Four ways to avoid taking damage in FF6

now where i am from when someone in your office has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in editing spreadsheets we call them "fired"

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Just found this on my hard drive. It seems I made this just over a year ago. For what purpose? I know not. I could probably go find out, but tbh, I prefer the mystery. And gotta say, I think it works pretty darn well.

[slaps roof] this billion dollar calculator is so bad at math we have to warn you not to use it for math

One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.

"Why aren't more Canadians visiting the U.S.?"

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

only psychopaths would vote for the flag when my dude is literally in Final Fantasy

AI is the future you guys.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Y'all only seeing this quoted bit - which is without question, the *stupidest* thing in the piece - but the core premise of the article is NPCS IN VIDEO GAMES ARE SOON GOING TO BE REAL AND THEY WILL DIE IF YOU TURN THE GAME OFF (despite every specific person quoted in the piece saying the opposite)

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions? 3D printing. It’s great! So many applications. But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

one of the saddest things about video games using generative AI for bulk environmental decals and posters and stuff is they’re such cool opportunities to expand lore and sneak in jokes and leaving a computer to spit out generic malformed gibberish just smacks of not giving a shit

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

Even Elon Musk's LLM chatbot children hate him, incredible

AI is totally on the verge of overtaking humans any day now

Mario sunshine kind of powerful. I respect it for giving me only 3 lives and playing a clown honk game over sound as I accidentally slide off the world's tiniest challenge level platform for the 5th time, before blasting ukelele accordion hub world music at me as if nothing happened

I see him everywhere now... Wait... one letter off from "truant," as in one who is late or delinquent. So if I wait until the in-game time is past noon and then I draft a Classroom...

I, uh, what do I do with them all? Can I eat them?

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

This fucking suuuuuuucks =(

Skin Deep was released today! 🎉 I wrote about some of the wonderful collaborators on this project. What a privilege to work with them: blendogames.com/news/post/20...

if you think about video games like this you should be thrown into the sea

The debt this bloody country owes to the New Democrats and Jagmeet Singh for not toppling the government last Oct/Nov/Dec... Had they sided w/ the Bloc and brought down the govt, we would absolutely be staring at a Poilievre majority instead of Pierre - hilariously, deliciously - losing his seat.

Today we celebrate Him

Whenever listening to someone in the tech world talk about the inevitable dominance of some tech or product, it's helpful to remember that 5 years ago every single one of them said that we were on the verge of everyone wearing VR headsets for work and play.

Nothing finer

Real pisser that everyone is now discovering the "Great" in MAGA was referring to "Great Depression"

@pentadact.com AH SHIT YA DID IT, HELL YEAH SON!!

AI search engines are wrong 60% of the time (with Google's Gemini being the absolute worst) www.cjr.org/tow_center/w...

A year from now these same companies will be pouring money into new studios and struggling to recruit the expertise they need to make the projects they have to make because the knowledge was institutional.

Chrome's use-case for its AI writing features is unhinged. 1. Take a writing task that is inherently trivial, where rephrasing has no benefit. 2. Human writes it correctly and succinctly. 3. AI invents emotions the human might have had, doubling the length and slightly fucking up the question.

Look upon ye, and weep (Post you from a different era)

After soloing every other boss in Shadow of the Erdtree, I finally succumbed and pulled in another human being for the final boss after being pasted by them dozens of times. Even then, it still took a mountain of bodies until me and my new best friend "Kingzman" finally did it.
