This morning I just wanted to sit and write comedy stuff. Later, I just wanted to watch cool sounding stuff. Now all I want to do is sit with two ice packs in my bra, and play Destiny 2. All three times though, I instead found and find myself at The Day Job.

MPSE cutting ties w Krotos re: their AI gen thing 👌. Krotos trying a "the true value of sound designers is their creativity so this won't hurt jobs" spin is gross.

it's very funny to think that even IF the hype around AI making games faster and cheaper to make was true (it isn't), it would enable a world where you can slop out a ton of games quickly for hardware that everyone has been priced out of entirely

🌌 Astronomers using NASA’s Webb telescope estimate that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS could have formed 10 to 12 billion years ago! Born during the universe's “cosmic noon,” it might be the oldest comet ever discovered. ☄️ #JWST #SpaceNews #Astronomy 1/4

Suraj has a point.

Remember your ham radio training—use only the power you need to make the contact. That applies to ARISS operations with the ISS too. So, 5 watts with a directional antenna is typically all you need. So dial it back, skip the amp, and enjoy the experience!

This is your sign to try the craft beer with the weirdly wonderful can design. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!😋 Damn, BC has some yummy craftiness!

Destiny folks, I have a silly question - at some point, does someone explain how the Traveller healed the gaping, radiation spewing hole in its side, before popping down for tea? I’m struggling to find time to play more than a bit here & there, and not knowing this is frustrating AF.

I think my favorite part of the World Cup has been the nations who sing in the stands. That many voices, all directed towards the pitch - chills! Yes, the cheering is incredible. But the singing is so powerful.

Stop doomscrolling, and learn what happens to Tamagotchi poop. Just do it, you over-stressed cucumber. 💩 youtu.be/h2U6OdwM03Q?...

IF YOU SEE THIS CLOSE THE TAB IMMEDIATELY this is a trick to install malware on your machine. it is not a real captcha system.

Langoliers-ass drone sound billionaires giving commencement speeches and city councils accepting barely concealed bribes from out of town ultra rich folks ruining communities a thousand miles from where they live:

I've been spending a few years working on a machine that translates whale song, and you're not going to believe this, but they just keep saying "right about now, the Funk Soul Blubber" over and over again.

Listening to the Star Wars: Maul ep of the Dolby Creator Talks podcast (great ep, going to have to listen to it twice to absorb ALLTHE STUFF)… Which got me thinking about Vader… Which got me thinking about force choking… Which in turn got me wondering what an actual larynx and trachea crush…

Why does it bother me when a manager or the CEO of my employer boasts about using Copilot to write their emails? This. This is why

The way I’m going, I’m gonna need a ‘My Tamagotchi says ‘hi!’’ bumper sticker.

I need the screaming drummer, who keeps being louder than the commentators at the Vancouver Rise game, to make peace with the fact that Swanguard is not a full stadium, there are not FIFA levels of fans filling in noise around them, so their scream-drumming comes across as obnoxious AF, esp on TV.

Had a heck of a day at the day job, and on the way out to coffee break I was in a passage by myself, so I just softened my gaze a bit, and listened as though I was playing a first person game. Does that make sense? Anyway, I listened to my footfalls, heel toe, the reverb of boot on tile. Then…

Look, I still haven’t had the opportunity to learn the guts of how dialogue & sound are integrated into games, so I’m still starry eyed & lack cynicism. So I’m going to say, again - holy sh*t game audio rocks. What do you mean all this triggers based on where I move & what I do?? BEHOLD, MORTALS!

Destiny friends - did we ever get any lore around how Amanda lost her leg? I was just thinking today, seeing that cinematic with Zavala and young Amanda, that when whatever happened that caused the injury, Zavala must have been so affected. Probably even brought back some memories around Hakim.

If you use Deep Stone Lullaby in the background of your ‘Awww, we’re all feewing so sad - buy my Destiny merch!’ post, not only am I NOT going to buy your merch, I’m probably going to mute you. And if your post is esp. tacky, I’ll just go straight to block. (Yes I’ve seen this w/multiple folks now.)

I’ve good naturedly teased TeaDad in the past for putting 1 of 2 car building/refurbishing shows on repeat when he needs something chill on in the background. But it turns out it might be genetic, since I now have 2 go-to YT tamagotchi review/collector channels that I like to rotate in the bkgrnd.🤣

I’m going to be very quiet about Destiny for a little while. I know I’m not the only fan having complex feelings about everything (I can only imagine what the devs are going though. I’m so sorry you all have to deal w/this 🐂💩), but I can’t even bring myself to listen to the VAs’ goodbye messages.

No, no, of course your child can still talk to the machine that tells you to kill yourself

They're gonna try their hardest to normalize this. And I can get why; video game consumers yelled and complained about phone-home DRM, day-one DLC, a lot of consumer-hostile shit. But in the end, they bought the games anyway and eventually just got used to it. Frog-boiling works.

Here's a look ahead at some ARISS activities over the next 10 days. We start the week off with STEM contacts in Europe and Australia!

I don’t know how folks willingly choose to let their older Paradise tamas die to get a ‘happy star’. I forgot to check on my little blue salamander guy, and he’d dropped to zero hunger hearts, and was sitting in the middle of the field crying. THE EXCRUCIATING NEGLECT GUILT.

Listen. I’m tired. So if you’re a writer and I see you posting an Ai book cover/art that’s just — at best — an instant mute, if not a block. If you’re not supporting other creative industries you don’t deserve my support. And if you support Ai in art, I assume you didn’t write your book/comic/etc.

Tamagotchi pride parade 🏳️‍🌈

Sound on for adorable baby howls! The seven-week-old Red Wolf pups are starting to find their voices. The critically endangered American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates.

This is important.

Someone casually mentioned to me that the new Wolverine features a cut scene in North Vancouver, and I’m like, how did you even notice that??

Canadian Gov to everyone who has had, & continues to have their hard work illegally scraped to create for profit programs that threaten to obliterate jobs in multiple industries, engineering a forced need for data centers that will never be built in leaders’ neighborhoods - LOL! Sucks to be you.🇨🇦

I’m begging podcasters to learn some Rx and PLEASE clip out the lip smacking and other unconsciously repeated mouth noises your guests make. Just turned off a 1hr podcast less than 10min in bcs the guest kept doing a loud ‘nt-ah!’ tongue click at the start of EVERY SENTENCE. Just, NO DAMMIT, NO.

For anyone wondering, this is a little can of sweet milky coffee heaven. 🥰

Water Llamma taking a guilt ridden page out of Duolingo’s book. This just makes me want to drink coffee and energy drinks, out of spite.

Good Tuesday morning/afternoon/between designated time spaces, all! Quick question - are virtual pets considered video games (and if not, what type of game are they)?

Well 🦋 went ahead and deleted two rage posts I was working on when I clicked away to take a breather, and honestly, that was probably a good thing. Side note: voice actors don’t get to bitch abt the affect of GenA/i on their jobs, while posting Insta vids extolling the spiritual side of chatbots.

Happy pride month! ✨🌈 [ #cuteart #artshop ]

Today marks the first day of Pride Month! During a debate in the House of Commons during Pride Month last year, Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant made a powerful speech about the importance of Pride Month.

Not just this month, but every single day of the year 🏳️‍🌈 #pride #happypride

Is it a generational thing that pixel art feels like it has a particular type of future-retro whimsy, or is it just me?
