this makes me feel uncomfortable

I feel an incredibly strong urge to get my guitar and play grunge

AO3 (Archive Of Our Own) is the biggest site I think, I'd link it but there's a lot of very sus stuff on there on account of the site's "everything that isn't explicitly illegal" approach to moderation.

I hate that I understood this the first time I read it.

a new and (good) F-Zero

F Zero 99 was really good, can't believe it didn't convert into another main game.

It is, but I wonder how many people (like me) uninstalled it and now can't reinstall it because it's still not available on the Play Store.

Used a hex screw to tighten all the loose bolts on my chair and it's suddenly a lot more comfortable

shit, I wish I'd known about this I would have totally bet on it.

throwback to this classic January tweet

Where were you when tiktok was kill?

Browsing XHS, playing Factorio, listening to old Hasan streams

Is liberty U still a thing? I would think that if I had a reputation like hers as soon as I wasn't getting paid to be online anymore I would go anonymous.

I wish I could hop into a time machine and visit the Democrat meeting where they decided that for 2020-2024 they were just going to completely unironically do all of Trump's policies. I'll bring a baseball bat with me of course.

I thought you were talking about the guy from The Great Escape

Okay here's an annoying situation. I ordered something from TikTok that arrived yesterday, but the wrong thing was in the box and now I want to do a refund/replacement and I can't because they won't let me onto the store page to do it.

Guess I gotta issue a chargeback. Those four USB C cables are fucking mine now.

Well I wasn't expecting TikTok to respond by blocking it on their end, but I guess it makes sense if their goal is to piss off their userbase enough to get the ban reversed.

Ah well, back to XHS

tfw you realize that "this massive continent only has one language" is a belief that directly results from imperialism wiping out the hundreds of other languages that used to be in North America.

Sometimes people will try to point to the Chinese adoption of Mandarin as an official lingua franca as some kind of equivalent form of colonialism, and it's just not.

god damn these gamergaters are really embarrassing. It's like bro you are in your forties you should not be getting this mad that every game isn't Dead or Alive Xtreme.

If they do Mario Paint 2 I will purchase day one stg

Drives me up the wall that they don't take this approach. There's an argument that, in American IP law at least, you have to "protect your copyright" or you might lose it, but that could very easily be overcome by introducing a license agreement that any fan creator can attach to their game that clearly states that Nintendo's IP belongs to Nintendo and that the fan work is purely the work of the fan and does not represent the opinions of blah blah you know the rest.

The way I see it this would be a "carrot" method of protecting their IP as opposed to their currently-preferred "stick" method. Encourage fan works! Celebrate them on your site! Maybe for the really good ones you can look at porting them to virtual console - we all know that virtual console is just an emulator running ROMs anyway, there's no reason you couldn't let anyone with a Nintendo Online subscription play Zelda with a randomizer or even something like Pokemon Crystal Clear (anything that doesn't have non-Nintendo IP in it, basically).
