Went to a 10am showing of You Can See Everything hoping for it to be empty but it was nearly sold out! So many people are going to be having so many debates this weekend.

The thing that makes me so mad about this is that studios work for years for the lottery ticket game that makes tons of money, and these morons had 2 of them and just shut the studio down because they don't make /enough/ money.

Imagine being the people that squandered both Mass Effect and Dragon Age. How do you fumble that bad?

Researchers in #ScienceAdvances have demonstrated that brief physical contact between healthy and bleached coral can restore algae to the bleached coral, leading to their full recovery. https://scim.ag/4ilLAZq

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

The last few episodes of #CriticalRole Schemers table have been so intense. I love Wick and Tyranny.

Are cats even cuter in the fall? 😭 This is The Queen. Ruler of one of the cat nations warring in our back alley. Extremely sweet and extremely food motivated.

Game devs: How do you feel about Steam reviews once you have a game on Steam? Now that I know how impactful reviews are I feel like I can't leave negative reviews. Even when I think a game is bad or even when it's full of bugs and I'm hard stuck. I just feel like every game should have a chance.

My general stance I tell myself is "well I guess it's not for me but maybe it's for someone else and I don't want my negative review to lose that player". But when it comes to game blocking bugs should refund the game instead? Is that less bad?

just to build on this - as a person, in all things, your actions are more important than your words. if you say you are pro-union and then the OC at your company knocks on your door and you vote no, or worse, campaign against your union, you are in fact anti-union.

Episode Ivy: A Biddy Blas Tale@episodeivy.bsky.social

Everyone in this story saying “I’m pro-union, but we don’t need one here”: There are 10^x of you at every American company. Literally nowhere is the exception. The fact that you think you’re better than your coworkers IS the leverage that the company is using against you and everyone else.

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

Was maybe a little overly ambitious about how much art I could get done over this time but I have at least caught up on a lot of my podcasts.
