I’ve been dwelling on this for a couple of minutes now, and I think, if @theonion.com can do market manipulation at will… we might not be as bad off as I thought.

The 'I mean, it's not even off the table in reality' comment is truly a testimony to the times we live in. Also congrats to @theonion.com on becoming one of the most high-impact news organizations in America.

This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up

Proud of you @devolverdigital.com

I don’t know about you but I’m fairly tired of everything in this country being a mob boss pressure tactic

Oh no

This post was of course brought to you by my own filthy real life glasses

I figured this must exist, happy that it does.

It wasn’t up to me, but Alzo was my top pick too.

Is there a game where keeping the character’s glasses or visor clean is part of the play?

This is an insane solution. And needs to happen immediately. VA legislature should retire the whole state Supreme Court and appoint a new set of judges who will uphold the vote of the people.

Congrats to @theonion.com, now do whitehouse dot gov next.

Oh thank goodness, I’ve been needing one of these

See, this is the problem.

20-year-old me would not have believed it if you told me I’d be getting coupons in the mail as advertising for the grand opening of a cannabis store

I see your and raise it: cemetery. - hello, what are you doing here? - (raises urn) my father. - my mother. (Raising urn too) Happened in my family.

Bless @theonion.com, still keeping me sane.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

I think a 20 minute session of doing an expressionist painting of Bert was the break down I needed to have today.

Just a friendly Thursday reminder to NOT SUPPORT bigoted right wing grifters like this guy. Folks like this will poison your hobby if you allow them to continue to operate without any pushback. Unsubscribe, block and warn the people they're attempting to work with. Show them they're not welcome.

Yep. Mimicry is an important skill for writers in my business, and it's fun, it's like acting for writers. And you can't leave it to AI - if you're telling a story in someone else's IP, you've got to get yourself into the mindset in order to do anything new. It goes far beyond the feel of the text.

Still a relevant question:

I'll be joining #NoKings tomorrow of course! But if you live in my city, you might have seen me already. I've been turning up by myself at the park downtown for a little while each day, standing where cars can see me, holding a sign that simply says, "ENOUGH". I recommend this.

As always, I’m baffled as to why realism is ever the goal in the first place. (Far better to try to get reality to resemble art than the other way around.)

Can confirm, Jess has a great pokerface and will absolutely muscle you off the table if she can.

Foolish Mortals - my favourite game of last year - is a lovely testament to hardwork and effort to all involved. This thread explains in detail how the game has no AI after a review falsely claimed it has.

I have seen this and it’s very fun!

More and more I realize that good adventure game design just boils down to communication and clarity.

Going through cupboards and unearthed this bottle of Coke that I was saving to drink later after they announced they were changing the taste…in 1985.

Hooray for BC! And yes, the proposed 30 minute change in my own country is just more evidence that the current regime can find a way to ruin absolutely anything.

Remembering this lovely Return to #MonkeyIsland Review | @thexboxhub.bsky.social #xbox #xboxseriesx buff.ly/3TLERMA "Return to Monkey Island feels every bit the continuation of the series. This... is constructed with a stupendous amount of love for the characters and series." #indiegames #gamedev

I'm not a console gamer any more since they stopped making Uncharted games... but it is pretty cool to see my game natively running on Nintendo hardware. ☺️

Movie night this week: The Family Fang. It’s marvelous, how did I manage not to have heard of it before?! I guess it did come out when I had a very small child capturing all of my attention. (Conveniently streaming for you on Prime at the moment.)

Hi friends, As many of you know, ICE is operating in ways that tear families apart, enter homes without warrants, and traumatize innocent people. This is not law enforcement — this is terror and an abuse of power.

Failed to procrastinate this morning, sorry to let everyone down

Has anyone trained an "AI" solely on the ravings of Donald Trump yet? There's plenty of material. I feel like that would be amusing.

It's even been called the Citizen Kane of poker games.
