i know it’s already happening but please, fuck, no. we don’t need more media giants and content mills. I don’t know why y’all want Nintendo to be a Disney. look at the wasteland.
If Xbox ceases to be "a console" and Nintendo shifts to being "a Disney" then I just wanna let yall know I'm gonna scream even louder for Sega to return to the console business

phil becomes ceo of playstation
phil announces playpass
phil announces we are going multi platform
phil announces playstation death
phil becomes ceo of nintendo
phil announces “nintendo switch 3 is the only way to play every single game possible”
phil announces “this was the plan all along”
dinosaurs eat phil
woman inherits the earth
 
So now that rumors are swirling about how the Xbox is going out of fashion, it gave me a most marvelous idea for a most devious scheme. Please put on some MUSIC.

GAMBIT: WARDROBE MALFUNCTION

The Montatwos send their highly trained agents into the households of the other factions, raiding their wardrobes and ensuring that every possible combination of wearable items look disastrous. Dressed to kill? More like dressed like swill.

SUCCESS (13/9)

None shall soon forget LOUD MONDAY, the day the world forgot fashion. Neon bloodshed in the square. Record-setting optical damage. In fair Verona, where we lay our SCREAMS...

The TWOs perfectly execute their prank – all houses must wear unimaginably bad outfits or roam the streets nude.

It gets so bad, in fact, that a new and exceedingly violent law enforcement branch is formed by emergency order. Yes... the Literal Fashion Police.

Years of history take place in a day – protests, counter-protests, riots, public-swaying horrors... conservatives sending tanks and howling for slaughter, liberals promising they'll do something about it next year if you donate today...

Collective action could have saved us. But our FACTIONS are too divided. All hope seems lost.

But then, a whirring overhead.

The Revenant appears to us like a mass dream, gleaming like liquid chrome of inscrutable color.

It received our message – poetry in gnashing fabric, fashion faux pas as a cry for help.

Light like smoke blares across the city. The Literal Fashion Police, and all those who enabled them, are never seen again.

No one speaks of what happened that day. But none shall soon forget.

Site slowing to a crawl this week. That’s another sign of the Directpocalyose.

Semi-related… been thinking a lot lately of what a Bird & Beans x Duck Hunt crossover game would look like

The abyss is inevitable

we need a hard counter to the disney adults
Like... regular adults?

Oh ahem I STRIKE LOVE IN THE NAME OF TWO
 
Ideally, Nintendo's media expansion would be limited to 2min shorts that you can only download on their hardware before they put them on YouTube a few years later.

ngl, I thought you were talking about the giant moth for a second there

we need a hard counter to the disney adults
. . . dammit I actually agree with this

at some point you have to recognize that more of a bad thing is just more of a bad thing
And that's why instead of leaning into the ever growing Nintendo Media Empire, I choose to be a Segadult
 
pouring gasoline on the fire puts it out faster its basic chemistry
do you have a FACTION? You’re racking up points that will otherwise go to the ABYSS if you don’t claim them.

what moves you? and if no current faction, give me one word for what does
 
uh we gotta align with a faction? who has the coolest shirts
you don’t have to

but you’ve been gathering points just by existing, so they’re gonna go somewhere.

abstaining is to cast them into the ABYSS

choosing a faction awards them to that FACTION

but, we’ve had someone already gain points for MUSIC, a liminal faction with special rules

so really, any reasonable single-word thing you believe in could create another

you could pledge yourself to THOUGHT, @thoughthaver

what if i remain unaligned and play every faction off each other to achieve my strategic geopolitical goals and thereby regional hegemony 🤔
Hey Two has a shirt!

QcQjGPg_d.webp


Plus you have thoughts, which can also be called TWO cents
but that is a sick shirt...
The Abyss has (questionably looking) cowboy outfits! That counts as cool shirt, right?
I think we as a society must reckon with the hard reality that cowboy outfits just aren't cool and we have been lied to by Big Cowboy. and by society i mean texas.

