Had some free time, today. Unexpectedly, I guess what my brain wanted was a few hours playing Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth on my 3DS?

I haven't been all that excited for anything Marvel in the theater since Endgame, but I am kind of hyped for The Marvels?

Which is funny because it seems to have some of the saltiest dudebro comments on tiktok. And apparently they hate that there might be a bollywood-style dance number? I think these buds just hate fun

Beyond Ms. Marvel as one of my fave recent comic series, I still think they should make a movie adaptation of how Squirrel Girl saved Earth from Galactus through the power of friendship and snacks

@lordbowlich I'd guess dudes who think a single grain of black pepper is spicy

@Wolven :blobyes:​ can confirm, EXTREMELY HYPE

Heard some folks on a tech podcast say something like "twitter's a trashfire, but nobody's on mastodon"

Meanwhile: haha federated timeline go brrrrr

Like, follow a few folks my dudes

I know this system doesn't force-feed suggestions to drive eyeball engagement, but that just means you might need to learn to play around a bit in exchange for not being fattened for foie gras

@thegibson I'm very tempted by a Steam Deck. I've got a self-built gaming PC at the couch and been thinking maybe the next GPU upgrade isn't a GPU and is a Deck instead

@zachklipp Don't quite remember now, but I know I've heard this from The Verge and at least 2 or 3 others that I listen to on the regular

@skickar oof, the hair on the back of my neck stood up just thinking about smelling that smoke

@VictimOfSimony Yeah, IMO frankly it's kinda criminal that some (many?) gov't services use Twitter (or Facebook) as a primary channel.

@JoYo @jason @lori @thegibson 🤔 Hmm, it might be interesting to move that gaming PC into the basement and stream to the couch. Not like I'm playing super-twitchy e-sports all the time

Hmm, I do also have a couple Steam Links and Steam Controllers, I should tinker with them again someday

@nuintari Sounds like he's living his best life

@lori @thegibson @JoYo @jason Yeah, I occasionally get all enthused about upgrading my PC and thinking I'll play the new AAA games and then spend the next 6 months playing random stuff from 2014 on my 3DS

@zachklipp Yeah, I don't think a lot of folks understand the "rules" are just, like, the folks you're talking to asking to please maybe turn down the volume on an annoying, well-trod subject.

Also sometimes the moderators of a server may just decide you're annoying and boot you because, well, they can do that for any reason.
