My favorite part of Pragmata is when Diana hits a data drive like she's looking for the last bit of nicotine out of a Juul pod
A "favorite games" fill-in-the-grid thingie. Best Retro Game is Panel de Pon, because Tetris Attack wasn't available for some reason. Template is here: https://grids.fun/t/about-me-video-games-dcefq
This has been going around in some discords so I made one
So like we would know if time was actually accelerating, right? Scientists would have figured it out? And told us?
they've driven me insane #autofister
Need a good Eater article or something that lists best places to eat along the 2 Line for culture-starved East Siders like me

the ending to "Cruis'n World" is fucking insane

I had to take my mother to the hospital for a quick procedure and then drive her home cause she was all zonked out on meds.
As we’re leaving she says “is that one of those little robots?”
The nurse and I look at each other.
“He’s so cute”
Then I see what she’s pointing at.
only to realize the misogny was calling from inside the house. So I was delighted to read your words on how AI inflicted this weird double-back on that character. And got so much more! (2/2)
I see. Well for my part, I think about that old piece a lot, reflecting on who gets treated seriously and why. It’s a great gutcheck! It was so easy to look at Grace’s reveal and think “Wow that’s no Jill Valentine! Good on you Capcom” (1/2)
and what it really reveals is that the artificial gendering of agender traits has finally reached a peak stress point, where we are culturally being yanked into completely unattainable, unachievable binary sex stereotypes, a performance, literally what drag seeks to comment on and satirize
but we've reached the breaking point, the singularity of others' shame projected onto us collectively, and it's that fictional characters of all walks should be ashamed of having a normal fucking face. this is new, that you can't be a hero or heroine without mew-jaw or lip filler
so with a certain physique you're excluded from a hero/heroine narrative, an agency narrative, maybe even a victim narrative (victims are tiny, not towering). what's left are "slut" and "funny?" and "really mad and annoying." I lost my mind learning it's Greek myth canon that Artemis is bodacious
😮 Like in a general “I hate reading my old writing” way, or “I don’t agree with that sentiment at ALL anymore” way? I assume the sentiment is still there, if perhaps modified, with how you responded to Will.
These are unprecedented times. And as such, I agree 100% with these Yankee fans.
Awesome to see you link the Tits or GTFO piece. One of my alltime fave pieces of games writing and I've wondered if it was still something you resonated with all these years later
once you learn how much training data images of women come from porn, it illuminates so much. this is more than bad to look at, it's the rot of misogyny in full display.

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then
Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms
it’s literally wasting all that pathtracing work by inventing light sources that aren’t even in the scene 😭
If I had any principles instead of a crippling addiction to video games I'd be ripping my nvidia card out of my computer and throwing it onto the street
