We have a perfect Rectangular February coming up, first time we’ve had one since 2015

Maybe this is what finally closes the loop and fixes the world

I sure hope someone has let Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey know, it seemed like they were relying on Salesforce AI pretty heavily

Fuck me, you know when you're reading some news and you get the feeling you're probably reading the page of some future history textbook. Then you imagine all of the students studying it saying shit like "well why did they allow that to happen?"

Bevy Metrics

The Bevy Metrics dashboard is now live at metrics.bevy.org!

For each Bevy commit this tracks compile times, binary size, and runs stress tests on standardized, real gaming hardware. These are all graphed to identify historical trends and track down commits that improve or regress the state of Bevy!

Stoked to share that True Terrors (@strange.website) and I have turned this riff of a post into "Strangers By Spring", a creative project about escapism, romance, and rebirth:

Sometimes it's really good to just sit down and make the things you wish existed in the world.

Oh I was just thinking the other day why is it that they are not making a new Dungeon Keeper. I had no idea a third one was planned & then cancelled! First two were such great games.

Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas.

Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same roadβ€”each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years.

Viva New Vegas. 🎲

damonlindelof I first heard Jimmy Kimmel on Kevin & Bean shortly after I moved to L.A. in my twenties. I was a fan of his goofy honest wit from the jump and I never imagined we would one day be friends. I met him for the first time backstage at the ABC upfronts in 2004... he had just seen The Lost pilot and dug it. He also said, "! hope you guys know what you're doing." In the twenty years since, I've gotten to know Jimmy and if you know Jimmy, you know his incredible wife and head writer, Molly, who is not just his better half but his better three quarters. You also know he is caring and empathic and grateful. You know he loves his country. You know he appreciates a good roast and he can take as good as he gives. You know he supported his crew through multiple strikes and you know he is generous and philanthropic and most of all, you know that he is kind. I was shocked, saddened and infuriated by yesterday's suspension and look forward to it being lifted soon. If it isn't, I can't in good conscience work for the company that imposed it.
If you're about to fire up in my comments, just ask yourself if you know the difference between hate speech and a joke. I think you still do. And Jimmy?
You've ALWAYS known what you were doing. Love you and support you. D

Lost creator Damon Lindelof won’t work with Disney until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

"It must be the wifi" they say to each other over a crystal clear audio & video live link, to a presumably quite savvy audience at a supposedly technical conference

this is great for two reasons

1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly

2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard

4-panel comic. (1) [Roomba next to two people] PERSON 1 to Person 2 with white hat: The Roomba keeps my floor clean. But what do I do when the *Roomba* gets dirty? (2) PERSON 1: Simple: I got a second Roomba and a ramp, so they can clean each other. [a second Roomba takes ramp to be on top of first Roomba] (3) PERSON 1: After the tops are clean, I flip one of them over so they can clean each others’ undersides. [flips Roomba upside down] (4) [stacked Roombas vibrating] PERSON 2: There’s nothing NSFW about this, and yet it’s the most NSFW thing I’ve ever seen. PERSON 1: Yeah, my YouTube DIY video about it got demonetized.
