Sony doesn’t know what tf they doing. All the disk nerds are gonna end up with bazzite machines by 2030. I was talking to my partner about this yesterday and we realized it’ll be a pretty good hustle in a few years to just sell pirated pc games (really anything that isn’t on GOG). Unless you’re really into god of war idk what sony games are worth dealing with all this, especially if square enix doesn’t follow suit and stop releasing on PC.

Being fat is obviously not good. All I’m saying is you’re screwed one way and screwed the other way. It’s a bit pessimistic or sarcastic take on the matter. Even if someone has private insurance and they’re overweight it’s still screws everyone else because the insurance companies raise the rates. That leads less cost for the medical system the hospital the government what have you the insurance company still make more money because they overcharge the shit out of everybody anyway.

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Blorptube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Squid Game Season 3 (2025), a Korean Netflix series set in a dystopian world in which cash-strapped contestants agree to compete against each other in children’s games for a cash prize, only to discover that the penalty for losing is death. Who will be the last person standing to collect the loot, and what kind of twisted minds came up with this game, anyway? I guess we’ll find out. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk is otherwise best-known for the acclaimed drama Silenced (2011), which we have not yet watched, but we will. This was a huge hit when it debuted on Netflix, and Letterboxd loves it, so let’s give it a whirl. Episode 6 of season 3 tonight, finishing off the series. After that is Viy (1967), a Soviet horror film about a seminary student who must spend three nights inside a remote village church praying over the corpse of a dead witch. A whole bunch of spooky stuff happens during that time as various spirits and demons torment him. Will he last through all three nights, or will he lose his faith altogether and nope the hell outta there? I guess we’ll find out. This is by far the best-known and best-regarded work of the film’s two directors, Georgi Kropachyov and Konstantin Ershov. It is probably the best-known horror film from the USSR. Last is Masters of the Universe (1987), the live-action adaptation of the He-Man toy line, and its animated TV series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983). Dolph Lundgren of Rocky IV (1985) fame stars as the eponymous hero, a tower of sentient muscle named Adam who transforms into He-Man with a magic sword to battle the evil forces of Skeletor (Frank Vangella). We meant to show this one awhile ago, but never did; that changes tonight. This is the sole feature-film credit of director Gary Goddard, who is otherwise best-known for creating the TV series Captain Power (1987) and Skeleton Warriors (1994). It’s 80s schlock, but it looks like some solid slop. We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine Be there, comrades!

I started Cyberpunk 2077 but I’m not quite ready for another big RPG yet. Got Deep Rock Galactic and played a few hours. I also played some Heroes of Hammerwatch 2. Mostly though I’ve been playing Wayfinder which has been a pleasant surprise. The art has some real WoW BfA vibes (first area reminds me of Boralus).

This was brought on by the Sony news that all disk based distribution will stop. At what point do I have be concerned that a cart or disk I buy won’t work on my system without a mandatory download? The ps3 seem pretty clear but I seem to recall a game or two that did require a download, or system update, to play. How many ps4/ps5 games would I be able to play without a server connection? What about switch 1 /2 games? Is there a website that tracks this or a way to tell?

