This is precisely how a government sets up the framework to install a backdoor, create a firewall, and switch off the internet when it's convenient for them.

Tech bubbles are incredible things, people get so revved up by the big line going up that the 'smart money' starts believing that "Hey what if Tiktok but instead of user content, we front all the cost to generate fake slop videos for users?" is a good business strategy It's all so ridiculous

If I was an investor I'd really want to know where that $80 billion even went, what it was spent on, and what the vision behind it all even was. VR research itself can't be *that* expensive when Valve is keeping up. And Horizon Worlds looked like a messy cheap VRChat clone. So what was it?

30 years ago today, the last & worst school shooting in the UK. 16 pupils & one teacher died, the country was shocked, and we vowed to make sure it wouldn't happen again. In the time since, the US list of school shootings fills 2 long Wikipedia pages. By my count, there are 802, with 627 killed.

Also, it is important to remember that this is Operation Epic Fury, not Operation Epic *Furry*.

Probably the most worthwhile thing to say given current events. Reality is not good vs evil in most cases. And hate for one should not be automatically construed with liking the other.

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Goodness my country is an embarrassment sometimes We're treating people like hardened sex abusers for daring to have interest in fairly common, clearly consensual attractions, policing their hard-drives & access to the internet like they're a non-Epstein-connected nonce. This cannot end well.

Hardly shocking but deeply concerning. I would not advise letting Discord or any other Persona-associated app scan your face The Lethal Company modded community is already considering leaving Discord behind & heading for greener pastures, federated/EU-based social media is the way forward!

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

its real...

No law requires them to do this (outside of the UK & a few other places), discord *chose* to do this, in the wake of mass-disapproval of this kind of identification. If their interest is protecting minors, there are so many better ways they could go about it.

This is neat, though sadly I'm not on it. Oddly my alternate account @overyourhead-photo.bsky.social seems to be though, sitting alone in the wastes lol

History has been made, this is the first new sequence break to be pulled off RTA since *2009* (when 0-star first happened), and likely the last ever (barring somehow skipping upstairs). INCREDIBLE work by Haribo, absolutely phenomenal stuff!

This Postman Situation is CONCERNING

Accurate

Heads-up for anywhere not currently stuck in the cloud!

Can confirm. The wall of text you see here explains how ONE FRAME was saved from the Mario 64 1-key TAS. One. Frame. And this was back in 2015-16 ish, and things have got much crazier since then! tasvideos.org/5237S

Beat the casinos with this one weird trick!

When Russia (as our former majority energy supplier) threatened to freeze the continent for protecting Ukraine, Europe found other suppliers, and left Russia with nobody to buy oil without a huge discount. Do you really think 25% tariffs will do what cutting off our energy did not? No chance.

Real Plumber Plays SUPER MARIO BROS. For The First Time

This may be one of the funniest idiot replies I've had to a political comment in living memory It really reads like a 10 year old talking about their super ultra ninja skills 😂 But sure go ahead, try & kidnap Xi Jinping, I'll grab the popcorn. At least the nukes will be a good firework display!

i like mario

#ai #mozilla #firefox #fuckAI #genAI #fuckGenAI

Still one of the favourite things I've made :D Figuring it all out took way too long

ordered food here. the server did 7 frame-perfect turnarounds in a row and launched themselves through the door speeding past my table at 700km/h but the plate was perfect. 5 star service, would eat here again

Genuinely not sure how they manage to keep digging even deeper, this is getting absurd. The Onion would struggle to match this. Baszucki comes across as the kind of guy who, if not a predator himself, would hang around with Epstein himself & brag about the "networking opportunities". Wild

I mean... yeah Also we goin live again for that Blooming Blossoms any% grind! Watch here: www.twitch.tv/superdavo64

Going LIVE for some Blooming Blossoms (Mario 64 romhack) 111-star speedrun attempts! Watch here: www.twitch.tv/superdavo64

Might do a lil streaming in a bit, got some speedruns to cook 👀

Happy Halloween to heroes and villains alike! My spooky synthwave cover of "Running Up That Hill" is now up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJwF...

happy anniversary of Hawaii 2 being named Hawaii 2

ForeverPark said this 5-way 1"36 tie where the main strat is literally just to longjump straight forward was improvable. I didn't believe his strat could possibly work, but I had to test it and... woah I love just how dumb even the shortest, most basic of stars can be! It keeps things interesting

For everyone worried Elon Musk will kill Wikipedia. Better people than him have tried and failed.

Wild glitchy ledgegrab lmao, I think he did the seam ledgegrab that happens in cannonless, but a bit higher on the seam so the floor check finds the main platform rather than false-grabbing the seam Seeing it happen in runs shows how glitchy it is more than in pre-planned TASes imo for some reason

I'm officially on Tomatobird8's team! Time to get some quick early runs for ez points 😎 www.twitch.tv/superdavo64

The SM64 ROMHack league is drafting participants! I wonder which team I'll end up in www.twitch.tv/sm64romhacks

The correct answer is a copy of the Mupen64 emulator, a Mario 64 ROM, and TAS tutorial part 2. Oh, and a weighted blanket, you gotta have those.

With all the arguments over the Charlie Kirk killer's ideology, has anyone actually bothered to put together a list of all claims from across the spectrum & what they're based on? Even if none of the people who need to will read it, having an objective compilation would still be worthwhile imo.

A trip to the pub with friends is always such a good pallette-cleanser after seeing the many horrors of online division & people's ideas for how to live a "good" life I really don't think we'd have so much division in the world if everyone went for a drink with the lads every once in a while lol

A reminder: You can condemn the shooting without feeling empathy for the victim. You can mourn the situation & see it as a tragedy without lionising or feeling sorry for the man hit. You can think he deserved it without condoning it. And all of these thoughts can be hard to express unambiguously.

Just a heads-up for anyone seeing the recent events, please think carefully before seeking out the footage of Charlie Kirk being shot, it's a lot more grim than the Trump assassination attempt video. Watch at your own discretion. I've seen a few people get caught off-guard & end up regretting it.

An executive order for the creation of TAS Tutorial part 2?

Happy Labor Day

I feel like Schlep might be the first person to ever say these words *willingly* lol
