I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi. Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

The stupid actions of the US have consistently benefit China. So much so that there is a joke among Chinese folks that they wish the US would tariff their soccer team so it could get better. Capitalism is its own gravedigger, and now that effort has just been given power tools.

Im tied to a chair in some damp basement somewhere in the american midwest. The cop slides another Meta Neuroreader headset on me. I immediately fry it by visualizing Karl Franz's warhammer wiki page in a weaponized shotgun blast of autism, wasting $12,000. This is the third time I've done this.

A defiant Mayor Eric Adams, standing in front of a dozen elderly members of the clergy, gives a speech to the assembled media in which it gradually becomes clear that he believes all of the events that happen in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats "really happened, right here in New York."

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

You have to admit, up until the part where it actually happened, a QAnon guy becoming director of the FBI is a pretty funny premise

No! If you watch an old video of Elon, like this 2010 tour of SpaceX, it's obvious that he is physically and mentally almost a completely different person. He's dweebier and more earnest, but his cognition and speech are also way more fluid and coherent. youtu.be/0lJWmhpextE?...

I knew when I saw Kamala lose that libs were gonna go crazy compartmentalizing this one but I am astonished by the way they just are just retreating into fantasy. It's not that the party made midreads, they made perfect reads! And she's president right now, in fact!

A recurring problem for the Democratic party as it exists right now is that the same eight people are calling the shots and they only have so many people in the rolodex, so we get "David Shor, thoroughly discredited strategist, hired to run Kamala campaign"

weird how these stupid fucking knockoffs of "first they came for" including the original always leave off the part where first they come for the queers, because everybody who writes this shit is queerphobic

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

@mcuban.bsky.social mark. consider this. if cost plus drugs expands without needing prescriptions, think of the immense power you would have to reshape society. you could sell us anything via cost plus. we're ready to buy. you can redefine quantities like "bump" and "point" to whatever you want

Phil Spencer that's not how games preservation works, that's not how any of this works: aftermath.site/microsoft-xbox...

I saw the post and I assumed Phil Spencer made a bad take. But god I had no idea how bad of a take it was going to be. This is not just "game preservation doesn't work like that" This is the video game equivalent to Book Burning. bsky.app/profile/afte...

Twitch certainly just decided that archiving your streams is fake, dumb, and bad, and that everyone who's been doing so with their service for years is also fake, dumb, and bad, and will have to spend multiple days in the next month furiously uploading 2000+ vods and archiving them elsewhere huh.
