Like, this doesn’t even have the “but secretly he was torturing his people” angle of the recent Doctor Doom event, it’s just “strong men create good times, good times create weak men” propaganda painted all over
I’m reading Thor‘s “The Reigning” arc (vol 2, issues 68-74, 2003) and I have to say: what kind of a “socialism bad” BS is this?! Why does Marvel love these “mankind is freed from shackles of capitalism and this is terrible” stories? #Marvel #Thor #CapitalistPropoganda
In addition to the myriad of reasons I hate the Steam review system on principle, I also just hate writing reviews with it
Like, I should do it more often, but really, I should also just write "'s good" and then hit post. No one reads them and the text does not matter, just the stats.
Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman. The text in the Tweet says: SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.
It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.
GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad

Very interesting. I was thinking just hours earlier that genAI is like trying to invent a magic bullet and testing it by shooting our society environment. Kind of like a reverse-witch trial*:
“If this genAI model doesn’t kill the society, it is the magic bullet.)
Don't worry, the President's worst impulses on war are being checked by his advisors who are afraid to tell him that the shoes he gave them are the wrong size
Time for a minor #TTRPG #dnd pet peeve: i cannot stand when people describe ANY edition of d&d as “survival horror.” Survival, sure, especially old-school and/or low-level games. But horror? Seriously? Are people that unfamiliar with Silent Hill and/or its legacy?
I was thinking while watching "in what world is the solution to low egg profits to buy a massive machine with which to murder all your egg-layers" before realising Chicken Run predicted AI with Metal Gear Solid 2 level prescience
I would invite you to Workaholics Anonymous but I’m not a member.
But seriously, don’t let WFH mess with your life balance.
The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it
we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes
When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.
“Everyone is 12”
What a coincidence that i watched this episode today
*taking notes*
i am so happy to realize that it is standing on a tablecloth and not the carpet on the floor!
Yeah 3.5 has a weird mix of “we should keep this [Legacy Rule]” and “it’s a pain point, so it happens very rarely (so much so that people forget it exists)” for some things. Same goes for random encounters.
They should’ve, imho, either sticked to a rule or simply removed it.
new Evangelion content means new Evangelion memes
It is a thing but it’s, by RAW, very rare and I never saw a table run it at all (should we call it rules-as-played?)

it's remarkable how widespread .webp files are on the internet while also being so loathed (by me) and insufficiently supported (by all my software)
Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala
For the RPG folks, this is the architect of d&d5e’s market domination (aka OGL)
He’s a business guy and what’s good for (one) business may not be good for games as an industry.

I truly envy your innocence. Wish i too knew so little about Ayn Rand and their works.
You try to convince us that people *must* vote. But not voting is an action too. You cannot deny people this choice.
This dumb neoclassical cost-analysis approach gives us politicians who think “i can be as bad as i like, as long as i’m better than the other guy,” a literal race to the bottom.
To get a uniform distribution between 1-48:
• roll d100
• if above 96, reroll until not
• half the result, rounding up
(Of course this is more of a thought exercise than a practical solution.)
Thank you for giving a voice to my frustration at people going after those who didn’t vote for Kamala, and NOT who made Kamala the DNC candidate
