Then a full 59 years later, instead of being buried with his wife, he chose to be buried next to the twink he could not ever stop thinking about that he knew in his teens and 20s.
But they were "just apprentices and friends."
His father was so incensed with his choice that "in his insane rage he struck him a blow which fell him to the ground."
After Keaths death, for years Sevrin painted portraits of Keats and wrote several papers on him.
I contend that no one in the history of the world has ever yearned as hard and as queerly as Joseph Severn. The man who left his family to journey to Rome with is "friend" in 1820. He spent the last year of Keat's life nursing him while he died, confusing everyone he knew and loved.
I currently have my phone lock screen as some art someone made of them together.
I guess it’s just weird because I’m used to the process of cautiously evaluating new technologies and reporting back well thought out research on why a given tech is going to provide value. I’m used to risk/reward research. And with AI all of that seems to go out the window at a lot of places.
Anyway fun to see we are essentially defrauding investors at major companies by incentivizing employees to burn through AI tokens as fast as they can even when those tokens aren’t providing value. The reckoning that will prob arrive soon once investors understand they are being taken for a ride…
It’s wild to me to see CEOs saying things like “I’d casually be super happy alloting half each employee’s wage in AI tokens for that employee” when they aren’t willing to pay those employees more, and AI has not proven to make employees more productive, in fact it’s consistently the opposite.
All this talk about AI Jesus and AI diseased loved ones has me remembering the Orville episode "Last Impressions," which was deeply dystopian to me. The idea of recreating people based on information they didn't consent to. Its just creepy in a way I cant put to words.
Ouch, the end of DTF St Louis hurts
Something I wish I saw more of. People talking about how much of what makes something good really does come down to the people who make it and how hard they work and how much they love it:

I am constantly in wonder of the ways people come up with to solve problems when you give them tooos and get out of their way. Often times amazing solutions come from people and places you least expect.
Same with players or users. During user research studies or feedback sessions, I’ll often find really great new ideas when I let them show me how they hacked the thing we gave them. The WoW player base are brilliant in how they have found novel ways to use addons, esp for accessibility.
Let new ideas surprise you. It can be rally easy to think, once you have a solution, that you should give everyone else that solution. I can’t tell you how many times a junior dev has come up with some shockingly cool new idea when I let them have the chance to try rather than giving the answer.
Was the intention for the name "Viltrumites" for them to sound like an invasive bug species?
Pretty sure thats what River Tam felt like at the Odi bar
Turned on Danny Go! last night to see what it was. I couldn't look away for a full episode. I feel like I'm prob gonna see a Lindsay Ellis video on this at some point lol.
That’s daft init?
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him
I’m trying very hard right now to find any verse in the Bible where Jesus said “blow up an entire civilization” and man I’m having a real hard time finding one.
Btw if you call yourself a Hufflepuff and decide to watch the new HP show after JK Rowling said she would give all the money she gets from it to anti trans funds... you aren't a Hufflepuff. Honestly same if you say you're a Ravenclaw. Tho it tracks for Gryffindor and Slitherin.
NASA really said "Our favorite map projection is McArthur’s Universal Corrective Map"
The other 10% is that the devs just couldnt reproduce the bug effectively enough to fix it, and only got enough info to reproduce it after it affected players.
I'd say a good 90% of the time you see a bug in a game it was either fully undiscoverable at the scope of a game dev team, or there is a ticket sitting around somewhere that just couldnt or wouldnt get done in time.
There are a lot of reasons a bug gets into a game:
1. No one discovered it (not always a lack of QA)
2. Someone decided it wasn't important enough to spend time to fix
3. You just don't have enough devs or time to fix it
4. A lot of bugs just wont be found until you have a lot of players testing it.
My mild take of the day: You can have all the QA in the world but if you dont have enough dev time to fix the bugs or mitigate the risk, you will just have a nice little pile of tickets and not any meaningful fixes. QA is vitally important to games, but its not QA's fault that bugs make it live.
When the trolls and half trolls show up to your event when you didnt invite them, but they save your life so you have to be like "ooooooh, sorry did the invitations get lost in the mail?"

Video games accessibility is production reality.
If your UI breaks when resized, your core mechanic relies on one type of input, your onboarding assumes prior genre literacy and so on, you’ve already made design choices about who gets to play.
Most barriers aren’t technical, they’re cultural.
Anyway don’t let anyone gaslight you. Byler was 100% endgame until divorecegate.
