sometimes when I'm in bed reading or, as I am now, wasting away browsing a tepid little app, my partner next to me will roll over and exhale in her sleep then go "mlp mlp mlp mlp". in these moments I experience pure bliss and I know for certain life is worth living

Hi! I loved this video! To be honest the usual frenetic/chaotic vibe is not for me, but I really enjoyed the thoughtful and calmer pace here. Made me more interested in the games! Anyway, I'm just one person and if you prefer the chaotic style that's great, but just diving a data point hope it's ok!

imo mainstream press calling people pretty (also performers etc) is marketing and opinion manipulation... magazines dictate what being hot means – they'll just frame him as the handsome governor and by the next election he'll be known as such. people don't know their own tastes

I don't know that the BQ is any more present in Quebec than Con is at the national level though, so that doesn't really suggest any particular position in the province

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

quick reshare of this recent post icymi!
I wrote about the notion that games can "respect the player's time", more and more used to discuss any and all types of things in games – and how unhelpful and *pernicious* I believe the phrase is, both from the perspective of players and developers.

Why can't games respect our time?
This lens recently made its way into games discourse; let's unpack all the reasons why it's not just unhelpful, but pernicious.

the official documentation and tutorial is honestly amazing. Much better than unity's imo (and unreal's but that goes without saying)

a street that wide is obviously made for traffic, makes the car an integral part of the autonomous self, and incites in a human both the notion that they should get anything they want with no effort and that daily life ought to be devoid of delight. that's just the plain and simple truth!

any city where most streets are wide enough to hold more than 5 or 6 cars, building to building, are factories that produce big entitled babies. what good are cities if they're not mazes? if you're not constantly wondering what small bookstore or bakery might hide behind the next corner?

maybe it was unmemorable to you because you were at an age / in circumstances that made it so, just as your particular situation made ME2 memorable to you...? not claiming any particular thing here, just saying the initial question can't really be answered

I'm trying not to post about the Horrors too much but this is... astonishing. The obvious parallels, the burst of anger and courage and clarity, the familiarity of the circumstances. fuck, man. left me trembling and sobbing.
Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

I honestly haven't played D&D in years so I'm not too sure how they work (assuming that's what you're looking at)... if your d10 has a 0, you have to treat it as 10 iirc. (if it has a 10 you just add to the % die.) well regardless my take is that no game should require you to roll a % result!
