something was busted in linux for work, reluctantly booted into windows, was reminded that my windows partition is so broken I had it set to only boot in safe mode. good start to the year

once I got too excited playing foosball and twisted my ankle

"If you work for (X) game company it's your moral duty to quit" hey so idk if you've seen the game dev job market lately...

I once went to a talk where one of the panelists was introduced as "the guy who invented the like button" and everyone instinctively booed

I get why fellow AI haters really want to believe that everyone hates AI except tech CEOs, but man...anecdotally, from people in my own life, AI use is so normal

so…is there anything actually cool about Mario Kart World’s interconnected courses? cause I’ve played a bunch of grand prix now and ngl it feels a heck of a lot like every other mario kart

once when I was single I was complaining to my sister about how someone I liked was probably dating somebody way cooler and handsomer than me and this is the advice she gave

People are touch deprived... while at the same time incubated in a society that is intimacy avoidant

there is a crisis of accountability in the world of AI right now between this and driving people to suicide (among other things) and I simply don't see the urgency it deserves

thinking about the family on the plane the other day where the mom shushing her kids was so much louder and more annoying than the kids

Trump once again doing what Trump does best: the same shit US imperialism has been doing for decades, delivered with the grace and panache of a 4th grader playing make believe

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

if you’re talking to your conservative parents about this and they say “but Maduro is bad”, that’s your opportunity to drop your “I agree but it doesn’t matter, this is fully illegal”. I don’t think anyone here needs to hear it

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

well. this fucking sucks

coming back to blue prince after almost a year is both the worst idea cause we can’t remember shit but also the best cause honestly we had gotten kinda burnt out on it and now it feels fresh again

I’m so out of the loop on Discourse that I have no idea what this is responding to but anybody talking shit about mystery games can fight me

my feelings on the stranger things finale are very similar to avengers endgame: corny as hell, predictable emotional beats, and strains credulity if you think about it too much, but I’ve spent way too much time with these characters to not be emotionally invested

I think the worst part about chronic pain is how much it sucks the joy out of everything like the number of times that I sit down to finally play a game or read a book and all I have the energy for is half-watching youtube videos I’ve seen a million times already 🙃

watched a video about how scientists have “recently discovered” that zebra stripes are for deterring flies; and at the very end one of the bits of “evidence” is that indigenous people knew this. oh so you didn’t discover shit, it’s just white colonists are catching up on human knowledge

strawberry strawberry strawberry never frosted, put butter on after toasting. this is the way.

it’s very hard to fully Screen Time block bluesky when there are so many clients out there. (posted from tokimeki.blue)

I love Pluribus but the people comparing it to Lost are baffling to me

merry early christmas, my mom and I just found out we got my dad the same gift lmao

lol at my parents’ super wealthy church doing their christmas eve service about Mary’s Magnificat and fully skipping the line where god “sends the rich away empty-handed”

I can't expect every Benoit Blanc movie to be Knives Out but I think nothing will ever top how perfectly constructed that movie was to make you *think* you've followed everything till the end, only for it to yank on the thread of that small nagging feeling you still have that something's missing

I loved Wake Up Dead Man btw, it was so fun and touching and I want a million more Benoit Blanc movies. can I ask though, was anybody else super fucking lost by the time the mystery was revealed or am I just dumb

baller move on Rian Johnson’s part to include a line in Wake Up Dead Man where someone fully misinterprets the core themes of Star Wars

few things more devastating than bringing what you think is a new and novel idea to someone and they already have a name for it

you might remember Natalie from when she was laid off from Giant Squid *immediately* after they shipped Sword of the Sea (which she did incredible work on). please consider reading/sharing her story, and giving something. it's been a rough year for her, and we can help.

this is the definitive word on using AI in creative works. I just wanna repost it forever

It's that time of the year again

someone I know recently changed his occupation in LinkedIn to "Founder" when I know for a fact the only job he's had in the last 10 years was at a Safeway

to a lot of the worst men alive that's just called "LinkedIn"

been on social media less than usual the last week and I regret to inform you that I'm feeling a lot less anxiety

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment. It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

how is the official FBX SDK so arcane that it was literally easier for me to write my own FBX parser from scratch

remember when we all thought he was dead

"my job is about to get a lot easier" - best possible feedback to get as a tools programmer, hell yeah

7 empty windows just appeared on my screen and disappeared a half second later, wtf

hey, body? human body, that I have? just because you hear about someone being sick doesn’t mean you need to immediately start feeling all of the same symptoms. there’s no reason for that. please stop

“Don’t worry we only use the Death Star for its long range space travel capabilities”

going through the airport with a kid for the first time I was curious what kind of id or documents they were gonna need. man I could have just walked through that airport with any baby I wanted

I’m on a plane connecting to the bluesky PDS running on my computer at home to write this post. wild

I may have left a graveyard of commented-out half-code in my wake but I finally got a Thing to do a Thing
