This seems like an incredibly reckless thing to do. Micron is going to be punished hard when the bottom falls out. www.theregister.com/systems/2026...

Cannot wait for the European Union to discover the many talents that this country has born. Finally, the diversity of music brought to us by Nickleback, Theory of a Deadman, and Default will shine Watch out Europe, Canada is here to make Eurovision worth watching again www.cp24.com/news/enterta...

reminded of this bit at the 4 minute mark:

> me to every nerdcore fan who told me (and probably all of their other favs in the scene) "I don't like rap, but I like you":

I really hate that this is becoming increasingly evergreen.

hard to think of another big studio whose workers have been as consistently fucked over as bungie. absolutely criminal treatment of some of the most talented developers in the industry.

LMAO OWNED

Not low enough yet.

yes let’s blame the AI pushers but the parts manufacturers taking this opportunity to ~test price elasticity~ should also have their lives ruined at every possible moment

I adore Witch Hat Atelier. The anime has adapted the manga so beautifully. It's reignited a love for not only creating art but studying it and its history, so I was so happy when @crunchyroll.com reached out to partner on a commission. Please watch WHA! #crunchyrollpartner #witchhatatelier

Tesla Launches New Model Of Explosions

Goddamn it, I can't even escape from AI when I read manga!

a big one for my demographic slate.com/culture/2026...

Wish there was a way to make this embed work here on atProto the way it did on cohost. I should learn more about embed formats for the protocol. It'd be fun to have this pinned again.

classic @mc.frontalot.com logo lookin' buildings and trees:

As @animeigo.com reminded me with today's installment of the Anime Business interview series, the NYT, front to back, does not care about art: they care about commerce. When new art (manga) interrupted their commerce (publisher relationships,) they booted new art out of the main NYT bestseller list.

What Gabe’s meeting about the Steam Machine prices looked like

Doctor Who is just the UK's batman

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords starting to look like a viable basis for system of government

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable. aftermath.site/steam-machin...

I do love how even the companies who thought this was gonna go down that way have been like "wait, no, this isn't working that way at all, even for us!":

maybe if i pull myself up by my bootstraps, open an etsy store, and sell enough 3D-printed steam machine face plates to people who can already buy one, i'll be able to afford a machine of my own before the price goes up to $2000

if you're a pessimist with $1,200 laying around and you want a gaming machine that'll probably last you a good while, locking in a steam machine now is still probably not a terrible bet if you're an optimist who thinks this state of affairs can't last, might i suggest doing [REDACTED] on [REDACTED]

TBH, even the A Pillars on a lot of sedans have become massive & while the roll over protection is welcome, that regulation really should've come with pillar width limits to force the auto companies to do more clever engineering & metallurgy to achieve that strength without hosing the field of view.

these prices tell me the steam machine absolutely would have been set at something at least semi-affordable if AI wasn't fucking up absolutely everything. cool cool cool

role play club is back on

So I bought Reason 14, in part because of all of the sales driven by @beatskelton.bsky.social's complete discography review thread. To christen it, here's a quick and dirty cover of the core loop from DJ Shadow's "Midnight in a Perfect World" as that's been a comfortable listen for me lately.

Michaels decently current on the trends.

Deer family back again.

"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything

#OnePerfectShot Needy Girl Overdose Episode 11: Canon a 3 Violinis con Basso c. / Gigue Scenario: Nyalra Director: Masaoki Nakashima

Needy Girl Overdose 12 implies Tyler the Creator's cyberbullying tweet, evokes Madhouse's anime original ending of Gunslinger Girl & also End of Eva with an "Ode to Joy" needle drop, then visually quotes Eva, Haibane, Densha Otoko, Terminator 2, Pharrell/Tyler The Creator & more in rapid succession.

Later:

When you joke about the "old mummies" at your gramps' rural shrine, laughing it off until you're like "wait, crap, the ancient seal that I broke":

Just starting into episode 11 of Botan Kamiina, and right from the jump, watercolors and wavy line work. This show loves to use the whole medium to communicate emotion, not just stick to the fundamentals blindly, and it's so much more expressive for that decision.

If you see this, drop a blue-haired character.

They will not censor us….. they will not silence us…. New Stellar Blade SEQUEL is coming out.. sorry haters :) Wait… why does it look like that Does this look weird to anyone else youtu.be/bnTnFpOTPIM?...
