Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Back in 2021, I watched AEW Double or Nothing on a whim. It's no exaggeration to say that the main event—Pac vs Kenny Omega vs Orange Cassidy for the World Title—is one of the main reasons I found my passion for wrestling. Rest in peace to Benjamin "Pac" Satterley, one of my all-time favorites. 040

Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Normally, when you announce layoffs, you just have to eat the bad vibes. That's the reality of it. But Xbox has been carefully trickling these announcements, and successfully appealing to certain communities with one good thing among the thousands of tragedies. And it's working. Eugh. 110

It randomizes items across different games and you (and your friends) need to try sending items to each other from one game to another. It's wild! And Demon Tides has an Archipelago mod I'll link below. 416127
Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Earlier this year, there were several videos and outlets criticizing Mina the Hollower for how ineffectively it communicated an entrance into one of the game's most important areas. I never spared it a thought because I thankfully understood it immediately. The Wolverine stuff is an inverse of that. 120

It's about human form, jealousy and male entitlement to the female form, freedom of form, gods taking form. Understanding the extent of human meddling in the universe's plan. So fun. 152

Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 12/08/2026The one thing no tutorial, no video, or anything else will ever teach you about playing video games is that playing video games incorrectly is actually playing games correctly. If you don't do dumb shit only you would do to test things in games, you are depriving yourself of your own stories. 010
Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Yesterday I played Titanic II: Orchestra for Dying at Sea (2022). Free on Steam. Somehow. Very cool. You really FELT like you were dying at sea. 000
Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Perhaps the reason why I'm finding so much love for video game hubs in recent years is due to the amount of games about a dying world in a post-Dark Souls world. Its influence on video game stories is overwhelming. Sometimes I want to feel like a part of a fictional community. 020
Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It doesn't seem to have mattered to anyone watching the film, but the trailers for the new Spider-Man had such insane physics to the parkour. Spidey would just tap an object and launch himself to insane lengths without leaving a dent on the object. It's like when you clip on the swing in GTA. 000
Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I love being part of dozens of communities and checking in every now and then, but whenever I look into any one community having discussions, it makes me just truly miserable.

Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 23/07/2026One thing that I think will ultimately be lost to AI in the foreseeable future is ads, and I'm personally already feeling a huge wave of appreciation for the works of all kinds of artists that worked on commercials, logos, etc. I see so many AI ads nowadays it makes me wanna vomit. 000

Werty800 @werty800.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I love Witcher 1. It's my favorite in the trilogy. I won't talk about it much online based on the stuff I've seen.
