okay fine, i'll do the my9games.net thing. there's a couple notable games i played at friends houses (goldeneye, super mario 64, mario 6 gold coins, dark forces, a link to the past) and some that i couldn't fit (warcraft 2, starcraft, escape velocity nova, red alert 2, jedi knight 2), but oh well!

"my 9 games: the 9 games that shaped who i am"

bolo (1987), escape velocity (1996), command & conquer (1995), the legend of zelda: link's awakening (1993), zombie smasher x (2001), roller coaster tycoon (1999), unreal tournament (1999), star wars: rebel assault 2 (1995), myst (1993)

I’ve noticed that sometimes people online think constructive criticism is a way to humanize or engage with an account they like, perhaps to feel included. I’m not quite sure I understand the impulse, but I think we can, as a society, say it’s a faux pas lol

one time i had an interview with the whole engineering department over breakfast at a nearby diner. i asked to finish someone's pancakes towards the end. i got the job and still see those folks regularly 7 years later, well after we've all moved on to different jobs.

i wanna reload all the tabs in firefox, which i remember it can do. right click a tab, no "reload all tabs". search "how to reload all tabs" on kagi. click firefox support q/a and the reply from 2011 is "it's built in. right click and select 'reload all tabs'" chat, what's the opposite of progress?

Something that helped me was realizing you don't need a threshold of experiences to be able to "call yourself" a bisexual. Like we don't think of heterosexuality that way.

most of you were MILDLY inconvenienced by maybe three fellow humans in masks in the last year but you're ready to call them vicious parasites unworthy of public life for suggesting that a news article might be framed to engender that exact response in you 🤷🏽‍♀️

if you're ever considering catering to CovidConscious(TM) people, reread this article and remind yourself that they're vicious, self-centered little parasites. give an inch, lose a mile.

There are people in the replies and QTs continuing the tactics of these bar patrons by insisting this never should have been reported on

my 4 year old has spent months talking about kirby air riders, absolutely pumped to play it. but once we got it from the library, we learned it's hard as shit and he comes in last place even when we turn the difficulty to lowest. poor little guy just wants to race as kirby 😭

inside cars 2 is a good "embarrassing friend meets cool friends" world grand prix movie where mater hurts mcqueen's races, and an excellent mater's tall tales short about the time he was a secret agent. sadly, they're the same movie and both halves suffer. 2/5 stars

everyone wants to tell artists what to do and i wish we could shift to telling audiences what to do sometimes. if you liked webcomics that were on tapas, follow somewhere else. learn to use RSS. don't let the seamlessness of apps turn your brain into soup. you can change your habits

speaking of crying, i'm at the point where instead of feeling a rush of anger when my kids frustrate me, i burst into tears. it's liberating. crying isn't very helpful, but it feels so good to not feel angry. i can just be frustrated and sad and sit in it. what a gift.

occasionally i think "maybe i should give one of these llm tools a chance, what's my ethical stance compared to doing X/checking Y/etc?" and then i look at the pricing and i'm like "no thank, i like not paying to program, it's nice to save money"
