I played this game once at a friend’s house and thought it was brave and cool that it had no HUD and the player character vocally announced how many bullets he had left

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

As with any awards show, I will celebrate the Good Winners as positive examples of cultural reflection and understand the Bad Winners as flaws of whatever election process was used, or as the undue influence of capital

:(

Atp no matter how big and how serious the game is they can never actually call it half life 3

tl;dr a man got so many reports of toxic behaviour in Deadlock that the entire game went down. Truly aspirational behaviour

I guess "modern American masculinity is a neotenous emotional state where the culture permits, and even cultivates, juvenile developmental qualities into adulthood" is just a fancy way of saying "everyone is twelve now"

Still hands down one of my favourite cartoons of all time

Happy 40th birthday to Bill Waterson’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. A work of consummate, stubborn, human, and more-than-human art.

Alfred Hitchcock's cure for fascism

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

AI will feel a lot less magical at a dollar per prompt.

Linus Torvalds being unfathomably based

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

You Poppin' My Stones?

It’s crazy how clean Vic’s fit is in this panel while Gar is two feet away lopkin like the jolly green goober

They gone teach him Guilty Gear

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

She gave us the best tweet archive update ever lol

It has a much longer history than that as a completely unironic term in general black american political awareness

The concept of emergency advertising

you know what'd be really funny is if he went back to being cool after this

In my mind, sticking your neck out THIS FAR can only mean something really incriminating exists. They know it and they know it’s a matter of time before everyone else knows it.

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like: saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3 and a worker tier whose emails are like: Dear Jim, First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

the best case scenario here is that trump initiated a shambolic scandalous cover up across the federal government this year for his own political version of Frank on Always Sunny telling people correctly that he doesn’t diddle children but understandably causing everyone to suspect something

This scene still gives me goosebumps

Steam Hardware in early 2026 means it’s not a holiday item, and that obviously means a couple things: -like with earlier hardware, manufacturing is a bottleneck. They’re using the wishlist to gauge volume. -they’re not subsidizing the price like their competition. Don’t expect to see the number 500.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Controllers: Instant cop, I'm getting two Machine: Likely not able to justify if I can find a satisfying way to setup Steam Link with low latency. Sad that the old hardware is giving up the ghost on me. Frame: Should sell my Index first before even thinking about it. Speaking of, anyone interested?

this is a pretty iconic example of how partisanship drives motivated reasoning. maybe Rs did some bad thing...but the real problem is Ds pointing out that bad thing at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, or really at all.

reminded me of a matt groening "life is hell" comic strip about very stupid kid at school trying to come across as a brainiac via slinging insults like 'you are in fact a grade A piece of what is to be known as prime baloney'

charlie kirk’s assassin

Where is the room where these highly paid creatives meet so I can break in and scream that this doesn’t matter

OK, I wasn't driven to weigh in on Oates' masterful Musk takedown until this moment, but this pushes it over the edge into brilliance. "Elon Musk eats shit" "I DON'T EAT SHIT" "Truly I was just expressing general curiosity, as to what would compel someone to gobble shit like a pie eating contest"

my favorite joke in Legion Remix raid finder is to say we're cutting lowest dps

Everyone who said The White Lotus is unrealistic in it portrayal of the wealthy owes us all an apology

Guillermo del Toro declared his Frankenstein would be done “the right way.” His vision departs from the story in ways left me wondering if this is still the same story. New post is up about Del Toro's Frankenstein, cycles of trauma and conflicted feelings over an ending that still made me cry.

SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom. PLATO: Neither do the ignorant seek after wisdom. DARRYL, SOCRATES AND PLATO’S FRIEND: well well well if it isn’t the blowjob brothers

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned
