We have yet another cool Antimemetics pre-order offer

[Blofeld voice] Twelve minutes. One of these days we must invent a faster build

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Whose fetish is this

The history of observations of Halley's Comet gets to me for reasons I find difficult to articulate. Centuries and centuries of confusion and fear giving way to gradual, incremental understanding en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley%...

My favourite character in Hollow Knight was Millibelle. I laughed for like a full five minutes

No plot here. I genuinely think certain people may just be wired to respond with wildly more enthusiasm than the rest of us to the earliest versions of this technology In fact, the breakthrough/threshold may have been *creating an AI which can convince a tech billionaire of its own merits*

Absolutely mind-boggling to me that this isn't a fully solved problem. "GW250114"? With "25" being the year number? Do you think gravitional wave observations aren't going to continue beyond this century?

Silksong is radicalizing me. Next time I see a bug, I'm flipping it the bird

What everyone woman wants is a house with lil chicken legs

*Silksong boss fight starts. The door locks* Me: Heh, I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with m- *I immediately dash wrong way into lava*

Is it me or do the maintainers of Node.js just really resent ESM

Do you think while developing Hollow Knight and Silksong they were constantly like "Hey I found a bug. No, I mean the other kind of bug. The bad kind! No, not an enemy bug! Well yes it IS a bug relating to an enemy. THE GAME IS BROKEN"

Does your pet deserve scorn. Then come on down to

At least in Silksong I have a name and an objective, I have a distinct memory of putting down the controller about 11 hours into Hollow Knight and saying "Okay but seriously though who even am I, why am I here, to do what"

A passkey is like a password, but instead of a word, it's a key

Hold on a second

What should I write about

FINALLY this thing has a "view the post you just posted" button, about time

Lock files make keeping dependencies up to date more difficult, but they also protect us from breaking changes and bugs upstream, so it's impossible to say if they're good or not

If a game is truly beautiful, which Silksong absolutely is, then I have a lot more time for it because I want to see more of the beauty

Finally upgraded from five to six masks! Took a lot of exploration and grinding, but at least this means all the enemies who do two masks of damage* and used to kill me in only three hits will now kill me in three hits

This fall, there are some novels you really really really ought to read. Some are obvious, some are ones you haven't heard of, some aren't on this list but they're cool anyway. But THESE ones, we can attest, are really good: lithub.com/15-novels-yo...

Eventual consistency bug? Just ignore it, I'll fix it later

I'm calling this specific moment the "Silksnog" www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XGe...

which of these functions is cooler? y = 2^x y = e^x natural growth seems like a good argument for e^x but then 2^x describes the powerset...

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

The conventional wisdom is that worldbuilding alone isn't interesting until/unless there's a story attached, but I have to make an exception for Jay Eaton's work on Runaway to the Stars, which has a story, yes, but independently I *love* the worldbuilding: jayeaton.site/RunawayToThe...

So Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday is clearly going to be an alternate universe Tony Stark, right? "What If Iron Man Was Evil" is a pretty solid premise for an Avengers movie. It just kind of makes sense
