play the long game

Even the simple stuff like “my steam deck broke” and you can’t buy a new one. Same with your dishwasher. It sucks! A PC part breaks and you can’t repair it. You can only buy a whole new prebuilt PC, if you are *lucky* And not just you: the businesses you rely on!

the more you learn about this the more you learn how screwed everything is -- harddrives/RAM/etc that don't exist yet are being bought "in advance" of production with money that openAI/etc don't have. meanwhile actual businesses who make real stuff need to buy computers for employees, etc.

Do you dream of revenge on billionaires? THEN WE HAVE THE GAME FOR YOU. Back our indie game made with rage + love on Kickstarter NOW and play our BRAND NEW DEMO on Steam www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

You might think “no one could lose two n64 controllers by setting them down somewhere” but I’m here to tell you that you are wrong.

Don’t spoil death stranding 2 for me, but on a scale of 1-10 how worried should I be?

"There are a lot of lessons to learn from the robber barons" wasn't a quote I was expecting could be used in an ethical way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOR4...

Maybe the best action game ever conceived.

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

*Historians*?! The wildly difficult to parse thing written by the victors? That historians themselves can never agree on together? I’m not a historian but I’ve *read two history books* and know this is stupid. A lot of this list is bad but *historians*???

Here's my hypothesis: live-service games fail because players already know exactly where they want to spend their time, and you’re asking them to abandon an existing pastime for something that you didn’t prove it was worth it. We don't compete with games, we compete with obsessions. Thread:

I read this as "Say goodbye to Zodiac: 4" and was like, okay, so that's a franchise now.

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

If magic wanted to team up with a more modern powerhouse media franchise that’s popular across the planet and has enough content for a card set, they’d do Demon Slayer.

every company that signs a branding deal with Harry Potter would be one thousand times better off doing the same thing with Dragon Ball

Cairn, into Nioh 3, into Mewgenics/Romeo is a Deadman, into Resident Evil 9. What a damn good start to the year.

“I’ve been buying too many magic cards.” Problem soon to be solved.

You could replace AI with cocaine in this Harvard Business Review article and it would totally fit. Working at a faster pace into more hours of the day at first soon giving way to "cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making." Sounds familiar.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly

How time works: 1-2 years ago: Yesterday 3-5 years ago: Recent 6-10 years ago: Wait that was how long ago 10-15 years ago: No hold on go back one 15-20 years ago: Please stop a second please 20-30 years ago: I swear to god I will cut you

Steam Chat has the chance to do the funniest thing.

Merch idea: these as those foam pills that expand into sponges when submerged.

I wanna try the cursed combination. I expect to perish.

If I'm paying for Nitro Classic, a plan I can only have if I'm **grandfathered** in, maybe I'm old. @discord.com

Tomino: "Wow, I wrote that?! Well, I'm nothing special. It's only relevant today because humanity hasn't really improved at all...."

can we please just make a single multimedia chat app that isn't a fucking tragedy

I'm late to the party (it's been a busy weekend) but I had to post at least one #SuperbOwl before calling it a day :) #birds 🌿

I haven’t seen any replays of when that guy tackled a guy with another guy. Best play of the game and they aren’t highlighting it at all!

I owe you an apology, Amber Glenn. I wasn't really familiar with your Magic: The Gathering Game.

Dudes (nongendered) will see this and say hell yeah

Mozilla will allow Firefox users to entirely block current and future generative AI features on the browser after user feedback revealed many who wanted an AI-free browser experience.

It's my birthday! We're still $190 short, which feels like a doable amount to go for? Thank you so much to everyone who's shared and supported 💛🖤🐝

This is fascinating to me - a lot of building blocks of Google's LLM infrastructure were based off earlier work on Google Translate. And seemingly it has all the usual prompt injection vulnerabilities. There's likely no way to truly secure them and have them retain their intended functionality.

“Could not have a better owner” is too definitive a statement to be from the post *and* it’s wrong.

“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said. “You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’” www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

This is good. Not just as Magic analysis, but as a criticism of conservative economic theory.

it's not just that Mamdani is charming af (he is), it's that he is normalizing the idea that children are full members of society that we all share a collective responsibility for

letterboxd.com/hbomberguy/f... Accidentally wrote 1300 words about Iron Lung and I can't decide if I should post about it to justify the time spent, or avoid admitting this embarrassing fact

My expression was always a lot more blunt: the company will never love you back, but if you let it, it just might kill you.
