The Hellfridge (wants to translate your silly game to German)

#Undertale, Narrative Desire, and Freud's Masterplot The one #VideoEssay I have made (so far), back when I had the time for that. It's still pretty good, put a lot of work into it, and I think you should watch it, if you like Undertale and academic rambling. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp_D...

It's 2055. Some mid-30s folks gather at a bar for a class reunion. The bar's speakers blast pop music, incomprehesible to a 2020s ear. A man in the group sighs heavily, turns to his friends and says: "Maaaaaan. They just don't make music like Tung Tung Tung Sahur no more." They toast, solemnly.

Asked the BDS movement if it'd like to provide comment on today's House House news:

Am married since Friday, wtf.

24 hours from now I'll be SO married.

Hape Kerkeling fordert ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren. Die Antwort von rechtsaußen: Hass, Häme, homophobe Beleidigungen. Q.e.d. Eine Demokratie darf sich nicht einschüchtern lassen.Solidarität mit Hape Kerkeling. AfD-Verbotsverfahren jetzt‼️

Elif Eralp: Wird aktuell absurd beschimpft und verleumdet, schafft es dennoch Sondierungsgespräche in Berlin zu starten. Jens Spahn nach Sardinien-Urlaub: Alles rund um meine Person ist aktuell so politisiert, dass ein normales Arbeiten kaum möglich sein wird.

„Of course, as there is no effective treatment, it’s a difficult situation for doctors as well as patients. But even worse than no solutions is false solutions, and a dangerous, gaslighting, even punitive approach to a terrible disease.“ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Neun Monate lang habe ich der Glücksspielbehörde in Curaçao live bei der Arbeit zugeschaut. Ohne dass die Mitarbeiter davon wussten. Ich konnte sehen, wem illegale Online-Casinos gehören, wer sie finanziert und was die Behörde über ihre Geschäfte wusste. www.lilithwittmann.de/series/casin...

I won my first local Pokémon League Challenge* at age 35, so never let them tell you what you can or cannot do. You're the pokemaster of your own pokedestiny! Don't let your pokedreams be pokedreams. *(there were 4 participants lol)

Wir brauchen ein AfD-Verbotsverfahren. Jetzt mehr denn je! @katharinadroege.bsky.social 👇

There's 3 types of gamers: Irrational gut reaction hate for the OoTR look, who have slept now and noticed that it's fine actually. Irrational gut reaction hate for the OoTR look who have deluded themselves into thinking their reaction is rational and keep raging. Cool and chill people.

The best thing is this guy right here.

The worst thing about the Ocarina of Time remake is the people reacting to it with a weird amount of vehemence.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

🎥 WIR HABEN EINEN KINOSPOT 🥳 Mit viel ehrenamtlicher Unterstützung haben wir einen ME/CFS Awareness Spot produziert. Wir konnten eine Filmproduktion, eine Motion-Designerin, einen Sprecher und einen Pianisten gewinnen, uns zu unterstützen.

More cops have used flock cameras to stalk women than trans professional athletes even fucking exist Wish talking heads on news programs would bring this fact up every time they even try to talk about trans people in sports 🤷

Still baffled how Ben Shapiro is basically weirded out by and scared of wet pussy and there's still folks who take him seriously. Also I'm so sorry for his wife.

My contribution to the air con debate: Scientists estimate heat waves killed around 178k people in 2023 alone. I propose that every year we ban fossil-fuel-based heating until the same number of people freeze to death. What's that? You think that's cruel and sadistic? Glad we fucking agree.

YES, FINALLY, Volvy is BACK! I hope they remake the rest of the series as well.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

my thoughts (in white notepad) to two posts (on the right in dark)

Introducing her nemesis: D. Fenestrator

Def something for some YT folks like @somemorenews.bsky.social, @lackingsaint.bsky.social, @veritasium.bsky.social and co. to consider (not sure atm who else) I know all y'all need money to survive, but ground news has been giving me the heebie-jeebies for a while.

More froggy climbing. I'm digging this game a lot and it's not just because if the frogs. ❤

I'm streaming climby frog game (the frog games just keep coming to me) published by @thoseawesome as this month's pick for @thegameclub.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/thehellfridge

My contrarian Pokémon take is that every single Pokémon past Gen I is well-designed. Yes, even that one.

This is the first time I've seen someone with the actual correct interpretation of what is happening here: Sony wants to go full subscriptions service/cloud gaming. They don't want to sell you physical games because they don't want to sell you *games*. They want to sell you a subscription.

Liebe Leude ausm Ruhrpott, kommt her, kommt alle. ❤🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏴‍☠️ Shoutouts to @dorkfruit.bsky.social for making that awesome logo.

Dionne Warwick in Heartbreaker "My love is stronger than the universe" Like, wtf, lady. What an amazing mix of the campiest shit and the scariest flex.

Ein harmloser rechter Clown darf also unter dem Deckmantel der Kunstfreiheit frauenverachtende Zoten reißen, während kritische, politische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Faschismus in der Kunst gecancelt wird? Der ÖRR sprintet ja geradezu in vorauseilende Unterwürfigkeit vor dem Faschismus. EkelhAFD.

Die Satiresendung "Die Anstalt" beschäftigt sich mit Radikalisierung. Der queerfreundliche Rapper Danger Dan, der sich seit Jahren gegen Rechtsextremismus engagiert, sollte auftreten. Doch das ZDF lädt ihn aus.

"Driftet immer mehr ab" ist schon ein gewaltiges Understatement und lässt es klingen, als wäre Anti-Demokratie nicht der gewählte und gewollte Kurs.

AI has reached a new frontier: conversion therapy for trans kids. Detrans AI‘s site claims it helps users explore their gender dysphoria. Instead, it cites conspiracy theories and seeks to invalidate trans people — even if it risks their lives. Read my original reporting @rewirenewsgroup.com

Spreche heute ab ca 14:05 im DLF Kultur Wochentalk über das Danger Dan Lied und die Doku "Was haben wir gelacht" Livestream hier, später auch als Podcast www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de

Die CDU will die Leihmutterschaft weiterhin verbieten, hat aber offenbar nichts dagegen, wenn ihre Abgeordneten Leihmütter in den USA beauftragen.

So, I would love to give GDQ the benefit of the doubt here, so I'd like to see a transparent insight into what led to this decision. I personally cannot imagine how an organization as politically aware as GDQ would just be ignorant to what a bad look this is. Somebody must have said something, no?

Heidi Reichinnek hat Recht. Wer in diesem Eiltempo das Krankenkassenpaket samt Änderungsanträgen durch den Bundestag peitscht, kann kein Interesse an einem wirklichen Austausch zwischen Betroffenen, Zivilgesellschaft und Politik haben.

THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!

well that's rockstar, uber and nvidia on the fuck no list source www.bbc.com/news/technol...

Video games, folks

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.
