gotta be honest, dawg: if I promised to do something for you before last Wednesday I'm really gonna need you to remind me

A: Hey, does anyone know the answer to this thing? B: Here's an essay that ChatGPT made about it! A: Okay. Does anyone who isn't a moron have an answer?

[Dentist #10 of 10, clutching a giant sack with dollar signs on it] - I must respectfully disagree with my colleagues regarding this toothpaste,

One of my favourite recent shots. #Tanks #tanksim #gunnerheatpc

One of my favorite books ever, highly recommended!

Reposting something I wrote on reddit 4 years ago before abandoning the website, because damn I was cooking

You’re right—swallowing the bird was a half-measure. The bird did eat the spider, as planned, but now you have a bird in you. It reminds you of swallowing the spider to catch the fly. You’re seeing the pattern. Would you like me to suggest some animals which could eat the bird?

Maybe *this* will be the bsky app update that stops it disconnecting every 5 minutes for no reason, I say, a grinning moron, watching Lucy prop up the football once more

Few people have been as vindicated as Mia Wong who for literal years has ended every post with a call to destroy ICE

Great post, usable information, and a neat history lesson.

Evergreen: The first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.

Fuck ICE

A tasty example: selfie inside car while wearing sunglasses and not smiling. (You know the ones. Bonus points for MAGA hat.) That's a person who's avoided introspection so long and wallowed in bitterness so deeply that their hostile facade is the only self-image they have left.

Small blessing: on the internet there is no way to try to look badass without looking cringe instead. Roman statue pfp, "pithy" saying in bio, skull art, muscle selfie, gun, lifted truck - doesn't matter what you do, you're immediately clocked as a tryhard loser. I unironically love that for us.

Watching a streamer play a game with lore is so infuriating. Characters will be on screen dropping vital clues while the person is looking at a totally different monitor going "oh my god thank you ParaSocial69 for the 12 months resub!!" and then acting totally confused later on when plot happens.

You gotta hand it to a technology that becomes so ubiquitous and taken for granted that people mistake it for the laws of physics. Like, that’s what those weird metal triangle things above doors are.

We've sat through literal decades of fragile whiners going "bro sexism isn't a Thing anymore just shut up about feminism", and then from DAY ONE of the Grok image edit thing existing, its reply feed is just a firehose of men sexually harassing random women for sport

When the post-9/11 clownery happened, I was young and stupid and thought "surely we have solid leaders and wouldn't be The Bad Guys in something as serious as a war". I cheered the troops and believed official media statements. I'm still stupid, but I won't make those mistakes again.

JESUS CHRIST!

What is there to say?

Someone made a pretty cool video essay about GHPC! Ya don't see that every day. #ghpc

As I reflect on another year past, one strong feeling is that whimsy and silliness are worth holding onto. Yes, be responsible and grown up, take care of yourself and others - but keep that spark of spontaneous joy alive. What's the point of all this if you can't be a goofy little guy sometimes?

Mandatory ads and tracking on a TV that you pay hundreds of dollars for is so insulting. How did we let this become the new normal?

For Christmas, my girlfriend got me these big, cozy socks, with the grippy soles and the sturdy construction and the lined insides. I am absolutely thrilled to wear them. Unironically goated gift.

Happy to report I'm keeping the important skills sharp. Fiddler on the Roof came on at Christmas and I immediately said aloud "Hardly know her!"

Guy who offers supplications in the Christmas prayer that sound suspiciously like every family member's private business

My contempt for LLM writing has reached the level where if I scan someone's profile and all their posts sound like ChatGPT "it's not X, it's Y" slop I'll just block them immediately. No use for people whose communication is so vapid that they sound like a machine, whether deliberately or not.

Yeah I only use AI for the fun part right at the beginning where we're kicking ideas around and not worried about budget or expectations. Just the best part of any group creative endeavor, me and my team challenging each other with our most visionary ideas, I'm looking to automate that

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

New trailer for Gunner, HEAT, PC! Lots of progress in 2025 and plenty more to come. #ghpc

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Three years on from GHPC's release, Valve still sends us chocolates for the holidays!

Lego Ninjago to the polls

I would like to congratulate my past child self on being totally correct that I would never grow out of playing video games with my friends

I had some strong words about generative AI and its use in game development for this recent article in sim gaming blog Tally-Ho Corner. As a taste: the phrase "turtleneck dipshits" was uttered.

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

If the government won't bail out my crypto losses, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

I'm being told that, despite clear and repeated instructions, you did drop that dunta duh.

+1. Radian doesn't use LLMs or gen AI. All our work on GHPC is done by hand using our own skills and the plethora of community resources that the LLMs scraped in the first place. To hell with these tech slop grifters.

i think it's very bad that "agentic disinformation network, agentic nation-state level black hat, agentic revenge porn at scale" all occurred and were funded before "AI PowerPoint slide deck creation that actually looks nice" got solved

gf, walking into the bedroom to find me using my phone: "Sleep tighter."

Regarding tech platforms and websites, I'm at rock bottom level of fucks to give anymore. If something sucks I'll just leave. I stopped using reddit for anything other than work, cold turkey, out of pure spite. I can and will pull that move again!

Respect the troops

😘

Lina the GOAT

fuck Intuit

Well if the islamophobia isn't activating for you, have you tried.... misogyny? Did you know that Mamdani is married to............ a woman
