Just watched a show and it had:

Chuck Taylor (now AEW) & Johnny Gargano (WWE) vs Orange Cassidy (AEW) & Drew Gulack (WWE)

And really weird "Oh wow, I know all these guys from right now" vibes. 13 years ago they were still really good, gosh.

Coping with the loss of AEW Dark by acquiring vast amounts of Chikara I never got to watch before

and gosh

Chikara was so good

Also it's amazing how many current top-billing wrestlers are there (either looking eerily young, or dressed as ants)

literally the only thing I remember from that book is "Pope's got horses like nobody's business"

People say that reading The Prince is pointless, but yknow what? I read it as a teenager, and I've never mounted a pitched battle against the Vatican cavalry

Not once

@variance what show?

Watching through the King Of DDT tournament, and it's heartening to see a wrestling audience with a 5:1 ratio of women to men

Also not-news but gosh Yukio Sakaguchi & Chris Brookes are very good

@siege envious EDS noises from deep within a mechsuit of joint braces :P

@Gulfie @codl someone invented a Tacticool Saxaphone

@siege End Of Barbangelion

@niss that's a pretty existential question for a captcha

tiny muddy puppy just chillin out

It's incredible the amount of people who use "gaslighting" as a fun quirky word for "lying", who don't realise they're on the level of a 2008 gamerbro going "You got raped in that last match, bro! Triggered much??"

Just read this new article on how 'Capitalism Is Gaslighting You', and this hilarious tweet about 'that time the barrista at Starbucks gaslit me by giving me dairy-free milk in my coffee'

Istg the only difference is it's gone so mainstream that people don't even think they're being edgy anymore. It's just been uncritically appropriated as part of the general lexicon.

@Tanatoes looks great!

@mycroft@paws.town Mm, that's reasonable!

@mycroft@paws.town Yeesh D:

Have you tried Guild Wars 2? I never really got into MMOs, but I get the impression it's fairly WoW-adjacent.

Oooh. Spent the past month or so trying to adjust to using eye-tracking for my mouse stuff. Started off with Talon, but it's like the head/eye control are constantly wrestling with each other for control.

Precision Gaze Mouse is way better for it at the moment, I think. It does require 3 programs running at the same time, but immediately more stable to use. and less spontaneous crashing. Very glad I went back and tried the older software, very glad it's still on the web.
