You know I had to do it

On one hand these Steam Machine prices are hilarious, on the other hand I also have no doubt this is a result of the obscene prices for parts due to AI.

Who are you? What are you doing in a random suburban yard?

My thigh after being in the vague vicinity of a table corner: here, I got you a massive bruise My tit after going tit-first at speed into the corner of a chest of drawers: no you didnt

we at xbox are coming to terms with the AI-fueled hardware crunch, which we helped create, failing to meet profit margins, that we made up, declining software sales, because we're self-cannibalizing our games specifically, and also everyone hates us which, believe it or not, also our fault

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

Pistol Shrimp releases official statement on the non-use of GenAI in its games, including Free Stars: Children of Infinity.

Some huge scientific news announced in my house this morning.

Teaching my daughter and her anemic boyfriend how to skip stones

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

Workers at Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar Games have officially formed the Rockstar Games Workers Union under the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB). The announcement also confirmed that the date for the final hearing in IWGB’s legal battle with Rockstar has been set.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

The video I saw of a guy watching this and saying something like "I don't think they'll be launching it tomorrow" was 10/10

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

when people tell me AI is inevitable so I better get on board

Juno looking in a mirror: I'm not fooled, I know that's me Juno looking at her own sunshine reflection in a glass door: WHO THE FUCK IS THAT

i mean sure i guess

There's a station called Ginifer on the Sunbury line and the train voiceover lady sounded so embarrassed to have to say it

I can't emphasise enough how important the submission by my brother @timhollo.bsky.social to the ill-conceived Royal Commission on Antisemitism is. The lateral antisemitism from fellow Jews is something Tim & I have dealt with for a long time, even before either of us used the term "anti-Zionist".

While this visceral hate of smoking is entirely righteous and correct, it was difficult to completely disentangle the smoking from the allure of the people you crushed on, slept with and fell in love with… most of whom smoked back then.

People understand that this "explanation" is just fanfiction, right?

i got sunburnt yesterday, that's fucked

I'm in my 40s and not only do I take my birthday off, should my birthday fall on a Saturday or Sunday, I take a weekday day off anyway.

Oh, is this Funicular guy the one who wants to break his legs to make himself taller & says if you take your shoes off, to pull your pants down a bit so they hide your feet so you can tiptoe(maxx) around so a woman won't see your true height... And yet thinks women wearing makeup is fraud?

Via Lag, elsechat:

folks they’re calling him the Dim Reaper

me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

First Dog on the Moon (me) on the Moon! (THE MOON!) A cartoon... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

One of the most radical acts you can do right now is just using your own brain to check things

it's crazy i've been tracking this for up to 12* years now (repost because i can't count lmao)

Remember that time our defence department altered an image of Roberts-Smith to pretend he didn’t wear a crusader cross like a freak? #AusPol

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

Thomas gets taken to a black ops site

the goddamn company itself is calling its own game a trojan horse to spread AI acceptance fuck this game forever, fuck these devs. do not trust any amount of backpedaling.

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here. BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

These are the kinds of space facts I'm here for in the year 2026

Think about this one like once every 45 minutes
