I said this in a reply but Miyamoto publicly saying that just games aren't enough to reach people is a huge part of why Nintendo is so successful. Merchandise, Mario Land, all those cake toppers keep Nintendo and it's characters very visible while ALSO making money.

We'll win the fight and then go out for pizza

To be clear here: I do not generate any income from my personal writing. I cannot afford the cost of an editor for my Less Useful Things articles

In a world of darkness let there be gruyere

I understand why there are still kickstarters that put stretch goals or even main tiers as having stickers and keychains and all that not but if you have not dealt with actually getting those types of things, you should not be offering them. The logistics alone are a nightmare.

Bryce 1.0 (1994)

Yeah outside interest is an understatement. One more person who you absolutely should back the brinks truck back up for.

Only one egg has the antidote. You have one hour.

All I ever want from Star Trek is: 1. A hopeful future built on the humility of learning we are an insignificant part of the universe 2. Individuals grappling with their own expectations of others and groups while learning how to work together to solve issues that require cooperation and teamwork.

I would bet money on the plan being Cooper Rush because that is the most Mime McCarthy thing possible

He misses bringing his dates to pornos on 43rd street

This is a grifter simply grifting. "paying" a bill that will cost 25-100x within the next 6-8 months. I This is no different than those who claim you can make passive income if you follow their course. No aspect of this person or the things they say is remotely accurate to reality.

There are journalists doing the work you want to pretend the New York Times does. Support them. Atop putting money in the pockets of these people and pretending there aren't any other places covering it. Stop clinging to the past when it isn't remotely close to the reality of the present.

Do not use the New York Times or any of its imprints. Do not read it. Do not share it. It is an authoritarian propaganda machine that is both untrustworthy and actively harmful. This is not that complicated. Every single time you share it or "dunk" on it you are giving views to fascists.

There is something so annoying about someone claiming to be a developer as their job responds to an open source emulation project with "what if you just did this thing I have no concept of the difficulty of executing" or "what about this 'simple' solution". It's open source, knock yourself out.

You know Hulu does not give a single shit about a show if it doesn't have skip intro

The very concept of this movie, in any format, costing more then like $2 is illogical

Sometimes I say stuff on Discord I know will make people try and defend something like some podcast or a movie and then I just mute the channel indefinitely. It's the kind of anarchy I have in my life.

Driving through ohio once I stopped overnight and got a pizza and they did this and I walked back in and asked them if they understood what they were doing was wrong. They thought I was joking.

I'm sorry but Hinge does not seem to know what I am compatible with. It just keeps showing me a picture of an empty room

One day I will write a list of the greatest Simpsons jokes in my eyes, similar to how I wrote my Detroiters or I Think You Should Leave articles. There's honestly a bunch of these in various states. But this joke is among my favorites: youtu.be/V8UKj_kS-cQ?...

One aspect of all of this modern discourse is the phrase deranged being thrown around as if it is remotely offensive. No one cares man. That's a you problem.

I intentionally do not discuss Amazon primarily because there are core aspects that are directly related to my job. But this article touches on the pretend world of arbitrage being some big financial gain for you and the fact that it isn't and won't be. www.joanwestenberg.com/the-passive-...

I just ate a whole plate of dingamagoo

No you'll never make a model out of me

People with zero understanding of what AI even is allowing corporations to buy their way into schools should be a crime. And I do not mean that lightly.

I can promise you there is not a singular podcast where their opinion matters more then my boy Mike's

I had no idea how salty that some people could get over an entire joke about preserving a commercial. I do fully understand what the preservation took but it is also taking a poorly written post that had absolutely zero to actually do with that and becoming indignant is incredibly whiney.

"See right here, why isn't Commander Shepard introducing themselves every scene by saying 'Im Commander Shepard and I'm looking for a Mass Effect'?"

What's funny about the Peter Rosenberg situation is that he at no point has the self-awareness to understand why the response was what it was and then he kept doubling down while crashing out. Having an opinion about dives is fine. Framing it as if you know anything beyond fandom is the issue.

If they did not have clear and direct evidence or any way to get it (and tried), then no, they should not report it. That's gossip. If they had the evidence these are not reporters they are propaganda mouth pieces doing what they can solely for their own career fulfillment.

The thing is, beyond what you believe, everything posted publicly online does not require you to comment, have an opinion on it or even interact in a meaningful way. Sometimes you can just scroll past it and continue with your life.

I can promise you, at 7:30 on a Saturday, I am ready to rock and roll

So, it appears PC pre-built makers are going to try the same concept that has failed miserably for other mass market consumer goods and only build and sell more "exclusive" i.e expensive higher end computers. This, as is the case every time in these scenarios, will fail.

I can't elaborate enough how worthless critics are to use as a barometer for your own taste if you have a functioning brain. You can just not watch something because you don't like it, or love something because of who cares. But if you point to a score you didn't write, get a life.

If you are basing your opinion on something based on what an influencer or podcast thinks you are hopelessly lost. Critical reviews, even by valid writers, do not define anything. It is simply another opinion

I am sorry to say it but I enjoyed the Super Mario movie. I assume this means I am very stupid and so to all those who have been telling me that, you were right.

I feel like this McAfee thing has all the hallmarks of someone being really cool "lined up", not actually wanting to go to a bunch of tapings and then they just called up McAfee because he exists. This is illogical enough that it is highly unlikely this was the "celebrity" or wrestler they wanted.

You know why Bluesky shouldn't die? In this thread of an Onion article, multiple people discuss both feeding a horse cake (with picture) and then the age of horses. Just people reminiscing about their love of old horses.

I have no idea what The Runarounds is. I have no idea when it was even on. I have never heard of it at all. I feel like this is becoming a pretty regular thing and I can't tell if it is because I am old or if it is because these shows barely get any conversation unless they explode immediately.

I think the guy that brings up bluesky growth is inherently wrong about the actual site growth because number of users is not remotely indicative of actual humans using an all. It is entirely missing reality for a post. But that being said, this thing will die anyway for a lot of reasons.

I’ve never written anything using AI, I never will, and I have zero respect for any professional who does.

Bluesky won't ever grow because it's actual active userbase and it's creators both do not care about it growing.
