@KS Every time I see jumbo playing cards, I think "I wonder if those would work in a homemade Card Sharks game..."

internet edgelords and crappy gotchas 

Nothing is more head-scratching than idiots going "AHA I FOUND OLD TWEETS YOU SAID LIKE 7 YEARS AGO THAT HAVE YOU SAYING BAD THINGS, AREN'T YOU A HYPOCRITE"

Do they not realize people usually *grow* and improve as time goes on?

Now if they were still saying that stuff today, you'd have an argument. But if they renounced that stuff, isn't that worth a pass?

struggling to sleep, staying up 'til 8AM, then sleeping 'til Noon is not something I recommend, tbh

@maple it's funny to see this considering I've been thinking of writing a post about a game that has matt furniss music in it

I hate quoting a dipshit PUA for that, but it's the only appropriate way to describe the whole YouTube "Anti-SJW gamer" fandom at this point.

@KS Good.

Now I will cackle in amusement as the stars of that show struggle to find work that doesn't typecast them since they were on it for so long.

Also proof I'm a dork:

I put the full date in the tags whenever available.

Thus I'm experiencing (some of) 1967 as I speak, starting with The Rolling Stones' Ruby Tuesday, to Jimi Hendrix's debut, a bunch of Beatles, and ending with The Who's I Can See For Miles.

It's really interesting when you listen to music this way.

Going through my music collection chronologically.

It started with nothing but Elvis and Miles Davis since that's all of my '50s stuff.

Now I'm in the psychedelic rock phase and stuff like Sgt. Pepper.

It's interesting because it gives me a decent snapshot of how music evolved even within a decade, from teenybopper pop to the later hard rock/heavy metal that would start to bloom in the early '70s.

Davis' Law is basically "If you mention a brand on Twitter without directly @ing at them, expect a response even if you didn't want it."

A reference to this old Giant Bombcast clip: youtube.com/watch?v=Kqla_qUGiT

Love two mention a weird occurrence of seeing a restaurant delivery at a doctor's office only to get a response from the brand's Twitter account because I mentioned the name.

Davis' Law is always in effect, and it's why social media will always be stupid.

Speaking of technological aesthetics, there’s one in particular that has been and needs to continue coming back...

TRANSPARENCY.

social media, birdsite, transphobia 

Obligatory "don't read the replies" to people rightfully calling it out.

Like I saw a distorted gif of Peter Griffin going "who the hell cares" in the replies. It's like they don't have an argument. :blobrollingeyes:

The Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account did a "Did you assume my gender" joke and I'm like...

ughhhhhhhhhhhh :blobangery:

@catgirl Bag a Neematoad needs to be a thing again, it's time.

Falling down a rabbit hole of watching random Starcade episodes.

Probably the best show G4 ever aired, tbh

Also I wish John sczeczczelpaniak had an easier-to-spell last name (or a pen name), because I keep thinking there's a t somewhere in his last name when there isn't.

Show thread

I was reading a fair share last month but now after trying to stomach John Szczepaniak's interviews with Japanese developers and an extremely wordy version of Metro 2033, I stopped.

Time to find a new book, and I don't think it's gonna be on Kindle...
