RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

My take on John Szczpaniak is that someone always has to fill the role of Japanese Industry Provocateur and Nick Des Barres is in jail

Diana finds a cartridge #Pragmata

Largely unrelated to his current treatler outburst, I fondly remember J.S' interview with Ryukishi07, where he awkwardly segues into asking a lengthy plot question about Umineko, to which R07's business agent responds by politely interrogating him on who the hell this book is even meant for

Every single person in the games preservation / historian spaces has their own Szczepaniak horror story. Mine is that he postured like he was going to sue us for lightly making fun of him while talking about his Untold Histories books -- repeatedly bragging "I went to court and I won, THREE TIMES!"

Splatoon Raiders? inkslop

Something I've really come to appreciate in the last few years is how important it is to have a community of peers who lift each other up and give each other feedback

Part of that is also, bluntly, understanding who is not a peer, and who you don't have to listen to or take seriously

Yukihiro Takahashi in 1986

we all know I have no life, so:

One of the most underrated arcade games IMO

pete hegseth is so bad at his job that we're like one tick away from the gray zone being like "actually, pete hegseth is good, because he effectively stands against american imperialism"

Vampire Crawlers releasing on April 22nd for the AYN Thor yeah that’s right

VC on Thor using Game Native default settings

Vampire Crawlers? On MY AYN Thor? It’s more likely than you think.

** 2006-10-31: The default prefix used to be "sqlite_". But then ** Mcafee started using SQLite in their anti-virus product and it ** started putting files with the "sqlite" name in the c:/temp folder. ** This annoyed many windows users. Those users would then do a ** Google search for "sqlite", find the telephone numbers of the ** developers and call to wake them up at night and complain. ** For this reason, the default name prefix is changed to be "sqlite" ** spelled backwards. So the temp files are still identified, but ** anybody smart enough to figure out the code is also likely smart ** enough to know that calling the developer will not help get rid ** of the file. */ #ifndef SQLITE_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX # define SQLITE_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX "etilqs_" #endif

Here is an insane piece of lore inside SQLite's source code

I am researching VACUUM and I was studying their code. In VACUUM, SQLite creates a temp file prefixed with `etilqs_`

Here is why:

Government FLOPS

The invisible hand of the free market has decided the best use of Nvidia’s resources is to manufacture GPUs that sit in warehouses, not selling them to consumers

it's NOT free real estate

some of y'all need the boom anime babes that make you think the RIGHT thing

I use complicated regex to mute all Umamusume EXCEPT for Vodka and Gold Ship

Fate Stay/Night more like Fate Go/Away

a man with long hair and a beard looks angry ALT: a man with long hair and a beard looks angry

boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing > boom anime babes that make me think

fortunately they are just hot anime babes of the kind you could find in a spicy Switch game and not, say, [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED] which some of my OTHER mutuals are into, God rest their souls

I have one mutual (who I love, and may see this!!) but he's always sharing artwork of hot anime babes, and while I love hot anime babes I don't want to be jumpscared by them at work yk

Victoria, I appreciate this, but I’m in management. Could you add a section on how I can dismiss the conclusions of the report and continue to develop the game based on personal vibes.

Occasionally need to repost this Astro Boy panel where Dr. Ochanomizu's butt looks like the Bernie Sanders logo.

Look, I’m all for dunking on gamers, but this isn’t “gamers,” this is John Szczepaniak
