Finished Castlevania: Nocturne season 2, feel kind of bad there might not be a season 3, but they clearly wrapped things up enough that it won't feel like I've been left hanging. That's better than a lot of shows get.

I like the idea that they should end the show by establishing a time loop. They lose Santa's Little Helper at some point and the series ends with them getting a suspiciously similar dog on Christmas in the exact same manner as the show's beginning

the entirety of The Simpsons takes place over perhaps 16 months, in a society experiencing rapid social and technological changes due to Springfield being a lost society of 1988 people rediscovered in the 2300s, where social scientists attempt to bring them up to speed without major culture shock

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good.

allow me to be the first person in history to suggest that, maybe, lovecraft had something wrong with him

I get riding the success of the one popular thing you've ever done, but when that thing is a hellhole of online harassment sourced from Literally Kiwifarms, no, I expect you to spend that time atoning instead. Go sit by a river, meditate for a year, and come back and tell me what you've learned

Geno Samuel is posting cwc lolcow shit to his Twitter account to this day, and I honestly cannot think of a person I'd rather punch in the face right at this moment

Had to process a Steam refund for the first time, for somewhat frustrating reasons I'd rather not put anyone on blast for just yet. It feels bad.

what I'd do here, if this iteration of wordle lets you, is intentionally guess a wrong word that involves as many of those possible letters as you can, like... shit, why is the only example I can think of "himbo"? It's not gonna allow "himbo".

I'm guessing someone out there is selling these shirts, right? The internet wouldn't let me down?

Chick tract showing a public school hallway with posters that say free birth control and sexual orientation counseling. There are four students: a guy with facial piercings, revolver, backwards baseball cap, and a shirt with a monkey that says my ancestor. A punk in a trench coat with a shotgun and a shirt that says drugs and has a skull on it. A bald boy in a leather jacket with a knife. And a girl in a tank top with a tattoo of the word sex.

The Baldur's Gate 3 official mod manager made the mistake of allowing mod authors to assign non-exclusive categories to mods, and making "Quality of Life" one of those categories. It is functionally useless, including everything from cheat mods to bug fixes to new hairstyles and character classes.

I feel ashamed that I forgot to include "lag", which can mean quite literally anything: Low FPS, latency between client and server, random hitching, and probably about four other things

Honestly if "AI psychosis" is psychosis then so is your dad becoming a conspiracy theorist after watching Fox News and The Daily Wire for 8 years. It's bad, but it's not *that*

I'd missed this article - wherein experts and clinicians in psychiatry and psychosis argue rather thoroughly against terms like "AI psychosis," saying it accelerates the social stigma and isolation of anyone in mental trouble and assumes causation from correlation www.wired.com/story/ai-psy...

AI Psychosis Is Rarely Psychosis at All

A wave of AI users presenting in states of psychological distress gave birth to an unofficial diagnostic label. Experts say it’s neither accurate nor needed, but concede that it’s likely to stay.

... also, this game stores most of its text in the graphics ROMs.

also "retribution" implies he was wronged in some way by the people he's persecuting, subtly justifying what he's doing. bsky.app/profile/reun...

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

... Did they realize the mistake and fix it in the most baffling, roundabout, and hard to find manner possible instead of just replacing the data???
