Ai companies are trying to buy credibility through Hollywood endorsements but all I see are artists permanently branding themselves as scabs

I've liked all of Strange Scaffold's games, but I think this might be the best. Real juicy stuff. A frantic, boggle-eyed look at the raw insanity of modern economics/gambling.
Also Wenbill absolutely did have it coming. Whatever suffering the game inflicts upon him probably isn't enough.

Imagine, with the genocides, apartheid, illegal wars, the global economy collapsing, starvation, concentration camps, wars, masked government-sent terrorists in Israel & the US - and the scariest thing you've ever seen is 5% conditional taxes on your multi-million dollars real estate hoarding.

Just a soupçon
among the many ways this is bananas and gross it also fails to understand that the layers separating employees who do actual work from the business execs at the top is both necessary for anything to get done correctly and for anyone to not figure out they're working for, functionally, a 12 year old

I appreciate that Noah's been interviewing the non-Platner/Mills Dem Senate candidates from Maine, but oh boy is it going to be an uphill battle for any of them. Currently, "someone else" (non-Platner/Mills) is polling at just 4%. emersoncollegepolling.com/maine-2026-p...
Struggling with the work/WW3 balance.
I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us.

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.
We need a low barrier to entry option, and we're rapidly losing them all. Consoles WERE the on-ramp for new / returning players, esp later in the gen when prices were much more reasonable.
If we lose the low barrier option, we will shrink our footprint (and phones aren't the answer in the West).

it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.
I don't post for other people. I scream into the void for me. If all social media/forums disappeared tomorrow, I'd just do what our ancestors did: call into CSPAN & pretend to be normal long enough to get past the screener, then let the intrusive thoughts win as soon as I'm on the air.
yes but consider this: who cares. i posted on the age of conan forums. do you think i give a shit
Gonna piggyback Robert’s words of wisdom and add that every game can be prototyped with cards and/or a spreadsheet.
Tbf, the interviewer asked him who was his "favorite Luigi in recent American history". Which, if you define "recent" & "American history" in the most obvious ways is a set containing basically just one name.
UNFAIR FLIPS UPDATE: THE FLIPS ARE FAIR NOW.
For the next 24 hours, YOU can test your TRUE mettle in coin flipping. No more probability, just pure skill.

Please send help, I am drowning in limited edition plastic that I am not good enough to put together well.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇
understanding how the most successful use of llms actually works is both enlightening and demystifying
it's a throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall machine plus a test-spaghetti-wall-stickiness machine working in concert
and there quite frankly aren't that many domains where this approach can work
Not the way I do it
This is true wisdom
May I interest you in another expensive hobby? Gunpla kits are fun, easy to put together, & (in some cases) devastatingly expensive.
Hey uh…don’t play around with people’s drinks or food for April Fool’s Day. Some of us have life-threatening allergies and some of the “jokes” I’m seeing people reminisce about today are terrifying actually 🫠
