UFO50 would’ve somehow been even better with fake game cover art like this (common at the time of the NES- see replies for more examples)
Every good NES type mascot character needs a misleading cover art counterpart too imo 💪🛸❤️

At least once a month, Anthropic puts out an alignment paper d AI behavior where, if you saw it in a science fiction film, you‘d be screaming at the idiot scientists onscreen to stop development

Why would I come up with new ideas when I have these existing ones I can just reuse over and over

Love that it's 2025 and somehow still the only way to make the MacOS UI bigger on my monitor is to run it at a lower, blurrier resolution

Top notch accessibility, guys, really nailed it

The next Dem President should kick out everyone in the current WH Press Corps. Specifically blackball everyone who put up with all this horseshit.
I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

Bluesky hasn't noticed the contrast yet! Yesterday White House journalists sat meekly while Trump humiliated one of them ("Quiet Piggy"). A week ago the Miss Universe beauty queens, tougher and savvier, responded to a similar humiliation by walking out in solidarity - and got the official fired. 1/

I’ve been struggling to get back into digital music creation for a while now and it’s not just that all the software is so overwhelmingly complicated

It’s also that all that complication is flattened and inaccessible from the finished product.

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.
