A perfect day consists of a cuddled up under a blanket and the Slime Rancher 2 OST playing in the background. (This is scientifically proven fact by Viktor.)

I would just like to say that for fun I just raced ChatGPT to find 200 words of edits in a 1900 word piece and I have already done it and it's still going. So that's the last time I ask it for that.

Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big

Xbox made the certification documents public (this is it takes to ship/pass the checklist/QA to launch a game on Xbox) for everyone; and Nintendo/PS should consider the same. There are a lot of things that if were common knowledge would save hours/money to everyone. developer.microsoft.... #gamedev

I have been a professional game developer for 20 years now.
In that time I have learned many things.
The most important being 'this discourse has happened before and will happen again. If there were a single universal truth, we would have found it by now. This too shall pass.'

THING THE SECOND: There's a Real Stink on Early Access These Days
Obviously if you’re an intensely known quantity (Larian + BG3) then sure, you’ll be fine. But we’ve seen comment after comment about GenExile basically to the effect of, “seems neat but I don’t buy anything in Early Access anymore.”

My brother was living back at home after a failed attempt to move to LA. He was sleeping on the nephew’s bunk bed for a while.
One morning they were over and my brother was sleeping in.
The 4 year old walked into his bedroom and asked “Are you a teenager?”
He was 36.

Updating the "everyone is 12" theorem to add "everyone is 12 and can't read"
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy
