Oh I thought the playoffs announcement this weekend was for football, where ND is independent.

Anyway. I’ve spoken about tariffs a lot. At some level (and it’s lower than 130%) the actual number doesn’t really matter cuz it’s all devastation-level. The volatility and unpredictability is really what this new move re-highlights. Businesses can’t function if revenue is one-man-whim-based.

[pushing glasses up]

Well actually…

It’s 130%.

100% on top of the current 30%.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Raffi was NOT expecting a crash course in fracture mechanics when he asked why Panel Liner cracks Gundam plastic if you aren’t careful.

But now he knows about plastic embrittlement and has a science fair experiment for this year…

The cash

It oscillated between indiscriminate (and instant) ultraviolence and randomly pausing for drama (and plot armor). The party scene is a good example, as was the opening when it banged/dug into the hiding spot. Seemed out of character even for Aliens

I can’t elucidate *why* but the opening sequence and scenes are so effect as homage vs all the references and Easter eggs in Marvel/SW RotS despite being more overt in many cases.

Awesome show. Only complaint is some Xenomorph inconsistency within the show and within universe

Slowly chipping away at this little in-hand card game.

There's now a gear shift/speed gauge on the right-hand side of the player card.

The idea is you slide the horizontal card at the back of the deck up and down to show how fast you're driving.

Mayday, Miss Marcy! Hobby Parenting, Palette Panic, and Respecting Yourself Enough to Leave Mayday Miss Marcy is back this week with special additional assistance from Rob and Raf on parenting and gaming, and Greg on anime or something.

This week on Mayday, Miss Marcy! I get some help from the Dads @captainraffi.bsky.social and @thechirurgeon.bsky.social and then answer a particularly heavy question a lot of queers face: When will you love yourself enough to leave harmful spaces? www.goonhammer.com/mayday-miss-...

He looks like a real one I bet he has

Yes agreed. They take up so much space

Calvin smashing little 3D doll armies together and making little pew pew noises is roughly 80% of the appeal of Warhammer 40k

Black Library Writers Respond to Meta Scraping Their Work We spoke to a number of Black Library writers across the industry about the specific scraping of their work in a pirated LibGen library and larger issues with AI in general.

Warhammer’s Black Library authors found their works had been vacuumed up by Meta’s horrendous theft of creative work.

I just think that if a game has big mechs in it, the mechs should fight and them fighting should be a good thing.

Post Malone and Oreo collaborated on special release so I would like to manifest Post Malört please and thank you

Can we adequately fund schools please? I’m tired of eating at Buffalo Wild Wings fundraisers

I’m struggling to think how it could have been more wrong and the only thing left to get wrong would have been spelling errors

The smallest Carnomorph is not called a Larva, it does not do an Infest, you do not place a Larva, and two additional things happen besides the contamination card.

You don’t even *use* larvas when you use the Carnomorph expansion, that is explicitly stated in the rulebook.

What if you just paid a rule book editor? Spent a little more on development to smooth out edge cases?

Awaken Realms just launched an AI tool you’re supposed to be able to ask questions of mid game. I love Nemesis but it is full of edge cases and I think the rule books are poor.

Tried the tool, and the second question I asked it is wrong in a very standard LLM way of being wrong.

A side effect of companies doing public playtests alongside or after successful Kickstarters is a legacy of BGG forum rule questions with wrong answers

Team name is the Oscar Slayer Wee Knees

Exciting things are happening
