There are a lot of things I love about Tomorrowland and the neon condiment sign in Cosmic Ray’s is definitely in the top 5

@tincanaudio.co.uk Anything you can share about the finale season of The Tower? Been eagerly waiting news to begin a re-listen.

Given how things are going this year, we're like…3 weeks away from Bezos "humbly accepting" the role of James Bond, right?

I've not seen anyone mention yet that—beyond the inflationary issue—sending 340 million people $5000 would cost ONE TRILLION SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS. Which is a little short of the estimated $2B actually in play. But that seems on brand for a place that made a data error turning $8M into $8B?

Garden Story. Free on Epic. Go get it.

Here's an anecdote: I've been testing out a system that allows people to see if their employer matches charitable donations. We needed to see what a failure state looked like, but every company we tried matched donations. Until we thought to try "Tesla." And "SpaceX." 🙃

"After the shutdown, offline features like 'battery level' will still work, Humane says…" The best example they could offer for a feature that would still work is…battery level. Just tell people they now own a paperweight 🤦 www.theverge.com/news/614883/...

This is vile. Lord have mercy. Regardless of where you fall on immigration, posting this as “ASMR” is shockingly snide and heartless. You can almost hear the fetid social media manager cackling and wheezing as they tap “post.”

*decided to play Stardew Valley again* *loads last save* *cannot remember what I was doing or why my farm is an industrial nightmare* *starts new game* *spends 60 hours building my farm to an industrial nightmare* *quits playing* The cycle continues

Marvel Rivals is currently among the top 5 games in US weekly active users across PS5, XBS and Steam, according to Circana's Player Engagement Tracker. It has been a massive hit, and one of the few games that has been able to break through the live service wall. I dunno, folks. I just don't know.

This project from Dom Riccobene is neat! It looks like he wrote a mod for #RDR2 that lets him scan the map? Those scans then get turned into 3D prints. www.instagram.com/reel/DFniQ5X... Imagine having a tile set of little moments from your favorite game maps 😍 #gaming #videogames

Transparent tech is back, baby! www.theverge.com/23774468/cle...

@sandwitchdev.bsky.social Is there any chance we'll see Caravan Sandwitch available on GeForce NOW? partner.steamgames.com/doc/features...

As someone who has only called their representatives a few times before, does a self-crafted statement carry more weight than a canned, pre-written one? As a constituent I'm not sure if the extra effort is of any benefit or if I'll get just tossed into an "oppose" bucket. #oregon @wyden.senate.gov

Somebody please make Disney Parks versions of this. A micro Disneyland map with the train and Mark Twain. A Big Thunder Mountain. A Main Street USA with a tiny parade. A tiny Jungle Cruise or Pirates. #themeparks makerworld.com/en/models/10...

While not worth the price of admission, the Vision Pro is great for working on tutorials. It's really nice to have your computer in the desktop display and then have a tutorial video window flowing off to the side.

Um, is this true? I'm skeptical. I think those cymbal monkey toys pre-dated Toy Story 3. #movies #disney

Why do people feel the need to emphatically announce that they were never able to view Magic Eye pictures?

Red Castle Games in Portland has experienced 10 break-ins in the last 2 1/2 years, with the most recent landing on the owner's birthday 😢 Donate if you can! Gonna stop by and pick up a game when this snow clears ☃️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-red-c... #gaming #boardgames #portland #pdx

Some Disney fans seem upset that It's a Small World is getting a new verse for a limited time. I guess we should be glad it's Richard Sherman's "Last Verse" and not some promotional anniversary addition from Will.i.am or something. #themeparks

Googled how to merge Slack channels. Google AI overview said there's no feature to do so. This was followed by pages of results outlining how to do so in Slack. 🫠

just occurred to me that I haven't seen a single person here celebrating Gromit's birthday today, we gotta step it up

Playing a 4X game on a podium in VR seems like a real neat way to do it. #gaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=lavu...

WHAT. “A rather stunning part of the WSJ report said that a Disney Vacation Club survey this Fall asked guests how likely they were to be ‘receiving/managing an inheritance’ or to experience the ‘loss of a family member or loved one” over the next five years.’” #themeparks

I bet doom scroll meant something way cooler in the middle ages.

Saw a lone guy standing on the side of the road so drivers could see him during rush hour with a giant homemade sign on a giant pole that just said “F&@$ ELON” so that’s where things are at.

Mixing Advance Wars with a board game aesthetic is great. This is something that should totally live on Vision Pro or Quest as well.

There are things I miss about Twitter: - The ability to quickly connect with artists and authors and exchange a few words. - An almost real-time feed of chronological news as it unfolds. - That Little Women clip where someone edited the sound from the opening night Endgame crowd in.

“Why aren’t you cheering Trump & DOGE? I thought you wanted spending and deficit cuts!" Here's my long ranty answer posted on the other site...

I don't love everything about this #rebrand, but giving the "g" its own little digestive track is great.
