Making games is hard. On the third anniversary of Alan Wake 2, here's the funniest bugs we sent to the Dark Place. More on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/bh4uFU5f5oo #AlanWake2

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

"The Supreme Court's decision, issued as a brief, one-sentence order, did not offer any explanation, as is common when it handles emergency requests. None of the justices publicly dissented from [the] decision."

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

Bryan Johnson is a tool

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

“Muh-muh-muh-Mamdani is a baller… and he’s dunking on cops!!!” As a hit piece gives me hope

RIP

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

puts a little easter egg in my shaders for da robots

surprised to learn that the file format .docx is actually named after an English novelist.

I don’t care any more about the brains of managers who choose to write their emails and do their 360s with LLMs, though I feel for their reports. But you would think we had learned to be careful with children’s brains after the recent reading catastrophe, and yet. So much money to be made.

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

here it is

had a dream where i was about to try a big bag of wario branded potato chips but then a guy walked by and grabbed the whole bag and started feeding it to his baby in a baby carrier he was holding. i woke up mad but have since come to accept that he simply went for the most wario move

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

For those wondering why this account was suspended: Apperantly the picture the other day of a deer "smoking" a bong was flagged for an "animal safety" violation The funny thing is, it was a taxedermied deer, so its not possible for any animal to be in "danger", and tbh, it was pretty obvious #deer

The wildest one of these I got was a three PDF "press release" rollout from someone who said his ChatGPT sometimes got something wrong and that OpenAI didn't respond to his support ticket and fashioned himself as a kind of big tech whistleblower

this is happening because big tech customer support basically doesn't exist and desperate people are asking ChatGPT what to do. ChatGPT is sending them to journalists

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

This is a great review of a thing that shouldn't exist.

REVIEW: ‘The New Stanford Prison Experiment’ Is Completely Despicable: The New Stanford Prison Experiment is a despicable embarrassment attempting to "recreate" the infamous experiment as a reality show.

I am not aiming this at MY. I don't live in the same world with that discourse. But, I did want to say to normal people that his comment is not sensible. Thank you.

You can put aside socialist-leftist prescriptions about how dangerous that alliance is, if you would like. But everything I read, across the political spectrum, agrees that these countries are connected. It is just civic maturity to pay attention to Brazil's election.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

To be *EXTRA* clear, I was NOT hired. No one was. I'd had conversations w/ both EA and BioWare over multiple years and prepared this music as a discussion item. The response was extremely enthusiastic from all who heard it but MUCH still needed to happen before it was official

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!
