One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.

The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

What's this? What's this?
There's flame jets on the ground.
What's this?
There's sewage all around.

I can't believe my eyes, it's liquid physics

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

so my wife @lnc0.bsky.social has learned that it is a losing battle most of the time to say "I think you will like this game" and instead will just play the game on the big TV for 5 minutes, knowing full well as soon as fae stops I'm going to immediately mainline it (ballXpit, I'm looking at you)

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

There are writers, creating the most evocative and life-changing art, every single day, and most have never heard of them, because their medium is fanfiction.

Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

I am so weary of that class of extremely online leftists who think being a Serious Person™️ who only posts and does nothing else is superior to being a Fun Person™️ who physically shows up

Aaron Putnam @aaronputnam.bsky.social · 7d

I deleted a post of me in a frog suit with my 7-yr old daughter because a big account reposted, admonishing us for not being serious enough protestors (or something). I shouldn’t have included my daughter in the image, which was why I deleted it. But I was stunned by the condescension.

As October begins, we contemplate how the sea wind had its way with this now-fungal saint.

scary sea-weathered saint on the church near Hartlepool headland (body of saint is heavily eroded down to a veined or boxwork-like underlying structure of the stone, which looks like weird branching fungus).

Little bit of grinding but not aggregious at all for me, much more expansive content wise than I thought it was going to be, you can feel the influence of both botw and dqb on it (positive). Solid and enjoyable timesink

Also for sim and management games specifically, letsgameitout on YouTube does a lot of sim games and breaks them which is fun, and sometimes it will inspire me to pick one up to play it "right" 😂

I've been replying to a few comments so may be dupe suggestions, but I have recs as similar tastes! Slime Rancher, Dragon Quest Builders (2 is the real time sink), the new Fantasy Life, Oxygen Not Included, Cozy Grove
, Cult of the Lamb, song of the deep

Jasper 🍄 @theshrikeabyssal.bsky.social · 10d

If you like Terra Nil (or stuff like Journey) there's a game called Koral which is short but gorgeous.

Jasper 🍄 @theshrikeabyssal.bsky.social · 10d

Klei also had Oxygen Not Included which is colony survival, but longterm it can get wildly crunchy and granular which may be for better or worse depending on how you like to play.

Was going to rec dredge, glad you liked it!
