One big problem with the world is how few people in power I can imagine sitting down and reading a book

Super mario bros movie : generic kids movie held up by cameos and references Original mario bros movie with bob hoskins : avante garde cyberpunk film about a dystopian capitalist society bent ln genociding inferior species, brought down by two blue collar men

You know what tho

really the only way humanity is still here all these glaciations later is that tribulations do not end us entirely, too many of us faced with the very end of ropes go fuck it we ball

And to be clear I don’t think that means an entire generation is screwed or full of bad people, in fact I think a lot about the kids who are trying to do their best and be moral in a world that teaches them to be immoral

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

"A senseless, criminal waste" is an apt description of our president.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Hey, so

Can we stop getting mad when a dev 'abandons' a completely finished, complete package of a game?

Not every game should be a 'forever' game.

Sometimes a complete package with a defined beginning, middle, and end is the better outcome

I just want to enjoy good games from passionate devs

The motto of the modern tech industry is "You can just do things to people"

When I was younger, I used to love really emotionally challenging stories.

I don't know if it's just getting older or *gestures at the outside world* but now all I want are stories where it's like "this duck and cat are best friends and these are their adventures ps none of the animals die"

Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

The thing about Jessup is that he is a delusional coward who likes barking old chestnuts about abstractions like "honor" and "code," while it's the JAG lawyers and the enlisted marines who deal in the realities of what an operational military actually involves. So I see why these guys like him

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

The strange psychology when as soon as your game has a start screen, it suddenly feels more real.

The Roberts Court's position is that if you deserved justice or due process you would be rich bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

“Correct me if I’m wrong” what kind of friend do you think I am. I will embrace you if you are wrong, I will support you if you are wrong. I will be wrong with you. We will be completely wrong, together

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

The incels have built a Torment Nexus that hurts them specifically. Interesting choice.

You can't turn a fucking television on without seeing another show about cops or landlords, I don't really know how much farther that knob cranks right

From this article: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-red-wh...

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

I’m so tired of being one of The People Who Remembers The Before Times

ai code is great you can make 50 little gremlins that check in 100x more PRs than you ever could yourself, all with subtle bugs you'll never be able to find when they finally become meaningful!!

we're really going to do Mythical Man Month At Scale As A Service

The simple pleasure of resting your head on a fat fluffy purring kitty

been walking around today with half a bagel with cream cheese and 16 gigs of RAM in my purse. manic pixie nightmare girl

A screenshot of Zelda: A Link to the past. The text reads "The Lost Old Man - Death Mountain"

A screenshot of Zelda: A Link to the past. The text reads "The Witch and Assistant - Magic Shop"

A screenshot of Zelda: A Link to the past. The text reads "The Bully Makes a Friend - Mountain Tower"

A screenshot of Zelda: A Link to the past. The text reads "Flippers for Sale - Zora's Waterfall"

My favourite post-game credits sequence is Zelda: Link to the Past.

It's super lovely to check in on all the weirdos you met along the way.

ever think about how wild it is that we're out here operating planes and boats and cars and computers with a brain and body designed to pick fruit and follow animals really slowly

I have to put mine on a different shelf before bed, then after I take it

And even then some mornings I'm like "was I so deep in thought I just put it back on the same shelf afterwards?"

🤷‍♂️
