An idea I've had in the back of my head for a while that I really want to try at some point is a game that's just
One single superboss. You beat it, you win the game, you get as many tries as you want, maybe a little practice room to run around in, but it's ultra difficult.

It's really funny seeing people writing multiple paragraphs to intricately explain to me why Trump is casually talking about annexing Canada and Greenland and how he "doesn't actually mean it" because I get to look at all that and hit them with the "idc" and end the conversation

So apparently Google found a way to obfuscate things even more
"AI mode" button is back on my search bar, last setting is now gone (which was what was disabling it originally I'm pretty sure), not sure if altogether or squirreled away somewhere under different wording but still

So I updated Chrome and Google went and put the "AI mode" button back on my search bar after I went and disabled it (it's enabled in the original screenshot because I forgot but it was disabled)
I love having no agency over my own preferences

Amazon having their own AI assistant is really funny to me because of all the sites and search engines that have one, Amazon's *normal* search function is especially useless for doing pretty much anything useful, so why would I bother asking your chatbot instead

I've posted a few of my game projects to Reddit in the past and the one praise I've gotten consistently is in my spritework.
I think I've genuinely gotten really good at emulating not just the look of old consoles, but specific artstyles in general

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

I think about this section of the Star Citizen Wikipedia page a lot
![Any purchased or rented ship or vehicle can be spawned by the player at a landing zone.[39] Ships can be purchased with real-world funds or at in-game kiosks with earned credits.[36] Rental ships can be procured at separate kiosks for intervals ranging from a few days to a month.[40] If a ship is destroyed, players must file an insurance claim and wait a period of time for it to be delivered.[39] Players can pilot ships both in space and in atmospheres; transitions between the two occur without loading screens in real time.[41]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x532dclb7mgdmmrn3a6ruv2t/bafkreiex3zflcjfj2mhgmrmtwmtgjz6w6rbh4clumce4lrlpch23f6t3fe@jpeg)
