Now and then I love to treat myself to a little bit of preaching to the choir. I know you're not supposed to do it, but it's just so much easier. I'd say I preach to the choir one or two times a week—on the weekend—just to let off steam. I'm not one of those guys who preaches to every choir he sees.

something people don't understand because they get swept up in the anti-AI hysteria is that we'll soon be able to create a sandwich whose meat, bread, cheese, and lettuce can be shuffled like a deck of cards. still think it isnt worth it?

I am starting to regret my "It is currently the year 2025" tattoo.
i played 219 games in 2025; 43 replays, 71 first-plays of games released in previous years, and 105 games from 2025.
its too hard to pick a top 10 of year from so many games so i split my goty list into 4 categories this year to narrow it down.

“This could look like a user asking how much ibuprofen to take for a headache receiving a promoted ad for Advil in the chatbot’s response. Meanwhile, actual results on correct dosage may be brushed to the side, or buried under a mountain of ad text…”
