Psst. Hey, come closer. No, closer. I have a New Year’s secret for you. It’s this: If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.

Happy New Year :D Foggy Tree Friends (2025)

I swear this Lemon Pig came out of the same woodwork as the Elf on the Shelf. It’s been a few years for the Elf now, but I have never heard of this pig thing and suddenly it’s everywhere.

More reason than ever to get your spices from Penzey’s

Did I get added to some starter pack someplace? There's been an influx of suspiciously botty looking followers lately with tens of thousands of followers themselves, all of whoms' profiles are only about their political identities and generic shit. . . who ware you people?

OY! Gamers (accusatory) - @yug.bsky.social & cohorts started up @thegameclub.bsky.social - like a book club, for video games. Get a new game every month on the 1st, and then meet up with people to talk about it at the end of the month. Sign up by tomorrow to get in on Jan's game! thegameclub.com

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Stephen Miller is a horrible racist in the sense that he is actually not that good at being racist.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

Watching Sister Act on a whim for the first time in probably decades, and was surprised to see Max Grodenchik right off the bat. Never clocked him before.

PSA: The second season of The Pitt drops on Jan 8th. If (like me), you want to rewatch the 15 episodes of the first season beforehand, it’s a good time to start.

I find it more than ironic that at a time when almost the entire conservative moment is trying to defend their Dear Leader's relationship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker, their new celeb of choice is the wife of a registered sex offender.

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help. I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

Not a bad way to spend the afternoon

Pirate the series. Make your own physical media. That's the only answer when this happens and they haven't put it out any other way.

Fun fact, at our studio "productivity areas" are just places I let my team make stuff without using AI because not only is that proven to actually be more productive, its also (more importantly) far more ethical and meaningful to do so.

Kurzgesagt did a video about their experiences with exactly this problem.

1000% Your placeholders should be hideous enough that they will never pass QA.

Any Animorphs fans here!? (FWIW: I didn't make this, it was sent to me by a friend)

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Bossa Nova!

Bub knows what's up.

Show me how you draw/paint snow ❄️

as predicted, this morning I talked to someone who is vibe coding a game who directly used the rationale that "well larian is using AI to make concept art," as someone who works mostly with people newish to making games I'm preparing for waves of people using that as their argument for years to come

From outside this may sound like an elitist "you poor baby you deprived yourself of knowledge" But no, it's a legit problem. You went straight from point A to point M, but the interstitial steps are SO important! All of those give you information and context. They make you better in the future.

I've had a rotation of Gris screenshots as my desktop wallpapers for years. But I'm always tickled when this one shows up on start up. Love the perfect framing. @nomada.studio

Micron drops out of the consumer biz, driving RAM prices up. Windows 11 recommends 32 gb RAM, but can run on 4 (for a miserable experience). Consumers are addicted to the latest and greatest hardware, but soon won't be able to afford it. Consumers also want more and more performance...
