This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

For the first time in over 30 years, Newfoundland and Labrador’s Northern cod stock has been deemed “healthy” by Ottawa. www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/09/05/i...

I legit struggle with the thought that it will soon be, if it isn’t already, borderline impossible to explain to younger generations that the internet used to be wild and beautiful and that software used to just work

Like, believe it or not software used to just work

Warcraft 3 Reign of chaos against Archimonde. Every faction you have played in the campaign. Never winning just losing as slow as possible. Your forces weaken as they lose ground to the enemy pushes, stagging attacks over the ruins of your old base. All in service of a final phyric victory.

What in y’all’s opinion are the greatest boss fights? Not the hardest necessarily, but the most iconic and spectacular. sword saint isshin in Sekiro and Raphael in bg3 come immediately to mind for me

Person fell victim to the twist in the choose your own adventure book "Inside UFO 54-40", the one that made you cheat to get the good ending, and vowed never again.

some people see books as entertainment and other people see books as wily enemies to be humiliated, outfoxed, and defeated

The game sets you up to feel like you are "breaking" it's mechanics, just to reveal that you have been tricked into getting good at intended designs that would be needed later.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Are the best photos they could find for this smear exclusively ones in which they look genuinely happy together? Or is this just such an alien concept that they think a couple who don't look to hate one another means someones being duped.

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…” archive.ph/2TI8J

I write a lot about miserable game development stories, so it sure was a pleasure to hear that one of the reasons Silksong took so long was that Team Cherry is having too much fun making it and didn't want to stop

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Sorry we got so subtle with the child mercenaries implanted with memory devouring super soldier juice and contracted out for political assasinations.

An important question: Is art video games? Experts agree that art is games. For example, books are RPGs with a linear plot. A painting is just an extraction shooter suffering from terrible lag

Pulling yourself into a room to break the news that your unfortunately going to have to put you on a P.I.P. while sprinting back and forth to be in both chairs.

I have a few core memories that bubble up in times of darkness, almost as a defense mechanism: my parent's faces waking me up on Christmas morning, 1996. The first time a woman I loved told me she loved me back. And of course, that scene from Tremors in Burt and Reba's rec room.
