Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

I can’t believe Larry Summers thinks he’s still going to teach classes after this. The students are going to make his life hell.

The middle ground is we boycott games made with genAI, but a studio that made one is allowed to redeem itself by making something else without it.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Oblivion is great because it asked the hard questions, like: “What if you could level up WRONG”
What if going up a level made everything worse? What if having fun interacting with the world eventually softlocked you and bricked your save? #gamedev

I’m only talking about Elder Scrolls here and nothing else. I liked the appearance of Oblivion but disliked the grinding you had to do to level up well. I liked Skyrim because its levelling system was more sane, but its drab colouration. Got really annoyed by the bugs in the game.

Fight the devil and win; better things are possible
The one thing I do appreciate about the US is that no other culture I have ever encountered would produce a folksong where the devil challenges a kid to a duel in an obvious morality play about hubris and then the kid just absolutely kicks his ass and wins the fiddle
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Introducing the Infinity-Year Mortgage. You just pay interest forever! It’s like rent you pay to the bank, and there’s not even a paper thin notion that they’ll maintain the property for you. Also rent laws don’t apply to it.

I blame video games for consistently over selling the player on how easy it is to grow food, how much land you’d need, and how many gold pieces you’d make from selling tomatoes.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

When I was living in the Netherlands I had to go to an office in Den Haag to pick up my residence permit. So in a strictly literal sense European authorities have already sent one American to the Hague. Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done.

“The Titans of Industry always seemed so supportive each time they cut us a check” said Democrats.

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.
