“Games are not experiences or things you ‘play’, they are places to hang out” is extremely true, maybe even the most true thing about how The Youths interface with games

The problem is that the Large Language Model as a technology simply does not function economically unless at scale. The finances of how they're made and are operated simply do not work at the scale where their use would be safe. Even local LLMs require expensive training at scale.

Update: there is a new jailbreak called ‘nosebleed’ that worked for my Kindle Oasis. Highly recommend doing it if your firmware is compatible kindlemodding.org Otherwise, Amazon can remote-delete your non-mobi books at any time

I’ve watched this video of Mike Lindell being served legal papers during his TV interview at CPAC a dozen times already! 🤣🤣

For some reason my dinner last night got 125 likes from strangers without any RTs from big accounts So here are Erin’s waffles using my famous recipe* *it’s just Chef Step’s recipe They’re fuckin good waffles Jim

Always amazed that entire generations of gamers mispronounce ‘hadouken’ despite hearing it a billion times in the games So one time: Ha-doh-ken Not Ha-doo-ken

🚨NEW REVIEW🚨 For @comicsbeat.bsky.social I wrote about Batman: Dark Patterns by @danpgwatters.bsky.social, Hayden Sherman, Frank Cvetkovic and Triona Farrell 🔗 www.comicsbeat.com?p=567238

this quote, from Richard Rorty in 1998, stopped me in my tracks

First ever tonkatsu with the spawn, who suddenly decided that they liked it age 18 Crying, punching the air etc, tonkatsu is life

The Daggerheart campaign I’m in is not only great but comes with all the trimmings. The GM knows some lunatic who rents an entire apartment just to house all his TTRPG stuff, including a room-filling custom-built table and boxes and boxes of 3D printed minis

Masayoshi Son to “cross rubicon” and informs shareholders “coming back will be very easy”

John Fetterman looks like when he eats at the dinner table he uses his off arm as a barrier to shield his food from potential threats

Lil tuna melt/pizza experiment today inspired by something I saw from Pizza Strada: tartar sauce, sushi-grade tuna, mozzarella and chives Next time I’ll try searing the tuna with a torch before dressing maybe. This was still pretty awesome

SPACE ADVENTURE COBRA (1982)

Kokuho: The Godfather of kabuki movies? A dense examination of the prices paid for maximizing generational talent (an actual deal with the devil is even implied). Yoshizawa Ryo is transcendent in the lead onnagata role. Long but riveting

I’m releasing a Japanese subtitled version of my special ‘Thief of Joy’ this Sunday on my new international YouTube special. I know there’s AI programs that do it automatically but they’re inaccurate and unartistic so we hired a real life human being.

Superhero comics didn't win on merit. The diversity of popular genres (horror, crime, romance, sci-fi, westerns etc) was decimated by a moral panic in the 1950s, after which only the blandest and most infantile superhero pap was permitted by the CCA. Our industry decended from that.

The immense popularity of “Calvin and Hobbes,” often called “the last great newspaper comic,” can risk obscuring its many inspirations & antecedents. In both style & content, the strip is very well-versed in the rich history of comics and often pays tribute to its influences. 1/12 #CalvinAndHobbes

SGA breaks the record on one of the more bullshit broken-controller buckets I’ve ever seen

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity

Wonder if it bugs Hegseth that he changed it to the very very masculine ‘Dept of War’ yet all the press are pussyfooting around it referring to ‘the US-Iran military conflict’ and such.

That’s one sale in Japan @teganoneil5000.bsky.social

Trying to imagine a non-sci-fi sequence of events that would cause renewable energy prices to spike globally with no timeline for normalization

How different would it feel if the Joker was in the White House, really?

Now that everyone’s paying attention to global energy markets and effects of faraway events on prices and decision-making, is it a good time to talk about the indirect land use effects of dedicating cropland to biofuel production or nah?

As the Orcs breach the Hornburg’s gate, the Horn of Helm sounds in the bright clear air of dawn. Théoden cries ‘Forth Eorlingas!’ and charges on horseback down the causeway with the lords of Eorl’s house and with Aragorn. The sound of echoing horns grows ever louder.

You should really pick this up if you don’t already have it.

I have a theory about Iranian strategy in the war.

we have no rules of engagement and have killed their leader in a missile strike. in response, iran has resorted to terrorism.

Doing a session zero for a new Daggerheart campaign tonight. I skimmed the book a year ago. It seems ok but it doesn’t exactly excite me. Mostly what I enjoyed was the settings, but this game will be homebrew so…

Very good read on our dumb dystopia and emerging Silicon Valley slug person culture harpers.org/archive/2026...

How others see the Icelandic creative industry: "wow, all those writers and musicians, Iceland clearly takes great care of its artists". Meanwhile, today we hear that a generation-defining Icelandic comedian has passed, the report noting he spent decades working in some form of retail.

For anyone who has not seen it, my research, along with the suicide statistics he apparently tried to cover up, show very clearly that Streeting is NOT putting children’s safety first in any way whatsoever. Trans kids are very likely to to suffer trauma well into adulthood, if they make it that far.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

my favorite Olympic sport is DEFINITELY 'the uploader has not made this video available in your country'

Hahahaahhaa hell yeah. The future rules! THE FUTURE RULES!

Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says reut.rs/4rpxDfl
