does Hollow Knight want me to feel guilty for killing all these bugs? because I don't ...

I will never understand this POV ... I see a lot of Americans who repeat this ad nauseam as if it's some universal truth but it definitely is not ...

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read shumer.dev/something-bi...

I'm not a fan of Hasan Piker ... I don't hate the dude, but I don't watch Twitch streams and I'm suspicious of a guy whose fanbase seems a bit rabid .. that said - he did not shock his dog. people who would like to report things accurately should probably stop spreading that lie

completely unsurprising given Jon's rather weird skepticism of science ... he did a whole thing about "Climategate", he 100% believes in the Wu-han lab conspiracy and really likes to both sides stuff ... maybe it's because he was a 90s stand up comic and his affection for conservative comics?

I used to think that I would be ready when the time comes but as each day passes and as I grow older, I find myself less and less sure ...

Tech tubers (aside from Luke Miani) are cowards. MKBHD, Quinn Nelson, Linus, all of them are a bunch of fucking cowards

listening to Bowie's Low album in your 40s is a completely different experience than listening to it in your 20s or 30s ... Always Crashing in the Same Car and A New Career in a New Town just hit that much harder ...

I don't trust people who do not like DK Bananza I recognize that you exist and I accept you have different tastes from mine but I don't trust you

The Stranger Things finale has reaffirmed my belief that I should never invest in any fantasy show ever again ... also DnD is fucking stupid

every month, a Steam Deck bro is inspired to make a video on why he thinks the Steam Deck is better than the Switch 2 instead of not giving a fuck ...

This should be the default position of any decent person

As fine an actor as he was, Isiah was an even better spirit and the greatest gentleman.

Everytime I rewatch The Wire, I realize I have more in common with Zig than I would like to admit. James Ransone played him perfectly. What a loss to his family and to the world ...

I've been thinking about this a bit too much but I'm convinced that the #Community movie should start with the death of Jeff Winger, which becomes the reason for the rest of the characters to return to Greendale. Jeff will still play a huge role in the movie (flashbacks and stuff), but he has to die

I'm guessing the reason why the CGI in the first few episodes of IT: Welcome to Derry was so bad was because they spent all their money on the final four episodes because man - what a wonderful finale ... RICH!!!!!!

Finished playing #Dispatch and I have thoughts. Overall I liked it. Art and voice acting are great and makes up for a lot of the negatives … but not all of it … For now I’ll just say it’s really annoying playing this game on the Steam Deck … the controls are unintuitive in the dispatching part …

I was not a fan of the latest Knives Out movie ... it felt needlessly long and I really did not care about the reveal in the end ... starts out strong ... peters out in the middle ... dead on arrival in the end ... just my opinion

Stranger Things is about how great the 80s ... rose colored glasses from people who never lived through it Welcome to Derry indulges a bit in nostalgia but it doesn't shy away from issues from the time period (issues we're still facing right now!) making it the better show ... in my opinion

and I said "What about, Breakfast at Tiffany's?" she said "I think I, remember the film, and as I recall, it's kinda racist, I can't believe you actually liked it"

as a drama guy in high school ... mad respect for the dude

stranger things season 5 part 1 is pretty bad ...

my bet on why Valve banned this is because of the Christian imagery ... Valve don't want to attract any more controversies because they're cowards ...

last steam deck related post then I'll shut up until the price reveal: - predicted price - $650-700 for base specs with controller that said, I think $800-1000 is a fair price. Valve needs to pay for RND, their design team, etc ... also, it's a console, no one's forcing you to buy one

Completely uncontroversial opinion that is not meant to discredit all the valid criticisms of LLMs (ethics of training data, energy use and effect on climate change, etc …) Simon himself acknowledges them. The replies to his original post were insane

the replies to this simple post acknowledging how different people have different experiences with LLMs are truly insane ... it's not even controversial to state that a significant number (not all!) of software engineers have found uses for LLMs and increased their productivity ...

people panicking about the Steam Machine price are funny. we all know you're going to buy it whatever price Valve puts on it and you'll all act like it's the second coming of Jesus (source: Switch 2)

man, the latest Valve announcement has brought out all the annoying Valve fanboys. I'm happy you guys are getting a new console (which I'll probably buy .. used) but none of the things they announced will "CHANGE GAMING FOREVER" ... Steam Deck was more exciting and that's gathering dust on my desk

I honestly thought I'd be more excited for this ... but I barely play with my Steam Deck nowadays ... and SteamOS is ... well I'm not a fan of it ...that said, I'll probably buy a Steam Box in misguided belief to support Linux and open source stuff as much as possible

pure poetry

I'm 100% convinced that people say that "the economy" is their number 1 issue because they want to look smart ...

based on Watchmen and The Killing Joke, I can only conclude that Alan Moore really wanted to become a clown writing hyuk hyuk jokes that would make grown men cry ...

We need to talk about Sudan. After more than 18 months of an inhumane siege and starvation in El Fasher, the RSF militia are committing mass killings of civilians on an unimaginable scale. There is so much blood it can be seen from space.

fucking insane behavior

Graham Platner discourse ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ0P...

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

what's infuriating about this is Biden still supplied them with weapons .. .blood is on all their hands

I was not as in love with Peacemaker Season 2 as everyone else was .. the story was a bit all over the place .. and the whole dimension X was a bit wasted in my opinion ... Chris never really contemplates why he found the Nazi dimension so alluring just that his dad and bro are alive there ...

spaghetti code is fine. developers like to pretend they hate it, but they all do it ...

so like do all AI companies have an Asian lady on hand to just trot out for their presentations?

for the life of me, I still have no idea what notion actually does ...

my real concern with the EA acquisition is that Jared Kushner will now know how many times I sent Ashley to die in Mass Effect ... #teamkaidan

Please save this, read it, feel it. Shame on all those who do not see our children!!

#apple #imac

hi apple people, is there anyway to turn of the screen of an imac but keep it running?

while I am grateful for Hitchens who opened me up to atheism, the New Atheists failed to see the real problem. probably because they were led by white men who had their own biases about Western civilization. the biggest danger to civilization was never Islam - it was always right wing Christians

the last three episodes of Six Feet Under are a work of art ... this show really deserves to be in the same conversation as The Wire and The Sopranos ...

[Mutual aid request, Defend the Mendiola Protesters] Higit 100 na mamamayan ang dinampot ng kapulisan kahapon sa Maynila pagkatapos ng kilos-protesta sa Luneta, kasama na ang higit 50 na menor de edad.

All the good that TypeScript did to the Node ecosystem, npm is undoing it How can a serious company build on top of this ecosystem that is one npm update away from dependency compromise happening (I am serious: I'd expect more greenfield startups to not go with Node b/c of it)

I have such complicated feelings when it comes to HItchens. on the one hand, he, probably more than any other atheist, is the reason why I'm an atheist ... at the same time I can't forget he supported the Iraq War, posted stupid shit like "women aren't funny" and was islamophobic
