuff maker 031
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 30/08/2026That's a great question! I'm not sure if the author is dead but if you tell me their name, I can look them up. And if you'd like them to be dead I can arrange for something to happen. Just subscribe to ChatPremium 021
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 28/08/2026In regards to franchises that I don't particularly care for but which apparently have pretty good games attached to them now, I need to decide whether I'm in a James Bond or Star Wars mood. Can you shoot Yoda in either of them. Yes it would be in character for Bond to do it too 140
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Don't cite the deep magic to me, witch. I straight-up don't remember writing that shit. I don't know how it runs when it calls on a non-existent .txt called deepmmagic. Yeah two Ms I missed it. And yes I know it always crashes to desktop on exit. No I won't help you mod it for "deeper magic" 41005231
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I watch Tim Curry in his Red Alert 3 cutscenes and each one has an ever-accumulating "they won't possibly use this take right" energy but of course they'd use those takes, you're Tim Curry 0110
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Death when everyone said we wanted the 80-year-old gone you knew exactly who people meant you bony fuckhead. Don't try to pretend the vagueposts confused you you're the grim reaper not a monkey's paw or a genie or whatever the fuck 070
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The sheer hypocrisy on display! People mourn a beloved icon and yet Mr Evil Piece of Shit, best known for his five-year stint as the Opposite of Santa Claus, attracted nothing but hateful revelry 061
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I don't think this Demon Lord is much of a role model so, yes, I think it's very telling that the author doesn't work to discourage their readers from mimicking the behaviour of the Flayer of Thousands, Scourge of All Life. The whole thing reads like de facto approval of the Soul Burner 030
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I call it the Wound Engine. It's a machine that makes a nasty festering hole in reality and its purpose is to act as a plot hook for a big sci-fi epic 0254
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 23/08/2026the way some of these people talk re: prep and art assets I think they might genuinely believe that chatbots came out before TTRPGs did. I don't think they fathom that people, living real not imaginary people, did all this stuff for decades prior to this LLM shit even existing 161
