A couple of years ago we got sort of exhausted about the similar meals for Christmas Eve, Christmas, in law Christmas etc. so now Xmas Eve we pick a country and tell our kid that is where Santa is stopping for dinner so that is what we are having for dinner too.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

A few conversations at #AdventureX reminded me its been 6 years since I ran #pointandclickmas back over on Twitter before *gestures vaguely*. We partnered to give away dozens of games across 24 days of advent from indie developers.
Should I bring it back this year? I'm thinking probably 12 days..

You've played Portal, right? Remember the Companion Cube? LLMs are companion cubes. The only way to progress is to throw your companion cube into an incinerator.
Now. We fantasize and bring to life inanimate objects. Whether it's a teddy bear or roleplay, our minds can create imaginary friends/situations

The tricky part is: the brain can't tell the difference between what is true and what is a fantasy. Really.

And obviously, we tend to believe our brains.

Enter LLM chatbots.
Look at how confidently they speak, how they emulate a friend, how easily people take their coagulated facts as granted.

Emotionally addict your user to your product, so they are unable stop using it. Emotions seems real, why wouldn't one believe the chatbot?

As a budgie owner, I know they can become easily obsessed with inanimate objects or/and their reflections; males especially so. Lonely budgies will seek social interactions, and in their mind, the object becomes their friend and partner.

We think it's silly. But we aren't that different:

there doesn't seem to be a space to make mistakes, to be a newbie. it's one of the reasons why I think frieren fan art meme is great and important. besides the memery, it's a huge protest against it - we all MISSED seeing amateur art because we don't SEE it anymore (algorithms!)

as a certified genAI art hater, I'd like more people to think about what contributed to its rise:

for decades, we've crafted and click-approved an online landscape where there's barely any space for hobby beginners. you compete for attention hand in hand with pros from day one

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Victor Frankenstein sews a bunch of body parts into a monster, brings it to life with electricity.
That monster’s name is Frankenstein.
I mean, what’s the option?
A really long hyphenated surname from all the graves Victor robbed?

Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii sees Final Fantasy X as the ultimate perfection of the series:

"I do like Final Fantasy, though. When I first saw Final Fantasy X, I recall feeling this was the ultimate perfection of Final Fantasy."

Working in games means your answer to the question "If you could do anything you wanted in life, what would it be?" isn't a different career, but the same career in a kinder version of the same industry.

ugh, I have to get a new phone but every new phone sucks and so does every company that makes them :(

After a week-long hiatus, it's time to get back to streaming! Half-Life 2 has been patiently waiting for me, so let's not keep it waiting any longer.

I really admire Samus Aran, because sometimes I too deal with challenges by curling up into a ball.

It's objectively strange that Chrono Trigger is the name of a JRPG series about time travellers dealing with a crisis, and Time Crisis a series of light gun games.

the problem with modern fantasy movies is that they stopped having bizarre plot detours where the hero encounters a fucked-up practical effect creature with a crazy rule like "you can't make any sounds around this thing or it turns you into glass" that exist only to traumatize 8-year-olds
