a friend was streaming the eden raids on discord and that slight text distortion... i almost laughed out loud, which would have been confusing.

A screenshot of dialogue from FFXIV. The text, from the character Mitron, is supposed to read: "Oh, Loghrif, how long has it been... How long have I dreamed of this day." Unfortunately the word "dreamed" looks like it starts with a C.

i feel this in my bones. been leveling paladin on an alt and every alliance raid roulette feels like it would be this if i weren't there to grab adds lmao

The "mother ignores drowning child" meme showing the mother with the label "main tank", the first child happily not drowning labeled "the tank who keeps provoking on cooldown", the drowning child labeled "the healers trying to keep everyone alive", and the skeleton at the bottom labeled "the DPS who ate it to the adds nobody tanked."

i should lend you my show hole hat

The back of a baseball hat that says "show your" with a graphic of three quarters of a circle broken into thirds. It is a reference to the "show hole" joke from Final Fantasy XIV.

Yikes, you have to decide whether she just did this on purpose, or if she used an LLM that hallucinated it. Not a single good option in the room.

A screenshot of a portion of the article in the quoted post. It reads:

Her litany of errors in 2026 includes deadnaming and misgendering a competing trans journalist who broke a story for one of her competitors! This was seven months ago, and the deadname is still up as of writing.

This wasn’t just any story. It was Nate Zuke’s first article that we can find. Many of you have already read it: ‘She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway.’

It was excellent reporting; arguably one of the most important trans news stories written by a trans journalist this year.

And it was Erin Reed who deadnamed him to her audience of hundreds of thousands.

She wears dark black lipstick and thick black eyeliner, and wears a cropped leather shirt with a fur collar and holds an apple in her right hand. Her entire left arm is covered in tattoos.

now why would you do this in an establishment full of drunken people

A picture of the label on the women's restroom in a bar, which has a picture of a woman figure and the prominent word Mná, which I definitely misread as man, with a much smaller easily missed word "ladies" underneath.

genAI could never make a joke this stupid (complimentary)

A screenshot from AFK journey showing a skeleton wearing armor and scratching his head. His name is Dayd, spelled D A Y D, which seems like it would either pronounced as dead or died.

lmao the writing in this game has gotten so sassy

A screenshot from AFK Journey. In the background. Evie says: Headmistress Zorya, I must remind you that if anything goes wrong during the spellcasting process, you will be arrested under the laws of the Lightbearer Empire.

In the foreground, the player has two dialogue options. The first option reads: Don't do that! She's the only one who can save me! The second option reads: Don't threaten my surgeon before the operation!

game dev must be fun when they're not laying everybody off

A screenshot from Elder Scrolls Online showing the words "skyshard absorbed." Below the text are two rocks side by side. Behind the two rocks, nestled between them, is a skyshard sticking out the ground. The placement of the rocks and skyshard makes them look like a dick and balls.

me forcing yoshi-p to add True to Form back to the game

A screenshot of some FFXIV dialogue from a quest that was removed from the game.
Yda says: Hmm... Too easy... A-HA! Why don't you tell us what you think of F'lhaminn?
Thancred says: ...Truly? You would have me speak of the Songstress of Ul'dah? As you will. She is as an exquisite rose that withers not with the passing of years─
Y'shtola says: Charming as ever. I daresay you are perpetually beset upon all sides by swooning beauties...?
Thancred says: Please, Y'shtola─I do not seek to make them swoon. Poetry rises unbidden to my lips when I behold a maiden's fair countenance. 'Tis the curse of my minstrel blood.
Y'shtola says: Enough. If this is not the real Thancred, then I believe we have found a suitable replacement.

Don't mind me, I'm thinking about Velsa. 😍 I love my grumpy dunmer lesbian grandma who probably hates me (slightly less than she hates everyone else).

ah, yes yes, my memory is correct. it was removed in 2018. bsky.app/profile/vesa...

A screenshot from the No Man's Sky wiki page for Thamium 9. It reads:

Use: Thamium9 is an obsolete resource and no longer has a purpose in the game.

Additional information: Thamium9 can be sold in the Marketplace.
It can be found as an atmospheric component on the Exploration Guide.

Release history: Release - original game element. NEXT - removed from the game. Origins - listed in the composition of planetary atmospheres, but has no effect on gameplay.

my relationship with my wife is complicated

A picture of a discord conversation between Jess and I. Jess shares her results from the dialect test, showing that she is most like the northeast and least like literally everywhere else. I share my image, which shows I am least like the north east, and then say "this is why we argue."

jack @vesaldi.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Was just ranting at Jess about gym shoes earlier.

What gave you away? Answers that point most strongly to Illinois.

What is your general term for the rubber soled shoes worn in gym class, for athletic activities, etc? Gymshoes.

What is your general term for a big road that you drive relatively fast one? A freeway free, a highway isn't.

Crayon. As in man.

Do you pronounce cot and caught the same? Different.
