Mama Possum by Kevin Snow Now, here's a yarn.

I always enjoy telling folks “you should play @bravemule.bsky.social’s Mama Possum, it’s southern-US-based Pacific Rim horror”. bravemule.itch.io/mamapossum

The three mainstream ideologies in western politics are omnicidal turbofascism, pedostate patrimonialism, and palliative liberalism.

"jay" didn't make this website what it is. a self-organizing immune system of posters harassing NYT columnists off the site made this website what it is

anyway shout outs to the time kevin roose crashed out and then quit bluesky

The LLMs are doing what they do here, which is play the hits; their examples are easily digestible mush, devoid of oddity or irregularity. This is like asking whether people prefer a taste of cup noodle chicken broth, or a spoonful of all the turmeric that goes into a homemade soup.

I think what really makes this evident is the LeGuin passage used here, which capitalizes words in a way that, ripped from the context of the novel, very easily seems self-important or silly.

Not that Kevin Roose, a gargantuan loser whose life's work is promoting bad tech, has credibility to begin with. But this is methodologically bankrupt. Prose style exists in context, and highly stylistic prose is something readers are drawn into within the context of the story.

Oh it's Kevin Roose, I should have guessed. Colossal wanker.

Ah, another morning to wake up to and find that the new york times have invented novel ways to embarrass themselves

UNSIGHTED is one of those games I think is really slept on: an incredibly hard metroidvania with a really interesting (and painful) narrative countdown clock which makes what you do really feel like it matters

It feels like a tv show running away from itself. When you sit down to watch you cannot be sure that you will actually watch Voyager or a show that uses the same actors and sets but is not meaningfully about the story of the crew of the USS Voyager.

I think I'd appreciate Course: Oblivion more if Voyager wasn't constantly doing this. There's nothing wrong with purely episodic television but so much of Voyager are episodes that didn't happen – time lines erased by time travel, fake realities, Chakotay's amnesia-inducing girlfriend.

Out of these seven episodes, three basically don't actually feature the crew of the Voyager at all. One is spent almost entirely inside Chakotay's head as he hallucinates, one is a flashback to Janeway's 21st-century ancestors, one is the infamous episode Course: Oblivion

VOY s5e22 "11:59": When I started watching Voyager I was told season 1 and 2 were rough, but for my money this stretch towards the end of season five (after the big "Dark Frontier" two-parter) is the worst material I've seen in the show so far. Just totally aimless television.

We need like, a World Explain to Instagramoids How Useless Their Posts Are To Normal People Day. We need to Raise Awareness. None of us can see this shit!

it's remarkable how we all decided facebook is for scams and low-grade propaganda and normalized quitting it, and yet people will treat it as a requirement for being alive that you have an account on facebook 2 (instagram)

I forgot about time zones and posted this in the middle of the afternoon, most of you are barely done eating your human skin for the day

How was your first day at GDC? Did you catch, kill, and eat one of the other attendees? Were you caught (I guess you won't reply if you were!)? Are you still looking? How's the blood situation on the show floor?

yeah idk why this is shocking. isn't the expected use case that things like gameplay systems and mechanics get written in blueprints?

Oh okay so I didn't realize this but the new Bluesky interim CEO wasn't just CEO of Automattic during its growth period from 2006 until Mullenweg came back, but he also ran it in 2024 during Mullenweg's big meltdown. I believe this is the ideal qualification to take over from Jay Graber

After several intense and incredible years building Cohost from the ground up, I've decided to step back as CEO and transition into a new role as Cohost's Chief Dicksucking Officer.

Oh, it's a *video* on *instagram,* I see, I couldn't tell because again, I can't see any of this without an instagram account and willingness to let mark zuckerberg spray his cookies all over my browser

Like if you're going to news-ify a tweet could you perhaps include the actual quote instead of just embedding the tweet? Allowing the tweet to degrade gracefully to text? Or perhaps including a link so I can click through without changing my GDPR preferences?

The @theverge.com. I think I'm just going to quit reading things online; it's not like it makes me happy, anyway.

What's sexy is, of course, to say video games are in competition with addictive systems built for mass harm, because making video games more like these systems is already what your median EA executive wants to do.

Ultimately this kind of analysis is not coming from a place of "how can we explain what happened" but from a place of "what's a sellable narrative I can construct". Pointing out that the contraction is the natural inevitable force-majeure aftermath of the covid spike is unsexy.
