What the fuuuuck? This industry man...hope you get some well-earned unwinding. Wherever you go next is lucky to have you...if you need a sympathetic ear my door is always open!

I fully support Yarn Spinner and am ready to forgive their gross oversight, and look forward to them expanding their suite of divination support systems for combinatoric narrative in the future.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

It is inevitable (in the good way)

Ahh, what an auspicious start to GDC! A good evening of catching up with old friends and making new ones. We’re all in this crazy thing together, aren’t we.

Hey that Celtic Miscellany is a good one!

Speaking of nothing in particular, I went to this last year during GDC and it was chill. It's just a couple blocks from the Lake Merritt BART station.

Looks like pop-ups for lunch...wonder if it's because the SF mall nearby hasn't been doing great lately so maybe food court isn't reliable? Open to all in a fenced in area is indeed a headscratcher...I suppose we will see. 11-2pm matches these events in the schedule I guess

I don't expect Informa to understand the bad optics of erecting fences of any kind in a space that's supposed to be public where specifically maybe devs don't CARE if we actually interact with the SF public community a bit, but they're certainly about to find out. Hopefully the barrier is permeable

I am squinting skeptically at this...if you need a pass to get into this area in Yerba Buena Gardens during GDC there will be an outcry I don't think Informa has reckoned with. But if it's "now there's tents and the stage is now spoken for so emergent performances can't happen but idk cool music"...

early-game caves of qud advice is "go north and look at the statue" and late-game caves of qud advice is "enter a precognitive vision before you cook with neutron flux" and that's why it's the game of all time

These days it feels like I have to catch myself before asking questions about the news that sound completely unhinged, and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m slowly poisoned by algorithms exposing me to certain combinations of events, or if our world truly has become that unhinged.

Discord Takes Down ‘Spy.pet’ Website that Harvested Data from Hundreds of Millions of Users Discord recently announced it took down Spy.

Not that anything you post on Discord is secure anyway

I don’t know what’s worse, having to provide a government ID to a company that can’t protect that data because they aren’t snooping enough data on me to infer demographics, or not needing to because they’re already spying on me enough they don’t need it.

Update on a Security Incident Involving Third-Party Customer Service | Discord At Discord, protecting the privacy and security of our users is a top priority. That’s why it’s important to us that we’re transparent with them about events that impact their personal information.

I do miss iOS constantly correcting did to DoD for the sake of the government official watching my phone, but I’m sure the new one will come up with an equally logical correction to foist upon me

Or maybe it’s just the performance hit adding rim lights to all my icons so they look more distracting and worse? Honestly there are so many cool new things it’s hard to pick just one!

I do love that every app opening and input now has lag, because nothing makes me want to buy a better iPhone like seeing it being incapable of performatively typing text in a web form. Maybe it’s all the cool AI

I wonder how many million dollars Apple burned with this Glass iOS update that makes everything less responsive and look demonstrably worse. I do like that it’s make auto-correct and my keyboard worse though, so I guess I can’t complain

Positive: wow California has a new website where you can register to have data brokers remove your information from them!

Cassian Andor is flying a freighter through the eye of Aldahni, the shimmering fragments burning through the atmosphere in a deadly kaleidoscope. The caption reads " 'jail isn't real," i assure myself as i close my eyes andd ram the hallmark gift shop with my shitty bronco"

In honor of the Andor trailer out today, I today repost my greatest online achievement: The Andor Characters as Dril Tweets series. I'm going to put them out as I get spare time over the next couple days, as I'm going to put alt text on them too. Starting with the man himself
