thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 11/09/2025And also while you’re at it, look through some of your past social media posts and try to see how someone with a different viewpoint might perceive you based on what you’ve been putting out there 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 11/09/2025The point I’m trying to make is, before you point the finger at anyone, or lecture anyone about needing to “tone down the rhetoric”, maybe take a moment and look through some of the reactions to what happened yesterday and apply some critical thinking skills. 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 11/09/2025And Trump immediately blamed the left despite the fact that the killer still hasn’t been identified, and he even suggested that he may crack down on leftists in America. Now take a moment and reflect on those very different reactions to the same incident 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, Elon Musk didn’t even wait until Kirk’s death was confirmed before he posted that the Democrats are “the party of murder.” 120
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 11/09/2025He then told his audience not to watch it because it was too gruesome, and said that despite his disagreements with Kirk, he was not happy about him being murdered 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 11/09/2025🧵Something to think about: Yesterday, Hasan Piker, who is a left-wing political commentator and probably one of the most demonized people by the right, watched the video of Charlie Kirk’s assassination live on stream and was visibly horrified. 120
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I bit the bullet a a couple weeks ago and got one. I was gonna wait until more games came out for it, but then I saw they were in stock and figured with tariffs about to kick in again now was probably as good a time as any 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 09/08/2025I acknowledge that. Frankly, I’d rather live in an environment where people take that seriously and report it. Thank you for caring, and I do mean that. I’ve been on social media long enough to where I’m not scared to bite back if someone is acting like a troll 010
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 09/08/2025I haven’t been suicidal for several years. I promise I’m fine, I was just reacting to a troll comment. Trust me, if was going to do that, I wouldn’t announce it to strangers on the internet 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Maybe I’ll just kill myself instead 😀 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 09/08/2025I’m not sure I’d call Bluesky mom & pop considering it was founded by Jack Dorsey. I literally do not care about this enough to want to argue about it multiple days. I’ll mute the conversation if I have to 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/08/2025I’m not telling anyone not to like Bluesky, use whatever platform you want. I’m literally just stating that another platform has more users. And it’s kinda wild to me that I’m getting pushback for that. Like I don’t know if this is a tribalism thing or what 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/08/2025For the record, I really have no affinity for any platform at this point. I'm at the point where I'm one minor inconvenience away from deleting all social media. I'm simply pointing out that I can definitely tell that Bluesky has the smaller user base just from being here 110
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Honestly, the people I see hyping up Bluesky the most seem to like it because it happens to be the platform their friends settled on. Which makes me wonder if they wouldn't be just as happy with a Discord server. But every time I open Threads, it always seems WAY more active 210
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/08/2025I'm actually pretty sure you can now have a Threads account without having Instagram. Besides, that doesn't change the fact that Bluesky's growth and activity has definitely slowed. I've noticed it. Lately, everytime I open this app, it's always the same 20 people posting. 110
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Threads came out after Bluesky and yet it averaged over 300 million active users in the first quarter of this year. 410
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Compared to Twitter and Thread's user base, yes it is. That's not a defense of either platform, because they both suck in their own way, but Bluesky's userbase seems to have plateaued a bit. Just for reference, Threads came out after Bluesky and it currently has over 300 million monthly users. 110
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Out of all the decades, I’d love to know how the 90s, the one that produced grunge, which is arguably the most liberal movement in rock history, somehow equates to MAGA. Not to mention all the social commentary from the rap music back then. 130
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 29/07/2025Depending on the game, sometimes they are. Heck, in Twilight Princess, Ilia is Link’s love interest. But, then again, there have been games like TOTK where it was implied that they were living together. And one of the devs pretty much confirmed that they’re a couple in that game 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Also, I can understand some people not liking South Park because it can be gross and vulgar, but hating it because it occasionally makes fun of liberals is childish. If you want to be in a cult that can’t take a joke or acknowledge when people on your side are acting crazy, then be a Republican 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 25/07/2025With all the conversation about South Park I’ve seen today, all I want to add is, if you thought Trey Parker and Matt Stone were right wing, then you’ve clearly never watched an episode of their show. If I had to describe them as anything, I’d say they’re chaotic neutral. 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 23/07/2025That’s why I don’t play a lot of “tribute games.” Even something like Bravely Default. Everyone keeps telling me that it’s exactly like FF5. But the problem with that is, if I’m in the mood to play FF5, then I’ll just play FF5. If I’m going to buy a brand new game, I’d like it to be a new experience 130
