"The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down."

this lake sponsored by the last "universal jobs guarantee".

no really: they had nothing better for these people to do, so they made them dig out this lake with shovels.

I mean, it's neat I suppose, but that's what you'll be doing under the "universal jobs guarantee."

it's basically work that has no purpose, like this lake has no purpose other than to sit there and look nice.

instead, we could pay people to improve themselves and their skills through universal basic income.

so, no, a universal jobs guarantee is not what I'm looking for.

Dracula was the original load-bearing boss

[As we looked there came a terrible convulsion of the earth so that we seemed to rock to and fro and fell to our knees. At the same moment with a roar which seemed to shake the very heavens the whole castle and the rock and even the hill on which it stood seemed to rise into the air and scatter in fragments while a mighty cloud of black and yellow smoke volume on volume in rolling grandeur was shot upwards with inconceivable rapidity.]

Watching people play Bomberman on the Switch really makes me want to play Atomic Bomberman, which (once you mute the awful voice samples) is the best Bomberman game

Doesn't seem to be a way to get it to work on modern machines though :blobsad: Maybe I'll try a virtual machine thingy...

Had a dream that Diablo II is an MMO and that I made a mod that revamps the fast travel system to require all players to travel through a new central hub area, to encourage cooperation and trading with each other instead of relying on the vendors (visual aid: before and after)

The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.

Or makes it harder to make sure anyone who wants to can see the context, anyway. I thought "just a normal post but part of the thread" was a good alternative to the "quote retweet."

So if I boost a post and then post a reply to it without @-ing anyone, it'll only show up if (a) you're looking at the thread, or (b) you're following both me and that account? It doesn't appear in either public timeline, or for people who are just following me? That's kind of a bummer

I was under the impression that it's just like a normal post except threaded, was it always like this? Or did that change? It makes it a bit harder to boost and then comment.
