Saw a thing about people's favorite fast food and one of the answers was "hot dogs" who the fuck is going out to eat and eating hot dogs---oh wait this is a "Big City" thing isn't it...forgot that hot dog food trucks are a thing.

I don't believe in "best" but I can tell you the finale I will remember until my dying moment is the old ABC "kids" sitcom Dinosaurs. If you have never seen it, you should prepare yourselves for the last 3-5 minutes or so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9b9...

I think they know something and are refusing to tell me

In short, every shithead you don't ban costs you ten other customers. "A [potentially regular] customer doesn't say anything but never comes back" doesn't register with you as An Event the way that kicking someone out (temporarily or permanently) does, so it's extremely easy to miss it.

I'm trying to figure out what game I want to play after Octopath 0...I've picked up and bounced on Chrono Trigger, Octopath 1, World of Final Fantasy, and Little Rocket Lab...

This is like 75% "why?", 25% "terrible headline obscures viable and worthwhile use case for the technology in question" The accessibility/usability version discussed here intrigues me, but it's not without problems of its own (how do you train that model, for example)

Someone asked me to comment on the anniversary of Jan 6. I will consider having comments on it….should it ever end. We are very much still reaching for the nadir of this reclamation. No time yet for historicizing it. Still trying to survive it.

So ECT doctor moving fast. As long as insurance doesn’t fuck it up, I should be starting Friday? Yay three times a week anesthesia? It is basically controlled seizures while under general anesthesia as a treatment for Treatment Resistant Depression.

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

A long-awaited video game became far less appealing the moment it had entered a local man’s Steam library during the Winter Sale. paletteswap.site/dif...

And yes, I unironically adore the two Maleficent movies despite them being cheesy fantasy schlock. They just have so much STYLE that I can forgive any cheesiness. Let movies "serve C-slur" as some might say. (still don't feel comfortable using that word even in this context)

When fantasy movies have their royalty decked out in cheap-looking costume jewelry I cringe so hard. Y'all spent millions on this and you couldn't avoid plastic pearls and glass gems?

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Got both endings of Octopath 0 and it was pretty great. It's LOOONG. But damn if that 2nd ending boss wasn't a surprise and blast to play. 10/10 if you like Anime Nonsense RPGs I highly recommend it, even if it's 100+ hours...

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

Octopath 0 doesn't show signs that it was a live-service mobile app before being reborn into a Proper Title often, then I fight my 12th "Final Boss" in the 100+ hours I've played so far. 😂

Me: I woke up at 8am this morning, maybe I can finally fix my schedule and go to sleep at midnight! My Stomach and Brain:

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

I'm glad I've picked back up crocheting, but it has started making my hands numb from bending my neck down even slightly for a while...don't rupture a neck spinal disc, y'all.

Thoughts sparked by rewatching Matilda the Musical(2022) which if you haven't seen yet, you should. The 90s movie and the book were some of my favorites growing up as a strange, smart, and misunderstood child. My parents were not anywhere near the Wormwoods, but the idea that I could become more...

So while I often joke about hating kids, I want to be perfectly clear that I don't actually hate children. Most of them are better than most adults. That "joke" was born out of the annoyance of being asked constantly "when" I'd have kids. Not "if". And I was AMAB so I know I got it a lot less.

New Year, new levels of exhaustion.

It was an advanced debate class and one of the feedback I got from someone was they hated going against me because I was too confident/prepared? Sorry? You are in Mask Wearing Class with someone who has had to mask their entire life, get on my level scrub, I guess?

Finally watched Looper 13 years late but hot take: it good. also why did everyone say it was confusing? The time travel part was pretty straight forward? Guess he didn't like put timestamps on scenes or something huge, but it was obvious to me?

The source for this meme is stored in documents/memes, on my own computer, I don't even need the internet to access it, revolutionary stuff

Share your couples art! They weren't a couple in the conventional sense, but they did constantly argue like an old married couple, sooooo... Aera: @kaleri.bsky.social Garmund: me

So we all know about the "Weirdly great song for the GBA version of Robocop." but TIL that the SNES Flintstones movie tie-in game had a totally banger that you could only access from a menu? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRF_...

Folks I actually cheered a little

Freelance wizard killing not!demons and saying fuck you to the establishment that is built on the suffering of the Have Nots. I’m here for that. (Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik)

Maybe, if you're not actually in university classrooms, teaching students in the age of gAI, perhaps you might want to stop and listen when people actually in those classrooms raise concerns about what they are seeing; and not just dismiss us as luddites, or boomers, or cruel profs playing cops

The question rests on what people think education is for. If you think education is about earning certificates then genAI is a great "solution". If you think education is about teaching another mind how to do/understand something then genAI is an anathema to the process.

Link this to everyone who talks about how "AI is inevitable." Especially if they're in publishing.

I did an art of my D&D character, Aesir Reign, a phoenix sorcerer.

Even setting aside the weird tie-in, Mario Bros(1993) fails a bit at just being a weird SciFi movie because, ironically, unwillingness to commit to the bit...the extras just looking like normal humans does the premise of Dino!AU a disservice, to be honest. Some get facial prosthetic, but not enough.

Decided to watch just the holiday episodes of Community and while the claymation episode is great, the Glee-parody one is specifically targeting my type of humor. Plus "Baby Boomer Santa" is catchy.

Unintentionally watched the Blinken episode of Bob's Burgers and honestly, top 10 Christmas episodes of any TV show.

Technically ALL my clothes are Gay Apparel falalalala

And due to Christmas magic, Tiny Tim did not die. Ever. He still lives to this day, wandering the earth. Looking for the being who sent the ghosts and cursed him to watch everyone he has ever loved to grow old and die.

Unless the teeth magically disappear after a certain age, Teatime's plan to kill the Hogfather should have let him control EVERYONE not just children, right? Because adult's teeth from when they were a kid would still be there?

Like the other two movies, "Wake Up Dead Man" was a VERY different movie from "Knives Out" and "Glass Onion." It really goes to show how versatile the "mystery" genre really is!

Watching "Wake Up Dead Man" and MAN these movies just let actors really act their brains out. Glenn Close is obviously having a fucken blast.

Family drama, comedy, turn-based fantastical battles with your exes, skating, and cooking tasty dishes! Thirsty Suitors is 50% off on Steam. Here’s an overview. If you played it, please leave a review! store.steampowered.com/app/1617220/...

Rewatched Knives Out and Glass Onion in prep for the new one and FUUUCK these movies are sooo good. Both VERY different in the most wonderful way. I hate the idea of Auteur Film like there is a ton of people who made these movies great, but anything Rian Johnson directs is a must-see for me.

Find The Ferret

Rewatching Knives Out and I just want to live in that weird-ass house full of curiosities. But I've wanted to live in the Addams house since I was a child, so it's very on-brand.

Watching Santa Clause(1994) for the first time in forever, loved it as a kid. I was fine until he tried to reintegrate with The Business World and the 2nd hand embarrassment/fatphobia is killing me.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

This is honestly the best description of C-suiters at the best if times, but especially when it is about clankers.
