#bester #babylon5 #walterkoenig Bester was a tremendous, complex character. I mildly disagree with the villain characterization. Antagonist, for sure. RIP Walter Koenig.
I'm looking at my labeled posts on skytrace.aly.town and almost every one is marked "Rude." I'll take it. I'll take that. That's probably accurate.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

“Sure you guys caused Hitler Jr to have the world’s funniest choke job despite blatant attempts by the US to interfere thus semi-permanently banishing your country’s worst political dynasty from power, but is that really anything?” asks the astute American as a fire roars behind them
Started up @oncehuman-official.bsky.social again since they released a new ocean based scenario and it's been pretty good. It's also verging on comedic the way I have completely checked out of the 35 different inexplicable reward tracks the game has.

I consider myself "experienced" when it comes to video games but I honestly have no idea how any of these random reward tracks advance. I just go through the bewildering number of reward screens periodically and click the highlighted free shit. What did I do to earn any particular thing? Not a clue.

There's over 3k games that have been disclosed as having Gen AI in Next Fest Oct 2026. Here's a link to SteamDB with the AI disclosure toggled to make it easier to ignore them: steamdb.info/sales/event/... We'll get around to posting them here and on the megalist when we can, please bear with us! -E

Also, not to put too fine a point on it, but even if you COULD do this, it wouldn't matter! Studios that produce successful games are STILL shut down DESPITE being critically and commercially successful because the burden of debt taken on by these mega-mergers is not actually possible to offset!
One of the most insightful comments about game development came from a former boss. He said “Making a game is like starting a band. You can’t throw money at a new studio with random AAA veterans and expect it to crank out a hit.” 🧵

Like I know this is completely out of bounds but what a great scene for a post apocalyptic setting. A big ornate university where ancient machines continue to tirelessly act out a scholastic cycle while learning and improving nothing. Fractional iterations of the same texts becoming more and more /

“Young people have already concluded that AI is a mistake. Now it is time for the rest of us to see the truth”: former Google and Facebook investor Roger McNamee AKA @moonalice.com on how the industry’s financial problems may undermine the entire economy www.thenerve.news/p/roger-mcna...

Single board computers allow literally anyone access to a machine more powerful than pretty much anything available to normal people when I was growing up, at 1/10th the cost. Yes it's all more expensive than it was, because of AI market implosion, but an SBC is still viable for just about anyone.
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Far from "driving the energy transition", the data centre boom is swallowing up the mineral resources that were once meant to be going towards building technologies that help eliminate fossil fuels. heatmap.news/am/trump-win...
