ICYMI I wrote about my small adventure with discovering just what Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement is, highlighting its differences compared to the previous game, for a @damagecontrolblog post. dcgameblog.com/2025/06/were-du

Rich people are assholes and science proves it. This great article from Rolling Stone is a great piece about the mind and motivations of the (very) rich and privileged. It includes a quote from @timnitGebru .

Also this quote from an anonymous source close to the broligarchs: “I do think that the most radical idea is a radical unplugging, the radical removal of ourselves from all of their platforms. There would be a manifesto: These things, you cannot do.”

Alright, trying to star a trend here that's been hella fun on Bluesky... It's time for Fedi's first #WeebWendesday!

Here's the drill: quote-post or reply with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, and just have fun with it! Maybe pop on the hashtag #WeebWednesday to make them easy to find too.

Come on! A grill needs to enjoy some hot takes! 🔥

@nova Oh my god

I was about to turn off my computer for the night, but then I saw these photos and was absolutely SIEZED by the need to doodle your cat

Very quick, painterly doodle in monochromatic blue of a fluffy cat looking up with HUGE eyes.

All right, last time on Skies of Arcadia Legends we were in a realm that is legally distinct from Japan and we had just done the Water Temple. There's probably some shit that's gonna go down next.

ICYMI I wrote about the roster for Street Fighter 6's third season, and why they're a solid crop of picks despite the choices being more predictable compared to the last season, for a @damagecontrolblog post. dcgameblog.com/2025/06/lets-ta

Let’s Talk About Street Fighter 6’s Next Season
It’s a predictable lineup, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

i like that the ending of "Altered Beast" implies that the player characters were just wearing fursuits the entire time

Image from the ending of "Altered Beast", showing a man standing next to a woman on what appears to be a movie set. The woman is wearing a white dress, and the man is wearing an anthropomorphic wolf costume.

ICYMI I reviewed Metaphor: ReFantazio for @damagecontrolblog. I had a good time with this political thriller of an RPG that asks us to believe in the power of fiction, and creating a better world.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

FOX: Want to go for a run? RABBIT: Sure! | FOX: Great! LET’S GO! | RABBIT: Oh goodness, not now… | RABBIT: For me, it’s more of a long-term goal.
