“When gravity falls and earth becomes sky, fear the beast with just one eye.” /👁️\

This will forever be my favourite Giffany photo. I don't think I could ever top this. Hopefully I can bring her back soon!

This photo is of a cosplayer (Cthulouw) dressed Giffany from Gravity Falls. The image has a neon pink tint to it, and the cosplayer is holding their hands in a triangle over their one eye to emulate the visage of Bill Cypher.

Will this chocolate croissant fix the fact that thinking feels like a broken bike chain trying to get someone up a hill? 🥐

Probably not

But I need to make sure

Our indie game at the South African research station? Not on my Bingo card for 2025 but grateful nonetheless 😭

Re-listening to The Witcher books (currently on Sword of Destiny) & I keep getting reminded why I love this series

Because what do you mean I get teary when Geralt, who supposedly has no emotions, hears the names of the sorcerers who fell at the battle of Sodden Hill and begs the teller to stop?

I don't know what the producers on this track were thinking/doing while making it but I need more of these vibes main-lined into me

I've never hyper-fixated on a song before really, but the dopamine this has given me has made me fear the day I lose interest in it

They absolutely cooked with this

Ladies and Gentlefolks, we've done it.

We've dropped our last trailer before launch. And it has a theme song

Many firsts for my first ever indie game I've worked on

3 weeks to go!

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡
A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

screenshot from article. text reads: "When the marketing maestro got down to business, she realized it was going to require a complete overhaul. Ultimately, she spent 20 hours redoing the copy from scratch - and with her $100-per-hour rate, that meant her client was shelling out $2,000 for copy that likely would have ended up being far cheaper had a human just written it in the first place."

While I wish Google would just let me switch of the AI feature, there is a way around it. If, like me, you're tired of the overview popping up try adding "-ai" to your search!

Thanks, TikTok lady who made a video about this!

I went to bed genuinely scared I wouldn't be able to sleep again

But I managed 10-ish hours 🥹 thank fuck

My sincerest sympathies for the insomnia gang members out there. I always knew what it was to be tired, or to struggle to get to sleep. But I always found sleep and rest in the end

Today is the first time in my life that I'll be awake for 24 hours for no other reason than "my brain won't let me"

I have been reduced to randomly screaming AUGHHHH like a metal lead singer to relieve frustration and stress

I'm more worried about my cats than whether my neighbours think I'm mentally ill (not disproven) or in a fight with someone

They're going to start firing people to save their margins as AI fails to scale or provide meaningful growth
www.wheresyoured.at/subprimeai/
It’s also important to note that the hyper-scalers are also terrified of pissing off Wall Street. While they could theoretically (as I fear) start doing layoffs and other cost-cutting measures as a means of improving margins, these are short-term solutions that only really work if they're able to somehow shake some money from the barren Generative AI tree. In any case, it's time to accept that the money isn't there. It's time to stop and take stock of the fact that we're in the midst of the third delusional epoch of the tech industry. Yet, unlike cryptocurrency and the metaverse, everybody has joined the party and decided to burn money pursuing an unsustainable, unreliable, unprofitable, and environmentally-destructive boondoggle sold to customers and businesses as "artificial intelligence" that will "automate everything" without it ever having a path to do so.
