True Blue Spark @truebluespark.com · 18/07/2026Here's another one I hate: the "share" menu, when posts are visible to logged-out users vs. when they're not. 070
True Blue Spark @truebluespark.com · 17/06/2026I saw this page going around and thought, "Hmm, maybe I can fill up a chart with 9 games I love that aren't as widely known." Reader, I filled TWO. My tastes run toward platformers and puzzlers, so if you enjoy either or both of those, please check out some of these fun games! 130
True Blue Spark @truebluespark.com · 03/06/2026Just in time for pride month, received these adorable rat stickers as a giveaway from @eondraws.bsky.social and @alblune.bsky.social ! Thank you! And if you like rats and puzzles, definitely check out Squeakross, the best picross game I've ever played: store.steampowered.com/app/2871440/... 1284
True Blue Spark @truebluespark.com · 05/09/2025Saw this going around without alt text, so I wanted to share a transcribed version. Why *should* Gen Z accept "delayed gratification" when they've watched Gen X and Millennials get cheated out of it? Charlie here is absolutely right. 000
True Blue Spark @truebluespark.com · 31/08/2025This thought pops into my head almost daily, so I finally illustrated it. Apologies to Bill Watterson. 000
True Blue Spark @truebluespark.com · 22/07/2025Just want to give a shout-out to Ironmouse and her fans, in the meme-est way possible. 110
True Blue Spark @truebluespark.com · 03/12/2024I can (and probably will) share more later, but the standout for me right now is The Moon on A Rainy Night. Cute romance and a deep exploration of living with disabilities -- one of the leads is hard of hearing. And an anime adaptation was just recently announced! 030
![[A comment by @charlierosesmith3807 on an unknown YouTube video. Originally one paragraph, here broken up for readability.]
As a gen Z American, here's my two cents on the take that our generation can't handle delayed gratification: we've watched the promise of "delayed gratification" fail Gen X and Millennials repeatedly in real time because we've had access to the internet since childhood.
In elementary and middle school, I watched in real time on TV and online as Gen X had their entire life savings wiped out by the 2008-2009 depression, and as a teenager and college kid I've seen Millennials get absolutely shafted by jobs and degrees that went in promising them stable lives and then repeatedly ripped the rug out from under them, leaving millennials with no solid career progression or economic betterment to show after over a decade of consistent effort.
Even outside of the internet, I've watched my grandfather, who was a computer programmer at IBM in the 60s, have his pension retroactively canceled after being a pensioner for decades, and I've watched this man in his 80s who's had two heart attacks have to go back to work 4 days of the week as an Uber driver to make ends meet, after he spent three decades of his life in a high paid office job that promised him healthcare and pension and the entire American dream.
I don't have it in me to put up with the same shit. Maybe it's bratty and short-sighted, but I've watched enough people older than me have enough of their decades of life ripped from them with the false promises of later rewards, so to my mind saying "this will pay off for you in the future" means you're not actually planning on paying out, you're hoping you can take advantage of my patience and goodwill.
Pay me my rewards now, or I'll assume you'll never intend to actually reward me.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vucsrmw4qldl2pyzgh7athxa/bafkreic2qgip3o3bipzyhdffqvko7fyy435tnfrpfauplwnuoptl2ppcuq)
