I'm older today

i am a puddle. brain overheated. this is the temperature of my living room with windows and doors open and i feel you could pull me apart like glistening brisket.

Witcher 3 getting an expansion 12 years after it came out. They just had to one up the king 😏

Why do all of these guys think this is a bold new plan rather than what the party is already doing

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

"The only thing they can talk to is a tape recorder they will throw in a bin" describes a good amount of podcasts honestly.

This might be a "level-one on the iceberg" observation, but I'm pretty sure Andrew Ryan is half-cut in most of his audio logs. It's like everyone in Rapture is sad and drunk and the only thing they can talk to is a tape recorder they will throw in a bin for some reason.

Every couple months I check in on the latest Adrian Chiles articles and I’m always absolutely blown away. These are all from the last couple months. The man is operating at an incredibly high level.

"The vast majority of people will never hear the other side of the story, the factually correct side of the story, the morally decent side of the story. The side of the story that was the overwhelming consensus among politicians and the public a mere 6-7 years previously."

Amnesty International released a report about the overwhelming anti-trans rhetoric in the UK. 200+ articles a month dehumanising trans lives into a debate *without representation from trans voices* I highly recommend reading the report for the scale it highlights www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/new-u...

Looked it up. Yep, a lot of gamers online complaining Bad Controls Made Me A Child Murderer lol

I have now begun Bioshock 2 and nearly did a Bad Thing because for some reason the buttons for Rescuing or Harvesting little sisters is swapped from Bioshock 1. So close to sleepwalking into child murder there.

There's a hundred songs about being in love and getting busy, but we're under-served on songs about the price of that doggie in the window, that one with a waggly tail...

I will take these words to heart, Caves of Qud. Thank you.

Really cool video that goes through all the games I made before 2014 (which was a lot as it turns out!) youtu.be/WJ8tk02Jv4A?...

I'm going to be replaying Bioshock 2 and Infinite as well. I haven't played either since they released and I feel opinions have turned on both of these since? Excited to find out.

Went and replayed Bioshock after the Atlas Shrugged video the other day. First time playing it since I was a teenager. It's still a good game. Rapture is unmatched in atmosphere. The writing is still very compelling though on this replay it felt a bit louder and less complicated than I remember.

Talking about how happy the people are to line up and talk to Vic. Nobody has ever argued Vic lacks charisma The point is how he uses that charisma. And when you say "who are we to determine who the fans want to talk to?" You're the people supposedly in charge of keeping your attendees safe.

Me playing a videogame: I believe I will put all my points into stealth. Every boss in the game: There he is!

I wrote about how AI is destroying my career and what it means that highly skilled jobs are being deskilled with nothing to replace them Link below 👇

I can't believe how quickly all these people became terminally AI-brained to the point that the concept of being forced to do their own research with their own brain feels like punishment

This is an excellent and detailed video essay on Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, and the bullshit of Objectivism. The video is long but every minute is thoughtful and worth going through. Highly reccomended! youtu.be/_LxrZncFlQU

Happy Friday

Right, time to do this government form I've been putting offERROR WEBSITE UNAVAILABLE PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER Alright, I'll keep putting it off then.

Having an exclamation point in your film's title makes Netflix sound really aggressive.

Bro I love not having job security this is so cool If Patreon does anything like this I will literally lose my job Amazing time to be alive

And this is horseshit, just the same way as every other one of these payment processor puritanical pushes have been. The system was fine and people were happy, but the in-betweeners keep getting in the way. kotaku.com/kickstarter-...

Great video here on Lunar Dragon Song (Lunar Genesis elsewhere) by @iamadot64.bsky.social. I played this game! It sucked! But at the right time, it can mean something to someone. Worth a watch!

Every guy in a videogame:

Evergreen headline.

We are like this.

Aww, already the second example makes me jolly, since I know how and why the Mysterious Pair of Eyes exists, but I'll take it to me grave, muwahahahahaha!

Haha, the Depot Door! I know why it exists as well, how and why the interaction and Check and Thought came into being. I can reveal that secret: because it's a very noticeable door in a specific spot, but we didn't have an interior map at the time and no time to make one. :P

I have like 200 hours in Disco Elysium, and this video by @jamrockhobo.bsky.social constantly left me floored. More often than not I was *completely floored* with what I was hearing. Big recommend. (Spoilers for Disco Elysium and A Sacred and Terrible Air inside!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD6y...

Sorry but your chatbot girlfriend doesn’t even make sense Richard

"serves 2-3" no problem, I'm way older than that

this is the slop version of The Disintegration Loops

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.

"What if I'm not really autistic?" "When did you last play Full Throttle?" "About 2017, why?" "Recite the opening monologue." "Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation i had before I blacked out - Hey did you know Mark Hamill's in this? - The thick smell of asphalt..."
