Also, those kids weren't even rowdy. I'd have loved to teach that class.

Approaching that scenario with compassion and empathy works better. Don't get me wrong, you need to keep boundaries, but taking everything they say and do personally will destroy you.

They aleady don't give a shit about authority, so doubling down on that turns it into a game of how long it takes before they make you lose your cool. Don't do that.

Yelling at kids and taking a "Tough" approach doesn't work like that. Once you walk in all attitude and "I'M THE BOSS", you're giving those kids something to undermine. They've already got people who yell at them in their lives, and you're one that's not allowed to hit them.

Gonna say something that might come off wrong, but it needs to be said: I recently re-watched To Sir With Love, and it didn't age well.

"He says it like it is" Two minutes later "No, not like that"

@lazerpig.bsky.social I've heard you talk about the F-14/15/16 but would love to hear your thoughts on the F-18.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

Somebody posted about pronouncing Grimace the same way they pronounce Versace and I've never been the same

Can y'all stand on your own principles for once. How can you say you're against genAI but then shrug it off when there's proof of it being used in the ✨new shiny game you're playing✨ ''Well, it's fun'' Susan, if something being FUN is all it takes for you to drop your own morals then... wowee 💀

I'm just glad the reaction to this one is as appropriately disgusted and horrified as it has been You're better people than you think.

It never sunk in as a kid, with Timothy McVeigh and Saddam Hussein being executed on live television, just how fucked up that really is. Absolutely disgusting

There's a quote from Serenity that really encapsulates this game. "You know what a hero is? Someone who gets other people killed" This game still stands out in my mind as the most sobering experience I have ever had as a gamer.

"...why?" "You brought this on yourself" "...we were helping." "What?" Right here. Right at this moment when you realize everything that he's seeing is all your fault. This game changed me.

Give me the ability to play as the sluttiest character I can. If men don't like it, I'll make it even sluttier.
