Hey, @bloodgodpod.bsky.social were kind and naive enough to let me talk about Sakura Wars for two hours. Today can be YOUR day that ends with "Y", too. \o/

An even bigger, deader, emptier desert dotted with tiny islands of content, and the only way you can get anywhere at a semi reasonable pace is to play a 15-second song for Vi-O-La and choose a direction for a tailwind.

My middle name was supposed to be a reference to Erica Fontaine from Sakura Wars 3, but the town clerk screwed up when typing it in. I've just been too lazy to get it changed since.

In Nazi Germany, there was a saying - Wenn das der Führer wüsste - "if the Fuhrer knew". It was a way to absolve Hitler of wrongdoing by arguing that he was oblivious to the actions of his subordinate who supposedly concealed information, and that he would otherwise stop them. This reeks of that.

Yeah, I can't deny that. Good people cannot become billionaires. The system we reside in rewards sociopathy and punishes empathy. And those who aren't quickly get there because being rich isolates you from humanity as a design feature. If you had Jeff Bezos money, you'd be everything you despise.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Had a little time to mess around with this yesterday - got through the parade master. It's an impressive port - looks great, runs well. Very much the same game I devoured back in 2024. Shame the studio doesn't exist anymore. Would have loved a sequel.

The people saying "book bans are good for book sales" and that "AI is here to stay, just accept it" are basically saying the same thing: that you should be quiet about harmful things and accept the status quo. Which is why you should scream and keep screaming against harmful systems.

Not to put too fine a point on here, but if I see you do THAT cosplay, I’m unfollowing you because you literally gave that wretched TERF bitch your money.
A pair of Tweets relating that people are buying up Slytherine robes from various stores, likely to capitalize on the R63 Draco art trend.

I love how, when paging through these threads, the simple "I don't care so it probably won't even register" doesn't seem to cross their minds. Like... I haven't played GTA since GTAIV, back in 2008. Not my game, I just don't care. Rather, Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea ships very soon. I'm good.
