iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I went to the open house of my own secondary school with my kid (yup, already), and I happened to mention to a teen there that this was my school and I’d graduated in 2001, and she started asking me questions as if she’d just met a living encino man

It’s really, really good that one of the FFXII hunts is secretly a sting operation on Ba’gamnan

I appreciate that you can get an easy fight against FFXII Gilgamesh so you can Leo point at the fanservice and then he fucks off and you can ignore the superboss version of Gilgamesh and still get a nice LP bounty out of it

I don't understand how they did it but I'm never really stumped in Blue Prince it's incredible for how much randomness this game has that I always seem to find a lead just when I feel like I might run dry

It’s like it’s trying to trick you by being a pretty reasonable normie list until you get into the late 30s where Crimes start to happen

Have entered the Pharos at Ridorana, which I choose to believe is the last “real” dungeon in the game. Blindly believing it’s a Ganon in the pyramid sorta situation for the final boss here.

Gonna be honest kinda would do the Destiny 2 vanilla campaign when they unvault it

It's fucking weird that after linking my WB account to get a free Lego Batman skin, I'm now getting an e-mail every couple days reminding me to play Lego Batman, a single player game, and did I know the Joker is in there like there's no microtransactions in there guys, it's a single player game

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

It’s kinda wild that there isn’t a Breath of Fire HD collection of any kind yet

It’s kind of endearing that the western Silent Hill fandom looks from the outside to be comprised entirely of Eyepatch Wolf, Voidburger and Sebmal, and also something something circumcision. Those are the main poles of it.

I’ve heard rumors of “bixis” being available on the racks in residential areas at the time I need them. Such tales are often mocked as foolish delusions.

Ma position et celle de @quebecsolidaire.bsky.social sur la Palestine est claire : il faut rompre les liens avec Israël, un embargo sur les armes et désinvestir le bas de laine des Québécois dans l’économie qui profite du génocide.

I love this future where if you accidentally click absolutely anywhere remotely near a Youtube window you're thrown into a minutes-long hell of unskippable ads to get back to where you were or if you leave off a video and then want to start again, oops it forgot where you were