You can do that, but if you don't pick a word, your bonus points all go to the ABYSS and any meddling you do will be unaligned.

That could be in your favor, though!

Picking a word that isn't one of the four factions is fun because you'll accumulate points, and can decide to spend them as either a GIFT or CURSE on any other Faction.
 
House Two! We have a Bill Withers’ theme song! “Just House Two of Us!”

I lull Books to sleep with the sultry tones of Bill Withers!
I'm treating this like a GAMBIT – but next time make sure you say GAMBIT: in front of it so I know!

CRITICAL FAILURE! (4/6)

Your knowledge of sultry jams can't possibly fail you now, can it?

But it does. And badly. As you bump up the volume just a titch, the unthinkable happens – the digital potentiometer gets stuck.

You're in an infinite state of plus one. Louder and louder, until there's nowhere left to go. House TWO's eardrums are being torn apart!

Your speakers take damage until they sound like crushed beer cans. Your compatriots bleed and yowl, looking to you for help! But there's nothing you can do! You can't even move!

By the time a unified group from the other FACTIONS comes in to smash your stereo, you're completely unconscious. The thrashing and tearing is horrific – gory, almost – but none of you wake up to bear witness.

Hours later, you find the waking world again. You resign yourself to confetti.

Hey, did anyone else hear anything? I was too wrapped up in re-reading the cookbook novella we wrote together. Ah, banana based bliss...

Alright, I'm definitely seeing double. Suswave, you didn't eat a Double Cherry, did you?

...no, that can't be right. You have red eyes. That's definitely not normal. And...you seem familiar. But Suswave is a pretty trustworthy person. Something is weird. I think we need to sit down and have a chat.

If we need to lay low, maybe we can play it off as a GAMBIT? You both seem to have access to the Fami account. Yeah, I mentioned a book here. We can make it work. Hope you have some dice to roll, 2us...

GAMBIT: I want to learn more from 2uswave over a nice chat. I have brought some more banana bread - maybe they'd like some too?
 
The Xbox news is so insane. So many companies acquired to now go multi platform. Nothing’s been announced but I initially thought their live services games would be multi-platform.

I wonder if we’ll see them put out a streaming dongle like it was rumored awhile ago with an ad supported Game Pass tier.

Company wise, Microsoft is a services company, so this move does make sense. Still, kinda insane overall that is happening after the last couple of years.

Can someone send me the @ of that really rude Xbox fan on Twitter? I wonder how they’re holding up…
 
The Abysstie Boys coming back to sabotage the game!

Can't stand it, Pyoro planned it
Better set this straight, Nate the Hate
I can't stand speculating up in here
Your patterns and leaks aren't all clear
So you post and post on this site
And forget The Process you might
My temples need a massage
I'm telling y'all, it's Markotage

So, so, so, so shitpost up cause you can't predict nothin'
You'll report me with the push of a button?
But I'm already in The Abyss
All LOVE and TWO do is hiss
Spend your time reading those BOOKS
Here in the void we get dirty looks
Don't go saying what Ninty will do
They'll make damn fools out of you

insert absolutely filthy bass lick
PRIIIIIIIIMMMMMEEEEEEEEE
Our Direct dreams are up in the air
And I'll tell you now I dont care
Not got more to say except this
I strike TWO in the name of ABYSS

i can’t believe my microwave popped a whole bag of popcorn, didn’t burn any and didn’t leave a single kernel unpopped.
And this must count as a MANIFESTATION, right?

alright, alright, that’s pretty lucky. MANIFESTATION granted.

@theguy if you count all the kernels I’ll give ABYSS that many points. y’all could use ‘em.

or maybe x 0.1 since average appears to be 300…

+30 ABYSS unless otherwise adjusted

just to clarify, all the kernels in the bag? or just the ones that didn’t pop?

in the bag total! like. all your corns.

let me put it this way: you get 30 points no matter what, but if you count them all I’ll give you extra no matter what.
