fuck Friendsgiving. Do Franksgiving where you all dress up as a Frankenstein and serve your favorite recipe with hot dogs

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"

"Hello, lover"

“…and they were astounded by His doctrine.”

"Ode to Billy Joe" too deep of a cut for you people?!

"...That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Switching between a game that has zero fall damage (Borderlands 4) and one that has significant fall damage (Outer Worlds 2) is messing with my head.

Hey #DevOps friends: if a person wanted to get up to speed on config-as-code, where should they start?

This Outer Worlds 2 clip was posted on Reddit with the note: "This tiny moment is my favorite in the entire game, a guard NPC is singing the radio songs to himself." I worked on that mission so heard that clip 100x and it was never not funny to me. Thanks Andrew Kishino for the great performance!

The Outer Worlds 2 (2025): Science Adventures Quarterly, art by B.R. Guthrie "Was happy to be able to add in a little homage to the great Drew Struzan's The Thing (1982) poster art."

In addition to being well written and well acted, Outer Worlds 2 is extremely my aesthetic. Art Nouveau style + Space Age color schemes such as in this screenshot I stole from the Internet.

Yo new phylum just dropped!

I love that type of energy that's like, "Every now & then I just gotta pop back out & remind y'all I'm one of the baddest people walking." This Erykah Badu did that.

Looks like the lady in line ahead of me at Albertsons is having a day:

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

Friends, I'm afraid to admit I have lust in my heart...FOR THESE BOOTS! 😍

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

#3157 A helpful tutorial

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

thanks linus torvalds

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace- What can even be said here? Darkplace is easily among the greatest comedy series ever, it's only a shame that there is not more of it. I quote multiple episodes probably daily, it makes a huge part of my personal vernacular. A beautiful work of pure genius.

“It’s not fascism until its control is total and fear of it is ruling your life” is a take designed to keep you from fighting until it’s too late. Hope this helps.

I had this exact conversation last week completely unrelated to this. How many leaders did we lose?

if you have ever taken photos of pigeons that are unique looking would you be willing to share them with me?

I know basically nothing about weed but I’m pretty sure the first person to sell an edible version of this will make eight million dollars

There's an ai nostalgiaslop picture floating around of a McDonalds in 1974, menu board all absolute gibberish. One item, schloske, is listed as $9.50. Adjusted for inflation that is $66.21 in 2025 dollars. Must have been an enormous fucking schloske.

Re that Alexa ad.... So Amazon wants to monetize me externally while I'm being internally monetized by the game itself? Genius? Madness? Who can tell anymore.

This is empirically the worst

We promised a big announcement today, and it'll take a few posts in a thread to introduce a big one... Project A-ko Perfect Collection 4K! A-ko in 4K is a big deal & this is probably our craziest kitchen sink disc yet, so let's have a quick introduction to what the release will be...

I'm obsessed with Slots & Daggers, the slot machine rogue like on Steam. Very high cost-to-fun ratio! 💖

Nice one, Zadie Smith.

It’s so fun to see the gaming community be excited about the @indiegameawards.gg 💜 these are definitely the good vibes we need and it’s great to look back and celebrate some incredible artistry in every way!
