  you forgot:

  • making it mandatory for any 3rd party game to stay exclusive to the NES for 2 years, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
  • suing to make cheating devices like the game genie illegal (they failed, thankfully)
  • suing to make game rentals illegal (they also failed)
  • introducing the lockout chip, normalizing walled gardens on consoles, as well as region locking

  Screenshot of a Twitter post by @kaiklops: “Drew like a dark, fucked up version of the hamburger helper mascot haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane Imao”. Attached to the post are two images. One is a drawing of the hamburger helper mascot (a gloved hand with a cartoon face), and the other is a cruder drawing of the same mascot, now with frowning eyes and pointy teeth.

  well, the original is this, i think its been a shitpost all along

  specifically, adult marshmallows. you may not know it, but to be edible marshmallows have to be eaten while they’re young and small.

  thank you for your posts, it’s always a great time to read them!

  i love that you share cool fan projects too! it’s inspiring me to make a physical collection for my GOG games, including actual DVDs with the games installers on them. most of the physical collection projects i see seem to only do the box, but i want to go all in!

  take care 🧡

  only Hypixel Studios, the dev studio behind Hytale that was bought by Riot, is shutting down

  the Hypixel server isn’t going anywhere (for now, at least)

  its also on phone keyboards, at least on iphone, you can hold the dash key and select the long dash: —

  same for the ellipsis, which a lot of people cite as a proof something was written with AI, but iphones (and other phones too, probably) insert them automatically when you type 3 dots…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks Alberta. Great Measles Outbreak you got there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  part of the reason is alberta seats entirely on treaty territory, so it doesn’t get to leave without a say from Indigenous peoples (at least in theory, in practice we know too well that canada wipes its ass with treaties)

  and the new alberta would’ve certainly been a strongly reactionary state, so it’s important to stand in solidarity with albertan leftists and oppose its creation

  same reasons most leftists oppose quebec independence

  “heteronormative” doesn’t mean “it’s the fault of straight people” are you serious

  and someone who makes good memes, they would certainly be an icon!

  we should give them a name that reflects that… LOLicon perhaps? an icon of the LOL!

  embarrassing confession

  for way too long i genuinely thought that’s what “lolicon” meant… ;-;

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got something special for you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no, I don’t think we need & more often than we need 1

  and for accents, the canadian french qwerty keyboard handles them just fine; é (by far the most common accented letter) has its own key, all the other use dedicated dead keys. it works well!

  and you can write accented uppercase letters using the CF qwerty, on azerty you need a combination with AltGr for that (because using just shift types the numbers…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got something special for you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh god what horror that layout is

  you need shift to type numbers???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've got something special for you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  could have happened on a french canadian qwerty keyboard: ! is shift-1, and " is shift-2

  depends on your time zone, it most of the world it comes out wednesday (aka, as i write this, tomorrow where i am, or even today if you live east of the atlantic!)

  (the switch 2 version comes out at 00:00 on thursday no matter the time zone tho)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hope i don't get downvoted for this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  personally, it’s kinda hard to say? i have felt romantic attraction exactly once in my life, so i know i’m not fully aromantic, but also it’s only happened once so i’m probably on the aro spectrum somewhere

  but yes, there are many people who are asexual but who still feel romantic attraction to others

  (and of course, not all attraction is sexual or romantic, there is also aesthetic attraction for example (literally just when you find people pretty), which i do feel, my meme was pretty reductive all things considered, but then again it’s just a meme)

  maybe it’s just that I hang around good parts of the internet now, but i saw that “no one:” format so much more back then

  i still see it sometimes now, but around 2018 it was everywhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I view others in social media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “no one: absolutely no one: not a single soul: character: punchline”

  going back to 2018-era youtube comment sections is painful

  you missed the Hopes Others Will Do The Same part.

  they’re pulling their game as part of the larger BDS boycott. the point is to put pressure on complicit companies (in this case microsoft) for them to stop working with israel
