Sorry for anyone who didn't bother to learn Spanish in high school but is now mad that they don't understand it. It was right there dude. It's not some secret code being kept from you. It's fine not to know stuff but don't expect the world to revolve around just the things you choose to know.

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

Potato watching Black Sunday.

Update: More words!

We watched Potato's best friend Lohan for our neighbors yesterday and she was immediately like, "I live here now."

My piping hot take on PLURIBUS is that it’s one of the most Ghibli-esque shows on TV today, and people who think its pacing is too slow ought to really sit with and examine why they feel that slow pace = bad. Its first season has several minutes worth of “mā”, and is much stronger for it, IMO

“We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this," is a pretty damning quote.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Incremental progress: Words! Faces! Teeth!

It's either a brilliant or terrible idea to start assembling a new puzzle just after taking your ADHD meds.

This made me late to work.

We've finally started assembling the puzzle of the Japanese poster to Godzilla vs. Biollante, our favorite from the Heisei era of Toho Godzilla films.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Potato is just a sweet, little guy.

Damn you’re telling me the technology that was very obviously intended for unregulated speculation and criminal enterprises was used to do awful things

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

this is not a drill: To Live and Die in LA, one of the greatest crime films ever made, is on Criterion this month www.criterionchannel.com/stunts/seaso...

Hooper is on the Criterion Channel. I repeat: Hooper is on the Criterion Channel.

Lots of leadership loves talking about iteration and being agile, but when you need to put effort into making workflows fast, suddenly there’s no time available. The cure is simple: Sit behind someone who is actually doing the work. If their tools are bad you’ll get frustrated in minutes.

This unique effect I like to call Joe's Potato.

I worked on this!! go grab a copy!!

Potato figured out I have an alarm set for his dinnertime and has started taking up position towards the stairs, expectantly, after it rings.

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

we will win. pass it on

We've got, y'know, one of those... culty cult cults.

Didn't realize that Cult of the Lamb had gotten co-op so we're now indoctrinating away... *together.*

I don't know if it needs to be said more, but The Outer Worlds 2 is so fucking good bro.

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration. I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking! Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻

The local dog park is buried in snow, so we arranged a dog play date with Lohan, one of Potato's friends.

Kicking myself for not adding "Heisei era" in there.

the sphinx doesn't mean to speak in riddles. she's very isolated, out there in the desert, and sadly her communication skills were never great even before they deteriorated. also low blood sugar makes it worse.

Calling Battra the "Badtz-Maru of Toho kaiju" may easily be the nerdiest thing I've ever said, but I'm also inordinately proud of it.

anyway, my dudes, you are too old to believe in the logistics fairy

This is so good.

We got some snow today.

If anyone wants to say "Happy Gotcha Day!" to Potato, I'll pass on each message.

One year ago today, Potato joined our little family.

@seejackboyer.bsky.social did a great job with these strange device descriptions and I'm happy to see others enjoying them as much as I have.
