they are so incapable of seizing the moment that they didnt even notice clippy is making a huge comeback. now, to be fair, if they DID bring back clippy we wouldnt go for it anyway i imagine... but still, you'd think they'd try to score some cheap points, but instead: this!

Amazon’s ability to absorb CO2 is collapsing just as methane release disaster spirals in Siberia. You can bet your bottom dollar the consensus climate models were not built for this. The speed of this change is harshly downplayed by media.
I’m a little skeptical about how well this strategy works because the sellers have no idea why you’re choosing not to buy and frequently take the wrong lesson.

A decrease in sales immediately following an increase in price is probably the scenario where it’s easiest to figure out though.
Yeah Sonic’s whole deal is fighting robots, wtf
From what I can tell this is the same as the Deluxe edition that is currently $90 on PS5?

So... a relative worked as Quartermaster on a military base during WWII. All kinds of sly things going on with supplies, but the one that stands out was that they got a lot of tinned American cheese that absolutely no-one wanted to eat. /1

Tho, to be fair about LRT, as much as I love the rendering tech, the whole premise will definitely make any SEAsian’s eyes roll like a gator in death spin.

One of the most amazing feats of dithering in rendering ever.
Definitely will be watching this.
"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

You know, whatever else there is to say about DC comics firing me, I have to say it felt deeply satisfying to tell a suit, "I get it, it's important to keep the faceless mob of Nazis happy"

Project Gutenberg is one of those places that exemplifies what the internet was initially all about: studying, preserving, and celebrating the arts, especially the written word, and Greg Newby was a huge part of that.

Thank you, Greg, and rest well.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

Neat!

in general, "no purity tests" just means, "I don't care about this issue and I want you to feel bad because you do."
