Because stupid people have no idea what it is, and it's impossible to explain logic to fucking morons..

1986 Australian TV promo for 'Empire Strikes Back'

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

RIP Bobby Prince

It's been a big week, and the response so far has been incredible. Thank you 🤘 https://support.last.fm/t/last-fm-is-now-independent/118591

that's a shame.

FYI ABC news has started posting here.

We are on FIRE. #WorldBollardAssociation🔥

Amazing clip of former Shell employee and now right-wing News Corp blogger Liam Barlett blaming the fossil fuel crisis on renewables (while Australia's energy minister very patiently tries to ask him WTF he means) (for some reason News Corp decided to publicly share this instead of burying it)

Some #TMNT collectibles are too weird, even for me.

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

Extremely rare officially licensed 1992 "Mariovania" mug. While appearing to be a regular Super Mario Bros. mug, the background is actually the starting area of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. What Mario is doing in this location is not explained.

this fucking state

i dont know much baseball, but i know enough to agree with this

"Classic NES Series Trivia" was a Flash game available on Nintendo's site in 2004. The questions were loaded remotely, and could not be archived. Playing the game now results in no questions loading and a purgatory-like experience with blank choices, all of which are declared wrong.

Here are my thoughts on DLSS 5 - the ethical problem with it (I do not enumerate all issues in the video), the visual issues with it (not all enumerated, once again), how I struggle with it conceptually vs. other types of neural rendering and muvh more. youtu.be/5dTTfjBAFzc

I have a colorspace joke but I worry you’ll interpret it the wrong way.

The base rule for the Oscar In Memoriam should be if you were ever nominated for the award - you automatically are in the montage.

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

2014. When social media profile pics were square

Warning: profanity A photo in the booklet for the official 1993 Super Mario Compact Disco album contains a profane shirt in a photo that likely slipped through due to be being printed so small that it requires extreme zooming in to view the swear.

eating microplastics on purpose bc i dont want my body to decompose when i die

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

My Friday mood is Macaulay Culkin dancing and lip syncing to The Contours at one of those make-your-own music video theme park shops as both Ted Danson and his weird ponytail look on proudly. It's a very specific vibe.

this was a very special monologue for me and crystallizes about three years of writing, though obviously so many more words to come

Breaking: Two lost Doctor Who episodes has been found. "The Nightmare Begins" and "Devil's Planet" - both from the 3rd season story arc of The Daleks' Master Plan www.bbc.com/news/article...

To keep track of any film/tv related deaths - there's a Facebook page for that now. Curated by human hand, not any A.I. slop www.facebook.com/obitnews

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team contains various unused test rooms in its files. One of these is the "two dead Luigis" test room, which is identical to the Mushrise Park entrance from the finished game, except there are two Luigis lying on the ground. The Luigis are unresponsive.

Did you guys know I was born at 11:11am? I think that makes me like, more special than everyone else?

Never forget the man who made the moka pot popular had his ashes put in a big one

ten years ago today no one clapped

It’s so funny that Wuthering Heights stars two Queenslanders. POV you’re at Big Day Out on the Gold Coast 2009

Cat wandered in front of the camera during the #aurora long exposure

"a lot of people are posting about the bus kidnapping story, surely it can't be that bonkers" my friends this is an actual odyssey

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

look. in a past life i’ve been screamed at by proud boys & grand dragons & literally they’re all just pathetic, emotionally unregulated men who can’t handle the sound of Anaconda by Nicki Minaj

We’re just normal men
