this sucks man

@GumBunz @rebecca_doodles You would have been fine. Put it back in.

@rebecca_doodles Mine almost exploded and had to be removed because otherwise I would've died

Imagine if your sister was dating Dracula and your mom was saying stuff like “what do you think of Dracula. I thought he was a little standoffish at dinner the other night”

@aslak_randers @_TrapRat @NoNonsenseND @buttonslives Nah youre not good at communicating. The other person is right.

@_TrapRat @NoNonsenseND @buttonslives There was no misusage, you're not welcome to correct me as nothing I said was incorrect. Correcting others, especially incorrectly, is rude, and now just experiencing the natural consequences of being rude to me.

I thought I was autistic. I was wrong. I was 30 in 2019 when stories of women discovering they were autistic all along began appearing everywhere. They popularized a newer understanding of autism, with its own “female presentation.” It was framed as a scientific correction to a historical wrong against women, the kind of narrative the press finds irresistible. Like so many women, I felt immense relief when I was formally diagnosed. It offered an explanation for the mental health crises of my youth and the daily realities of my adult life. Then I spent a year in the online autism community. What I saw there, especially the way activists treated parents of severely impaired children, turned me into a critic of neurodiversity. But it was becoming a journalist in 2022, after discovering detransitioners’ stories, that forced me to question narratives about identity and diagnosis, including my own. Journalism also required the social skills autism says I should have lacked. From there, the rest unraveled: many traits I had come to associate with autism are not uncommon in the general population, but through the “female autism” framework, they looked like a meaningful pattern. I don’t think my story is unique. The same incentives that kept my diagnosis intact may also help explain why so many women are entering the autism category in adulthood.

@afrocosmist You'd probably like Ergo Proxy. Post climate collapse domed cities, robots inexplicably praying to god, talking statues of philosophers, it's great.

you know better than i do that anime is not a genre but a medium. my bad i dont wanna watch shonen, a genre for little boys, as a grown-ass man

@Bol95846 Yeah and the association very likely is "this is a thing that would be disruptive to do right now." You fundamentally do not understand what a tic is and you're making definitive critical judgements on their sources. Please be more charitable.

@Feldfrog @skyler_higley @VizorIts Which is my point, a person’s brain is making that association

Man idk if this is ableist or whatever but if your Tourette’s makes you say the n-word I think you should just not go to a ceremony

@Doublelen @RadishHarmers @Feldfrog Shit you're right. My liege lord would part my head from my neck would I attempt such a jape.

@RadishHarmers @Feldfrog the transgression in this joke is rudeness

I think a joke can have a positive message. I think a joke can also be purely silly and not carry any moral lesson.

@CallMeTasteless @TheOmniLiberal This is fucking pathetic.

@TheOmniLiberal check DM <3

@jimothaniel @htGOIW Miyazaki has a similar tilt and doesn't refer to himself as a marxist because he doesn't think people are capable of it, not because he has some alternative belief he thinks is better now.

@htGOIW Hating "the left" is honestly the most leftist thing one can do. Like, from what I gather, Oshii doesn't identify as a leftist anymore, but let's be fr someone complaining about tendencies among the left isn't exactly a sure sign that they've embraced reactionary politics

Not only Oshii but many of former New Left creators in Japan don't like the current identity politcs so much. YAS is one of those examples. People tend to think the "left" is one solid communtiy, but they have a wide spectrum.

@TierZoo @chhopsky This is incredibly insightful. Real keep your eye on the ball shit.

@chhopsky Yes it is. I'd argue it's one of the core reasons the battle royale genre became so successful, even. You're winning until you lose, at which point you immediately just start over in another match.

People clown on this, but I do think control decks violate one of the most important core game design principles: A game should end when someone has won.

@Tcho76521726 @TierZoo @chhopsky You can have a great game and violate something you think of as a design principle. I think you're viewing a "flaw" in a game as a grave sin instead of an (almost?) unavoidable occurrence/trade-off.

@TierZoo @chhopsky Right but like, that doesn't make it a design principle. Lots of great games (basically every symmetric perfect information deterministic game, for instance) has endgames where one player is strongly advantaged, in Go it's even considered rude to not resign in lost positions

@twinkdefcon He just wants the best for his people. There's a cute part in a program where he's teaching kids how to animate and he finds a kid into tokusatsu and talks to him for awhile and tells the camera they have the otaku connection.

@arnzzz_ @wykrhm Heaven forbid the games are extremely interesting and we have a reason to watch professional players use new tech. Dota pros make money because we watch them. People watch new patches. Youre complaining about a good thing happening.

@wykrhm Why is the patch always released a day before playoffs all the time? Now teams will have to scramble reading, prepping, and learn new strats.

7.40 brings some major hero reworks, new neutral items, terrain changes, Captain's Mode changes and many more. What are your favorites so far? #Dota2

@BenjiGameDev That is really smart. The real appeal of day/night outside the novelty is just choosing lighting you like. Picking up on that and putting it in that simply is like the definition of a good dev, great idea!

for now I've decided against the classic "super fast realtime day/night cycle". Instead you can set the time of day and it just stays like that until you change it. so if you want, you can explore the islands with permanent sunset vibes

@xIngenue Passing on good stuff for the things you like is basically Challenge Mode: Fun

@vella_vision @Variety No, he supports Palestine over the genocide and Quentin loves israel more than he loves making sense.

@Variety Did Dano sleep with Tarantino’s sister or something?

Quentin Tarantino slams Paul Dano as "the weakest f*cking actor in SAG" and says "There Will Be Blood" could've been the best film of the 21st century “if it didn’t have a big, giant flaw in it… and the flaw is Paul Dano.” “Obviously, it’s supposed to be a two-hander. But it’s also drastically obvious that it’s not a two-hander. [Dano] is weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister. [Daniel Day-Lewis] is eating him [alive]. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. Daniel Day-Lewis shows that he doesn’t need a strong foil. The movie needs it. He doesn’t need anything. It’s supposed to be a two-hander and it’s not! … you put him with the the weakest f*cking actor in SAG? The limpest dick in the world?... I am not saying he is giving a terrible performance, I am saying he’s giving a non-entity performance… I don’t care for him.” (via "The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast") Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news…

@Sac_Burner @MiltonFriedmanW What on earth are you talking about? He's rallying against private business and championing the public sector while criticizing free market capitalism. This is explicitly the opposite of right wing thought with zero wiggle room.

@MiltonFriedmanW ok uhhh this is a right wing argument though, and he's kinda correct to an extent

Left-wing activist throws pie in Milton Friedman’s face

@joeydanna @RandoCrypto7 @WindowsLatest Do this for yourself and everyone you care about: reddit.com/r/sysadmin/com…

@RandoCrypto7 @WindowsLatest having to click “more options” on everything to get to the menu from windows 7/8 where what you want actually still lives…

Microsoft admits File Explorer is slow in Windows 11, and it’s going to preload it in the background to help improve launch performance. “This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it,” Microsoft confirmed. If you don’t want Windows 11 to preload File Explorer, you can uncheck the option called “Enable window preloading for faster launch times” in File Explorer’s Folder Options under View. File Explorer is still snappy on Windows 10, but the modernized Windows 11 version also brought slower performance. This change is rolling out to Windows Insiders.

You can say "Plans" as "Plams" to spice up your diction.

@BenjiGameDev I know you didn't intend to be rude, but this was a silly thing to say. I told you that advice was personally bad for me, and your response was point out I don't use my Twitter profile as a resume? Genuinely why act like this?

@ProudDota your profile doesn't link to your Steam page or your Itchio!