As death and injury tolls from Venezuela’s pair of devastating earthquakes last week continue to rise, a coalition of human rights and anti-war groups called on President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday to lift the US sanctions that have crippled the nation’s economy. “As long as sweeping economic sanctions remain in place and Venezuelan assets remain frozen abroad, reconstruction will be unnecessarily delayed, and millions of people will continue to suffer,” said the letter, which was written by Just Foreign Policy, the Latin American Working Group, and Venezuelan American Community Action and shared exclusively with Common Dreams. It has been signed by more than a dozen other groups, including the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Peace Action, and the Presbyterian Church’s Office of Public Witness. The earthquakes have killed nearly 2,300 people as of Wednesday, a death toll that is expected to rise, with the number of missing people greater than 40,000, according to an unofficial estimate. The United Nations’ resident coordinator said the UN was preparing more than 10,000 body bags for the country “in anticipation of the death toll rising further.” The quakes caused $6.7 billion in damage, the equivalent of 6% of the country’s gross domestic product, the UN Development Program estimated last week. In the letter sent Wednesday, the groups welcomed the State Department’s mobilization of support for Venezuela, which has included search and rescue teams, military personnel for disaster relief, and at least $150 million in humanitarian assistance through aid partners and the UN. But they said, “It is clear that emergency relief alone will not be enough.” “Venezuela’s recovery will require access to its own financial resources and the ability to import the equipment, construction materials, medicine, fuel, spare parts, and other goods needed to rebuild homes, hospitals, schools, roads, ports, and critical infrastructure,” they said. They said acquiring these needs has been made vastly more difficult by US sanctions that have “deliberately crushed Venezuela’s economy, restricting the government’s ability to import goods, maintain infrastructure, and deliver basic services to its population.” Even before the earthquakes, they pointed out, nearly a third of Venezuela’s population was in need of humanitarian assistance in May, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. They said US “responsibility” for the state of Venezuela’s economy has only grown since Trump’s operation in January to topple and abduct President Nicolás Maduro. Despite Venezuela’s oil exports rising 25%, its economic growth plummeted to an annual rate of just 2.5% in the first quarter of 2026, according to an analysis of bank data by Francisco Rodríguez, a senior research fellow at CEPR, who said it was “the lowest rate of growth observed since the second quarter of 2021.” “The data suggests the US may be holding Venezuelan oil revenues in deposit accounts and not disbursing them to the Venezuelan government,” the letter said, “currently leaving ordinary Venezuelans with too little of the promised economic improvement and directly contradicting the Trump administration’s claim that Venezuelans are doing better than ever.” Given the US role in creating these conditions, as well as the role of US sanctions in turning Venezuela’s economic crisis in the 2010s into one of the worst depressions of the last 50 years, the coalition said the Trump administration must not continue using economic warfare to force political concessions. They also condemned calls from Democrats, including Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Jeanne Shaheen (NH) and House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Gregory Meeks (NY) earlier this month, for the Trump administration to “exercise its leverage” on Venezuela’s current government, led by President Delcy Rodriguez, to push for democratic elections. “The primary leverage the US has long held over Venezuela includes indiscriminate economic sanctions, alongside threats of military action that are illegal under US and international law,” the coalition said. “Using economic pressure against a civilian population as a political tool was unconscionable before this earthquake,” they continued. “In its aftermath, any call to tighten that leverage, or to attach political conditions to aid or in exchange for a lifting of economic sanctions must be recognized for what it is—an act of collective punishment against long-suffering civilians who should not face further indiscriminate harm due to US policy.” The coalition said that the Trump administration’s limited, temporary unfreezing of some sanctions to allow humanitarian relief transactions was “wildly insufficient,” as it did not unfreeze other sanctions that have hamstrung Venezuela’s economy. “The Venezuelan government must be free to receive and allocate earthquake relief and to direct humanitarian support to those who need it most,” the letter said. “Anything short of a full lifting of sanctions will hobble the overall response before it gets off the ground.” They called for the US to provide “massive humanitarian assistance” without political strings attached. They also said the US must release Venezuelan oil revenues held in US accounts and pressure other countries like the UK and Portugal to do so as well. “This is Venezuela’s money, and it is now urgently needed,” the groups said. “Withholding it during a national catastrophe of this magnitude is indefensible.” They also called on the US to lift all sanctions on Venezuela, which they said “impede the delivery of humanitarian goods, reconstruction materials, and financial transfers needed for disaster response and economic recovery.” “The United States has a short window to demonstrate that its relationship with the Venezuelan people is not merely transactional,” the letter concluded. “The scale of aid must match the scale of the harm the United States has played a role in creating. Anything less would confirm what many Venezuelans already fear: that American concern for their welfare begins and ends where American geopolitical and economic interests do.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

Sandusky, Ohio is hell on earth for goth misfits and Stevie Nicks superfans Gypsy Vale (Sara Rue) and her younger, queer protégée Clive Webb (Birkett Turton). When they discover a New York City club is hosting a “Night of 1000 Stevies”, the pair hit the road with high hopes that Gypsy will be able to perform. Along the way, they encounter other misfits who pave the way to their salvation, all while discovering profound truths about themselves. Costarring John Doe of the legendary punk band X and the great Karen Black as a has-been lounge singer, Todd Stephens’s cult favorite puts a queer, outsider spin on both the road movie and the coming-of-age journey, with plenty of black eyeliner to spare. For its 25th Anniversary, GYPSY 83 has been completely reimagined as a brand-new Director’s Cut, restored in 4K from the 35mm camera negative. Now featuring over 40 minutes of never-before-seen footage and containing more legendary goth songs from bands like The Cure, Cocteau Twins and Echo and the Bunnymen, the Director’s Cut is sure to satiate longtime fans and create a generation of new ones. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/33343-gypsy-83

Have you ever looked at the color theory of economics? It was originally about cars. When the economy is nice, people buy fun color cars, because they like fun colors. Then the economy is shit, people buy black/white/gray/red because those colors maintain resale value.

Thanks! Thanks to my hunger being one of the triggers for migraines, I rarely go over 3h awake without food. I do usually take it with food, to both shield the digestive tract and also slow down the absorption of the drug.

Yep! Great point. Women were (and are) used for unpaid domestic labor, but this labor is absolutely socially necessary. In this way, the nuclear family arose as a way for capitalists to avoid paying for domestic labor, where the wage of the man was essentially the social cost of reproducing a family. Women were made dependent, and entire families created in such a fashion as to be the most profitable for capitalists.

They run E3. Oh wait that died. They run ESRB and rate games. Not that anyone pays attention. So that pretty much leaves their extensive lobbying efforts on behalf of the largest publishers in favor of more copyright law and such.
