Hey #GameDev, do me a favor and boost this skeet from @bmann.ca! It'd be great to get the games industry involved in this early verification process. 🥰

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

I’m choosing to focus on the Tigers winning rather than the NBA deciding that the Pistons will not advance to the next round of the playoffs.

It’s kinda funny / harrowing that LLMs didn’t get smarter or less brute-force-y, we just got better graphics cards, and more comfortable with wasting obscene energy on what still remains the most overrated madlibs ever. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-...

Why would Sacramento come out to see a team that not only refuses to acknowledge that they play in Sacramento, but has already made clear their intention to only be there three years and is actively advertising another city on their uniforms? The Oakland A’s deserve better than John Fisher.

One of the happiest updates I’ve written since I started following this story. 12 students back in status and maybe more to come. Across the country, students are saying their SEVIS is back. www.dailycal.org/news/campus/...

The second season of Andor is giving off a lot of Dune Messiah energy. You see, Andor season one and Dune are… well, they’re not exactly ambiguous. But some folks seem to be missing the message. SO, Andor season 2, like Dune Messiah, has the thesis statement of: PERHAPS I DID NOT MAKE MYSELF CLEAR.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Credit everyone who worked on a game. Its not fucking hard. I've managed a credit list in AAA and in indie and it just a spreadsheet that gets exported. Getting a credit has actual tangible impact on people's career and lively hood. Don't be a piece of shit. It's literally free.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Its not just skipping the humanities, ethics and the arts: they are taught that those ways of seeing the world and understanding it are inferior and useless. Ive seen way too many CS students laugh at these fields. They are taught that their way of seeing the world is not only superior, but complete

Okay, it’s pretty wild that four of the five “Must See” games on PlayStation Network are Microsoft-published titles.

A good day of interviews and Oblivion, and I glance at social media and am immediately reminded that, provided we survive the next few years, we’ll be undoing this asshole’s damage for the rest of our lives.

After about three hours with TES4: Oblivion: Remastered, here are my gripes: 1.) I didn't sleep well last night and this will NOT help. 2.) The lock picking feels... off. The pick feels stiff? 3.) This is going to lead to a big pedantic argument over "Remaster" vs "Remastered." This is a remake.

How long until we start to see The Usual SuspectsTM post their ten-minute monetized YouTube videos railing over how The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster is “woke” because it uses “body types” instead of “gender?” An hour? Two? They’re already up?
