Can really feel the vibe coding in MS Word because it randomly changes font sizes while I'm typing and insists it hasn't. I hit enter and the line changes sizes but if I manually select it and set the size it changes back. What the fuck are they doing to this app

Hey man, are we cool? I noticed a line of candles on the hallway floor lit up automatically in sequence as I approached your door

Don't love that when you call Fidelity they text you a verification code and the text says 'only use this code online, not on the phone'

honestly this is nuts, they're establishing an 8-hour security perimeter around the most used transportation hub in North America, so one guy can attend a basketball game

stepping on rakes at scale

Star Sword Nemesis is 20% off for the next week! Can a true believer in the cause of human connectedness warm the heart of a broken warrior, with humanity's future in space on the line? Find out in my cosmic girls love novel about a utopian Trans-Neptunian who loves NASA and hate giant robots!

hey man we used AI in the production process of this game but don't worry none of it made it in the game, it was a huge waste of time and money, and we could've just looked at stock photos at the end of the day. You have to accept the future.

there's a way in which a lot of the media coverage on AI use in games is beginning to converge on "well they're all using it, regardless of disclosure", in a way that so quickly turns into "so why bother caring", and I can't stress enough that it is still actually really easy to avoid AI games.

i would say this as a concept artist watching my craft get completely eradicated from greed and laziness, watching my peers default on loans or move back home over total job loss, but even just as a normal-ass gal it's kind of a bummer to hear "looks fun, im still gonna play it"

As someone who was there when GB was a WordPress and subscribed for ten years, respectfully: whatever struggle you feel in your coverage doesn't compare to my field in translation being decimated by this and precursor tech. If I HAVE to live with less work and pay, you CAN live without one game.

This is truly wild. The House is about to reorganize the federal copyright and library system without a hearing or robust buy in from almost any impacted group.

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

Fascinating to see Apple talk about Apple Intelligence while simultaneously realizing that people don't trust a chatbot that constantly calls the cops on you. I think they realize they have an advantage by virtue of everyone else being radioactive. They just keep saying "PRIVACY".

“The Trump administration is bulldozing the overwhelming body of medical research and evidence to try to make it harder for everyone, everywhere to get an abortion,“ Alexis McGill Johnson of Planned Parenthood told Jezebel in a statement www.jezebel.com/the-fda-is-m...

There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US in the year 2026. It’s up to all of us to shut them down and free them all.

Tupac's appearance in Stranger Than Heaven was apparently signed off on by his estate. Let's go see who's running that now, shall we? https://kotaku.com/tupacs-stranger-than-heaven-cameo-approved-estate-accused-embezzlement-2000703986

ah, I was wondering why the NYT was having a panic attack yesterday lol

"On their own hardware" on what hardware? Have you seen hardware prices lately? I periodically see people talking about democratizing AI or whatever and running it on local hardware and buddy, normal people don't have hardware with enough VRAM for good models

The last two were and the next two years are literally just going to be endless rounds of “lol get wrecked nerd“ swiftly followed by “Ooooh, THAT’S why you were doing that” because our entire country is being run by pompous assholes who literally do not believe in expertise

as companies seek to build out the infrastructure for AI across the country, human beings are paying the cost

The Last Remnant cutscene where Emma duels the villain still holds up pretty good even if modern cutscene choreography and cinematography are better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmtk...

LRP: I don’t think Emma from The Last Remnant (or the Last Remnant in general) gets proper appreciation

if they made the matrix today there'd be a third pill that increases your magic resistance by 15% that seems weak at first but levels into some pretty crazy builds by the fourth zone.

Duskers is getting a sequel! 10 years later 😅 The Steam post has more info, including the new teaser trailer - featuring the voice of Deonte (our producer). You can even wishlist it on Steam if you're into that sorta thing 😉 steamcommunity.com/games/254320...

There's a video game coming out which used generative AI to make assets but is also "protected by Denuvo" which is just such a perfect encapsulation of how intellectual property law works and who it is for

So many people focused on Bari Weiss asking to make protesters look more violent and glossing over Pelley admitting they’d already dug deep for the most violent protester footage they could find. His interview is more of an indictment of corporate media than many want to admit.

now seems like a good time to remind people Xbox, and by extension all Microsoft-owned publishers, are on the BDS list

This owns, I'm genuinely afraid of this guy

Medieval peasant: Ho there, time traveller! Me (sheepishly holding Doritos bag): M-me? Peasant: Your kind bringeth these salted wafers yet not one drop of Mountain’s Dew

Ranged Touch is now live with Prepare to Give, a Dark Souls 3 marathon to raise funds for the Brigid Alliance, which provides financial and logistical support to those who need to travel to seek abortion care. Please come watch and donate!!! Twitch.tv/rangedtouch

Demonschool DLC!!! Coming this year! It's focused on "puzzle battles," which present you with specific setups that must be solved within one turn. This is surrounded by a new sidequest story and capped with a new boss. Also coming in 2026: Switch 2!! With full mouse control and improved framerate!

Oops.

What I need is FFXV-2. all my boys in short shorts rolling around in their beach cruiser doing side quests, just vibes, no world saving. There are 1000 new recipes and 500 more fish to catch. You can take cute selfies with every boss monster. There's a bros-only swimsuit contest

Every time GOG does something like this they're like We are not nazis! We are Polish and racist there's a big difference

jack chick dark dungeons tract but there's zero religious or moral payload and it's propagandizing against d&d strictly for design reasons

crowd are you ready for some behind-the-back third person action games with parry mechanics and skill trees? [seat-filler crowd cheers loudly]

It is very rare to get such a fantastic final punchline in a thread like this

I know some people who follow me might fit this role. jobs.ashbyhq.com/arenanet/b70...

I’d like to think that if I produced a movie as wildly profitable as Obsession I would have already reached out to the crew to let them know what kind of bonuses to expect.

yeah, I've been seeing this elsewhere as well. After EA's last round of layoffs there was a following wave of job postings at lower salaries.

Our domain, neocities.org, was NOT listed in the provided court order document, but Namecheap took the report at face value and suspended the domain anyways, and told us "We have to resolve the issue with the complainant in order to have the domain unsuspended." As in, a legal firm in New Delhi.

Early this morning, we received an email from @namecheap.com that the domain neocities.org was being suspended because of a court order from New Delhi, India (a jurisdiction we don't operate in), which was for an unrelated court order about a sports streaming site on a different domain.

The UK banning trans women from breast cancer screening gives the game away, they want trans people dead. It's social murder.

I’m glad to see that so many other writers have been running into this exact problem, at least

Only some people get to defend themselves slate.com/news-and-pol...

what rules about this website is that you'll post something about the winddown of the government helium reserve and the guy who literally managed the winddown of the reserve will somehow see it and reply bsky.app/profile/wald...

It's #Pride Month, of course, so here's something else for straight people to read, consider, & try to understand. This is why representation is so important. We've had to "translate" EVERYTHING in our heads our entire lives. It's such a relief, a reduction in cognitive load, when we don't have to.

if you know anyone that is or has been in crisis lately, give them a call or a chat. it will matter more than you can imagine.

like companies that wanted to do layoffs anyway have been using AI as their explanation even when AI isn't related, businesses that can definitely afford raises but just don't want to do them are likewise pointing to AI as their skeleton key excuse. its main utility to business is as a prop to blame
