Almost made eye contact with another human being, I gotta chow down on Tylenol to restore my tism meter

I got filtered by Last Judge. I am not what Pat and Willie would call a freakbeast as it would turn out.

Objectively a goodass game tho

One could hope, but we still have people whitewashing slavery and the antebellum south so I fear empathy will likely not prevail.

A lazy edit of Silksong key art changing the text to "Hollow Knight Simpsons" and making hornet look like Lisa simpson

As someone who owns a working. virtual boy (weird flex, I know), this is genuinely bizarre.

Had the audacity to be too busy to play Silksong within a week of release so now I’ve been spoiled on so much shit by game news articles, yt thumbnails, etc. that I’m no longer excited in playing a game I’ve been waiting 6 years for.

Yea we’ve gotten to a point where abstractions like “files” and their locations is no longer a prerequisite for computer usage.

Exactly. My favorite example is super meat boy, which has gameplay that requires a lot of hand-eye coordination but is perhaps the least punitive game ever made.

The misinformation about LLMs in the general public (people acting like it is or could become sapient) makes me believe we need basic computer science as part of grade school curriculum. It's hard to convey the limitations of these things when most people don't seem to know how computers work.

Yea, the term "difficulty" is a lot fuzzier than many seem to realize, especially when you get into testing the player's mental vs physical responses and what the punishments are for failing those tests.
It's not quantifiable like a game's performance or hardware requirements.

oooogh gnnn grum gooo grrr

Oh no, @draggro.bsky.social ‘s back pics got leaked! /j

A drawing of Henry Mitchell, the smiling, bespectacled dad from the comic strip Dennis The Menace.

Who's the worst cartoon character?

I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics.

It's gonna take a thread.

As I grow older, I find myself wanting to consume content from those who know and do things rather than those who are merely loud and good at doing bits. Perhaps time has become more precious to me.

This isn’t evidence-based, but I feel that as mediums have become less demanding of one’s active engagement, media trends select more for those with natural charisma rather than those with knowledge, skill, or talent beyond being situationally entertaining.

Watched all of the Atari 50 documentary videos.
That company really did just drop some of the best arcade games of all time, create the first viable game console, and then disintegrate.

Alien feels like a franchise where my enjoyment is contingent on explicitly ignoring the concepts of canon and continuity.
There’s like 7 Alien movies, and like 3 of them are good if I’m being generous to Romulus, and Ii gets worse if you count AVP and other weird crossover media.

“GenAI is the future whether you like it or not,” he said, suspiciously not wearing a Vision Pro, nor taking his pay in crypto to spend in the metaverse.

Just so we’re clear, he’s absolutely getting away with the Epstein stuff.

Ah, another episode of “I feel like I’m going crazy because all of this horrible shit is happening out in the open and I’m the only one who actually pays attention”

A three-panel composite from the movie HACKERS, the coolest movie. Dade Murphy: I got a record! I was 'Zero Cool'! Paul Cook: Zero Cool? Crashed fifteen hundred and seven computers in one day? Biggest crash in history, front page New York Times August 10th, 1988.

Happy Zero Cool Day to all who celebrate.
