Gotta sit at my silly little desk and do silly little tasks somehow

Amazing how much humanity at its apex (scientifically, philosophically, *literal distance*) makes your day better.

YouTube is deciding I’m an analog horror guy now, which I doubt, but it is a good excuse to watch Local58 Contingency again. Such good economy of storytelling.

Their “wow cool future“ pitches uniformly suck. “AI will replace 30% of jobs” - So what is your plan for 30% unemployment? “We found reasoning centers in our AI” - So you have made corporate shackled personhood? “We’re going to cover the planet in Data Centers” - Motherfucker that’s where I live!

Less sodium soy sauce? Do you want the sunrise to be less spectacular? The frozen lake to be less beautifully impermanent? The caress of a lover to be less warm? Good god man.

Not the dual amputation dualshock

Were we barreling into a recession where everyone is going to cut back on discretionary spending, I would probably not increase the price of my disposable income machine and every accessory / game for it.

I don’t know if I want a full album of Jack Harlow doing R&B, but I can see Prague going into the upper echelons of my White Boy in his Feelings playlist. Sad Boy Summer is back.

They nerfed walz target combo in the last patch, and the ladder is still full of newsoms spamming overhead, fucking Tekken devs.

Fun trip down memory lane. Forgot how load bearing the second gen Nano and first gen touch were in my memory. List is missing the Aluminum MacBook Pro that could boot camp into Windows and run Unreal Tournament III. Was the apex of laptops to younger me.

I had a middle school English teacher that required everything to be submitted in handwritten cursive until a group of parents pulled a soft coup to allow the use of computers. She was eventually arrested for robbing a string of banks up and down New England to fund her gambling addiction.

Has Nintendo gone too far with Baby Andross?

Are the Reds playing a game? No? Then it’s sparkling spring training.

Preparing for 162 games of bullshit like

Live in the piss filter, rest in piss.

Really amazing how the TSA, *the* face of GWB Era privacy invasion and Security Theatre, look like working class heroes compared to our nation’s finest chuds milling around a concourse. “We woke up one morning and fell a little further down” - Efrim Menuck, Incomplete Movie about Jail

New Atheism was not just a dead end but a net negative. * All conceited white dudes * Platformed by RW media to broadcast Islamophobia but leftishly * Exploded when exposed to a single iota of feminist thought * Left a gaping hole in rationalism directly leading to our current anti-sci hellscape.

If I was given a budget and resources to build some kind of ML tools specifically for my team I would be about it. Right now across the industry it’s “did you throw a chatbot at your problem” and “what do you mean the chatbot made garbage, we had you take AI Training TM”

Points at the sacred texts

Yoshi p is allowed to say this because people paying 15 a month to G-pose keeps Squeenix Alive. Even with his pull, I don’t think Square will ever let teams other than CBU1 do mainline FF again, nor will they have it be anything but bleeding edge graphics and tech, ergo FF 17 years in development.

I don’t think it’s a surprise that my decent into (what can unjustly be called) Irish Heritage Fandom comes at the same time the land of my birth is deciding to bring about some apocalypse. The old sod is comforting, it’s thriving, they have actual laws about food and air quality. Let me in.

What I am going to start calling the Modern Leon Trilogy (RE2Make, RE4Make, RE9) is not just about making Leon jacked, it’s also about making his female companion more and more of a relatable failgirl with each release.

The NuCaloric executive telling the colonists that they packed extra drinkable cheeseburgers dropping the same week fast food CEOs are failing to eat burgers on camera is real life imitating art imitating life. Destiny 2 as a second job birthing Marathon as contract work is metatextual as hell.

This Switch 2 graphics update goes crazy

It's a narrative art form, not an essay. Being messy is a feature, not a bug.

me holding a gun to a frog: tell me the name of god you amphibian piece of shit Kerotan: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I'M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

Leon would move through The Last of Us's setting like LeBron would move through your regional basketball league.

Between this and Blasphemous, I'm glad the Spanish are getting Catholic Trauma Games in vogue.

Buy out a public space Put up fencing to control attendance Close the space for all but 3 hours a day Make your own "Game Development in 2026" joke

I’m an employee of the Patriots organization, since 2020 my job has been to tell the media that the Pats were “also interested” in any WR that hits FA. I have better job security than Robert Kraft.

What is the funniest Childish Gambino song to sing in a Yoshi voice and why is it Bonfire?

Think I’ve made it through all the stages of grief with industry layoffs and have now defaulted to “laughing like an early game dark souls character” at the impossibility of it all.

Real fitting that Dow over 50k lasted exactly as long as the lifecycle of a modern internet meme. Economic use of time.

Finally some good posting on this site.

God bless F1 where yelling “what the actual fuck” post 1am is reasonable.

Would once again like to thank the ancient Ur-Perverts who shaped the course of this site.

[Rent due posting] February was created by the powers that be to make you pay full price for 14/15ths of a month.

Update from this morning: Gas is 3.50 USD a gallon and (more importantly) monster energy is 3 for 8 dollars. According to the @spacetwinks.bsky.social theory of economy we are in a recession.

Unfair of the youtube algorithm to present me with the dichotomy of a banger that also makes me feel old as fuck, diminishing, as dust, etc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wva...

The first rule of software development is you complain about things at a loud enough bar, at someone's house, or in the parking garage. Why are you putting it into the written record on Al Gore's Internet?

Important question: Is Marathon the first game to have a slogan in the logo since THE BOUNCER?

Sublimating all worry about him rushing back too soon.

So Lanterns is basically hard traveling heroes but they swapped Oliver Queen for John Stewart? I don’t hate it conceptually (super hero neo-western is cool, actually) but I definitely need some more color in my hero named after a color.

Call me DC Comics, because I’m always just a few issues away from a crisis.

A fuckin USB stick that did not know it’s place and then overheated itself to the temperature of the sun.

Is the arc of the universe finally bending towards Linux and Apple nerds who have been typing M$ since before you were born?

They put ”Shock and Awe” in Primetime. Special Reports of nothing but missiles raining down amongst the air raid sirens. They love pretending they’re Walter Cronkite covering D-Day, when they’re just stenographers for war crimes.
