I'm watching what's happening, but.... We don't have the knowledge or the spoons to really analyze it enough to comment on it beyond that we think people are doing generally good stuff and we hope this leads to actual change and improvement.

apparently xenoblade chronicles just came out on the switch

...we might end up buying this game a third time in the not too distant future, since this release has new story content

@SquirrelLilly I forget, what time are your streams?

bats: cute
cats: cute
rats: cute

by extrapolation, we can predict that anything matching the regex ".ats" is cute

if C is so good, why's there no D

is anyone else annoyed by how wednesday is pronounced nothing like how it's spelled?

that weird three-headed skeleton thing isn't even in the game!! and none of those people look like the characters they're supposed to be!!

every time we're reminded of the travesty that is suikoden's north american boxart we just want to have some Words with whoever thought they even needed to change the art from the japanese one

(this is a reference to a link to the past if you're wondering. people in the speedrunning community usually talk about activating the flute but really i prefer to think of it as activating the duck)
