JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 17hIf they don't believe in supporting us unless the Conditions Are Perfect™ then they just don't believe in supporting us period. Which means they are owed nothing. They are not owed votes, support, or donations. Those are things they need to work for. 130
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 17hNot the first to say this but I think liberals need to be reminded that ally-ship is not a given. There is a swell of liberals who are enthusiastic to trade the rights and safety of others for their own comfort and material gain - with the promise that in better days they'll help others. 250

JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I don't want to re-read his terrible apology but I'm pretty sure he did actually minimize it by calling it an assault and not SA - so the people saying that are also wrong! (probably, again, not re-reading it for my own sanity) 130
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 06/10/2026"Here's why Microsoft raising GamePass prices for the third time this year is great for gamers!" 020
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026And that gives me so much more of a rush than highly produced, explosive action set pieces That I know my own abilities and its abilities so deeply but can still walk away from a fight going "Well that was different" has such an impact on me and always leaves me wanting more 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Realizing that my favorite games are ones that are learnable but still will surprise me with novelty. I have fought Rathalos thousands of times across nearly a dozen games (ignoring expansions). But I can still be surprised or encounter a totally unique situation 100

JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The OSTs for both Dragon's Dogma games are so good. Even in many of the boss themes, there is something really hopeful to the music. Inspiring. Every time I visit Gran Soren I feel uplifted (which makes later events in the game more impactful as well)! youtu.be/NFmzAkEaKCo?...youtu.beDragon's Dogma - Gran SorenYouTube video by Underrated Game Beats 110
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Bad news? Woke up with an extremely painful Diverticulitis flare-up. Good news? It's happened so many times the Doctor didn't even need to verify, just called in antibiotics to save me not having to go back and forth to the office. 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Thanks so much! Looking forward to trying this out It'd be so nice to veg out in bed and play 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I keep intending to do this but it seems pretty intimidating to set up on a Thor. It's hard to set up on a PC! Did you follow a particular guide or resource? 110
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Beyond the terrible blog post itself, the way she's individually thanking every (like 80% male) response praising her had my jaw drop. I've hesitated to say it but it really feels like she's using her rape apologia to do Pick Me shit and it's just brutal to see. 040
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 04/10/2026That and the Final Fantasy 4 Celtic Moon album are beautiful 130
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 04/10/2026All of the "This really sums up my complex feelings" comments, which are like 80% men, that she's individually replying to with thanks is fucking bleak. 011
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Maybe if they stopped laying off the veteran developers after finishing a game there would still be people around who knew how to make these really big, complex games that shareholders insist they make! But that'd be silly. 070
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 04/10/2026If you have someone in your life who you find consistently playing devil's advocate, I think for the good of everyone else, you should point out that they're not being brave but just looking for ways to be an asshole with plausible deniability 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Some of these people are getting off on playing devil's advocate and engaging with them is what they want But its probably a case by case thing. Check how long the account has been active, if they've ever posted anything that isn't just baiting arguments, etc 060
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think this is actually a super fair assessment of how leveling in XI can feel I sort of love the flow state I get put into well playing But I also play XIV, which moves incredibly fast, so if I need something a little more hectic, I can always head of there 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 03/10/2026FFXI is actually an amazing game if you struggle with dissociation I'll zonk out for 15 minutes then come back and just resume fighting Bats and Caterpillars like nothing happened Most other games tend to start to really stress me out when the episodes are very close together and I just cant play 050
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It does make you feel a bit like a crazy person when you're doing it haha 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It absolutely is! Unless they've changed something, you just kind of stand next to them and shout. 110
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I love the Crystal Chronicle series. It's so good and hits multiple genres. The soundtracks are universally amazing too. ARPGs? Check!

JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 02/10/2026many devs aren't* willing labeling themselves as using AI Sorry, sleepy! 010
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Its good the rule is there but unfortunately many devs are willingly labeling themselves as using AI I don't really know what the solution to devs willfully skirting the rules should be to stop that, short of hitting them with fines or kicking them off the platform 310
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I wish all the new players good luck on the first boss of the game. Getting past the PlayOnline launcher. 0202
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 30/09/2026And if Sander's shouldn't of been supported by the Democratic establishment, despite caucusing with them and turning out votes for them, why should *anyone* who shares his political views (or is to the left of them) consider Democrats their ally? 030
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"Messing with Hillary" is completely ahistoric. He campaigned harder for her than she campaigned for herself He campaigned more for her than when she was expected to campaign for Obama. More Clinton voters (PUMA) swung to McCain than Sander's voters went to Trump. 140
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"What more could we do?" was a big sentiment among the community at the time. Big gut punch. 020
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 30/09/2026When Legends 3 got cancelled Capcom did a weird thing where they blamed fans for not participating in the games developmen It was such offputting behavior and I think ultimately a mask for how resentful they still were towards Keiji Inafune for leaving Capcom, turning Mega into a punching bag 130
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 30/09/2026These people are all so weird. If they don't find it morally wrong to use AI - why argue against disclosing it? They believe its a useful tool, they believe its original work. So why hide that from others? Its such cowardly behavior. 111
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 29/09/2026They've also probably not changed their minds and will just find someone a little subtler about the changes they want to make, which is worse. 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's always seconds after being questioned by one minority that a liberal will use another minority as a human shield. 050
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think that's def one way to look at it! I like to think of it as like, I'm going to be okay in the end, and anyone between me and being okay is probably going to be in for a bad time 000
JBRetro @jbretro.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have like a dozen games where I'm probably an hour away from the finish line and I actively avoid them because I want those games to last forever 030
