Medieval illustration of a white Cistercian (Arnaud Amalric) in a grey habit kneeling with a book in his hand. There is a white speech bubble at the bottom of the image.

It’s a material reality that right now the AI tech bubble is holding up the empire. It increasingly powers all commerce, and is central to the most invasive surveillance apparatus the world has ever seen. Predictive analytics trained on our data have allowed billionaires to track us like wildlife.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

There's nothing wrong with Hooters per se, but only a deeply sexually repressed society would be capable of producing Hooters. It's wild that it existed alongside Applebee's and Chilli's. Yeah man let's go to the psychosexual chicken wing place.

"I want to watch sports and eat chicken wings but I also want to constantly be aware that every waitress in this restaurant was hired for her fat tits. No I want them to be clothed the whole time. I just wanna know that like, in the background."

Any upstanding pervert could come up with a strip club. That's good honest fun. But even a normal pervert couldn't come up Hooters. You gotta be a pervert who doesn't even know you're a pervert.

video games are all about meeting a little elf
outside the city gates that says 'ah... the pernicious
weed!' when you give him a healing herb and then
finding yourself fifteen years later saying "ah... the
pernicious weed!" to yourself in the shower

Tears stream down my face. Is this what it feels like to experience victory, purer and more complete than any man has ever known?

God I love that word. I can't remember where I saw it, but there was some video that said "Castlevania got its name because it's a Metroidvania set inside of a castle".

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Remember how I kept talking about the Metroidvania book I had in the works, and then it kinda dropped off the radar? I didn't lose interest. I was just working with a Legit Major Publisher (Dark Horse!) on turning it into the pilot release for a Press Run team-up: www.gamespot.com/articles/exp...

Explore The Origins Of Metroidvania In This New Retro Gaming Book

This new book will explore the history of the enduring metroidvania genre in video games.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.
