Deirdre is cooler and better than David Foster Wallace x1 billion, thank you for sharing this and for your earlier piece

It’s the 9 year anniversary of an essay I wrote that made a lot of people mad online. I wrote some thoughts about it. open.substack.com/pub/deirdrek...

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

"We care about money!" is the most honest anyone has ever been on that stage

South of Midnight is so good give it more awards

"The writer is as old as the philosopher and therefore not 'new world' and in this new world of endless scrolling, conspiracy theories, and drooling remakes of franchise flicks, the act of 'thinking' or 'conjuring' is old world magic." open.substack.com/pub/zonamote...

I am mildly bemused by the number of people convinced that NYC is a crime-riddled hellscape who are now convinced that a Mamdani win means NYC will become…a crime-riddled hellscape. (Yes, yes, I know, you don’t need to explain Eco’s rules for fascism, I’m just noting it.)

Had a lovely talk with @rodkam.bsky.social for @publisherswkly.bsky.social about his latest, SEEING INTO THE LIFE OF THINGS. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

"There’s more value in figuring out what, consciously or not, a game says about the time period it’s set within—and what that might mean for how we imagine our present-day reality." @reidmccarter.bsky.social kotaku.com/ghost-yotei-...

"[E]ven if Mildred isn’t a witch, she is wise." @deirdrekoala.bsky.social digs into the historical context behind the witch hunt of Mildred Walker from The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow:

sometimes I feel nostalgic for the brief time when I was "good at the internet" and then remember that I'm actually nostalgic for being alive pre-2016

Same and there is no end to my disgust First of all it is patently evil to refer to people as infectious diseaselike aliens Secondly from a lore point the UNSC/Covenant *are the invaders.* They're the ones that showed up to a place they didn't belong and did some shit they weren't supposed to

in honor of Outer Worlds 2, I present my second-ever Bluesky post

I genuinely don't understand how people have time to. do things?

People who really care about videogames, value people working in the industry, and want a future where people get to have the enjoyment they had, should be looking for full on reform. We shouldn't ask to trade the MBA robber barons for the fun robber barons we grew up with.

love a gaming website with opening lines like "The American Right, a squirming bundle of grievances held together by supposed reverence for free speech" @aftermath.site @nathangrayson.bsky.social aftermath.site/charlie-kirk...
