That makes it all the more effective!

Out of curiosity, I ran the script of our old game Bunny Hill Horror through DeepSeek AI.

What a time to be alive!

Excited to see Zombie Society: Dead Detective by Interactales back on @newgrounds.com ! Browser games like this, Darkside Detective and The Last Door got me into modern #pointandclick #adventuregames www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

I wouldn't be surprised if it was- there are so many casual PC users. Working in a hospital, I can't think of too many medical secretaries in their 50s, for instance, who'd even think of looking for alternatives!

Nobody, but they serve a dedicated base of users who stumble into Microsoft's traps (like "Let's finish setting up your PC"- "Good news, Edge is now your default search engine!") and don't know how to escape.

“Self-driving taxis safe” says self-writing article.

From the new Private Eye, out now.

Very sad news about Rob Grant, who, along with Doug Naylor created the long running comedy series Red Dwarf.

Saw Jeremy Corbyn (just about) at today's anti fascist demo in Manchester.

Treated myself to a Steam Deck! Can confirm that adventure games are much better to play lying down 😊

Half Man Half Biscuit at the Ritz tonight. Pretty sure 90% of the attendance were born in a 5 year year range. Always outstanding. Few gigs have me grinning from ear to ear for the whole show.

Mine might go to spam too, but I've finally got something off my chest after years! 😉

Love when opponents don't understand en passant and seem to think I've hacked chess or something... @lichess.org

Can recommend!

I do stuff like this, but it doesn't look nearly as good!

It's been so long since I've done any animation, I'm having to reload demo files to remember what I did. "Of course! Add extra bones for inner and outer elbows and weight the arms to the torso for material stretch!"
This is exciting for me, even if no-one else 😁

To be fair, "cognitive amplifier tools" is bigger slop than any AI could come up with.

To be fair, he did try to manufacture a pretext with all that oil tanker piracy- hoping Venezuela would retaliate. Give the guy some credit...

New from Gnomemart: Wrist Bike Bell.

Fed up with other pedestrians dawdling along, looking at their phones? Just one ring on the Wrist Bike Bell and hey presto! The pavement is yours as they dive out of the way thinking a Lime bike is about to run them over!

From the new Private Eye, out now.

I'll look forward to it on the Full Sauce. Love segments like these- always have something of a nightmare quality to them!

Only 71° for Prince of the Yolkfolk? What was Linda thinking?! 😅
