As for AI-generated film, Werner Herzog is unimpressed. www.theverge.com/entertainmen...

This is masterful Beautiful Shakespeare would weep

It feels like an interesting choice for Oshi No Ko to transition from a whodunnit to a howcatchem

This @nopunincluded.com look at the logistics of making/shipping miniatures (bigatures) is great. Are customers buying the games or, really, just after miniatures? Are sculptors credited? Is making cards cheaper? Are companies "paying to ship air across the world" ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kNO...

Thank you @loadingreadyrun.com and Coca Cola's vice president of global sparkling flavours for giving @drkuro.bsky.social higher "does the world feel dreamlike or unreal?" than he got from actual ketamine on a clinical trial. May the blesséd Canadians continue to keep us entertained and informed 🫡

It shouldn't surprise me given the glowing review @nopunincluded.com gave it, but Eternal Decks is a superb game. It was so good we played 2 games in a row, and @dexbox360.bsky.social has immediately got herself on the wait list for a copy. The manual does leave a bit to be desired though.

The Empire Strikes Back is a masterclass in sad wookiee noises, sad human man noises, and anyone else who wants to sound like a husky being washed under duress.

Pili is sore from the gym yesterday, and made a noise which sounded almost exactly like Yoda.

yoda's dark side snake emporium is so cool idk where he got so many varieties of friendly lizard, I just wanna chill out with them

It has been great fun watching the Star Wars films with Pili post esketamine.

I rarely remember my dreams, so it's weird that last night I remember one where @auntydonnaboys.bsky.social did I am Sparticus, except everyone said "I am Mark Samuel Bernado", which made the actual Mark have an identity crisis.

NEW VIDEO - YGOTAS Episode 88 - "Porno for CEOs" youtu.be/FczbLCuqyNA We're one duel away from entering the Millennium World, y'know.

I want to like Super Mario Galaxy, but I hate the motion controls. With the passion of a thousand suns.

I am very strange today. My brain was like I don't want to reach over the sofa to put this down, so I should just drop the glass.

Today I did drugs. I started a clinical trial of Esketamine, it was a hell of an experience. I sent @paljus.me many messages even though my phone was on airplane mode, his favourite being "I am very clearly high as balls, lol"

In the several years since Slay the Spire 1, I think @megacrit.com have been feeing the Defect exclusively anabolic steroids and circuit boards. My boy is yolked.

People on my Steam Friend's list are playing things other than Slay the Spire 2. I guess they must not know it's out.

It's out. See you all on the other side.

I am sat, obsessively refresing the steam page for Slay the Spire 2.

It's impressive how bad The Phantom Menace is, just completley irredemably awful at almost every step.

I fucking hate how triggering I find suicide in media.

Finally, a common sense solution that reasonable people can get behind.

Aaaaaa. Slay the Spire means so much to me I thanked Megacrit in my PhD thesis. I'm so fucking excited to rediscover a whole new Spire.

We're live now! Come get yourself some kobolds and, if you so desire, a perfectly normal gentleman!

Well...?

I find American stand up can be quite hit or miss for me, but Night Thoughts from @kumail.bsky.social is so good! Talking about babies, this is my nearly 10 year old baby

I got my Christmas present from @alcides.bsky.social today. I can't wait to chaos draft them.

Pretentious wolf noises: Had the privilege of listening to Bo Burnham's Inside on vinyl tonight. There's something wonderful about having to take the physical ritual effort to listen to a piece, where a primary thesis is the insincere ephemerality of our modern culture and what it's doing to us.

Ghost of Tsushima The Hedgehog

The Man With the Golden Gun With Big Natruals

Slightly diminish a game Imprison the Spire

As we went to the same school, it shouldn't surprise me that @edzitron.com and I overlapped at Games Workshop too, don't know why that came as a bigger surprise. Still weird that we went to the same school though.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

This kingfisher took absolutely everything out of me — 23.5 hours of work! As one of my favorite birds, I just had to capture its stunning turquoise plumage in wool. #kingfisher #needlefelting #woolart #handmade #birds #bird #art #sculpture #felting #felt

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art" There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept. You're using ai for concept art.

I enjoyed it. It was quite darkly roasted, almost tasted like coffee before it gave way to some fruityness, and the toasted rice flavour.

I can't believe that the final Dresden Files book is coming out in 10 days. Let's fucking go!

I think about this video most days www.instagram.com/p/C6HSwMYO3Tl/

People thought this exact same thing with Sherlock. I wish people would stop buying into this stuff. They shit the bed, it happens sadly far too often. kotaku.com/stranger-thi...

Gotta love disability taxes. Since I can't go outside, glasses people are going to charge me an extra 30 quid for the test, plus 30 quid extra on the glasses for delivery and adjustment in home.

Exciting. I’m looking forward to seeing how they all get on.

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

First finished book of the year is a re-read of Children of memory by @aptshadow.bsky.social. It continues to be one of my favourite series, and I'm very hyped for Children of Strife. Wish I could make it to a book event, but since I still can't go outside that seems unlikley. Fucking agoraphobia.

I'm watching Pokemon the Movie 2000 courtesy of @alcides.bsky.social and it really sounds like Ash has a 40 a day habit.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.
