The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

The correct Doom 3 experience is the original one, where you must choose between having your flashlight or your weapon equipped.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Hey.
Wanna see what it looks like to fly past your home planet?
THEN LOOK AT THIS
This is the OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft's view as it swung by Earth on Tuesday, 23 September 2025 from an altitude of 3,500 km.
Look how beautiful that big blue marble is ❤️

I ended up watching this whole thing and really enjoying it. Lots of great points in here. And it also helped me put some vocabulary to why I enjoy the Avatar films so much and am always confused by people completely dismissing them. If you think that sounds crazy, watch the video!
I know this is making the rounds, but I found it super intriguing and it hits on some thoughts about the experience of watching "modern" films in comparison to films from the 70s, of which I've been watching many recently...

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand.
Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on.
Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

New episode! On STS-102 we've got what looks like a pretty simple mission but all sorts of complexities abound. Let's just hope that we don't have to hit that ominous red button on the control stick!
