Today I learned the term "trust thermocline". Similar to the concept of water temperature dropping rapidly below a certain depth, the idea is that once trust in an organization drops below the trust thermocline, it's almost impossible for them to recover. cellio.org/blog/2022/tr...

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Binging Andor this weekend, finally, now that my Disney+ subscription has a deadline.

"you're a great listener" thanks I don't understand when it's my turn to talk

If you see this, QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood!

happy 3²/4²/5² to ask those who celebrate

Today is the 30th anniversary of Hackers

Video games have not been shown to increase violent or aggressive behavior. Reading the process of the studies that claim they do is pretty revealing! #games #gamedev #helldivers

I like immigrants. I like meeting new people who can bring new cool shit to my life. I like exploring languages. I like learning about different cultures. I like exploring interesting foods. So many fun drinks, dances, clothes, tools, myths, techniques and ideas. Humanity should be diverse.

I don’t even care how bad this is lmao

Okay. So, this was NOT on on my Bingo card today.

When you return to a game you’ve completed after a long time away:

A not-so gentle introduction to Orbital Mechanics! 🪐 My longest article is finally out! 📜 80 pages of interactive diagrams, for a deep dive into the fascinating topic of gravity simulations, Keplerian orbits, and orbital elements! 🚀 www.alanzucconi.com/2025/09/04/o...

After far too many attempts at the Can't Cat-tch Me trophy, I have unlocked platinum for Stray.

Stray glitch: Perhaps the cat isn't as analog as I thought

Scored a sweet new backpack in Stray

Was playing Stray and somehow glitched from a ledge up to a roof 30 feet higher. Unfortunately it wouldn't let me explore the rooftops, but it was a fun little detour.

Stray Punk

Happy caturday from the world of Stray

The purring motion controller effect in Stray for PS5 is amazing

Please don't yell at me. Maybe it's possible the power just goes out sometimes.

If you see this, QTP with a game that was released the year you were born.

Will KPOP Demon Hunters: The Video Game be a Rockband-like or a Souls-like?

“In these times we live in, kindness is punk rock.”

just found out the official state sport of Maryland is JOUSTING and I’m sorry my state is cooler than yours will ever be, but you can do fun things too I believe in you

Experienced Wall of Fire for the first time and that's the only spell I'm using from now on. #BG3 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you see this, QTP with 10 games to get to know you by! Baldur's Gate 3 Last of Us Final Fantasy VII Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Mario Kart Pistol Whip Lone Echo Final Fantasy XII Half-Life: Alyx

Why give yourself 2 hours to do something when you can do a last minute oh god oh god oh god 5 min scramble?

Ah, back when Steam was Half-Life and Orange Box

I have a lot of Keanu favorites and Johnny Mnemonic may not be very popular but it has a special place in my memories as long as I don't take a job as a data courier

I was so excited about VRML as a teenager. As someone with no budget for expensive 3D modeling tools and limited programming experience, it was an accessible way to dive into 3D and an easy way to share with the world. I spent hours hand-coding points and polygons for rudimentary models and worlds.

Imagine using WASD to game on this - rarely making forward progress, always getting stuck on side quests or going backwards

- Super Mario Bros 3 - Dragon Warrior - Excitebike - Dune II - Dactyl Nightmare

A single tear slides down my face as I accept the 7:30 am meeting invite

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿 I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮
