7 years ago I made a DJ set that's just Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters song over 100 other different bits of music (some well-known, some less so) and it goes on for nearly 50 minutes and working on it gave me lasting brain damage

When I think back on the sandboxes of Ultima Online and Skyrim I think: - Big handmade map fully open from the start - Interesting things to see/do outside of combat/quests/levelling - You can mess with objects and NPCs What other PC games could I play to tick all those boxes?

Forgot that I had submitted a question for the Adventuring Academy episode with @itsquinns.bsky.social like a year ago and had a brief moment of concern that I was having a psychotic break when Brennan Lee Mulligan read my screenname

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

throng.cee.wtf i've invented a new way to browse bluesky

tech ceos love to talk like it's impossible to know what the computer will do at any given time as if that's smart and powerful and amazing. the determinism was like, the best part of the computer though. removing the determinism is the opposite of smart. it's stupid

whoaaaa we did a shelved by genre bonus episode "halfway through tolkien" q&a session!!! michael did not make a video promo because he got food poisoning but if this gets one hundred reposts he will post a picture of the bloody eye he got from throwing up so much www.patreon.com/rangedtouch/...

Finally pulling the trigger (so to speak) on a dumbass pistol-grip mouse, because the "regular" vertical I got moves every time I try to click and makes double-clicks impossible.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Those not exposed to a right-wing environment may not know: Lindsey Graham was roundly despised by his own constituency for being a spineless, brown-nosing coward who was equally willing to suck up to Democrats whenever they were in power. He did anything to keep his state's 60% federal surplus.

A guy dropped his water bottle near me on the train, and when I handed it back to him he shook his head, put it back on the floor, and said: “It belongs to the world now.”

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

Among the layoffs was character artist Christiane Meister — a 27-year veteran of Bethesda and (as far as I can tell) one of the longest tenured women in games, period. She worked on Argonians + Khajiit in TES3, horses in TES4 and TES5, Fallout creatures, and more. (cont'd)

This is quite literally the best thing you will see today.

You didn't name the game that just for a dumb joke, did you? Me: youtu.be/XOQBu7GN7sU

We've got a big one today. Almost 20 years after Maxis released Spore, we talked to eight people -- including Will Wright -- about the studio's big experiment.

Okay, so this is massive and we're terrified. Partnering with @play.breakthrought1d.org in the fight against diabetes, the ENTIRE inkle catalogue is on Humble Bundle right now for $20 -- including TR-49, all four novels, both Overboard! games, 80 Days, all four parts of Sorcery! ... everything.

Because I study war and conflict professionally, in the hope that by understanding it, we might have less of it - and the only way to do that is with a grim sense of humor, otherwise you end up curled up into a little ball of horror and depression, unable to function. Although I do that some too.

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City. Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation.

Fascism. Civil disobedience is not conspiracy. ICE agents kill people in cold blood in the streets and get transferred. Peaceful protesters sit in front of a bus and get 6 years in prison. Outrageous.

Also stumbled across a "Dungeons & Kittens" coloring book at my FLGS, and now I'm completely obsessed and have ordered every single thing they make for the game. Eagerly awaiting the cartoon. (Stumbling a lot these days.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7YR...

Stumbled across a dungeon synth album that absolutely doesn't care about the line between genius and madness the other day: potionsofeleanor.bandcamp.com/album/lord-o...

Hey this looks bad! We all have tailored our image posts specifically around the 4 image tile format. Now when you look at my page you get a super different vibe than you used to. This is going to ruin so many posts retroactively.

New books, new camera, new shelfie.

i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

Had to go to Finnish Best Buy so I got to see my favorite SCP
