To the porch pirates who stole my shit over Thanksgiving, I hope you enjoy your low carb noodles and the planner and pens my friend helped me pick out and sent to me. It was for therapy, but w/e. Absolutely worthless to you but it meant something to me and it's not really replaceable. Get fucked.

As far as I’m concerned, December is going to be a month of laying the groundwork and gathering strength, so I can hit the ground running with the three books I hope to write in 2026.

"“It’s characterised by intrusive thoughts, emotional dependency and a powerful desire for reciprocation,” she explains. “Unlike ordinary attraction or infatuation, limerence involves obsession, emotional volatility and disruption to daily life.”"

I was excited when I saw this article's tagline but sadly the article says the first step in deprogramming Trump followers is for Trump to be removed from his influential position, and it sure seems like that ain't happening any time soon

I am not a dub fan but I saw a clip of the AI "dubbed" anime and it was the worst garbage imaginable, worse than any human dubbed effort ever.
Amazon has rolled out AI dubbed anime and I’m truly appalled. Like it or loathe it, the medium has a rich, incredible history of English performances. There’s already a million reasons to hate Amazon, but fuck me.
I wanna hear about your fav dub. Your fav VA. Let’s celebrate these folks. 💜

this game is awesome and everybody should buy it and play it. just make sure you have headphones on for the start of episode 4 though 👀
Dispatch is a sharp-witted workplace comedy that charms with its smart dialogue choices, great writing, and lovably aggravating cast.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

iirc, in the code for Kero Blaster, the health bar (which is made up of hearts) is referred to in several places as 鳩, which is the Japanese kanji for pigeon, or dove. The kanji can be pronounced as "ha-to", which sounds like heart. :)
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?
