If the grind is not enjoyable then stepping away from the game is genuinely one of the healthiest things one can do. For many people, improving at things is not a conscious effort. It is an incidental part of them engaging with the activity. If engaging isn't fun, maybe don't.

Look, I'm just saying that saying if Steam gives Valve a monopoly on PC games because they are mostly sold on Steam, then Windows gives Microsoft a way bigger monopoly on PC games because they are mostly run on Windows. And that's without even bringing Xbox into it.

I've been employed for so long that I'm getting my ass kicked by Mario Galaxy 1. This is terrifying.

Children, remember: Santa Claus often masquerades as a homeless guy to identify the nice and naughty kids based on how they treat him. So be nice to the homeless folk you see on the street. You never know when Santa is watching.

Nah, fuckit. 2025 WAS my year. My goal for 2026 is to be an absolute fucking slob. Total failure of a man. Melt into the couch and everything, I worked way too hard this year

Hot take: If you run Hydro Pump instead of Surf, you deserve to miss.

The conservative insistence that college is a scam and their general anti-intellectual bend might have something to do with it. Like, imagine being a doctor and being expected to vote for antivaxxers.

Shoutouts to the FBI agents who did us all a favor by highlighting all the juicy bits in black highlighter, so we know where to look.

0-2ers deserve a national holiday

Crazy how they can arrest Maduro in three hours but are “unable” to arrest any of Epstein’s clients after all these years.

Charlie Kirk under Biden vs under Trump

Can someone tell Nerissa Ravencroft🎼holoEN that she can remap the N64 controls on NSO to be less annoying? This is what I use and what I recommend. The redundant D-pad C-buttons is to make the Ocarina more comfortable to use

My fellow men (tm), I just want to make sure: You realize straight women actually LIKE men, right? Like, even in the song in question she keeps finding herself in such relationships despite these complaints because she can't help herself. Y'all are so insecure.

Because we're cool like that. Unlike China. Next question.

Am I tripping or is there no rocky helmet in Champions? It's literally advertized in the game's own menu. Where is it?

If you actually READ Nikke's dialogue and story instead of just jorkin it, you would see this is correct. The way Nikke are expected to remain obedient and subservient in the workplace has real world parallels. The fact the citizens fear Nikke without NIMPH is a big tell.

Hey, remember that time Matis had their NIMPH removed and the Ark had a bitch fit about it because the idea of Matis being able to make their own decisions and choices scared them shitless? Meanwhile there was a portion who are pro Nikke making choices? Pro-choice, if you will.
