RIP, Walter Koenig.

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

Any actor who signs an AI waiver is essentially committing suicide.

25 years! Everything else in life is a shambles, but the marriage is still good.

i keep getting ads for this very real housing development near me and this name lol no thank you i will not be living in the horror movie murder town, thank you

Oh my: LibreOffice just made "no AI" one of their official features: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09...

incredible treasure trove!

Human contractors are reviewing Copilot users’ prompts and uploaded images, according to internal documents obtained by 404 Media. The contractors are also bombarded with users’ requests for sexual AI images.

one of the most heated discussions on X is about the ethics of a project in which a person is running Saw-like “torture” and “pain” experiments on a series of locally hosted LLMs, sparking a wildly tiresome conversation about AI consciousness and the idea of “model welfare"... time 2 log off

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

I am at EVERY KIND OF OFF

@grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com I don't know if its been suggested before, but I think you need to give Dan Lair PS3 for Blight Club. Motion controls only of course. Cool costume.

About 10 hours remaining as of this post. For me this game is the defining Double Fine game. Every single aspect of the game is crafted with intention; even if you're not into metal, the love that went into this game is impressive. Do yourself a favour and pick this up for free!

Feeling like a genius for looking up Dungeon Crawler Carl images so I can learn I will hate hate hate every moment of this and not waste any money checking it out lol oh so it's just Ready Player One but if Ernest Cline listened to less dadrock and played Portal and Borderlands gotcha

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Always choose a typeface carefully

I have spent an incredible amount of my life reverse engineering some software that's just open source on github right now, it's a slightly weird position to be in

Over a decade ago I wrote about The Cappuccino Index (how long a barista has to work to buy a cappuccino in their own cafe). We revisited it with a lot more data from this year! New Video: The Surprising Things We Discovered In The Cost Of A Cappuccino www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtlE...

Bobby Fingers is phenomenal.

Over 150k and still 8 days to go. 🙏 Thank you everyone who has purchased the bundle. Your generosity helps us support laid off game workers who are facing eviction, have put off important medical care/treatment due to losing insurance, and the like. Your solidarity means the world.

Sound up, you love it.🔊🎶

I dunno man this chatbot stuff doesnt seem to be getting me anywhere

Quadrilateral Cowboy & Invisible Inc are in a cyberpunk bundle together! store.steampowered.com/bundle/82990... I'm a big fan of Invisible Inc, what a joy to be bundled together🙏

“It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%.” Well who could have possibly seen that happening.

Among all the many, many infuriating things about LLMs, perhaps less talked about is the harvesting of physical books. Not to preserve for future, but just as grist for the slop mill. So fuck you if you wanted to buy secondhand books in the future I guess? fossacademic.tech/2026/07/30/p...

Here is how I get out of Youtube copyright claims. I use this general format and it works 98% of the time, I swear (just, y'know, make sure you ain't lying and the video *is* Fair Use, and personalize the dispute to be specific to that video.) ✨You're welcome!✨

I love these idiots

more information on how layoffs have impacted microsoft studios continues to trickle out. today I've confirmed that blizzard china suffered layoffs, and id software lost around half its staff just as it released dlc that required "significant" crunch

On July 8, at about 11:10 GMT, about 99 percent of the world experiences sunlight at the same time.

Look at what Sony is taking away from us

I think given the scale @godotengine.org is now at, this is an incredibly incisive approach to combat generative AI's awful impact on people, code, and communication. Also focusing the ban policy on access & pull requests is a smart way of eliminating huge parts of the problem in a practical way.

“aw yeah nah mate, what i like about her is she’s honest”
