most of the time you don’t want true randomness and/or simulation in a game. you think you do but you’re wrong and will get mad at us if you get it.

"bro is this fetish art 😭" anything and everything you will ever interact with is someone's fetish. someone wants to fuck clouds. someone's horniest thought is to be a branch on a tree. someone's going to fuck a salt shaker. someone wants to fuck math. someone did. his name was albert einstein

Only 23% of government workers believe they “can report a suspected violation of a law, rule, or regulation without experiencing retaliation.” That's way down form the share the prior year (72%) who said they could report suspected illegal activity without fear www.thebulwark.com/p/two-more-g...

videogame battle royale at anime las vegas! we went so hard lol

damn girl are you 200 goombas? because you are stacked to illegitimate levels

Yesterday (Pi day, natch!) was the grand opening of the Seattle Universal Math Museum's pop-up down in Kent Station. I was absolutely blown away by the response; we had the location full all day long. A ton of hard work from a ton of people went into getting here and it's awesome to see it pay off.

You know, I think I might be a nerd.

The 3 genders

Somebody: “We’re running out of deadly and/or evil things from classic literature to name our product after. What will we do now?” Final Fantasy: “I got you.”

"I know what this is for and have hooked one up in the past, please let me see porn now."

Pure art in motion. Some of the finest fursuit performance I've ever seen. (With the caveat that I don't watch nearly enough!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vyO...

nobody asked for this game but I'm making it anyway 👍🚄

Classic: you fall into a robot city in a dream and have to befriend multiple robots and rewire their innards with logic gates to try and find your way out.

Modern: You buy gacha packs of cards with some amazing art to pretend that you and some friends are I dunno wizards or planeswalkers or something like that in a game so deep you can drown in it multiple times over.

Pardon me; I'm just going to crumble into dust over here...

Furry gunpla.... Kemopla..... of course it is all just furry girls but dang **dang** it is fascinating that they are made with the option to choose just how "furry" you want the kit to be kemopla.com?sl=en

Using a GIF, who's your favorite female game character? The one that sprang immediately to mind:

...I can't. This was released the year after I was born.

One of the best analogies I've seen yet.

Post a banger not in English: Banger opening to an amazing anime series, with a music video that's a banger in its own right. Raw creativity unleashed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=76sN...

people want a Zelda movie to be "what if Ocarina of Time was LotR" when what it should be is an 80-minute anime OVA released in the early 90's with the weirdest plot you've ever seen and at least one original character who was so endearing that it physically hurts they aren't in any of the games

Ann is curious about everything!

Gamedev life: I discovered a 10-year-old bug in how we handle allocating credit for particular types of damage. The fix is a nearly-trivial two-liner, but I don't dare make it for fear of whether the bug is load-bearing on any rewards design.

In case you need more ICE horror stories: they claimed that an immigrant with multiple skull fractures and brain bleeding 'purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall' while trying to escape. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Has anyone hit a thing where Bluesky seems to cut the current timeline off at some point? At least on the web client I see everything going back about 12-15 hours but then it's cutting to posts (not reposts) from a month ago and hard-refreshing doesn't seem to change it. Android client seems okay.

San Jose I am i̵n̵ ̵y̵o̵u̵ staring jealously from a thousand miles to the north!

Before publicly celebrating terrible things happening to bad people, maybe don't just ask yourself if such statements are "fair" or if those people "deserve" what's happening to them... Maybe ask yourself: "Will this help?" and "Is this healthy?" And take a moment if the answer to both is "No."

Last year I decided to try a neat-seeming idea I'd seen on social media: rather than a list of big New Year's Resolutions I'd do 'resolution bingo': a 5x5 grid of resolutions:some easy, some a little more challenging. Overall I think it turned out remarkably well.

Just did this and I know there are a lot more Washingtonians out there. I'd suggest emphasizing (especially if your representative is a Democrat) that these bills inevitably lead to queer youth being denied access to critical online resources.

Slightly diminish a band: They're Probably Not Giants

I can't believe it took me multiple years (and lewd fan art) to realize that King Joe is basically just a Katamari cousin.

Doing the 'US Level' thing from tenpages.github.io/us-level/us.... . There's some measure of fudging between 'stayed here' and 'visited here', since many of my stays in places were _for_ visits. Most of the Great Plains areas are thanks to a Scouting trip to Philmont that was a US tour.

Hey lazyweb: does anyone have any favorite software for specifically straightening out page photos? i.e., de-trapezoiding, undoing spine curl, things like that. Ideally free/fairly inexpensive.

Why yes, this *is* a 1979 Wisconsin church cookbook. How could you tell?

Winding down the year with a little humility and/or humiliation: what's the worst photo of yourself you have handy? I promise you I am trying to smile here.

The world 7 of Super Mario Bros 3, Pipe Land, is actually 3 little islands in the shapes of 3 pipes, reference to Super Mario Bros secret pipes zones. Discovered that few years ago and it still blows my mind.

I'm not sure if I'm even more scared or vaguely grateful that I just barely missed out on "The Empire Strikes Back" to wind up with this instead.

"And in despair, I bowed my head 'There is no peace on earth,' I said. 'For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.'"

This video's maybe the best I've seen at directly showing the impact of the flooding out here. This is at the edge of a small town (Duvall) about 15-20 miles northeast of downtown Seattle. Most of what you see flooded here is farmland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BT9...

You know who you are. <3

Looking at AI summaries of things you know is like reading news reports on events or topics you have firsthand experience with, only magnified 1000x.

Seattle(*) is riding the next wave of Little Libraries:

I won't even miss the green bean casserole. Not that there's anything wrong with beans or casseroles, but there are so many better ways of getting tasty veggies at Thanksgiving.

If ever there were a pose begging for a 'draw your OC like this' challenge...

I'm out of practice with these but every now and then I like to indulge. Apologies for the terrible Japanese. 寒くても 雨が降っても 好きな秋
