IDK why twitch thinks I am going to sit through 10 minutes of pre-roll ads when tuning in to anybody's livestream. There is no livestream I need to see that badly. I don't begrudge advertising on a free service but the service has to remain usable, you'd think.

There has never been a more expensive time to be a gamer There has never been a cheaper time to be a gamer It was the age of wisdom It was the age of foolishness

What is the 'food rule' you do not follow?

Wondering if its possible for a capybara to be so chill, to become so detached from material concerns, that they attain enlightenment or ascend to buddhahood

Ideas for new MTG sets (stop me when one of these turns out to be real. I'm not looking it up as I go)

So this raises the question, which characters in star wars smell the least bad?

Now that May is over we can take a new look at games industry layoffs. May has been the quietest month of the year to date. Half way through 2026 we're about 600 shy of all 2025 for known impacted headcount. If I isolate 2026 we have 56% known layoff waves WITHOUT headcounts.

Nobody knows this human being was generated using AI.

This building is entirely attainable. With the billionaires in the world, it could easily be made within a decade. Many of them could make architectural wonders to rival anything from history, which could inspire and last centuries, if they wanted to.

Its time for Show and Tell! Reply to this thread showing us something and telling us a little about it. It could be anything. A cool rock? A sentimental bit of trash? Some kind of treasure? Whatever!

There is no rule saying you have to sell your privately owned business.

name one flying and aquatic animal.

Okay everyone, tomorrow is Friday so we're gonna do show and tell. I want you to get something you can show us all, and tell us a little about it, okay? I'll be calling on you tomorrow.

Toronto has this great annual event called "Doors Open" in which the public can access typically inaccessible buildings in the city, but mainly institutional ones like a water treatment plant, courts, historical buildings, etc. But IMO it should also just include people's homes so I can be a snoop.

Has anybody made haircuts a subscription service yet?

CEO thinks their company should have made more money.

We're only a few weeks away from the start of Toronto Games Week, and our organizers and volunteers are gathering to prepare for SEVEN WHOLE DAYS of playful arts and culture! With over 50+ events on the schedule this year, we have something for everyone! torontogamesweek.com/schedule

I get that many people are frustrated and deflated by seeing things get decreasingly affordable, and a basic, stable life with a few small pleasures getting further out of reach, but its important to remember that you are not a mere spectator here. There are direct material actions you can take.

Are there any videos showing real people using the internet in around 2005 or earlier, specifically showing the screen as web pages load in real time?

Not everyone knows this but BNB stands for Bed aNd Breakfast, a type of accommodation where overnight lodging is accompanied by a provided morning meal.

Trying to reconcile "this is not public collateral" when @unrealengine.bsky.social published the very image publicly to twitter. Sure the image cited as concept provided by Porche, but still published publicly by Unreal Engine's main account, which confuses that point. x.com/i/status/205...

Another Toronto Games Week event happening in a couple weeks!

Holy shit Babybel Pro is REAL babybel.com/product/mini...

reviews coming in for the new 007 game but nobody revealing if it has a big-head mode.

Back in my day public spaces used to have places to sit down and relax, often with tables upon which one could set things down too. and we liked it. up hill. both ways.

7-up hook me up so I can influence everyone!

I've been notified that @marathonthegame.bungie.net has eschewed naming a loot tier "exotic", which is surprising since Destiny 2 was one of the last, biggest games still doing that. With this move it feels like we've made real progress on this over the years Which game is left other than Fortnite?

Okay so my prediction was off by 4 days. Today (May 24) Star Citizen crossed the $1Bn threshold.

Oh god. Ford. No.

Back in the day, the reason google won the search engine wars at the time was specifically because it was just "a list of links", unbloated by portal fluff and inefficient nonsense.
