Huge milestone!

Wow, big bet indeed

A couple of days ago, rather than sweeping I vacuumed a pile of garlic powder we had spilled on the kitchen floor. Now every time we vacuum a little space in the house, the room smells faintly like garlic bread for a few minutes. Overall I think this is a win

me + @kilowatt.bsky.social envisioned a pc98 title called "The Face," a network of dives, hangouts, and joints that serve as the bedrock to the narrative's urban underworld. we're making the soundtrack while @thediad.bsky.social is on the visuals. trying to do biweekly previews!

I was curious about the market value of the Home Alone house in the 80s. According to public record the place sold for 875K in 1989, or ~2.2M in today’s dollars. Gotta keep on the grind, I guess

“Knowing is half the battle.” Ok, but maybe we call it good here? That half was kinda rough

IHOOTERS crossover opportunity

People try and tell me the ihop logo has a nose, but clearly it is smiling while a single teardrop rolls down

Indianapolis 500 but it’s just a bunch of driverless Waymos, winner takes home the coveted “Herbie” in honor of the first driverless car. Is this idea good or great

interesting, I always wondered what happens when someone removes listed content. It stays listed in my library but shows as a “Private” release now and no longer has a page for the album. Can still stream/download.

Pokémon TCGP and Marvel Rivals are two examples I’ve played recently. The endless notifications have the opposite effect on me, I don’t want to explore anything in this interface now

It’s a shame that modern developers of larger games seem to be obsessed with UIs that lambast the player with a million little notification things to click. Please, just keep clicking and never leave, we beg you to

I don’t want AI to make art so I can spend more time doing the dishes, I want AI to do the dishes and then tell me about the major plot holes in the Sister Act universe

Is a video game even a video game if it does not have an official cookbook?

Time to confess that I own one such book

I made a bunch of changes to vastly simplify and reclaim my main email inbox a couple of weeks ago. It’s surprising how big of a difference this makes. Why didn’t I do this years ago?

Outer Wilds, an incredible space game (and just a fantastic video game)(and just a wonderful piece of art), was released 6 years ago today.

The best time to start this game is always now.

It is the long forgotten palette foretold by our ancestors

I think mandatory rarity levels for things in games can be funny. Nothing like that feeling of obtaining a “legendary palette” that is just orange and brown for a cosmetic item

I’m not sure why someone would want a record player that plays audio over Bluetooth only, this seems to defeat the purpose if the goal is to listen to analog audio. I guess if the goal is just the visual aesthetic, then it makes sense in that way?

Nice, I wondered if this one was a renoise. Good stuff

What if the Mandela effect wasn’t real but we all remembered it being real once
