The fun thing about actual engineering is that I can get the computer to do exactly what I want and the computer will then be able to do it again the same way every time even when someone else runs the program...

Gee wonder if there is anything going on in the world politically that might be impacting research, progress and our institutions of academia 🤔....nope humans must just be out of ideas.

The Atwood Music Hall is charming! Here to see John Waters.

Nothing terrible is happening there are just a million little things that add up to me losing my ever loving mind.

What is the worst day of the week and why is it today?

100% this and also I think these AI bros don’t get that there there are a ton of little micro ideas and decisions that are happening on the way from conception to finishing. It’s not all just follow through from the equivalent of a prompt. The steps in the process inform the whole concept.

Folks I emphasize as always, if you don't actually show up for the things you want, they stop getting made. Sometimes you gotta be okay with taking a chance on that 7/10 game knowing it's the only way those creators get to keep making the stuff you wanna see

Clearly my dog thinks our new giant beanbag is just her giant dog bed.

8 bedrooms and ONLY 1 BATH!??? Do you just hose down the 7 kids outside?

Proof that LLMs do not know what a spoiler or a plot is.... www.ign.com/articles/eve...

I enjoyed his posts more when he just posted random rambling about mega textures.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

Fun reminder: Blow sucks.

That trailer(?) is gross 🤢🤮 Nasty

Miss Piggy?! Fun fact. Frank Oz was the original voice actor for both Miss Piggy and Yoda. Now I have cursed you to hear how much Yoda and Miss Piggy sound alike. You're welcome?

I'm astounded by how long the fallout and recovery from a broken ankle is 😭 I'm into month 4. The bone is healed enough to walk on without a brace and is not painful BUT everything else hurts. I'm having lower back and hip pain like I haven't had since pregnancy.

He sees you while you’re sleeping He’s also made of cake He’s seen some shit you won’t believe So be good, for goodness sake

Uh... Bets on if the trailer will include pictures of his pee jug for the project?

Yes! If you have done client work in a creative field you definitely have stories about the bad ideas people wanted you to make. Our current LLMs are specifically trained to agree that all ideas are brilliant.

In other news just 100% confirming that Matthew Lillard is indeed a transgender icon: m.youtube.com/watch?v=IJal... We all love him

Uh...so GDC happening in the SF is problematic for a bunch of reasons and for a long time people have wanted an alternative but this is like a cursed monkey paw version of fulfilling that wish.

Wow this new BioShock screenshot looks awful.

This is my new favorite gif.

You are getting scammed by big chain stores and tech bros.

"recap your 2025 media consumption" brand-engagement moments feel wholesome to me in the same way a veggie-flavored chip tastes more wholesome than bbq chips which is to say, not at all. we talk about ultra-processed foods, but can we talk about ultra-processed memories? ultra-processed identity?

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. (It's one of my teenagers comfort movie.)

We Love Our Somali Neighbors. We Love Our Immigrant Neighbors. my new screen-printed porch posters in Somalia flag blue & Monarca orange! message me to request 🦋 funds support these organizations: - Immigrant Law Center - Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid - Volunteer Lawyers Network - CAIR MN - Ayada Leads

10/10 short horror film! No notes.

not long now until CNN announces they are going to branch out into reality TV...

My first piece for @entrylvldev.bsky.social is up! I wrote about the MDEV conference, put on by the Wisconsin Games Alliance, here in Madison, WI. Check it out and let me know what you think! entrylvl.ca/2025/12/05/m...

wow the beast really will make marks of us all

😩 Bet he is going to Launch his own crypto called Beast Coin

What I really love about Pluribus is its a show about ultimate assimilatory collectivity vs American western individualism centered on a woman who has grown up indoctrinated into ideals of American exceptionalism but is also queer, both literally and metaphorically, to American hegemonic culture.

"Hey look, that's how the war started"

Feeling really old today as I sit on a heating pad for my sciatica and anticipating my ortho follow up this afternoon. Also freaking out a little cause I finally got an idea of my travel schedule for 2026 O_O (I knew this was coming but it now just feels very real....)

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

Why are rich tech bros so into rockets?! Oh .... 🚀.....🍆

Uh.....so I just googled Kalshi and looked at the website. How is this not classed as Gambling?

Uh.....after you play this game do remember any of it?

I know the first thing I wanted to do when husband collapsed from a heart attack was shop around for the best deals on Emergency Room Care but instead I had to call 911 and perform CPR!

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Blue Prince (2025)

Hmmm, I assumed people said "out of my league" when they didn't want to do something...but is that not the case? I'm definitely more of the "I'll do anything out of my league" kinda person.

Ok....which is worse; Hawkins or Derry?

Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small, Was singing! Without any presents at all! He HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same!

We are headed for a new dark ages....but I also know we will survive and eventually rebuild. There are enough folks like me whose hobbies all involve making stuff that we could buy easily and for a lot less money.

Possibly unpopular opinion...but this movie is not good. I do think the actors are bad but I feel like it's going for an aesthetic rather than a plot that makes sense.
