Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 07/10/2026oh I bet you thought we'd seen the last of Iain Duncan Smith 010
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah gotta say I'm not big on the whole contrarian-for-the-sake-of-it "ooh I don't consume anything popular" attitude. I mean Mr Silly's Bedtime Song has 5 billion views on youtube are you really going to try and tell me that you've never heard it before 020
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Weirdly enough I actually enjoy writing, like all the other freaky little gremlins who fancy themselves authors, so advertising your gibbering AI parrot as a means to avoid having to write anything myself is like offering to eat my food for me 000

Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 05/10/2026looking at twitter wistfully and thinking that maybe, just maybe, we could create our own little slice of hell. Just have to try really hard 020
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 05/10/2026idk what this site is for, exactly. I stopped using twitter because [vague gesture] and this place is, well, it feels like the only thing stopping it from being [vague gesture] is the staff just aren't dedicated enough to really buckle down and make the site the worst it could be 160
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Life is precious, and sacrosanct, and that's why you can't wish death on a massively powerful murderous piece of shit who you'll never be able to materially effect or challenge. Let's have a touch of civility as the world burns. Don't be uncouth as the meat sloughs off your nasty little bones 071
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 02/10/2026"wrt to" can't even blame autocorrect for that one I'm getting up too early 000
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I just saw the BBC use "wrench attack" as a term wrt to using violence to steal cryptocurrency and was XKCD the first to use that or was it just the first place I happened to see it 120
Reposted by Edcrabhunter (comms open!) @hrpixelart.com · 01/10/2026Sorry to keep bringing this post back, but I haven't had consistent work in months, and my most recent offer fell apart after I mentioned needing to be paid money. So if you want to pay a pixel artist with over a decade of industry experience, that's me! 📧 hunter@hrpixelart.com 💻 www.hrpixelart.com 27468
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Look, 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 · 29/09/2026You 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 · 29/09/2026Anti-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 · 26/09/2026wow look at this DiceBastard44 is being a complete bastard (while rolling dice). I went to the trouble of re-uploading the video so you don't have to give him views because you need to watch it for some reason 010
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 · 25/09/2026Get 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"an AI can do your job competently and safely" versus "the industry is going to get fucked up by the people who think an AI can do your job" 000
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 · 23/09/2026We don't need to fear a rogue computer wanting to kill all of humanity we need to fear the deranged fuckheads who use LLMs as an excuse to steadily make the world worse 010
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

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 · 09/09/2026I recover with "Shattered Saga of Vengeance" and this guy just snapped his fingers and pointed at me. I think that's good. Is that good. Am I getting through to them or did he tell his goons to steal my kidneys. Maybe both 000
Edcrab @edcrab.bsky.social · 09/09/2026No I fumbled that. Surely it'd be Infinity Ragnarok as the title and Broken Chronicles of Revenge as the subtitle. Noooo the investors are losing interest. They're looking at their phones 110
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
