@andybaio "pretty hard to do" is a wild understatement here

@jplebreton my needs for summarization are entirely satisfied by the existence of wikipedia

@jackdaw_ruiz @raphaelmorgan IME corporate landlords are a consistent middle-of-the-road experience – they'll fuck you over to the maximum extent the law permits and no further – but when your landlord is just Some Guy then it ranges from "totally chill, responsive to fixes, lets you keep the same rent for 20 years" to "installs secret cameras to spy on you" and there's no way to be sure which one you're getting.

@typeswitch I think the reason the higher-ups aren't coming for her is that the whole institution has been hollowed-out by the haunting. The citadel is an empty mockery of itself and doesn't actually have the power it used to have.

@jplebreton that’s where I first heard about it but I kept scrolling a coworker linked more details though and “new prime minister elected in discord poll” is echoing around in my brain

@datn it’s wild how little it’s showing up on my timeline tbh like I get that america is having a moment rn but “annoying man assassinated over a meme” is so many orders of magnitude smaller of a deal than “entire government overthrown over a meme”

“condemning political violence” is wild to me. it’s like condemning “bleeding from a stab wound” – sure yeah I agree it’s bad and we don’t want it to continue but maybe there as some other questions to be asking about the sitaution.

yall hear about this nepal stuff

@c9a I’ve gotten three in a row recently, all for doing some of the most Bullshit stuff possible

@jplebreton yeah absolutely

@jplebreton@mastodon.socialI I think it’s ultimately the people who wanted black twitter (and now, blacksky) dynamics, which are a very specific thing that definitely has a lot of dunking but in a way that’s very different than the obnoxious dunking in my spheres. really feels like a “competing access needs” situation

silksong handing out mask fragments like a landlord hands out tips: sparingly and only when it thinks you’ve really earned

@garbados been thinking about the culture's obsession with Language lately. in this context and also in the "seeking the truth through statistical modeling of text" fad. they feel related

@jovialthunder lmao this article didn’t used to have “(ant)” after the title

@typeswitch top tier bossfight imo

@typeswitch the ones who proactively offer to be the omelas kid even though nobody is asking them to

My actual thing is that nobody else does sword-and-sorcery fantasy like Hollow Knight. While everybody else is making either "cool guy spooky epic dark fantasy" or "what if D&D was Shrek" these guys are making "Conan the Barbarian but its all bugs" and it's such a breath of fresh air

"what makes Silksong any better than [my favorite metroidvania]" that game doesn't have a little guy who makes a funny noise. any more stupid questions

silksong is…. very good
