It's important to remember to be yourself.

I dunno man, maybe we should ask the corpses why it's good to notice the signs of fascism sooner rather than later, and why writing a sneering op-ed saying "okay, *now* it's fascism, but I was still right to ignore the signs before" isn't helpful

I ported Super Monkey Ball to a website. You can access it in the replies. (or just type what you see in the video, I'm not your boss.)

Some may be uncomfortable about Leto continuing to get work despite the allegations against him. The unfortunate thing is that Hollywood is a business that cares mainly about profit, so they’re incentivized to keep casting the star of several critically panned box office bombs in a row, Jared Leto

10 years of this shit

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

"For Trump, there are no allies, only enemies and marks—and of those, only enemies can deserve respect... Unipolarity’s over, hegemony is ended, and what’s coming next will look entirely new. The world will be poorer, and probably bloodier, for it." goddamn

People are unwilling to believe this country could actually fall apart. They've been unwilling for the last 10 years. And it's that unwillingness that may well kill us in the end.

This is the calculation many are plainly making, but the reality is that there's nothing stopping the right from trying to wield power this way again next time they're in office. This is a no turning back moment for American governance. You fight it and fight them or the republic ends. This is it.

god, text suggestions on iphone drive me bananas. "hell" is too explicit for you, diving really?

In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

clearly only doing this to get laid but the committment is appreciated none the less

god, F-Zero GX still fuckin rules. I hope that one day I can get a version of it that doesn't have annoyingly sensitive steering that runs at 120fps, but a girl can dream. Maybe this is what finally pushes me to get into modding in a big way.

Many months in and I’m an annoyingly big Godot fan. Just a lovely tool, smartly produced and maintained. Excited to see what the next few years hold for it, and happy to be a part of that community. Looking forward to shipping something built with it.

I think the thing that links the two is the funding. Right now investors are ploughing money into "AI" and will continue to do so as long as the usage metrics are high/growing, and I doubt they're differentiating by use case or company.

Feels like my subscription to The Verge goes up in value each week.

2018: “Tumblr has been removed from Apple's app store because it let some users post images of child sexual abuse.”

Some vibe-coding thoughts: I think the zero-coding-experience vibe coders miss how much of what impresses them when Claude produces what they perceive to be a fully functional app comes from the ready-built frameworks that enable the construction of such apps just by writing some boilerplate.

there's rwby everywhere for those with eyes to see

this is my vibe

I'll sing the praises of Bojack Horseman at the drop of a hat, but its ending is just perfect. The people who say it should've ended an episode earlier fundamentally misunderstand the show and just want it to be edgy. The whole series is so perfect, so real, and so damn bittersweet.

the real question is: is this a better or worse decision than Facebook's rebrand to Meta?

if you were worried that your premature ejaculation is a turn off, try taping this sexy thing to your taint! I suppose it does literally "turn on" but I don't see it improving anyone's sexual encounters.

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

this kicks ass

my understanding is that everything on Bluesky is public due to its protocol, so theoretically anyone could do this analysis if they were motivated

Oh, we also had a decade where video of someone talking to camera was authentic - a real person giving their real opinion, or if they were paid, you could find out who paid them. That's over too, or will be soon enough.

the "is this AI?" question goes off in my head because any highly politically convenient content should set off your scepticism, but honestly? The video doesn't read as AI to me. Maybe I'd pick up on more tells if I scrutinised it more, but I haven't done that, and neither is the average person.

I feel like they forgot to specify *positive* reviews here. Why shop with us? We sell products. And those products? They have reviews.

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

checking out the crypto gaming magazine’s 2026 “most anticipated” list to see how blockchain gaming has been going

it's fun and futuristic to wax philosophical over whether grok can truly be sorry for what he's done but this incident is better understood as a matter of good old fashioned human negligence

The important thing about the ongoing grok thing that I have yet to see properly contextualized by any outlet is: there are multiple people who work at X and multiple more people who work at xAI who can push one button and stop this completely. Why are they not doing this?

To make it clear how good an idea this is: My regular discord, which *loves* to debate genre names/definitions so much that we've developed norms to shut those debates down/kick them into a dedicated thread, heard "Arcade Puzzle" and all agreed that it's a good name for a good genre. No debate!

Let's start a campaign to add the tag "Arcade Puzzle" to games like Tetris, Lumines, Puyo Puyo, Petal Crash, etc on Steam. These games get lumped in with great but completely different genres of puzzle games like Portal and sadly sidelined. Steam users have the power to carve out this niche!

In no particular order, here are some games you could give the "Arcade Puzzle" tag to on Steam

it’s all i’ve got
