i have never been as enthusiastic for anything as this human being is about their credit card provider’s app

Imagine a world where we could have a decent conversation about violence, glorification of imperialism, normalization of far right shit, and other issues with games in general without someone screaming about how they played Doom and didn't shoot up a school, as if direct and immediate causation is the only way something can impact anyone

I fucking hate gamers and their absolute refusal to think about games as anything beyond a personal experience.
They're so permanently scarred by their mom telling them they spend too much time killing people in games when they were 14 that any suggestion that games have any impact of any kind on the world at large sends them into a blind rage.
I hate gamers. I wish I didn't like games so much so I didn't have to spend time with these shits.
welp. here’s basically the last nail in the coffin for me getting the only surgery that could save my life, driven entirely by American healthcare’s profit motive.
i feel… about as un-okay as i possibly could. but very little surprise.
there is nothing holding the left back more nowadays than the intolerable purity culture we have going on, where you have either never done anything wrong your entire life and every single second of every piece of content you put out from the second of your birth to the heat death of the fucking universe is perfect ambrosia wholly without sin or flaw *or* you are an evil traitor demon who spouts libel against the proletariat and who never deserves to log onto the internet again
i would honestly be able to tolerate ContraPoints discourse so much more if it wasn’t *always* just an endless loop of
“wow, a super intelligent trans woman who is absolutely killing it in terms of success lately, helping to spread leftist ideas to huge audiences we usually struggle to reach in intelligent, shareable, digestible ways!
…

but here’s this one research error (in a 40-minute video, from a one-woman team) or a one-off joke that wasn’t conceptualised perfectly, ｃａｎｃｅｌｌｅｄ”
i use Google Play Music for streaming right now, but because it’s being deprecated Eventually™, i thought i’d try out YouTube Music Premium (its future replacement) since access to one gives you access to the other
i just have to ask: how the ever-living hell can the music selection be inconsistent between two services owned by the SAME PEOPLE

I need to pay for faster shipping more often because when I have headphones or something on the way my brain wants to shut down and skip the days in between
i honestly don’t know if i could be any more hyped for VtMB2 than i currently am; vampires will forever be one of my greatest guilty pleasures, and they are *shockingly* underexplored in gaming. what we’ve gotten to see of it so far looks stunning.
seriously, what were the last vampire games we’ve even gotten? Vampyr (which was barely-playable) and DARK (which was *completely* unplayable)? and DARK was yeeeaaarrrs ago
give me my goth bloodsuckers gdi

I feel about the blocking of Gab the way I feel about the Bechdel Test: it’s literally the *least* amount of effort you can put in, not something you should expect a gold star for.
Sure, we should make sure to say “yes, good”, but only in the form of “yes, good, but what else are you going to do”.

Today a user encountered our automated spam filter on Write.as and alleged that we were providing shelter to hate groups. That couldn't be farther from the truth -- enough said.
Still, we've written more about this and how our spam filters work over on the forum: https://discuss.write.as/t/how-spam-filters-work/696

is it just me or does diet cranberry juice taste like really watered-down blood
it’s actually kind of uncanny once i realised how strong the similarities were
i don’t know why i keep looking up “best RPGs” lists as if i haven’t at least tried every single decent WRPG to ever be released between my birth and the current day
it’s slim pickings for RPG fans, man. don’t make me replay a BioWare game for the 97th time, i beg you
if there’s any Pokémon i *might* replace on it, it’d be Froslass; she does have pretty serious difficulties living, and she isn’t usually the lead. or at least turn her into a Destiny Bond trap. still though, she’s my favorite Pokémon, so i try hard to keep her on there, and she *does* do good work against Fighting teams.
my aforementioned mono Ice team: https://pokepast.es/61fe374d80952c93
it wins against Fire and Fighting a lot/most of the time but will basically never win against Steel. Rock is a toss-up.
walling with pure Ice types and being dealt, like, 20% by a supereffective Z-move will honestly never not be funny to me
is there anything more satisfying in Pokémon Showdown than running a monotype Ice team and beating a mono Fire team? (anecdotally, the answer is no)
venting in very unfair ways
