"Can you fix my computer"

I mean I can but we're gonna put Linux on it
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.

Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

Picked up my gameboy emulator again, simultaneously discovered the actix framework for Rust

So we're doing an actor-based gameboy emulator now lol

This probably says more about my generation than anything, but I grew up around Christians and have never heard a religious person sing this

This is the Shrek Song, I'm afraid
Whenever i read about the cognition of evangelical faith spaces i remember they sing a sex song at gatherings because it has the word “Hallelujah” in it

Silicon Valley doesn't invent anything tbh, all their innovations are in accounting and scams

Half the stuff we associate with them was created by either the university system or the US military or both lol

Yeah outside of souls type games where the combat system is effectively a flexible dueling simulator, parrying is key jangling

If you still don’t want to leave Spotify (despite the fact you can transfer your playlists to other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE), we ask you not to share your Spotify Wrapped this year.
Spotify is running ads to recruit for the regime’s secret police. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Literally just go on github and steal code. Go on soundcloud, download shit, and claim you made it. Apocalypse Now? You made that, king, you just forgot

These utter fucking pieces of shit

tbh I wouldn't take leftovers home with me if the portion sizes in the US weren't consistently 40% larger than what I want to eat in one sitting
At least use 'le bag du canine' or something, have some self respect

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

Now that more Android gaming handhelds are getting onto the market, devs should consider just porting their shit to Android, without bothering with touch controls if it helps

Right now the best way to play Celeste on one of these emulation handhelds is via Switch emulation, and that's stupid

I really hate that shows now have to do what I'm going to call the Moo Deng strategy. If I'm feeling meaner it's the Gibby Strategy

Just put a little fat boy in there so it does good on social media or some shit, idk. Make the boy Go Viral (tm), if you will
