  Fucking hell can we not ruin relations with Japan before I get the chance to study abroad there? I have to wait until next spring at earliest chance, but I wanted to wait until later to go there… 😩

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great submission to "rate my professor"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I certainly do, and this shit doesn’t even look close to the ratemyprofessor website of today. I was about to do my review this week or next since semester is ending.

  Okay it was bad enough that people were just straight up dipping their hands into the pile, but that one lady who just straight up took a whole second plate and scooped them up was fucking insane 💀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord Begins Testing Facial Scans for Age Verification⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  God, I don’t wanna look like a crazy tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist to my friends, but I hope one day they magically get concerned or ask me for privacy respecting alternative services. I haven’t really had the chance to actually test how good Revolt, Matrix, and SimpleX are, but all of them would be worth trying a million times more than Discord.

  I wish we would use Signal instead. But unfortunately I have to resign myself to using Discord and GroupMe for school and friends. At least they don’t hate me for not using Insta, although some randos do seem to be annoyed by my reluctance to use it on first meet.

  It’s just so hard trying not to isolate myself from friends. I get that the alternatives aren’t always great (might lack video calls, easy bot management, sever costs, shitty UX and onboarding, etc.) but we gotta at least give them a try…

  Katamari’s 5am Mourning Routine in my ass

  Really hope the little prince isn’t rolling my shit into a ball…

  In literal tears and confusion as I watched this and then I said “holy shit” out loud, only to delve deeper into my 3am fueled headache delirium of laughter 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, I’m a young gen, so maybe that explains it but… I played the virtual console Yellow and got so damn bored…

  It’s hard picking a favorite gen, as 4 was my first (Platinum my beloved) but I liked 5 despite not being able to beat it, but the features they introduced after gen I are all very good. Physical Special split is good imo, makes more strategy to a relatively basic game (when you don’t play against real people), abilities are great, newer types and type combos are nice additions, and a major one it the aesthetic.

  Gen I characters and region are just so bland, the lack of themes, no extra minigame stuff… And I get it was the first gen so I can’t fault them for that. But the characters in the modern games are fantastic even if they’re weak, the music only gets better and better (each gen feels like it has a genre now), they include neat side stuff like the Poke Olympics, performance contests, berries & snacks, a ton of other stuff throughout the games. Like yeah, the newer games fall hard on the battle/difficulty aspect, and GameFreak’s inability to make a good looking game is astonishing. But they do put some heart in the little things in the new games, that just made grinding all day long in OG Yellow feel like a chore…

  And even those there’s a lot, more Pokemon just makes that initial hour or so of a new game feel so special, like you’re discovering it all over again.

  Ugh. Thank you, I was just about to say it myself. There’s been politics in games for forever. Even the simplest shit like, “environmental destruction bad, so Sonic fight Eggman”

  People are just too dumb to realize that they were kids back then…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rhythm Heaven Groove – Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro how is this the way I find out there’s a Switch Direct, and that there’s a new Rhythm Heaven, AND a new Tomodachi Life??? Next year is gonna be so fucking peak holy shit 😭🥹😩

  Wow, hide yo wife guy in 2025…

  I remember being like, idk a elementary school kid when my mom would laugh and show me the remixes. I’m in college now.

  Sorry if I aged anybody right there…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember the good old days?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never did and I hate the app, this is just the shit I see from Youtubers who cover awful/interesting trends on Tiktok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember the good old days?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I get so fucking mad at the tradwife Tiktok people, who go “Oh feminists are forcing you to go to work, I miss the good old days!”

  Like no you fucking don’t, in the “good old days” since the industrial revolution anyone who wasn’t rich had to work their ass off in shit conditions, including women and children. These people never read The Jungle (that shit was horrifying in middle school, and I only read an excerpt), or saw the pictures of coal kids, or the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire back in 1911 that killed 100+ women and girls.

  You get to pose for the camera with a full face of makeup and hold your soccer team of kids because your husband is rich and thinks you’re hot. Full stop.

  I’m young and even this has me gagging. Our Switch games definitely don’t look like that, although I do feel box art and blurbs on the back used to entice me more, but maybe that’s just because I’m not a kid anymore. But yeah this is fucking horrendous to look at 🤢

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US freezes almost all aid except for Israel, Egypt arms: memo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So to all those people who didn’t vote or picked Trump because “The Democrats are supporting the genocide of Israel” where are you now? I wish these idiots could’ve put their big pants on and just voted, because how did they think that having Trump in would solve all of the Palestinian conflict???

  Now shit that’s keeping people alive is being denied in favor of funding the exact thing you didn’t want.
