Glad I bought my Switch 2 before the hardware disaster of the next few years (courtesy of the idiotic AI-at-all-costs run).
The Steam Deck no longer starts at $399. It's $549 now.

Technically that's because Valve has discontinued the LCD version. Realistically, it changes every conversation about handheld price from here on out. www.theverge.com/news/848595/...
The LCD Steam Deck is done
The Steam Deck LCD is out of stock on the US store and is no longer being produced.

Already wrote the 70% of the session. Today I'm gonna compile the character sheet for an NPC I created, Dick the Rat Catcher.

I'm preparing a one-shot WFRP session for next week, settled in Altdorf! My friend (the player) rolled dices to create his character and it happened to be a bourgeois. I'm gonna make his life a nightmare between 3 neighbourhoods: Dockland, Reikerbahn, and Toteninsel.

I follow this account from the moment I opened BlueSky (1 year and a half ago), and it's constantly and gently amazing. More nature in our lives, more knowledge and kindness!

If holly is allowed to grow into a tree it is highly likely to do the same

Holly evolved to fight back against the large herbivores that used to roam the Earth. The higher the tree grows the smoother the leaves get

Instead the “most transparent” administration again decided to slow-walk and stonewall. That will only feed the very conspiracy theories that Trump once feasted upon but which now threaten to consume him.

I've never given an f about Kamiya's style rating since the first Devil May Cry I played.

That said, how could you give me a Silver rating at Combo when I literally oneshot a boss, without even wanting to? Like bruh... 🥶

I'm so waiting for The Wonderful 101 to be discounted on Switch for Xmas sales.

Whenever you are ready, we can have a serious conversation on MJF being the only one who truly inherited Ric Flair's legacy.

Why do Japanese lyrics feel musical even without rhyme? Break down the rhythms, repetitions and sound devices that shape J-pop’s most memorable lines.
Why Japanese musicians don’t need rhymes to sing
Japanese pop rarely relies on rhyme. Instead, its lyrics draw power from mora-based rhythm, repetition, sound symbolism and traditional poetic devices.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I see MJF winning at Worlds End, and as much as I would like to see Swerve with the belt, as much as I respect Hangman, as much as Joe is still the legend we know... I would be more than fine.

Goddamn yeah!
Like damn yall can’t even be elitist correctly lmao. Play harder games than me first. Drop the gacha. Beat something that doesn’t have meta-progression.

Then you can START talking to me about being too nice or whatever if I’m even in the mood to entertain it.

YES, glad I waited instead of falling for FOMO, patient gaming wins again. This the exact kind of game I wanna play in handheld mode.

(Also glad that me continuing to ignore all the “Dude just get a Steam Deck” people is paying off 😉)

Man, what did they do with the editing of #AEWDynamite and #AEWCollision Holiday Bash? On Triller TV they don't start from the beginning, and Dynamite inverted English and Spanish tracks. What a mess!

It's not even the first week this happens. A little more of caring, please. @tonykhan.bsky.social
