I realize this is confusing, but the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran isn’t a domestic political story.

I think if you go back and play MGS, it’s all there. DS2, in a lot of ways, is a consummation of threads he’s been pulling for a few decades.

I’m definitely not into Kojima worship, as if he has no flaws. I have real indignation toward his treatment of voice actors. Still, he’s an auteur.

As a millennial uh-oh with 4 Gen X siblings, this tracks.

lfg let's bring back donation of constantine discourse

Trump posts image of him as Jesus.

Evangelicals suddenly think he’s crossed a line.

Trump says he thought it was him as a Red Cross worker.

Evangelicals are satisfied, going back to thinking the guy whose excuse also reveals a complete ignorance if Christian imagery is “a good Christian guy.”

Emulation is preservation. There’s also the practical challenge of rare games, games whose publishers don’t exist any longer, scalpers, etc.

*rubbing eyes*

This thread is my best effort to put solid cites on the contents of the Iranian "10 point proposal", which various news articles over the last couple days have referenced, and which versions of are currently floating around Bluesky.

(This is attempt 2, for me. I deleted attempt 1.)

Sonic still holds the trophy for the best video game movie series for me. By a long shot.

The first Mario movie was such a disappointment that I think I went into this one with low enough expectations to kind of enjoy it.

But every time I hear Mario talk (thankfully less in this movie), my disgust for the casting is renewed.

Too sociopathic to even be read in Joker’s voice.

Everyone pays for search. The only difference is what you pay with.

Doing bonsai is making me think about establishing a leader shoot in the split ends in my beard.

When shit gets so crazy that, because they briefly exhibit a tiny bit of ethical separation from the fascist, populist rightwing and you are like, ok maybe Rand Paul and Thomas Massey are actually free moral agents.

Top notch.

Marathon is the first shooter in a long time that’s really drawn me in. I’m really digging it. Feels like classic Bungie to me.

A gameplay snap showing the SVGA rendition of the Enterprise D's bridge and command crew with a captain's log being spoken and spelled out in text below. An episode title card is authentically show. "A Final Unity."

Episode-style presentation and full voice acting from the cast? DOS PC-playing TNG fans ate well in '95.

📺: Star Trek: A Final Unity, Spectrum Holobyte, 1995.

Thanks so much! It's an interesting time to be making technology for sure and it makes it hard to know what to post about that's not "look here's a coding agent", so it's really encouraging to get the feedback.

I’ll send you a message today. 👍

Yesterday I went down a rabbit hole of personal reflection (no pun intended) of meta programming and how the approach to an agentic system I took with MOTHER, written in #fsharp, actually aligns nicely with F#’s lineage in the programming language world.

And that’s just our closest siblings and cousins in the faith.

Buddhists, Hindus - people everywhere are seeking the common good, the same telos.

Religion should be a ground for unity, not division.

That moment when you’re Catholic explaining to your kids why Islamophobia is wrong because it’s back in the center of politics.

Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship the same God and share Abraham as our father in faith.

And religious extremism - including Christian extremism - is always a threat.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

I feel like a whippersnapper, I started on AIM.

this cures what ails me every time

RIP Hideki Sato. Former Sega President (2001-2003) and father of Sega's consoles, including my favourite one, the Mega Drive, has passed at the age of 75.

The legacy he leaves behind is immense and cherished. 💜

Massie and Khanna are a picture of how very opposing politics can at least respectfully converge on basic issues.

Today is the tenth anniversary of Firewatch's release. It remains the thing I'm most proud to have worked on. There's more of me inside of Firewatch than in any other game—and I have no doubt there are others on the team who would say the same about themselves. Thanks to everyone who ever played it.

Interesting take from the OP. The people I tend to see taking the “don’t use AI” stance are the people who, if they lacked firm ethics, could easily choose to use AI but don’t, despite not having money.

It’s the social elite who are choosing to rob the world of beauty to save a buck.
