I'm leaving this site soon due to the upcoming machine-learning terms-of-service changes. cnn.com/2024/10/21/tec… Please join me on other websites. 🦋: dragonadamant.bsky.social 🧵: @dragonadamant And I still stand by this, especially now. x.com/dragonadamant/…

@Nintendeal I think it's reasonable. I would have absolutely preferred to have Pokopia full on cart if such a thing existed (bizarrely but pleasantly enough, I think Switch 2 is the only platform where that applies for Indiana Jones).

Didn't realize this post was going to be so polarizing. I support playing games in whatever format works best for you. I was excited to offer this feature for those looking for this sort of solution and maybe went too far with the "own the games you buy" part. Sorry about that.

@cordiallycourt Wishing you all so many good things! I still think happily about prom, and I'm especially happy that, unlike a few years ago when some of my friends couldn't do this for their kids because of Covid, y'all get to celebrate.

My mom was sure that teens just go to prom to have sex afterwards. I am eager to hear from my darling, extremely sensible girl what it's really like. She's going with friends and she'll be beautiful and nothing but wonderful tonight.

Railing against prom and prom-goers was a favorite hobby-horse of my mom's during all my years growing up as a homeschooled highly sheltered kid. Which is fun bc my oldest (a lil baby freshman) is going to prom tonight 🩷 Life is odd!

@LauraRbnsn It's disturbing, but I think it's fairly reasonable, and the poster for that "Unplanned" movie disturbed me way more than this does.

Look I'm generally pretty sharp about protecting kids but if it's not gory and just spooky you gotta go for it. Some little kid is gonna be terrified and fascinated by this poster and that is how new horror fans are made.

@Hawkagesama @videogamedeals I was thinking that too, it seems to vary wildly by artist and I personally find that version unappealing.

@videogamedeals I don't remember Morrigan being that stacked. Those things are bigger than her head.

@SkyloftSword I'm happy for it. I enjoyed this significantly more than the previous one.

Deserved. It has it's flaws but I love it so much. Most fun I had with a movie.

@LauraRbnsn My many churches generally allowed both, but some did emphasize "Resurrection."

Did anyone else's churches go through a stupid phase when you were a kid where they made you say "Resurrection" because the word Easter was pagan or some shit like that?

@hecatoncheires @LauraRbnsn That's why I thought I was misreading his post—most of the messaging I'd heard growing up was, "You have to support Israel because that's what the Bible tells us to do," and I'd figured a lot of the regressives would still have been in lockstep on that

@LauraRbnsn The right is having their own civil war over Israel and I'm here for it.

Guys, we hosted an event for disaffected loser children and you’re never going to believe this. They ALL blame their problems on other people. This is the start of something huge. No one has ever bitched as much as us in history.

@LauraRbnsn I'd forgotten the details but I thought I'd vaguely seen something like that. I know something caught my eye.

On the long list of "I think if you saw Sinners last spring you remember it as more wholesome and morally clear than it is" -- I swear I am the only person who remembers Mary spitting directly into Stack's mouth during sex and I'm in some kind of Sinners Mandela effect universe.

@LauraRbnsn Remember when he lost in 2020 (which I've seen too many people still not willingly admit) and people were posting GIFs of Death Star II blowing up?

I’m not proud of everything I’ve done in my life but I do feel pretty sure that, when I die, there won’t be montages of spontaneous parades, the use of noisemakers, and public dancing on the news.

@Touyarokii I never understood how we went from FRLG's addition of the Sevii Islands, to HGSS's addition of the Pokéathlon, to ORAS' addition of flying, an expanded epilogue, and lots of other stuff, to BDSP basically not adding much new that I can remember, and omitting things that Pt had

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

@Touyarokii I have both but don't use the air fryer as much anymore as I used to, and it takes up a huge amount of space on my small kitchen counter. Pokopia has been excellent so far, and I'd recommend the Mario Kart World bundle if you can still find one - that game is fun as well.

Should I buy a switch 2 or an air fryer

@Nintendeal The best remaster I've ever played. I'm still hoping for at least 2 to get the same treatment, because 1 Remastered was incredible.

in retrospect, pricing Metroid Prime Remastered at $39.99 was a baller move and major W by Nintendo

@LauraRbnsn Oooooh! Found a present for Dad

Hi! I’m in a new book from Bloomsbury! And it’s very predictable!

@LauraRbnsn One of my humanities teachers back in college (still friends) brought that up, in the context of environmental feminism ("Mother Earth")—and, therefore, environmental misogyny, especially in the context of 'getting the earth to submit to us' rather than the other way around.

predators isn't "right" anymore, it's "womanish," and "overly sensitive." Indiscriminately starving children isn't "wrong," it's "bold" and "awe inspiring." This is how it's fairly easy to get a whole church full of people to answer the world's most basic moral questions wrong

So, when it comes to evangelicalism in the United States, which tends to be a unifying religious idea in the US, there's been a real push in the last 10 years or so to replace the idea of "right and wrong" with "masculine and feminine." Have you ever heard the phrase "toxic

@LauraRbnsn Reminds me precisely of how I felt in the wake of the 2016 'victory,' where I heard several people similarly bragging about using racial slurs with impunity.

One day I want this man identified and put in stocks and he just has to answer all our questions for a week

@BasedPastorTrav @POTUS 1) Why does a secular building of a secular government have a faith office, 2) Were it a Muslim administration holding an Islamic prayer service, would you still praise it as "worship at the White House," 3) This rings hollow while so much violence and exploitation is happening

Worship at the White House. May we never take this for granted. Thank you @POTUS Thank you White House Faith Office.

@Gabby_BigLove @JoeMerrick @IGN Thanks for this, that also answered a question I had about the Let's Go games ("yes," apparently).

@JoeMerrick @IGN Pokemon literally included them in the merch for the 30th for main line games

With Pokémon Pokopia out now, here's a look back at the 10 best Pokémon spin-off games, from Pokémon Go to Arceus: bit.ly/47z54Uz

@LauraRbnsn @SecretFire79 Good point - if this is real, we should be sharing and discussing a press release or reliable documentation.

@SecretFire79 What is the name of the church? Where is the announcement? When I google this this is the only source that comes up. Let's not spread misinformation.

BAPTIST IDOLATRY The largest Baptist church in Alabama has announced plans to build a 120-foot statue of President Trump on its campus as a "token of appreciation for what God has done for the United States under his leadership." Church leaders say the monument will overlook the campus in a pose that some observers noted bears a striking resemblance to the famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. When asked about the similarity, one of the church board members clarified the difference: "That statue in Brazil is an idol, this is simply a respectful tribute to the greatest leader in all of world history, who just happens to have been divinely chosen." Plans reportedly include a viewing platform at the base of the statue, a gift shop selling commemorative hats and devotional coffee mugs, and nightly lighting so the statue can be seen from several counties away. The lead pastor emphasized that the project is not meant to replace worship to God but rather to "encourage gratitude towards God, and of course patriotism, and the occasional selfie." Construction is expected to begin once enough donations are collected, which organizers say should happen quickly since "patriotic generosity is practically a spiritual gift around here." Church leaders added that anyone comparing the monument to a golden calf is "missing the point entirely," noting that the statue will be made of reinforced concrete, not gold.

@CatWorkers Came here to comment, "But the cats *are* an ideal desk environment," but that desk setup looks legit amazing.

"I thought I'd finally set up my ideal desk environment, only for it to turn into a cat festival venue in seconds."

@PrintsandtheRev @shelbystardust This one stung.

HAPPY SATURDAY to everyone who is sick of hearing about bombings and child rǎpê with no end in fucking sight ✌️
