My name is "Eric Stirpe." I before R. There is also someone on the internet who goes by the name "Eric Stripe" (R before I) who draws extremely NSFW furry content featuring vore, impregnation, etc. I worry about this a lot.

oh this is going to be a disaster

Not at GDC this year, but here’s a couple scraps of free advice on networking for new folks:

My 5 year old said he wanted to build a robot today so i asked him to draw me a schematic so we could spec it out

Shocking no one, Flying Lotus' new EP rules. Flows from breakbeats through insane 16-bit soundscapes with a liberal dose of evil villain laughter sprinkled throughout. flyinglotus.bandcamp.com/album/big-mama

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Very honored to be among this list. So many people I adore on here.

this is my most anticipated game of the year a racing arcade game with a single player story campaign? yes. podracers? yes. weird fringe bits of the star wars universe? yes.

Did you know that Les Claypool and Sean Ono Lennon have a band called The Claypool Lennon Delirium? Complete news to me. But they dropped a single + music video today in anticipation of their new album coming out May 1 and it is some psychedelic funky goodness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9wR...

The creators of Machinarium and Samorost have a *gorgeous* new game coming out this year, and the demo is available now! Go check it out because it's quirky and sweet and fun with one of the most mind-boggling art styles I've seen in a hot minute.

Criterion releasing K Pop Demon Hunters is a net benefit for everyone - those who like the movie will get a really good home release of it, those who don’t care about the movie will benefit from Criterion having a certified money maker that they can use to help fund more obscure/niche releases

some of Ken Sugimori’s early concept art for #pokemon ("capsule monsters" at the time). Love how much these make pokemon collection seem like a grimy subculture

Everything okay, vitamin water

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

Robin Williams on Trump in 2012: And he owns all these beauty pageants. Miss America, Miss Universe. Isn't that a bit like Michael Vick owning a series of pet stores? It's a f-cking catch and release program for him. This is a man who said, 'My daughter is hot.'

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

My sister captured me observing the Super Bowl in my traditional way - Building a Lego set and largely ignoring it

The longer I live in Europe, the more I love buying hyper-local merch from my hometown

The new Muppet Show special was exactly what the doctor ordered. More please now thank you.

politicians are always announcing things they might do, this mf is fuckin it up for everybody by announcing what he's already done

No one told me I’d get TWO Michaels B. Jordan in this!!
