I think this will be true in the future, about our own time too. Stories about tech oligarchs will have them saying "yes AI is bullshit but we need to fool the masses." Future audiences won't accept that these guys genuinely believed we stood on the precipice of Microsoft Clippy's apotheosis

My pet peeve is dialogue like: "Father, why must we sit through this boring ritual?" "Well, my son the prince, you and I know that it's bullshit and that all that matters is the exercise of power..." No! That's the opposite of a medieval mentality! It's not Brutally Accurate!

This is so true - being a trophy spouse is a huge responsibility. You're not only becoming the curator of an enormous estate, you're becoming the forever family of a tiny man child.

Maybe the real moral of Marathon Steve is that the game industry has been so poisoned by the live service model we can't even conceive of someone enjoying a hundred hours of a single-player experience.

Waaaiit. Does the Democratic Party spend resources promoting one candidate over another in its own primaries? If it doesn't, whose time and energy am I wasting by running in a primary?

Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

As an engineer who gets a year older every year, I'm calling for a billion dollars in government funding to research a cure for formerly brilliant engineers like Tim Sweeney getting juiceless and out of touch as they age.

imagine being at MSG watching the Knicks and mfkin James Gurney is next to you, pulls out his plein air gouache set, and just breezily pumps out this masterpiece. like wtf

It's possible to fast travel in real life, but you need to unlock inner peace to do it. Without inner peace there's always an enemy nearby.

Tesla bumper sticker that says "Yes I made a mistake but we're all living through extreme economic precarity; there's no way I can buy another car, especially since no one will buy this one off me."

Charles Dickens had to release a patch changing the ending of Great Expectations after fans complained. In case you're wondering how long this has been a problem. #gamedev

The whole internet loves Disc Horse Bot, the funny bot that likes discs and horses! 5 minutes later: We're regret to inform you the Disc Horse Bot is a pun.

Homer: A mist shrouded the ships, and the moon covered with cloud gave not a gleam of light. Ancient Greek: Hey, quick question: What's mist?

Chase Mitchell@chasemit.bsky.social

It’s extremely funny for a guy who starred in a show where Greece looks like your friend’s backyard to say this

None of this makes any sense.

"Gen-z loves the X-files because they're nostalgic for an imagined time when..." Let me stop you right there. Gen-Z loves the X-Files because "Hot bisexual live action Scooby Doo" is a killer premise.

Oh these are fun! The five jobs I've had in total: - Unlicensed vet tech - Blockbuster - Carnie - Nuclear weapons research - Games

Five jobs I've had and in no particular order. Because it's half 6 in the morning. - concept artist - baker (not a good one) - sales assistant - pixel artist - art director

This feels like the sign of successful intervention. If people's lives had been interrupted less I bet they'd have been way more traumatized by the amount of death that happened.

Boo!-per Lund@cooperlund.online

My takeaway from the pandemic is that people were way more traumatized by the interruption to their lives than by all the death and I don’t think people want to think about that because, man, it’s really uncomfortable!

The initial wave of covid was killing 20% of the people hospitalized with it because we didn't have any effective treatment lined up. If we hadn't interrupted everyone's lives, there'd have been hundreds of millions dead.

I know this AI art looks like shit, but you gotta understand how hard it is to find a public domain image of Christ on the cross.
