Ryan Cohen gave an interview on CNBC where he looks high as balls, puts negative effort into trying to explain his plan for GameStop buying eBay, and just keeps repeating “half cash, half stock” when asked how he plans to make up a $16b shortfall in the math. youtu.be/NxD-KGsvPI0?...

Silksong data fun: where do people drop off according to Steam Achievements?

We need to get an actual breadbox to protect the bread from Felix who has started to eat all our bread, stymied but not deterred by the fact it’s in a bag

Diablo 4 is simultaneously an mtx hellscape, a loot-gooner power fantasy, and a sublimely conceptualized and executed work of art.

Fun fact: if Firefox crashes with the "restore previous session" page up from a previous crash, the next "restore previous session" will restore the previous "restore previous session" page that will in turn restore the actual previous session.

Why Was I Invited To An Island Off The Coast of Costa Rica By A Genetics Company? (With apologies to Dan Olson)

Saw the Hungarian thriller 'Feels Like Home' at Calgary Underground Film Festival last night. Really good film, definitely catch it if you have a chance.

Check out my conversation with Dan Olson @foldablehuman.bsky.social for Avola Magazine! It was great to pick the brain of a creator I have looked up to for awhile now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pnW...

Due to a scheduling conflict this will be at 4pm Mountain/5pm Central this afternoon

Me and @foldablehuman.bsky.social, for some strange reason, both recently spent some time inside MrBeast's empire. In tomorrow's livestream (3pm Central), we compare experiences and discuss what the heck we think MrBeast is up to. www.youtube.com/live/A6aL9C3...

Every time I go to the downtown library I get to enjoy just how rad the entrance is

I really need to learn more programming. Not tons, but just enough that I can do stuff like "assemble this fixed bit of text with this data cell from a spreadsheet, then this bit, then the next data cell, then this bit"

Overwhelmed with Dan content today?! I am streaming Silksong with @danfloydplus.bsky.social ! The Dangularity! www.twitch.tv/foldablehuman

Pitt episode 15: Dubs for Digby discussion thread

Friday

unmute, this is 100% right

A spanking for the Mikkelsen twins and their horrible faux educational operation Publishing. com. The grift is so egregious that even Trump's FTC declined to overlook it www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

Listen, sometimes when you stop to smell the flowers, it’s a Bradford pear and you get a nose-full of jizz like he pulled out too late, and isn’t that just life?

Dynasty was anti-Canadian discrimination

We are trying to wrap up our big MrBeast video. MrBeast, famously, starts with title and thumbnail. Ironically these have been difficult for us because MrBeast at a surface level is uninteresting. He's blunt, obvious. How do you convince someone scrolling by that you have something new to say?

Pitt thread 14 (and throw in your 12 and 13 thoughts, too)

Listening to MOX, Jon Moxley’s autobiography on audiobook as we drive and had to pause to rant for a moment because wtf is going on in this book.

Back to work grinding that hustle. This hustle wasn't going to grind itself. Picked up a new hustle grinder just for this occasion. It's got a motor. There's a big warning on the side to make sure you secure loose clothing because it does not know or care the difference between hustle and flesh.

It really cannot be overstated that COVID happened, suddenly a bunch of absentee tech dads were forced to stay home where they saw their kids playing Animal Crossing while talking on Discord, then collectively decided to light a trillion dollars on fire to make Snow Crash IRL.

Laid up with something I caught on the way home, no longer sleeping 20 hours a day, but awake enough to get caught up on my YouTube feed.

Yep! I sure did!

No Pitt thread until Monday, saving the episode until I get home

Saw this really neat tower while I was walking around, why isn’t anyone talking about it?

The real problem with Kalshi and Polymarket is that they’re too slow. You can’t put real money on the 34th street McDonald’s ice cream machine working ten minutes before you leave to get a Shamrock Shake. Where’s the platform for relentless degenerate gambling over every incidental daily action?!

PAX East, Boston, we’re doing a Folding Ideas fan meetup in room 109 on FRIDAY at 1:30pm! Argue with me about E33’s endings! Trade pins! There might even be a surprise that could be related to Silksong!? 😳🫣🫨

What I thought for a week now was an evasive rock in my shoe that was surprisingly good at finding the same spot over and over, but only when I stepped off curbs, was actually a tiny finishing nail that just barely went through the sole and thus would only occasionally pierce the insole.

Every time I've opened Steam in the last couple days Silksong has had another tiny update and if Team Cherry shadow drops Sea of Sorrow next week while I'm in Boston I swear to god...

it was so bad i went "fuck it i'll do it myself then"

Pitt episode 11 thread

But I was told it was inevitable!

Sinners robbed of Best Picture, Marty robbed of Best Editing

Triple fisting a wrestling pay per view, the Oscars, and my WoW auctions, I am committed to getting the most weekend out of this weekend I can before I’m back in the studio tomorrow

Who TF invited Rousey to this?! #AEWrevolution

Pitt S2E10 invisible thread

We had a huge shoot this week, rented a studio and everything, and I feel like I owe James a $200 commission for inspiring me to make this, I continue to use it so much.

What are your hotel life hacks? Mine is using towels to fine tune the height of their awful pillows.

The only correct answer to "what's 6÷2(1+2)?"

Pitt episode 9 thread Fireworks amputation!

I am hitting the stress threshold where I have so much to do that doing any of it is a Herculean feat, but at least there’s a coherent end time and end goal, god what a week.

Belated Pitt thread, episode 8 “She can have anything she wants” = a living room full of bawling adults

Laura’s telling me all about how Park Ranger Simulator lets her live out all her petty revenge fantasies about people litter on hiking trails.

Cure albums! Where start? Go!

I'm on my nth playthrough of Silksong, something well north of tenth, and it's still impressive how effortlessly the game creates a pressure to act in Act 3 simply by saying that Shakra is getting tired. There's no associated mechanic, there is no time limit, she never gives up, but I feel it.
