You can criticize it all you like, but what you _actuall_ need to do is disprove it because that’s how science works.

I know paying people is expensive. But I despise the way AI sounds. I hate it so much, that I refuse to engage with anything in its vicinity. Do it yourself, pay a human, or don’t do it at all.

Completely unrelated, one of the richest men of his time set up a Gmail account to sign up for iTunes and then used that same email to write potentially incriminating messages. The opsec with these people is embarrassing why do they get so much power when they are so dumb.

no matter what you think about valve we are unfortunately at a stage of capitalism when it is extremely refreshing when a company comes up with a product for you to simply exchange money for

I used to ask my colleagues about this. (Not America) Their answer was “oh I just get up at 6am” or “I go to work at 10 to avoid traffic and attend calls on the way” and that’s just not safe or a healthy way to live.

business person: there should be a game where you can shoot zombies with shotgun people might buy that *experienced specialist team makes a hundred thousand decisions expertly about how to develop something compelling that fits those 2 criteria* business person: I did it everyone look what I made

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

Actually he’s so tall, he’s both spoons.

What. The FUCK. 'The teacher said, "If you don't know the word, just look at this picture up here," Woodworth recalled. "There was a fox and a bear in the picture. And the word was bear, and she said, 'Look at the first letter. It's a "b." Is it fox or bear?'"'

There’s no Gen AI in Potions in Motion _or_ in Hey Over Here.

Hank Green taking Eliezer Yudkowsky seriously enough to discuss his book with the co-author should be a veeeerrrry massive ding to his credibility.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

What a thrill to be part of @talkingpointsmemo.com's series about the past 25 years of digital media! I wrote about why private equity goons destroyed Deadspin and why it matters.

When you play a game, especially one as detailed as GTA, its humanity is infused into every pixel. Every uncanny valley animation, every tiny hand placed detail in the map. Every wonky transition between poses. Every line of dialogue written, recorded, and mocapped. Every system and simulation.

Didn’t realize SS2 Remaster was out already 🙃

We’re all talking about James Bond and I can’t help but wonder if that wasn’t the whole fucking point to begin with 🤔

If this guy can be a state AG then there is literally NOTHING that should stand in the way of your dreams.

Optimalization tip for #GodotEngine by @chasingcarrots.bsky.social at #GodotFest: If you want to conditionally not process something; don't return in _process() - Instead change the processing mode to disable it!

It's interesting that the authors of "The Expanse" could imagine a future Earth with UBI* and a one-world-government, but couldn't imagine a prison system that looks like anything but the American one. * itself written almost uncritically through a very American lens

Every day I learn another awful thing about that place.

My hot take: Desktops weren't meant to contain content. In fact, they shouldn't be seen. If your desktop is visible it means you're wasting screen space.

It's Two Weeks Until Crystal Heart Is Out Day! #CrystalHeart

Imagine spending time with Musk, as opposed to your friends. Is there honestly anyone I know who would be excited to hear him talk about anything? Like, _anything_. One imagines everyone has SOMETHING interesting to say, SOMETHING that brings light to their eyes and fire to their voice. But Musk?

I went to MCM/EGX and got to talk about @coldzephyrgames.bsky.social, @ward-games.com’s Project Lexa, and other highlights from the show (Hebrew language podcast).

TIL Libby’s content controls actually let you _hide_ kids content (with option to keep YA stuff) to make it more grown-up friendly

Achilles and Patroclus, two famously alpha bros just being alpha together all day all night. No females invited.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Not out of any concern for insurance companies or private healthcare in any way, just wondering out loud: If tomorrow US passed free universal healthcare tomorrow, how would that look for the existing industry?

We're sending early keys to content creators for the DEMO that we'll be releasing on the 17th! If you know anyone (or yourself) who might be interested in deckbuilders, roguelikes, strategy games, puzzles, cards or indie games in general, let us know and we'll send them a key!😊 #indiedev

מסתבר שהגעתי לשלב בקריירה שבו אני זכאית לעוזר הוראה... אז קצת לונגשוט, אבל מנסה גם פה - אם אתם עורכ/ת דין צעיר/ה, או מכירים עורך/ת דין צעיר/ה, ששולט/ת בעברית-משפטית, עם עין חדה לפרטים ומחפש/ת השלמת הכנסה צנועה – צרו אתי קשר בדיאם. השכר צנוע (ולא בשליטתי) אבל גם העבודה ממוקדת ולא קשה, ומהבית

November is next month!

A child said to me “I feel like I have so much I could learn from your generation” after I said “thanks it’s an old tv show” when they complimented my Wishbone t-shirt and I have not been so casually slain this hard in a long time

You know what might solve the profitability problem of generative AIs? MLM. In this talk I will—

@adamatomic.bsky.social has created a *lot* of small games, and we were delighted for him to join us at ThinkyCon 2025 to share how he approaches it.

TIL “The Country Mouse and the City Mouse” is Aesop Fable (rural vs urban 6th c. BCE!?!?) while “The Scorpion and the Frog” is NOT!?

“The Republicans have promised us that they are ABSOLUTELY going to let Charlie Brown kick the football this time, and we think this is what true bipartisanship looks like.”

Glad to see parents discovering that Roblox is problematic but it'd be nicer if they focused on the systemic exploitation of labour and the predatory monetization rather than pearl-clutching over meme games.

Neville Chamberlain is nodding approvingly in his grave.

What is the surprisingly-not-an-anachronism equivalent of “Lincoln could send a fax machine to a samurai” for the 2020s?
