the 3 types of commercially viable videogames
Young woman anime style illustration pointing to a board says I finally discovered the three types of male fantasies. the top one says fight in a desperate last stand against All odds. the middle one says slowly bleeding to death in a snow-covered field. the bottom says digging a hole. each text box has an illustration of people fighting or someone dying in the winter but the bottom one for digging a hole shows the meme of the guys from when KFC had soy nuggets and they look really excited and I think they call them soy jacks but they're both looking at the camera with an open mouth like oh man as they point behind them making eye contact with the camera. the woman is in very tight-fitting clothes with large breasts and hair that goes down past the shoulder, but her eyes look alarmingly open and bizarre. she sort of has fangs now that I notice her mouth. don't know what that's about.

ok but the way the one delayed reaction fish who is no doubt distracted fiddling on his phone or whatever nopes tf out like a rocket when the floaty-boaty bear gently pats it to remind it what it's supposed to be doing in this situation

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

This is so spot on
Ari Drennen @AriDrennen Follow The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they're all like D+40 nxthompson A @nxthompson •22h An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

at this point it'd be a win to see the US even try capitalism where businesses compete by making or doing things enough people want and paying workers enough to do it, instead of our economy being monopolies burning trillions for short-term betting markets on AI hype stealing everything we ever made

I edited the quoted post which is a Getty photo of three Olympic medalist skiers standing on a podium, taking the center guy in a green jacket from Brazil who was jumping up in the air a few feet, which was already very impressive, but I've edited him into Nintendo entertainment system super mario bros so he's jump punching a brick like mario near a goomba and bushes early in the game. see the quoted posts alt text for finer details of the specific men's names and other information.

this valentine's day if you're single rather than mourn relationships that didn't last why not celebrate the bad matches you managed to escape or that never started that may have derailed your life. or, be grateful it made sense while it made sense, and you got out when it didn't

enjoy your peace 🕊️
Super Nintendo Mario game shows Mario crouched down at half height. squishing down his hat to hold himself even lower below an enormous bullet Bill. large flying black bullet that has a face with big teeth painted on it and angry eyes. kind of like the front of an a-10 warthog aircraft. this level has blue polka dot hills in the background and a grassy green over dirt foreground level area.

I fielded questions from hundreds of thousands of new coders for my intro to game programming course. vast majority of errors were typos, they insisted their code was exactly the same as my file. they never had to look as closely before

now if there are typos in a prompt AI assumes and runs with it

For generations, when you learned to program you were constantly being forced to be better at paying attention to the words on the screen. Noticing you'd made a typo, noticing you'd used the wrong argument, noticing shit in general.

Over time, you got better at noticing the words on the screen.

p.s. the rest is also worth reading and messed up beyond this detail

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
