The issue here is _corporate social media_. That's Twitter, Threads, Instagram, Facebook, and tentatively also likely Bluesky
Every time bad things happen in the world and politics, some ultra-privilege enjoying nard-head says something like "You can't post your way out of this" and "you gotta get up and go out and do stuff!" Then they're sharply reminded that disabled people exist and they poop them…

the ONE thing I actually like about Bluesky is I can build a list called "assholes that suck and post bad" and then use it specifically as a recorded personal blocklist

so a bunch of Star Wars games are really really cheap on Steam right now Battlefront 2 works in its entirety on proton/linux, including multiplayer Squadrons, on the otherhand, works in singleplayer, but as soon as you launch multiplayer it boots you to your desktop (proton/li…
two minutes later realizing i'm not supposed to stand in line waiting to be checked by the empire guard
they have Shadows of the Empire on Steam ...
I haven't played that game since I was a child
at least I can screenshot my Sims 1 game without it crashing now lol
I can't quite figure out why Sims 1 Legacy is lagging on my machine, but it's annoying
I like how SWTOR is one of the only currently active BioWare properties that maintains the BioWare magic of the 2010s
I order some food with one adult beverage on it and then watch the doordash app of 4 different delivery drivers pulling up to the place and then dropping th order when they find out it contains a beverage
