I really appreciate how Endfield gives you a one-line summary of a cutscene if you hit the skip button.
It's a nice way to accommodate you if you ever decide a cutscene is dragging too long, which seems to happen every now and then with gacha stories.

With the price crap coming, I'm eyeing getting an emulation handheld again in case my gaming pc dies or something. Tech device sales will probably be few and far in between going forward.
This one seems to be on sale, and can run roughly up to ps2 level games?

Oh. While I'm looking at space videos, this one is cool too.
It's crazy how at this scale, the way the earth moves makes it look like liquid.

I don't understand how this is even a thing. How can anyone just say they will buy up a manufacturer's entire stock? With money that they don't have, and have no chance of earning?

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

Reminds me of a conversation when I was younger.
Me: Man, I'm getting to the age where all my friends are getting married.
My older coworker: Yeah, well, I'm getting to the age where all my friends are dying.
I never shut the hell up so fast.

It seems that every now and then some guy at work gets so proud of how he managed to make AI do most of his job, without realizing that he's been spewing garbage that everyone else has to clean up for him.
Wow, you use AI for everything? Yeah, we know. And not in a good way.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

I did endgame ffxiv raids with my wife. I can say that this involves doing what are basically trust fall exercises with them all the time.

Well, it is butchering another culture's cuisine, but I suppose pretty much every culture has done that before, often unintentionally.
There's a reason why there's Chinese food and then there's "Chinese food for foreigners", and some people prefer the latter because that's what they're used to.

Yeah I'm not good at trading babies.
I think it's because the game gives you lots of tools for extremely high-risk trades, so if you use all of those tools, you're basically playing russian roulette.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause
What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling
