Can confirm now that Echo Weaver from @moonlightkids.bsky.social is a very excellent game. I love Metroidvanias and this is a fun twist on that with such good moments even this early into it.

Game Pass Ultimate costs $23 a month. Let's not say that Gears was 'free' with Game Pass, ok? Game Pass isn't free. The framing is ludicrous.

This is true but it did give me a swag clip using Bloodhound Fang where I accidentally jumped his attack with that weapon’s ash of war

Made cheddar apple twits for Fall. They look heinous because Pillsbury puff pastry was the wrong brand to use for the shape I needed, but they still taste fantastic because it’s sweetened apple, cheese and pastry.

Our cat does a similar thing. Totally cuddly and cool with me indoors. But if she is on our screened in porch and I walk into the backyard I’m a horrifying intruder she must immediately flee from indoors.

This was great. Played this back in the day with a friend trying to solve puzzles and I recall how specific the PhotoShop segment was to getting things scaled right or you’d fail.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.
An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

I do love their first few albums especially, but they are kind of a millennial generation band given “Last Night” hit when I was in High School. I’ve seen them live a few times and they’ve always been pretty solid, but I think Julian is a bit much and why they took a break a few years back

One of the last Bonnaroo’s I attended I’d wanted to see the Strokes and Beirut, but they were on at the same time and we picked the Strokes. They were late to set because Julian Casablancas wanted to see Beirut too so he stayed for the start of their set. So yeah he is

The last time I moved mine in 2020 it involved getting my old account cashed out to a check, which I then has to bring to the office and hand to HR so it could be moved to my new account. A whole 12 years of saving on a check in my jacket…

I’m definitely feel achievements should be “you get it how you get it”. They’re mostly important on an individual level, so let it focus on that vs making it some broad competition
