"I’m grateful to have lived long enough to" play this game, but it's not very good --- this is an all-timer piece of criticism.

Pokemon Legends Z-A’s Lumiose City is too much of a flat wallpaper for me to enjoy. 2.5 stars.

In this review, I reflect on how Pokemon helped me through my cancer recovery, and how today, I hope it learns as I have, that survival is only the beginning.

Review | I’m 44, and ‘Pokémon Legends: Z-A’ makes me feel the walls closing in

“Pokémon Legends: Z-A” injects some energy into battles. But the series has never had a world this lifeless.

I wrote about the essence of language as metaphor and thought as alchemy.

glizzy is a word for hot dog

Words are not real. Words are what we spray onto reality in order to understand it.

One time my dermatologist was out on maternity leave so they moved my appt. upstairs to the plastic surgery offices and I was too shy to touch the breast implant samples in the lobby even though it's all I wanted to do and my wife kept saying do it I didn't do it and I still think about it OBVIOUSLY

Vampire Survivors on mobile is the best video game to play while getting a tattoo imo.

They have great coffee on the sub I guess.

I appreciate that they used to sell me cold brew coffee at midnight when I got off my evening shifts. I also liked the purple lighting.

Cameron gets the benny of the d from me since people are calling photoshop filters "AI" now. I'd be surprised if he was advocating for human-free image generation.

Clayton Ashley @claytonashley.bsky.social · 23d

i rewatched The Abyss last night and it's so frustrating how good James Cameron is at making "big" movies with huge stakes and timeless SFX sequences that still have fundamentally "human" relationships tying everything together narratively... and now he's hyping AI in Hollywood SFX? c'mon

When I say I like the night life I mean I like to go outside when it is dark and listen to crickets and think about cigarettes.

Had a great time talking to @parkermolloy.com about my work on the AI bubble

www.readtpa.com/p/the-man-ca...

The Man Calling Bullshit on the AI Boom

Ed Zitron built a massive following by saying what tech journalists won't: that generative AI is an unsustainable bubble propped up by hype and bad math.
