I'll play anything but my favourite types of games are the ones where you get lost in a big, weird, unknowable world and just have to find your way around it.
Myst/Riven, Disco Elysium, Pathologic... Not a lot unites them aside from this feeling.
Got any more? I'm starving
@RoxyTall
It’s so funny how he keeps adding tweets about how “PEOPLE KEEP PRETENDING ITS ATTRACTIVE BUT ITS NOT” and then he gets 100 more replies straight up thirsting after this girl. Because… it’s attractive. What about any of this situation makes him think it isn’t?
@CPBritain
A really disappointing statement, comrades. Poorly written, surface-level understanding, regressive and conservative reactionist rhetoric. In contrast to CPIreland this is badly thought out. The capitalist class looks to divide us with transphobia and prejudice.
Aside from the obvious here, The Simpsons really fucked it when they stopped doing knowing parodies of franchises/books/films/brands/celebrities and started just giving them cameo spots instead. Joyless.
The Ascento robot can move anywhere a human can, even over uneven terrain and obstacles. The robot's capabilities can be used for security services using 360-degree and thermal security cameras

People getting very angry that I stole this joke apparently, was just making one of my shit daily Dune jokes for like three followers, didn't expect it to do these numbers!
It's a pretty obvious pun, I'm sure plenty of people have thought of it. Odd hill to die on. ✌
Young people aren’t “ghosting” on their jobs, they’re finally giving employers the same amount of notice the employees get when they’re let go. Maybe now that’ll realise what an issue that really is.
Story time because I just today realised it’s my story to tell and i can if I want to.
When I was a kid my biodad kicked us out one evening. Outta bed. No bags. Just get out. He sold all our toys (I was a Star Wars figure/Pokémon card collector) a few years later.

The photo on the left is what you get if your child has free school meals. We’ve all seen this photo, right? Decided it’s not worth £30 and been insulted?
It gets worse. Bear in mind this is the same parent company that can provide this on the right for private school pupils.

Call me a bloody great communist woke leftie but I don't understand why companies can't just do the same thing really well for years on end, become trusted, make a comfortable profit, and share it between the workers for their effort in creating it in the first place idk
@CPBritain
I've muted this because obviously, my replies will just be TERFs trying to brag and boast. I literally don't care what y'all have to say, so shout into the void if you must but why reply to me specifically lmao.
R*cky Gerv*is: *Says something that was slightly controversial to Boomers maybe 30 years ago*
ARE YOU OFFENDED? ARE YOU OFFENDED? DID I MAKE YOU CRY? AM I TOO EDGY FOR YOU? IS THAT WHY YOU DONT LIKE ME? BECAUSE I OFFEND YOU?
Mate, I'm not offended, I'm BORED.
@UKLabour
These are going to be shown around in years to come as examples of how absolutely fucking out of touch the Labour Party was back in 2023. Humiliating.
@CallmeDaioc
@RoxyTall
There are huge amounts of men saying “would” in both replies and quote tweets. Also girls are not automatically straight and so count towards “people who are attracted to her”.

"Pranksters have mown a giant penis into a famous 'perfect lawn' on one of Britain's most exclusive streets - just days before a Coronation party there. Residents of the posh Royal Crescent in Bath were stunned to see the large phallus on the grass outside their homes today."
There was a lot of (worse) stuff that went on that I’m not gonna talk about but that one detail has haunted me my whole life. As a kid, maybe 7 or 8 years old, losing everything like that really does some irreversible shit to your brain.
Years later I’ll see a Greedo figurine and just burst into tears, shit is WACK. I daren’t buy even one Pokémon card or nostalgic thing because I fear the floodgates would open and I don’t know if that’s healthy. I think I just have to move on. But the fascination remains.
Games industry folk always seem to all know eachother and I’m this little floating island that occasionally makes an online friend but doesn’t live in London or Bath and can’t actually socialise. It’s a bit shit and I’m not sure how you rectify that sorta thing.
Getting a lot of people mentioning these and I do agree but have already played:
Sunless Sea
Outer Wilds
All Cyan games
Eastshade
Deus Ex
LIMBO
Little Nightmares
Hypnospace Outlaw
The Stanley Parable
The Forgotten City
Primordia
Sanitarium
Elden Ring
Heaven's Vault
I should add that I did have plenty of toys bought for me after that happened, but I get really upset if I can’t remember something from back then, and the desire to ��get it back” has me still dreaming about those things to this day. It’s not even about the items tbh.
Also - if you support Corbyn, the left, socialism, etc, and want a reliable way to stay informed on such topics,
@VersoBooks
have a book club that sends you a MASSIVE amount of ebooks (and physical books) every month and it’s really affordable :)
@PUBGMOBILE
Yo this is clearly a rip off of Hypnospace Outlaw. Same colours and even name? It’s not okay to steal from indie games. (P.s. go play HSO it’s VERY FUCKING GOOD)
The idea, as a Christian, that God would treat a king in the 21st century - a grotesque caricature of the kings of old, a gout-ridden, selfish, spoiled, deeply evil and covetous cunt, waving at his starving people from a gold-encrusted carriage - with any preference is wild.
Here’s another comparison. The photo on the left is what one child is getting in the UK. “£30”. They’ve literally quartered the veg and opened a can of tuna to halve it.
On the right is what children in the same situation in Finland are receiving.
There is no help in place for life-limited vulnerable children in this pandemic, just another section of society overlooked by the government after years of cuts. Parents of children with respiratory illnesses are not eligible for vaccine priority unless they are paid carers.
If we’re friends and I’ve ever said or done anything weird or not right, rest assured I have been thinking about it every night for my entire life since
You want us to have humanity toward billionaires? The guys that literally destroy the planet we live on, steal our labour, and exploit whole nations so they can afford to nail themselves in a death tube and shoot it at the bottom of the sea? Those billionaires?
