Just throwing away decades of brand equity to hype the worst major AI platform on the market.

I think we're seeing the beginning of a dangerous precedent here: if an AI does it, it's nobody's fault. Which is a convenient stance when so many people in the media and the tech industry are increasingly relying on AI to do their work for them.

You'd think if, in the span of a year, an AI declared itself MechaHitler and then, a few months later, became the internet's most prolific generator of CSAM, maybe the media would take a more active interest in reporting on it.

As the co-author of a peer-reviewed article titled "Dudes, Boobs, and GameCubes," I don't want to weigh in on today's discourse.

Joke's on you, immune system; I happen to LIKE being sick all the time.

it’s going to be weird going back to work and people talking like everything is normal. like in a final fantasy game when someone’s summoned a meteor from hell to destroy the planet and the villagers still only talk about the big chocobo pageant coming up

Could a depressed person do THIS? *collapses*

Well, I have hit the wall. I do not want to be a “political communication” scholar anymore.

Some poor future Democratic president is going to have their entire administration thrown into crisis when its withdrawal from Venezuela doesn't go exactly as planned.

When I was at Virginia Tech (1991-2001), all campus computers had Zip drives, and all students were issued Zip disks with the Eudora email client pre-installed.

Folks, Mearsheimer is arguably the most influential living scholar of international relations, and this quote is further evidence that my discipline doesn't know shit about shit.

I'm watching the final season of Stranger Things, and with Max hospitalized and in a coma for 18 months, I bet she was really Running Up That Bill.

I can think of 535 people off the top of my head who I wish were being a little more vocal this morning about our attack on Venezuela.

Can confirm. I might even have some of that set still at my mom's house. Not sure how I ended up with it.

The Rosetta Stone to understanding my entire adult personality is the fact that I was an only child who owned a Lazer Tag set for four.

Hi new followers! If you don't already know I have a new game coming out on January 22nd! It's a narrative adventure set in the year 2003 where you are a young writer trying to make sense of the world: store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

What if we all went back to making jokes about hats in Team Fortress 2 this year?

Grok's new "feature" that allows users to undress women in photos posted to X is a new low for the platform. If you're somehow still active over there, I urge you to let this be your final straw.

It's a new year: there's never been a better time to drop a bad habit.

Remember, anything can happen in 2026.

I once attended a will․i․am New Year's Eve performance in Vegas. He played a bunch of Black Eyed Peas songs from his iPod while occasionally adlibbing "yeah" on the mic. He missed midnight because he was in the middle of a song and then tried to convince the crowd to do a countdown at like 12:02.

Babe wake up, a new ‘glass half full/empty’ test just dropped.

One of my favorite things that happened at work this year was when one of my colleagues baselessly accused another of creating a bunch of imaginary AI students to boost enrollment in our online Master's program.

Happy New Year Quest Quest - my main source of sandwich-related news.

To everyone enjoying Blippo+ It makes me happy to see your reactions. I’ve been developing this style of imagery + camp performance since the beginning of Telefantasy Studios. From public access to video games- it’s reassuring to see it resonate. Thank you ! www.instagram.com/p/DS0paXmks_...

I think what really sunk John Cena's farewell tour was when he started using "eat my jorts" as his new catchphrase.

A new episode of Quest Quest: The Adventure Game Podcast has arrived! This week @bvigeant.bsky.social and I are sharing our New Year's resolutions. One of mine? Finally get around to playing more Infocom games next year... Listen here (or wherever you listen to podcasts): zencastr.com/z/a2e5R0uW

​Me whispering to my wife anytime a character casually mentions Gotham City in a Superman movie: "That's where Batman lives."

I'm watching the final season of Stranger Things, and ​I appreciate how Vecna keeps saying, "It's me, Vecna, the bad guy from Stranger Things," just in case I'm in the next room washing dishes.

My New Year's resolution is to get drop-down guns installed in my chest cavity and thighs like Rio Blast from He-Man.

Yeah, I barely slept last night, but the joke's on you: I happen to enjoy feeling like shit.

Jones in the Fast Lane (1991)

Fact check: False. The average lifespan of a reindeer is 15 years. Santa's reindeer have been dead for centuries.

When hi-res EGA and MT-32 music combine into a dazzling wireframe display of shmup futurism and aural magic. 📺: Silpheed, Game Arts Co Ltd & Sierra On-Line, 1989 (DOS) (Original game: 1986)
