Algebra, numbers, principles of optics, medical encyclopedias, astronomy, hospitals, surgical tools, universities, coffee, lab chemistry--all of Arabic origin. This mfer had a brain worm, collects road kills, sounds like a dial up modem, works out in jeans. This is a uniquely American arrogance.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Can't imagine working at Xbox right now knowing that there are not one, not two, but three already planned layoff waves through the holidays and into the new year. This is terrible management.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

That’s BS. The Witcher 3 has a free upgrade for people with physical copies, but Microsoft “can’t afford” to?

I’m thrilled to announce that I'm on the upcoming season of The Floor on FOX! I’ll be competing for $250,000, and it’ll air on Wednesday nights starting on 9/23 (next day on Hulu). Not kidding when I say that I studied way more for this than I did during the entirety of my 5 1/2 years in college.

Just a PSA for all the other major publishers: You can’t make a GTA 6. Don’t have any meetings about it. Don’t put together any pitch decks. Don’t preemptively doom your workforce and the industry any further than you already have. Leave it alone.

I've been trying to keep up with games, but I've been going backwards instead of forwards. Did you know if you just keep going backwards, there are still an effectively limitless number of games to play? If I just kept going backwards, I'd still never run out of games to play. It rules.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

Sam Neill should have won an Oscar for this “help I’m being attacked by an invisible Chevy Chase” scene with a stupid looking plastic gun taped to the side of his head

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

For some people, video games are about the wonder of exploring strange, thrilling, action-packed worlds but for me the joy of video games has always been all about moving to a franchise-centric planning strategy to better focus resources on long-term growth and stability amid broader restructuring.

the problem with the games industry is that it makes money in a sustainable way by creating stuff that people want to pay for this is in contrast to how big capital would prefer to make money, by trying to scale fake numbers to infinity using gambler brained investors lured in by impossible claims

Microsoft is laying off 4,800 workers today. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

In 1996, Nintendo was seemingly very fond of a single particular stock photo of the sky, so that it ended up on the cartridge artwork of three different games released in that year: Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Pilotwings 64.
