It’s out?! I know what I’m getting for myself as a reward.

Please be a good Eldar novel, please be a good Eldar novel…

RIP my high school days.

boy it would be nice to have an opposition party reacting to this in a way that suggests there’s going to be justice for it someday

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Amazing.

I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

I was reading someone’s softcover yesterday and I’m worried I’m going to get obsessed. The character creator system tickles something in my brain in just the right spot.

A party horror game? What could go wrong?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Bummer - 3 and a half years after building it, my first woodworking project is kaput.

12 foot bridge over the drainage stream got a crack in it along where the screws went, and the edges embedded in the ground had started to rot.

Only get better by trying, failing, and rebuilding. Take two soon!

The autumn sale got me so badly, damnit.

That's some great landscape photography! I always struggle to feel like I can get the depth and scale to look correct when I try to do it, and here I can really feel the size of the area.

This actual quote has been stuck in my brain for months.

“August 2, 1914: Germany has declared war on Russia. Went swimming in the afternoon.”
-Franz Kafka

The joke about *Marching in place intensifies* with like 5 songs from this game lives forever in my mind.

I JUST beat this for our yearly finish the backlog month! Been meaning to. Did the pixel remaster - having quick save made it possible!

Someone got me Final Fantasy Tactics for my birthday month - probably my favorite game and one of my most formative. It taught me games could be art and have a message.

To celebrate, showing off a favorite convention purchase from years ago - Rembrandt, eat your heart out.

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

I usually get a big dose of depression in the weeks before my birthday. A sense of not having done enough, not having reached enough goals.

It’s the big 4-0 coming up, and so that sense of “have I really done anything ever?” is real damn strong.

I know it’ll fade, but it sucks.

AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations”

Proud of people for telling google to fuck off. Let's do this again but for indigenous communities? That would help.

He gets it.

10 year old me just screamed with delight.

30s year old me just screamed with delight! Animorphs brings me back to hiding in the corner of a library reading as fast as I can.
