incredible quote lol

It’s a labor issue.

this is kind of bonkers tbh the books have actual chatGPT prompts left in the text? what the

Great game at a great price from the creator of Cave Story, check it out

This is going to be the norm soon with the Internet littered with fake content. I've already caught fake 'quotes' from my books. Fake summaries. And yes, I saw a similar list online that had me releasing a fake book this year.

spoiler alert

The band is called "Talking Heads" and yet their heads mostly sing and play musical instruments. Has anyone looked into this?

These guys think they're spewing cutting-edge posthumanist theory and it's all just the corniest, shittiest science fiction that actual writers wouldn't waste a minute on.

the main concern is that with my genetic data the government can make a tiny clone of me that they can torture to get even more of my data

When I'm reading a book on Kindle and the "Popular Highlights" feature shows that a ton of readers highlighted some inane aphorism it actually makes me think less of the book.

The reason I went back to making Balatro 3 months after I essentially gave it up in March 2022 was because I was bored but the internet was out so I couldn't play Rocket League

genAI NPCS are shit for many reasons but also: NPCs with one or two lines of dialog clearly communicate to the player that this character cannot help you progress. We don't just choose not to include thousands of lines for NPCs because we're lazy or lack resources. It's bad design.

You should all be watching for this game to drop tomorrow! Also watch the @shortgame.fm feed for TWO episodes about it!

Working on my eleventh book of 2025! Off to a great start. Anyone have any recommendations? #booksky

the web is cooked. I was reading a book that I wanted to find a summary of. Several top search results were for websites that had full “summaries” that were 75% AI hallucination and contained no more actual info about the book than you could gain by reading the dust jacket.

Usually, we dive deep with full reviews, but events like Steam Next Fest give us a sneak peek at what’s coming—and maybe even our next favorite game to cover! #IndieGames #SteamNextFest #Podcast

I have been reading a fascinating book about the history of bicycles and cycling and then out of nowhere BAM chapter 7 of 15 was devoted to people who have sex with their bikes. I haven’t laughed so hard reading anything in a while.

I didn’t buy the new Monster Hunter today because it released on the buy-nothing protest today.

I’ll stop using y’all as unpaid therapists in a bit, but it’s endlessly frustrating watching teams that have shipped games get dismantled. Mostly because each shipped game is kind of a miracle! You have a team of fucking wizards and you scatter them and their arcane knowledge to the four winds?

Still thinking about THE LONG GOODBYE. It’s obviously not the Marlowe we know, but that wasn’t really the point anyway. The point is there is no room in LA for a chain-smoking tough guy with a soft heart. Gould plays Marlowe as a slob and a rake-stepping loser and it rules.

Longer article here, which has a nice picture of my book, so: winteriscoming.net/the-murderbo...

1922. Miss Mulligatawney's School for Promising Girls has a reputation as the best place for educating young women in all England. But when the system is against you -- then you have to break the system. Term will end. MARCH 12th ⭐ store.steampowered.com/app/2963890/ ⭐

I can’t unlock with FaceID after shaving my mustache, and with Stolen Device Protection turned on I can’t get to my passwords or change my settings.

YouTube added this AI feature on the creator dashboard called "Inspiration" where it looks at your channel content and suggests video ideas for you. I think it needs a little work.

My kiddo (7) saw some clips of the game Spore on the internet and he insisted that I get it, so now I’m spending my Saturday playing this weird, flawed monsterpiece of video game from 2008.

Weird how long it took us to cover something by @sokpop.co but this was the perfect place to start.

My big project for 2025 is that I’m going to finally solve the famous “Jack the Ripper” murders. I’ll start by travelling to London to interview the surviving witnesses, then go to the crime scenes to dust for prints.

Surely I'm not the only one getting this vibe from the Switch 2's joycons:

bold choice to show the new joycons literally drifting

Trying to find a happy medium between not knowing anything that's happening in the world and being pissed off all the time

Did they ever explain the in-universe reason the baby shoes were never worn? I know there are fan theories or whatever but did they ever actually address it in a spin-off? Or are the writers being lazy again 🙄

Again, I want to stress: the Greenland/Canada/Panama stuff is not a distraction. You don't have to believe that Trump is literally going to invade these countries to recognize it as a signal that, under Trump, we are going to treat our former friends like enemies. This matters - a lot.

where does the new york times even find these people

Back to work today! Truly this is a Monday among Mondays.

I’m sorry, im compelled to post the meme again

a short thread of Nicolas Cage resembling various philosophers 1. Spinoza

You know it’s bad when even Trump is pity posting through it 💀

Anti-Tag Clouds: the most common English words that never appeared in a book, like "woman" in Winnie the Pooh or "difficult" in Moby Dick https://www.bewitched.com/demo...

Looking back at my year in books! This is my first time keeping any data on my reading. This was the year I really started getting the most out of the Houston Public Library and the Libby app, so between that and Goodreads this was easy to pull into a spreadsheet.

todays mood is kirby the 4 week old baby elephant from the houston zoo

One time I drove through Houston and it was the most lawless 18 lane highway I've ever been on

“Please, can everybody stop replying all”

"Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable" is something they sang about the Grinch and they wonder why he didn't like them

"Psychopomp" is one of the few words that is exactly as cool as the concept it represents.

Looks like that small form factor PC I was thinking about might not be in the cards

it has always been a long reaction to the New Deal. from then to now, capital had seen the New Deal as the sin that must be purged so that the rest of us understand our place as grist for their mills

It’s always fun to look back on another year of games and arbitrarily rank them
