I feel like today was a pretty good day, so here, these 4 pics are from random spots within my room, and sum up who I am pretty well. I've wanted to do this for a while, and give myself a pinned Tweet, so here, and "Hullo".

All similar noises!

Let me be real with you. Sony built their entire brand on one promise: **"We are for the players."** Remember 2013? Xbox One announced always-online DRM. Sony went on stage and said "here's how you share games on PS4" — held up a disc, passed it to someone. The crowd lost their minds. Sony became the good guys. The defenders of gaming. That wasn't a value. That was a strategy. And the moment they didn't need it anymore — they dropped it. --- Look at the timeline. → PS Plus became mandatory just to touch online play → Game prices jumped to $70. Then $80. → PS5 Pro launched at $700. Then $900 with the price hike. → And now — digital games you bought with your own money require Sony's permission every 30 days just to launch on your own console. No announcement. No warning. Just a firmware update in March 2026. They didn't change their values. They never had any. The values were always your wallet. Everything else was packaging. --- And here's what kills me. Sony literally mocked Microsoft for this exact concept. Built a decade of loyalty on that mockery. Sold hundreds of millions of consoles off the back of "we respect you." Then when the market was theirs — when you were locked in, subscribed, digitally invested — they became what they laughed at. That's not a company that slipped. That's a company that executed a plan. --- On PC, no company can pull this. Your games are files. They sit on your drive. No server validates them. No timer threatens them. No executive decision deletes them. You want to play offline for 6 months? Go ahead. Your internet dies for a week? Your library is fine. The company goes bankrupt tomorrow? You still own what you bought. That's not a feature. That's what ownership actually means. --- Sony doesn't have values. They have quarterly targets. If you're still defending them after the price hikes, the paywalls, and now this — you're not a loyal fan. You're an idiot boy. And they know exactly what to do with those.

@BatVibes This made me so upset as a kid haha

In the episode "Hocus Pokémon" Ash gets turned into a Pikachu by accident at the very end of the episode...??? They give him like 20 seconds of screentime and end it? AND they never revisit this idea ever again??? What a fumble

This is a Sonic Adventure appreciation post.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our display at this year's Great British Train Show! I had an absolute blast; I'm so proud of our team and how smoothly everything went together this time around. Looking forward to the next one!

Jack Black says Toy Story was an amazing trilogy until "they fucked up and made Toy Story 4" "Toy Story 3 was fantastic" (via youtube.com/watch?v=oBax-0…)

Pokémon are releasing a ¥35,200 ($220) Quagsire table in Japan It will be approximately 48.5×46×40cm in size

This will be my last time bringing this up, as I'm taking a break from social media for a short while. The folks harassing everyone are NOT fans - they're edgy grifters riding off of the discussion to be hateful and stir the pot. I will never dismiss genuine criticism. Be kind, listen, learn, and grow.

So. If you are in ANY emergency situation — let’s say you park in your driveway, & only as you begin taking your groceries from the car, you see movement in your home that is supposed to be empty. And a broken window. You cannot drive away to somewhere safer to get help. Your car refuses. You are at a traffic light. Suddenly someone is trying to get into your car (this has happened to me). You have a split second to accelerate & leave him in the dust. Your car shuts down power. The school calls. Your daughter has fainted. You cannot drive to the school to pick her up because your car notices your eyes are wide & you’re breathing fast. Your car now controls whether you live or die in an emergency situation. And those controls cannot be overridden.

Lupin III TV specials always start off with Lupin going “I heard about this rare gem and I’m gonna steal it” and somehow 20 minutes later shit like this is happening

A rather small delivery…

Can you feel the sunshine?

The Grimace Shake is back at McDonald’s... in Japan. I don’t understand a single word they’re saying in this commercial, but the song is so catchy. Also, might have to look for that collectable cup on eBay...
