SOL BADGUY stubs his TOE

The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

Oscar the Grouch, but underwater

Distinctly recall Mike of Red Letter Media fame once joking "Jimmy Fallon? The only thing he should host is a parasite" And, well, here we are

What kills me here is that, even if we lived in a timeline where AI was ethical, "hardly sleeping" as you work on this advert for weeks on end is... bad, right? This is video game crunch (which is bad in its own right) for a *goddamn Christmas ad*

I know it's just a coincidence but that carbonated water bursting as the robot falls over is the kind of delightful poetry writers can only dream of

Posted one of my best Quick N Crash times ever today Elvira would be proud

Managed to get my first C# plugin for Dynamics working today which given two weeks ago I didn't know anything about the language beyond "Console.WriteLine("SEND HELP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!");" has me feeling pretty chuffed Mind you, it took a lot of this

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

i semi-regularly think about this concept and way of describing it and crack up. absurd

Ah fuck I dinged again

You guys interested in more stuff I pulled from Ron Moore’s ‘90s AOL chats with DS9 fans? This was in reaction to a Season 5 ep retconning Dr. Bashir’s history. OH NO! The sacred CANON was violated! Ron has the correct perspective (and more patience than I would have.)

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

RIP to Udo Kier! What a cool actor, and he made to 81 too! He’s mind-controlling Soviet dinosaurs in heaven now 😢

This is petrified Gumby

"What if we did our anime subtitles like the departures board at a train station" is the kind of shit that should get you fired

Finished Turn A Gundam which I watched with my partner, and it's like, really fucking good As conceived it's meant to be the culmination of all of Gundams lore and themes up to that point. FWIW, as I see it if it ended up being the last Gundam show ever made, it would've ended on a really high note

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Integer overflows are my favourite kind of bug because they are very often the result of non cynically assuming a behavioural norm/baseline in your user base And then oh whoops, here comes an absolute *freak*

I remember playing the VN of Steins:Gate after I watched the anime and thinking "Wow, I wish the show had the cool pastel like colours, it'd help sell the mood, especially the more nightmarish aspects of everything after the end of the first act" And now the monkeys paw curls into a middle finger

Never forget the all-time greatest placeholder asset, from Doom 64

there is the you that remains that remains and remains #1000xresist

A reflection from yesterday: doing a loser's bracket runback in a fighting game tournament is like inventing your own personal Torment Nexus "The fuck do you mean I have to fight four strong players in a row?!"

LP, LP, ➜, LK, HP. I went back redid my Homer Akuma. This time with synched mouth and tweaks.

Not even becoming a lich is immune to enshittification

Off to a fighting game tournament tomorrow (Drowning Pools!) so naturally I am doping myself appropriately the night before

Finally beat Gold Stake on Plasma Deck in Balatro

Simply insane to drop this shot 3 minutes into a movie

this has to be the single greatest image in the history of sports

First day of new job and surprisingly I have the opposite reaction to I felt starting the previous one As opposed to feeling like I had no idea what I was doing, here my actual fear is what the people I'll be working with are like and the chance I come off too strong and rub them the wrong way

So I watched this video today and I've gone from despising GenAI for its environmental impact / systemic theft / erosion of job security to thinking it flat out needs to be *banned* It is the new leaded petrol and it needs to be fired into the fucking sun www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjg...
