tfw you are getting drunk with your wife listening to music and a song came on that your friend sent you the mp3 of over AIM 25 years ago

forgive me for millennialposting but being sent an mp3 from a friend hit so much harder than being sent a spotify or youtube link

If anyone else is willing to share Steam Next Fest numbers, please reply to this post.

Let's normalize sharing reality and not "fake it til you make it" culture.

Intellectually, I don't foreclose the possibility that LLM code generation has utility! But... 1. people are making hysterically grand claims about it, 2. software engineers have become catastrophically tone-deaf about the externalities of the tech and the low credibility of their profession

far too brutal picking 9. i could barely do the 25/5x5 one a few years ago

grandia 2. actually good. star ocean last hope......................

did this off the dome and it's not ordered and i'm gonna immediately remember 9 things i wish i had selected instead the moment i post it but alas

listening to blood sugar sex magik and i think as a society we gave far too much attention and reverence to red hot chili peppers cause this album is like bad bad. under the bridge still great tho

Ex-programmers like Bluesky's tech team will insist strenuously that Everything Has Changed and react to skepticism with hostility and insults, while still completely failing to deliver anything close to a revolution to users.

"The KIDS Act is being used as a smokescreen for everything Big Tech lobbyist want, which is a national surveillance program where they can harvest the personal and private data of every American, with zero actual protections."

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

made all the more whatever by it confirming the open secret rumors about what it was gonna be anyway

hahahaha firefly revival? are you serious? a project worth negative dollars, incredible gambit

it was only just recently taken down but i have it saved somewhere lmao

one time kid rock made a youtube video about a tweet of mine

An image of a quotation from Marcus Aurelius' MEDITATIONS which reads: "52. You are not compelled to form an opinion about this matter before you, not to disturb your piece of mind at all. Things in themselves have no power to extort a verdict from you." Beneath the quote, diagonal pink type has been applied which reads; Marcus Aurelius has already released you from the obligation to have a take

I keep seeing so many people on social media obsessed with having a take, in times of crisis. Hell, I've done it too. But remember: You DON'T have to have one.

It's ok to say I have no idea. Also, see image:

Rule number one of being incredibly lazy at work is that if you find a way to automate your tasks you never say that in a place your boss can see or hear which is why, even by their own terms, people that won't shut up about LLM coding are dumb as rocks. "Yeah, that was all me man" is what you say.

imagine 170 years from now folks finishing the last side quest in the hottest new J'RPG to get Nuage's strongest weapon the Doohickey

i think of this tweet so often lol

after dealing with the dermatologist and various "let's try this and see what happens" treatments that had mixed results or long waits for good results over the past couple years, i forgot that sometimes medicine can just work right away. got anti-inflam meds for a bum knee and it got better???

back in The Day, i feel like the 1-2 year wait to hit PC would've pushed so many to buying a console. these days people already wait to buy games after they come out on sale so they are happy to wait for PC release and then happy to wait longer for it to be on sale lmao

I didn't want to make this post but unfortunately my hand has been forced. Sentona Games told me this week, after ignoring me for two months, that they will not be paying me the $24,000 deferred…...

If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you

Obviously has not aged perfectly but Crazy People has some of the greatest line reads in history. S-tier intrusive thought comedy.

Windows 13 rumored to be "collecting hearts released from heartless" in an attempt to open Kingdom Hearts, sources say

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.
