It really bums me out that with how much cruelty we face on a macro level, people are just so committed to being cruel to one another on a micro level too. What’s the point! Anyone with a soul is suffering! Why are we so insistent on making life more unbearable over nothing!

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

If there is one game you play this year, PLEASE let it be 1000xResist. I stumbled across it on a Reddit post when looking for a game similar to Nier. It’s not similar in terms of gameplay, but the existentialist ideas it explores, the morbidity, beauty, and meaninglessness of life… it’s a 10/10 game

I feel like AI should not be given the active voice in news articles. It’s like saying: “In 1993, rakes began to give Jim a lot of help organizing leaves on the lawn.” Center the agency of humans, with anything inanimate (including AI software) as the direct objects.

Absolutely incredible thread
Alright, time for one final sales round-up. We're going Sicko Mode: Games for very specific tastes. Maybe you'll discover something about yourself?
I'm still amazed that PC Gamer allowed me to write about Angel At Dusk. A DEEPLY horny body-horror shmup with a surprisingly high-concept sci-fi story.

Overwhelmingly bizarre beauty. Shoot, dodge, and destroy! A shmup where an apocalyptic world awakens to primal desires!

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

I want to see less accessible games. I want games designed for people with three hands and tetrachromacy. I want games that require players to lift 500lb weights to move forward. I want a game that laughs at me in Ithquil when I try to change its language.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Make it exist first. Then keep making it exist. Don't look back. Do not consider what you have wrought. Continue making it exist. It must exist. You must feed it. Don't look at it. Feed it. It's the only way. Feed it. Feed it. Soon it is all there is and all there ever will be. Save you. Feed it.

The twist is so good I need to see my physio. 👏😊✨
Some of you might know this story, but someone requested it as a reply to this thread, so I'll do that.
What you should know about me is that I've always had trouble with airport security, especially in the United States. I have 7 very Arabic names, and I travel a lot around the entire planet.

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
