i am always taken by melancholy the day after Christmas, thinking about the great tragedies of history, like the fact that in his long musical career William Shatner never did a cover of Scatman John's 'I'm The Scat Man' where the refrain was, 'I'm the Shat Man'.

It blows my mind that you can create a startup based on a fucking absurd series of lies and impossible promises, make billions of dollars while companies cut staffing believing the lie, then walk away from the smoldering crater without being guillotined straight to hell

Titanfall 2's campaign is nothing short of a masterpiece, and what a gift it was for all of us.

Such heart, incredible design, impeccable mechanics.

Nearly ten years later it more than holds up, it remains arguably the pinnacle of the genre.

If you've never played it, please do so.

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.

It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

A group called "Robins des ruelles" or Robins of the Alleys claimed responsibility for the heist. The food was distributed to the community in protest of predatory grocery inflation, that is feeding record profits.

"The reaction to the theft has been overwhelmingly positive on social media."

The Steam Deck no longer starts at $399. It's $549 now.

Technically that's because Valve has discontinued the LCD version. Realistically, it changes every conversation about handheld price from here on out. www.theverge.com/news/848595/...
The LCD Steam Deck is done
The Steam Deck LCD is out of stock on the US store and is no longer being produced.

What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Absolum kicks so much ass. I got to the end boss earlier today,got my ass beat! I hope there will be dlc for the game and possibly sequel. The fantasy world of Talamh is cool enough that I would like to see more of it.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
