If music was reviewed like videogames are:
"This metal song has too much drums."
"I wish this song wasn't metal, I like Rap. It should be Rap."
"The song is good but they should hire a new singer"
"The thing is they're using Gibson guitars, they need to switch to Fender and it'll sound better"
Oh shit is that how much it is?! Not that I even have a switch 2, but still
Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Pictured is "After hours Geordi La Forge." He's wearing a velvety cushy soft looking future space guy sweater and he's ready to chillax to the max. Also and always wearing his banana clip looking eye visor. Closed caption reads, "Maybe a little soft jazz."
"Water consumption fears are false and overblown."
Turns out...
Getting reminders in my photo app anout the next day. Fond memories from that time
if you hate cats, you hate me. meow.
It's a good day to wear this shit and know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and when to run because you've pissed off a lagomorph with a gun and a predilection for violence!
6 years ago today I adopted Luna. I went to a shelter to adopt an older cat but passed, she was a little hissy. Before I left I looked around and hiding in a 2 inch gap under a rack of beds I found a pair of eyes. A 7 month old kitten crawled out, onto my lap and into my heart
Happy gotcha day, Luna
🫂 I feel ya, but shit's bad out there
we need to reach some sort of equilibrium with budgets and release schedules where studios can weather flops. we can't live in this "either smash hit or the whole studio goes bust" world, we will never get interesting games ever again. taking risks on weird shit is how we end up with anything good
looking at the GDC talks for this year and this kinda sums it up, huh
This is why the only bug free program is
int main() {
printf("Hello World!");
return 0;
}
Seriously! If 100,000 people at launch play the game for 1 hour each they have done more than 50 full time QA testers could do in a full year. The economics of scale means there will *always* be people finding the edge cases even on the most robustly tested of games.
We literally have a beloved childhood story about a hero who takes from the rich and gives to the poor, but every time we have a chance for an actual Robin Hood, the billionaires convince us it’s a bad idea.
30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.
Twin Peaks Logo Generator Turtle Power!
They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.
just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.
feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
