i need all discourses about whether ai is actually useful for certain tasks or if not using it is a privilege (???) to cease immediately until they stop selling compute at a multi-billion dollar loss

"only $27" for a grilled cheese and a beer, and it doesn't even include a ticket. the absolute fucking state of things

Dracula is one of the most famous vampires to date...

Over time my feelings on the OSR have moved on from a curiosity that burns like a rash (what is it that they're getting out of this that I'm not) to abject disinterest over the years of never really affectively understanding that

People shouldn't talk about ice cream. I want ice cream

further enshittification of the internet, this somehow went into my spam despite the invite only being good for tonight so i almost completely missed it

even abstracted into hypothetical maths this doesn't make any sense. picking the lesser evil still makes things more evil, just by a lesser amount

One of those days where work keeps happening at the last minute and you wind up working 2x what you had on your schedule

Me when I'm asked if I want any appetizers and I'm going back to my old tricks

I'm sure it's good that over the past several days I have seen multiple vibecoding people say their individual versions of "yeah this is like playing a slot machine for me and I find it hard to stop and I love that actually"

Games are made by people and game studios are made of people but game studios are also made of institutional knowledge, continuity, practices, standards, technology, resources, and IP. And those things do mean something, and it is a loss when they're discarded.

Locktober, No Nut November, what the hell kinda hardware store is this?

Some day, I will find a chill group of people to running Changeling: the Lost for

i bet jack black makes some really annoying noises when he busts

Finished Dietrich's route (4/4). A really good one! Now through the war arc one more time, and to the final part

most terrifying sentence i've read in my life

I've been seeing people complaining about the changes at EA being "maximizing money for shareholders", and it feels like a nitpick, but literally I don't think post-buyout EA is "about" shareholders. I think literally we're looking at some very complicated financial act most akin to money laundering

One time when my nephew was a toddler, he was playing with toy cars and loudly shouted "that bitch broke my asshole!" And I said "excuse me?" And he said "that BITCH broke my ASSHOLE" and I said "one more time?" Anyway, that bridge broke his axle

Imagine you pour your heart out to your therapist and you find out he wojaked you

BioWare was not closed because their games were queer, or bad, or rushed, or too ambitious or anything else. They were closed because EA is trying to raise their bottom line by a couple percentage points and that always comes at the expense of the people who's labour is already being exploited.

you can't judge when bioware was really killed because the mismanagement at the higher level under EA has been so constant and pervasive since the acquisition at every stage that every game shipped at all was a herculean miracle

for everyone who keeps asking if this is good: yes! it means there's now 80 billion dollars out there for us to find. get cracking, gumshoes!!

After an intensely stressful week, fasting plus endoscopy, and getting back to running this morning I feel like I need a ton of protein or something. Somebody should buy me chicken fried steak lmao
