So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
No, we do not want this fucking BULLL. SHIT.
NO ONE not already serving is going to be swept up & turned into "boots on the ground" for fucking Israel. Fuck this, fuck them, I got dates in fuckin' Reno, maaaan
unlike your mom
HA HA HA HA HA, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH shit
your mom did though
A small village somewhere lost its well water for this
The Stranger Things finale has a huge, multi-stage final boss, and that alone adds 3 points to the overall rating
My one resolution for 2026/Life: I'm 100% quit of the AAA games industry. It's no longer worth investing in their product vs the ever-batshit-increasing costs to run the (usually-mid, anyway) product. Also
"EVERYone in the industry will be using GenAI in a couple years, brooo"
Yes. I believe you.
"CEO of hot new SV babysitting app 'JonBenet Ramsey's Parents,' Bob 'Jimmy Savile' Wilkenson, says AI is here to stay"
Stranger Things: The Next Generation will take place in the 2010s during the height of the 80s nostalgia wave, and will kick off a second 80s nostalgia wave. This sequence of "Linking the Eighties" will keep happening for many eons.
We’re just normal men
When you finish something huge you were working on so bossedly, that the ending credits of Strange Days starts playing out of fucking nowhere

I used to know a bloke who looked/acted ~exactly~ like this, only his skullet was blond. Uncanny
It's a real shame how they turned his character into Mike "Ain't Shit" Wheeler, throughout the series.
I had to look up why they typically build data centers so flat and wide and sprawling, and yeah there are solid, valid, physics-based reasons as to why they do that, that truly have nothing at all to do with "it would be very difficult for average civvies to carpet bomb them" (I was shocked)
This whole thing has my mind in a dark yet undeniably SANE place about purely-bureaucratic "boomer" laws on the books that they still expect the the rest of us "little people" to follow.
Penalty fine for not getting my car inspected? The president fucks kids and gets away with it.
A lot of us are willing to take a hot steaming piss on & hold to our principals, meanwhile you'll be sitting there "but what if I just did thiis? Okay now, what if I just did THIIS with it?"
Think I'll just avoid all your shit. It's better that way. Cleaner. IMO I'm not missing anything worthwhile.
GenAI. Too easy to exploit, & the temptation is too high. We live in the most low-trust era in living memory, & people dancing on their toes about the tech, want us to believe 100% in "the honor system" when they say "we're only gonna use it like for one thing dude"
Think I'll just avoid your work.
For me some of the fun and fulfillment has always been in the discovery and the climb. Geneslop robs that from us
Human nature is what it is: if you're "in for a penny" you're typically also "in for a pound."
Larian claims that there won't be any GenAI content in their final product.
THIS time.
The thing about these things is the needle tends to to move by inches until it is normalized enough where eventually they're just "lol yeah we used it for like 85% of the game, bro" That's the core concern.
I really need to come back here.
He's probably coming to the realization that all that kind of power is meaningless if it's not worth his own life.
I see the malignant engagement farmers from X™ are once again back to stealing posts from more interesting people with only a few hundred followers 😀
My family emigrated to the US in the early 1900's & have been citizens since, so when exactly is the cut off?
That does indeed suck.
