The left has no issue with having cock 'n balls…

The PS5, the only console with -1 games

You can inquire about jobs at local flower shops if you want

Comparing every male video game character to Marcus Fenix would really rile up anybody who remembers the cliffyB drama.

Me, the one true leftist

ngl there is a shocking resemblance

I did it. I shaved my head. No more hair. Bald. Baldy baldy bald boy. That’s what they’re calling me. In the streets.

I promise I wasn’t trying to call you out or anything. I know what you’re feeling. Hell, I’m in a committed relationship and the self-doubt still rears it’s ugly head sometimes. I just wanted to post some of my own ramblings and talk about, I guess what I would call, a key western male issue.

Good luck my friend, I’m sure you’ll find someone soon

I think it’s important for men to understand that desirability is a fully internal feeling. The only person who can make you feel desirable is yourself, no amount of sexual partners will change how you feel. At the same time, of course, society does pit men against each other on the basis of how many different women they can have sex with. But that is still a comparison between men, women’s actual attraction does not ever play a role. They are simply being used as a metric of desirability.

In the real world people are attracted to so many things, there’s no need to sweat it. Try to do things for yourself that make you feel good. Buy some good clothes, work out, etc. Don’t do these things for women, do them for you. You are the only person you need to worry about finding you attractive.

I’m working on a theory, that the rise of livestreaming and the erosion of rights, or at least sympathy, for the disabled are connected. You can decide what kind of -posting this is, but the disabled have historically been shunned to venues of less-than-repute entertainment to make a living. Carnival workers, ‘freak show’ members, etc. And live streaming is just the next venue to pop off. As more disabled people, who are unable to work a regular job, give streaming a chance (www.twitch.tv/myelint tomorrow at 1 p.m. est) the expectation that the disabled will be able to make a good amount of money just playing video games is reinforced in society and the idea that we may need assistance, especially financial, becomes less accepted.

But even for the successful, it’s just like working those older jobs. There is no advancement in the field of streaming, just as there was no advancement for working at a carnival. Even worse, creators on streaming platforms are not given the same workers’ protections as a regular job, beholden to the ‘gig economy’ style of employment where you can have your job snatched out from under you and you get no attempt to bargain your own pay. Then there is the fact that you have to be constantly performing and hope you don’t lose your audience.

The thing about historians saying that people were friends and not lovers is to avoid coming to conclusions without necessary evidence. Now, I’m sure there is a degree of homophobia, but historians aren’t from those cultures, so they can’t say for certain if a behavior was actually evident of homosexuality or if it is simply the lens of modern culture.

I have a funny story about this. In 1685, James II, a Catholic, came to the throne in England. The people, who were very protestant, let this happen with minimal rebellion because everyone thought he was gay. But in the 1600’s they didn’t really have a word for homosexuality, so the only thing that is clear from historical records is they were very sure he wasn’t going to have a kid during his reign (he already had a daughter). So my history professor professor explained it as they all thought he was nudge nudge you know. But when he did end up having a son, all hell broke loose and the people of England basically invited William of Orange to invade.

I’m really gonna shave my head this time. Thinking about going full SHARP, aesthetically.

Hmm, what’s his kenjutsu level? Anything below second kyu and he should still be using a wooden bokken.

Is it just me or is there this kind of American Israel supporter who has the mentality of a right-wing conspiracy theorist, but they’re liberal so they can’t question the government or the elites? Like, They latch on to the ideas like ‘Israel is the only safe place for Jews to live’ because they want to believe there is some evil force in the world that they can connect threads on a pin board to, but lacking in any right-wing boogeymen or actual class analysis, they just lean into what they see on MSNBC really, really, hard.

ngl I’m starting to come around on cursive, at least for signatures. It’s fun to come up with your own little art piece to put on contracts and shit.

Amelia Bedelia was neurodivergent! And we mocked her! Shame on us, ages 5 and up!

Yes, they finally remembered that Metroid exists, and I appreciate it, but almost a decade and a half of completely forgetting about a female protagonist as pressure for exactly that continued to mount. Like, not even in promotional material for the most part. Call me bitter but Metroid games have consistently been one of the best experiences on each console they have been on, and the series was forgotten for years because It wasn’t as liked in Japan as it was in America.

At this point it’s complaining for complainings sake.

What else is the internet for?

I said nigh. But in the past 14 years we have gotten 1 new game and 1 remake. And the game before that was Other M.

You keep PS5 posting, and I keep making the same joke. But I want to say that I am genuinely happy you’re enjoying the game