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 20/07/2025So…I’ve done nuzlockes before, but I’m a little confused as to how a nuzlocke tournament is supposed to work. Is everyone going to battle with a team of 6 until one of the teams has no Pokémon left? Or is it a competition to see who can make it through an entire playthrough with the fewest deaths? 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Depends. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve began to realize that there are some battles that aren’t worth picking. I’ve learned to not waste the effort on certain things 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Honestly, I don’t even feel like celebrating at this point 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 03/07/20252) I’m going to be 30 years old in September. At this point in life, I’m done coddling grown adults who complain about things like movies or video games. I simply do not care, nor do I have the energy to argue about it anymore. Because there’s a lot more important things to worry about in life 130
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 03/07/2025My two thoughts on this: 1) If raising prices is Nintendo’s excuse for not laying off employees, then I guess I’m fine paying the higher price. It’s not like other gaming companies haven’t found other ways to nickel and dime you 230
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Until some conservative PAC sues the city and the Supreme Court cites some obscure law from the 1830s as a reason for why no city is allowed to have affordable rent. Because at this point, I’d be more shocked if that didn’t happen 0130
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 24/06/2025To be fair, I’ve never really followed any esports communities, but the stereotype I’ve always heard about pro Smash players is that they are a bunch of incels who never shower. I knew someone in college who went to a melee tournament and he told me it was the worst smelling place he ever went to 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Yeah, I’ve always felt Zoro was justified in his hatred for him 110
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 16/06/2025I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Sanji is kinda trash 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 05/06/2025This feels like that one really toxic couple from high school who everyone knew were bad for each other finally getting into a shouting match in front everyone in the cafeteria 020
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Over the last couple weeks, I’ve spent very little time here and on social media in general. And I can’t say I’ve missed it much. I’ve reached a point where I just find it exhausting to interact with chronically online people, even if they’re on the same side of the political spectrum as me 010
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Also, as far as tax returns go, if you’re getting one, it actually means that you’re not deducting as much off your paycheck as you could. If you did, then you would break even when you filed your taxes. Assuming you’re a regular employee and not on a 1099 or something like that 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Hi. Bachelors degree in business with an accounting minor here. What you said isn’t true. You still make the same over a two week period regardless of when you get paid. As long as your yearly income remains the same, you’re still getting taxed just the same overall on a yearly basis 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Outside of social media, I see very little hate for that game. But that’s just one example 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 23/05/2025For example, I follow a fair amount of people here, but every time I open this app, it kinda feels like the same 20-30 people sharing their opinions. So when a couple people with a bunch of followers hates on a game like FF16, it makes it feel like the game is more polarizing than it actually is 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Honestly, I’ve been starting to tune out social media opinions when it comes to video games. I feel like in the case of Bluesky, its gaming community is still kinda small and insular, and I’m not sure it’s indicative of how the greater public feels about things. 100
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Breath of the Wild. Loved every minute of it, but huge open world games like that are hard to revisit, especially after putting 200+ hours into it 010
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Make no mistake, I still hate Trump with every fiber of my being, but I am a believer in giving credit where it’s due. This is a genuinely good thing and was frankly overdue. Of course, it’s still ironic that this law meant to protect women was passed by a rapist. Broken clocks, I guess… 0111
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Kefka actually did win. He actually became a god and brought about the end of the world. Whereas you spend all of FF7 trying to prevent Sephiroth from completing his goal, you spend the second half of FF6 trying to undo what Kefka already managed to do 040
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/05/2025I’ve tried to play FF8 multiple times but I can never bring myself to finish it because the core gameplay mechanic frustrates me so much. 010
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Honestly, as much as I hate FF8, if you look at the game only in terms of trying to make everything facilitate the card game, that would make it more enjoyable 110
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/05/2025What ruins the junction system is the fact that magic is treated like a consumable item, and so using magic lowers the stat that the spell is attached to. It’s a self-defeating system and I hate it 230
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/05/2025I will ONLY wear a tie if it’s a Jerry Garcia tie 010
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/05/2025TBH I was going to guess 13 also. That’s usually the safe bet 000
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Well, the two I don’t like are 8 and 13, so I’ll just guess those two 110
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 06/05/2025If shippers cared half as much about dating in real life as they do about who to ship in FF7, they would have been happily married a long time ago 1101
thewingedyoshi.bsky.social @thewingedyoshi.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Never played Tactics (want to), disagree on VIII, but IX is the best one. 010
