they're ddosing the gears e-day servers because you can choose to have a pride flag banner for your profile and because one of the NPC main characters is a black woman truly humiliating, unspeakable levels of virginity to be racist/sexist/homophobic.

Producing a dozen breathless videos about Nintendo charging $80 for Mario Kart seeming a bit silly now that Sony has announced its ambitious crossover with the Verifone MX925 Multilane Consumer Facing Terminal™

A new Sony patent would let you tap your phone or credit card on your PlayStation controller to make a payment. https://bit.ly/4yNY6q0

ancestry research is fun but also sometimes sad. one of my my great grandfathers died at 22 years old in a freak accident on the docks. his headstone is a two person headstone but it's just been him on there since 1941. just a kid, highly unlikely he's had any visitors since at least the 80s.

TPing a house is like the least bad vandalism - as close to good clean fun as it gets really. it just blows away or melts in the rain, truly doesn't matter. if someone TP'd my house I'd be confused and delighted. 1950s leave-it-to-beaver ass shenanigans behavior.

the opening of Infinite Jest where Hal is in the college admissions meeting and thinks he is speaking normally and coherently but the other people in the room hear it as horrifying guttural noises is an extreme version of what conversations can often be like and so i overexplain and anticipate

and by funny i do mean funny but i also mean vaguely heartbreaking and part of what i am realizing is a lifelong struggle to feel seen and understood

"asking as a point of information and not a veiled criticism but why are you doing it that way?" "thank you so much for this gift i really love it. i also understand that my tone doesn't really change so yes i truly mean it i am actually unironically touched by this i just sound like this"

the funniest part about my audhd diagnosis is that the psychiatrist was like "yeah your adhd is kind of borderline" and i was like "oh so was the autism also sort of a closer call?" and she was like "oh no that was very clear" meanwhile people i know irl are like "idk about that, man"

i hope that everybody gets the experience of driving from state to state to follow their favorite artist's tour for a few shows. it is hard to explain the little community of lovable but likely mentally ill (said in a complimentary way) super fans you become friends with, but it's really so nice.

also if you're a big fan of a certain artist you really owe it to yourself to get there early and stand in line all day and see a show from up front it may spoil you for more distant seats in the future but there's something to jamming out to your favorite music w the person who made it right there

one of the worst things about the proliferation of llms is that longform writing on the internet is basically dead. just a few years in, almost everything longer than a paragraph is AI slop

That's not a one sentence paragraph, it's a revelation - and you're right to call that out.

dave wagner@davewagner.bsky.social

blog post after blog post of these one sentence paragraphs, because that's how chatgpt writes now, all of them using the same five sentence constructions over and over

a million pieces/segments sneering at hasan piker and the co-chair of the DSA, meanwhile a republican congressional candidate in upstate new york named peter oberacker is the grandson of an actual nazi germany soldier and his former staffer was part of the 'i love hitler' young GOP group chat

jesus fuckin' christ - this (the screenshot) is maybe the dumbest post I've ever seen on social media. simply no need whatsoever to self-administer an L this large.

thank you but that won't be necessary, just listen to like three or four songs or type the artist into google!

Based Sonic the Hedgehog, this is my vow to do better and uphold journalistic ethics and rigor when I review the next Brandon Flowers solo album

don't get me wrong, i get that i'm not going to agree with everyone's opinions, but calling an album a bandwagon hop when you're like, demonstrably incorrect is just kind of piss-poor journalism @grantsharpies.bsky.social

implying brandon flowers is doing country music to follow a trend is so lazy it's wild. brandon's country interest has been clear and a country pivot has been expected by fans for years. i mean his debut solo album flamingo features dolly parton ffs www.pastemagazine.com/music/brando...
