This is not an achievement when you consider, like, vehicles and things

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

The universe beckons us to use our voice. It demands we announce ourselves to each other in order to place ourselves within society. We cannot resist, we are coerced. Press X to honk...

It's a mug with a top. It's a sheriff cat I guess? You remove the hat to drink? I don't even know anymore, I fucking want this so bad now, you win, Cost Plus

I'm losing my fucking will to fight it
I'm way too close to being like I GIVE THE FUCK UP, GIMME THAT COWBOY CAT MUG RIGHT FUCKING NOW, I BOW TO YOUR QUIRKINESS PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY

I've seen THREE different rugs that look like tinned fish

A pair of pillows shaped like a shrimp and crab

A dinosaur mug that seems functionally unusable but still so cool

A "trinket tray" of a peacock that feels like they got it from my grandma's house

It's like a fuckin flea market exploded

Ok I gotta ask if Cost Plus World Market feels incredibly dangerous to anyone else

I loved the random shit I could get there when I was a teen and folks, it's gotten EVEN MORE INSANE

Instagram is HOT on my trail with ads of its weird shit

My name's Mike D and my temper's SHORT
If you startle me I'll make your face HORT
When I ball y'all know what they call me on the COURT:

It's like I heard MCA himself whisper that last line from the beyond

Is AI a scam? #shorts #tech #ai #scams YouTube video by Alex Falcone

I'm new to the @alexfalcone.bsky.social train, but I am delighted by his informational and also hilarious videos, such as this glittering precious gem on AI --

"Is AI a scam yep?"

If you’re a Hachette author you should be talking to your editors and teams about this. If they’re using AI to counter AI, it’s still AI. And it may also be giving your work to the machine, serving it up on a contractual platter.

The Quiet Things on Steam Step into a fractured 00s childhood in the South of England. Inspired by the developer’s real diaries, this autobiographical narrative adventure invites you to uncover Alice’s story by piecing togethe...

Support the devs and wishlist The Quiet Things

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

(I think it is also likely that some mofos are cheap and want 3, 3, 3 jobs in 1!
Or they ask for just standard X role but they really want Lead X role)

POST YOUR BEST EXAMPLE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRITING AND NARRATIVE IN GAMES USING A NON-GAMES REFERENCE

WRITING: that "Greatest Country in the World" speech from Newsroom

NARRATIVE: that part in S1 of The Wire where they're looking for evidence & just say variations of "fuck"

Ankylosaurs 4 lyfe yo

LA! These kitties’ human passed away, and they need a new home! Please help them find one! Spread the word!

It changes perception because it's real! I've always appreciated devs who go the extra mile for producing handwritten notes and textures in real life to put them in video games (Alan Wake 2 is a very unique prime example, Re Engine Resident Evil titles, Eriksholm, and TLOU series also come to mind)

I tried to reassure him yes I am reading news and I subscribe to The Guardian but he still seemed perturbed and I'm like BUT WHY THO, it and the WAPost have become the tools of billionaires

My dad - who is "old school Democrat" and believes in the strengths of journalism etc - was shocked when I said I don't read the NY Times anymore and even tried to argue for it. Not with specifics but the PRINCIPLE of journalism. I love him dearly but the systems he believes in are LONG dead :(

Wiseman's daughters and family were reportedly in the Mission Control gallery during the flyby, NASA said."

"They kept going because they were holding on to something. That there's some good in t̷h̷i̷s̷ ̷w̷o̷r̷l̷d̷ *these worlds, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

Every Castlevania game is about going into a room and there’s just some asshole.

Oh dang, cover pages! Hella stylin!

A real itty bitty cutie patootie of a cucumber called "Quick Snack" whose seeds you can get from Epic Gardening (via Botanical Interests)

Btw this is the plant
And no it's off center as a stylistic choice and not because my goddamn phone keeps popping up the volume thing when I try to that a screenshot
(And if you thought that's messy you should see the length of the link, oof) It's from Epic Gardening & is called "Quick Snack" GET IT

Little joy of the day yesterday was finding out a maybe month old plant actually had eensy little cucumbers and they were DELICIOUS

New problem: how to put these cuke machines all over the house for permanent cronchy snackies

Check it out - John Scalzi keeps getting cooler, this is an awesome idea
We need more lots full of flowers :)

Get some perennials in there too maybe? I dunno what the zone is, I'm 8b, does forsythia work or lilacs or are those bad because they're not native? What are good early pollinators in that area? TO THE INTERNET! /runs off to acquire knowledge for plant nerd funsies

My initial reaction to the"bought enough seed" oh boo grass seed that is a bummer, John Scalzi isn't as cool as I thought he -
(Reads more)

I was right because he's EVEN COOLER OMG THAT RULES
Holy shit that's so cool, heck yeah sir
