One of the more unusual reasons, I think, that I prefer playing games on PC now rather than on console, is that if there are any particularly grindy or vastly enjoyable sections of games now, the capacity to "cheat past it" is so much greater on PC.

I would use it, at this time, to pay my rent, my expenses. Have been unemployed for a year, and now my partner is going through a severe ME/CFS crash, and now that I'm unsure if I'm planning a future or a funeral, the thought of trying to get a job while being a caregiver brings me so much stress.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

PSA: Since a lot of us are entering humidifier season, it's important to note that if you're not using distilled water, there's a strong chance your humidifier will be dispersing minerals into the air. This can be harmful, esp. if you have lung sensitivities.

Making Penguin Festival's VR gameplay trailer was really challenging, but also fun and rewarding. Here's a little postmortem for my own posterity but also in case anyone else finds it helpful!

Something that I often find myself struggling to understand is how so many people can recognize un-fun, undesirable, or outright manipulative design in games and call it out as such... only to then invest substantially more time into the games that do those things.

How devious is it for all these big companies, like Google, to push everyone to pivot to video, only to introduce AI that summarizes videos in text.

Anyone remember how Duolingo announced they were going to become an AI-first company and then have slowly cratered their stock since?

Good times.

To celebrate, here are a few fun stats from our first year together 🌱

Crawling out of my hole to say that I just finished watching Our Flag Means Death S2, and it was honestly probably one of my all-time favourite shows. I didn't expect a pirate show to be so heartwarming, but it really truly was. Bit sad it won't get a 3rd season, but it was delightful nonetheless.

Forgot that Bluesky existed again. Time to add 5 more days worth of videos to my Daily music thread, woops.

American wine sales to Canada have dropped 93%. There has been a huge uptake in wines from Canada and other jurisdictions to replace the American brands.
Way to go Donald.

This sounds fun, why not?

Day 1 - Title screen music

Went with this one because it frequently played during my childhood. It has a very unique sound and style to it, going from somber and alien to strangely upbeat and adventurous.

I often withhold sharing stuff like this because of how doomer/fatalistic it is, but honestly, I feel like the more people are in denial about the potential dangers, the worse off we all are: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKMb...

Welp, today's the last day. Au revoir, Duolingo. It's been a wild ride, but "AI-first" isn't for me.

Something that I miss about computers and internet from the 90s is when friends/family could send you a free cup-holder by email. I'm sure many double takes were had because of those free cup-holders.

I briefly hired Jen as a freelance narrative consultant over a decade ago and she has moved from strength to strength ever since. She's a frigging powerhouse who cares about the medium of games more than almost anyone I know. If you need a writer, y'all should hire her before someone else does.
I am heartbroken. We were making something so beautiful, y'all.

I'm out of a job and I'm having a baby in ten weeks.

I'm terrified.

Randomly reflecting on the class system of the 90s: those who owned a CD-burner and those that didn't.

It's a bit later than intended, but I wanted to reflect on my "Year in Gaming 2024", where I tried out something new. I reached out to a bunch of friends and asked them what RPG (or RPG-adjacent) game I should play for each month of the year. After having gone through the year, I wanted to reflect.

PSA to folks on Microsoft 365 Basic/Family plans, that were just notified of an upcoming price increase:

- Start the process to cancel your account
- Switch to the "Classic" plan
- Enjoy the exact same features you already had at the exact same price
- Yell at Microsoft for being sleazy

@vrchat.com Hey VRChat, it appears the "Copy to clipboard" button from your Avatar pages contains an incorrect URL (uses "avatars" in the link instead of "avatar").

For instance, on this page:
