Don’t get me started on how they ruined google scholar

Happy Tuesday; don't forget to live deliciously! 😈

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

i put cinnamon on my coffee and proceeded to inhale it directly into my lung before managing to take a sip so that's how this morning is going

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

I yell about stopping AI now the way I did about Amazon 15 years ago and am hoping that this time it works 🫤

A reminder that gas-powered leafblowers are nightmare devices that are bad for you, bad for your lawn, and very bad for the environment. They fume and scream and kill the world all so you can messily and ineffectively move leaves around, leaves which are generally supposed to stay where they fell.

Relatable content for my life

A lot of modern internet discourse feels like people grew up watching YouTubers who exaggerate everything for engagement and thought that was how you're supposed to behave

All great stories share one special ingredient. Epic Fantasy? Steamy Romance? Hard SciFi? Look carefully and you'll find it: someone getting hit with a briefcase full of bees.

Normal nature: bright colors like yellow and red are a threat, this is a danger and you should avoid it Nature for 2 months of the year: yellow and red are soothing colors that make you take a deep breath and feel warm and happy

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

Ok palate cleanse time. In case you missed it, here's my most popular post ever

Listen I'm not a football person but I think you're not supposed to run into your own guy like that

One last push, Ariana is really close to the goal here

hey it's my birthday look at this cool bug i found

Amazing incorrect lyrics on the karaoke machine yesterday

And the sky was made of amethyst.

I did think that was going to be the case, yeah (Not that I trust companies but this isn't my first rodeo on people misinterpreting conditions of service providing)

Not saying I would be caught by sirensong but I would definitely crash my ship straight into a rock if I heard this

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

I was hesitant about the Legally Blonde musical because I love the movie so much and I was afraid any differences would piss me off, but I finally watched the proshot and oh my god, OMIGOD YOU GUYS it is sooo much fun. 😭💕 Obsessed with the Delta Nu greek chorus

I was worried this was a trap but actually yes, go google this instead of whatever else you were about to google

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

I spoke with people role-playing ICE raids in video games to help educate people on their rights and what to do in real-life situations. Tonight, they're holding an event in Fortnite www.wired.com/story/activi...

I don't know which of my kouhais need to hear this, but because I'm seeing this in a ton of commercial J>E game locs: you really shouldn't retain quotation marks in the same places as the Japanese source text 9 times of 10, especially outside dialogue. Punctuation parity in general is often sloppy.

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

Important update: cheese naan acquired

Surprise free game! I took ten games made for the game jam I co-ran with Jacksepticeye and put them into a collection together. Go take a look and let the developers know what your favorite games are! It means a lot to them. :) Link below. Again, totally free!

Once again I spent too much time inside working this week and I desperately need to touch grass. If you see me eating leaves at the park no you didn't

heads up that even if you didn't ever actively intend to do so, a lot of people are accidentally heavily invested in AI right now and didn't notice that it happened, just from the mechanics of how these index funds work. if you'd rather bet on people it may be worth looking into moving things around

Use Rule IX for an impeachment vote. When it fails, do it again. And again. And again. Deny every unanimous consent. Appeal every point of order including ones you just made up. Make every vote be recorded. Be unruly and disorderly. Call Johnson a scumbag traitor on the floor, and then keep going.

due to necessities (bean burrito) caves of qud is $399 now

Kash Patel's personal firing of the Pride flag-displaying employee was always absurd and unconstitutional, so I'm glad David Maltinsky is suing, but, wait. It was a flag FLOWN BY THE FBI that was given to him BY THE FBI?! Come on. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hello language nerds! (affectionate) We're looking for someone to localize the demo for @truthscrapper.bsky.social into PT-BR. Due to grant restrictions, you MUST be based in Ontario, Canada. If that's you, please reach out with your experience and rate per word via DM to me. Thank you!

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Japan choosing to *quadruple* residency fees for foreign residents is absolutely ridiculous. Takaichi’s government is saying, “We want fees aligned with Europe and the U.S.” Okay but Japan is not paying foreign workers EU or U.S. salaries! At ALL.

i'm developing a medieval open-world adventure game in which your character is immortal but has to sneeze constantly, so mostly you just wander the towns and countryside searching for kerchiefs and the like. sometimes you have to acquire oaken buckets or enchanted books to sneeze into

I wrote THREE emails and deserve a treat but I am out of cheese

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives. If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

surprised this gem has not yet graced my timeline

squirrel: *points gun* me: what do you want me to do? squirrel: *gestures at sign* me: alright, i get it *opens book drop* squirrel: *makes hurry-up motion* me: NOT A SQUIRREL! squirrel: *disappears into book drop* me: *whispers* forgive me, keith

This is why it's really imp't for regular folks to speak up, keep calling, and hopefully get wider coverage in media. sex workers and people in the scene can get retaliated against easily bc paypros can shriek "high risk! high risk!" Harder to do that to normies and customers just asking questions

Sometimes Jimmi Pickles gets bored when I’m working and I’ll look up and she’s just in some random place

Really eye-opening piece on Makaton

Hey, since Patton Oswalt was reinstated, maybe Bluesky moderation can reinstate someone who was banned for doing the exact same thing.
