Local co-op is the best thing about videogames. It used to be easy. Now, it's easier to play with a stranger on the other side of the world than the person sitting next to you. How sad.

"Tolkien's Ring" by big fan/scholar David Day goes over world mythology that inspired JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Says Dark Lord Sauron with his Ring of Power is an echo of ring wielding Tibetan, Mongolian, Chinese hero-kings that influenced the Finnish Kalevala that teen Tolkien loved!

"Tell Jabba I'll get him his money..."

There’s a video for Midjourney Medical! 🤡 The hubris is off the charts. Step 1. Make a image-recycling bot. Step 2. Charge users to access it via Discord. Step 3. Do MEDICINE. cdn.midjourney.com/static/medic...

Hilarious pivot from Midjourney.

Reminder that Widow’s Bay creator Katie Dippold is behind one of the greatest Halloween tweets of all time:
