the problem with starting at that level of punishment for buying the $750 crystal Shrek is that where do you go with a purchase that’s four orders of magnitude worse

Watching people respond to the New Yorker article with the same five memes they’ve been using since 2020 is darkly funny, like watching someone with a string of DUIs drunkenly rant about self-driving cars. Like, I’m not even saying you’re necessarily *wrong*, I just think you lack the standing.

1997 SEGA Pinball Starship Troopers pinball machine with a Color DMD.
The game is pretty uncommon to see on location. No official production numbers exist but I’ve seen estimates of 1,500 units online.

RIP Loren Carpenter (1947-2025), who I just learned passed away on December 21 at the age of 78. He worked for the Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Division (where he helped create the Genesis effect for Star Trek 2, and Rescue on Fractalus!). He co-created RenderMan and was chief scientist of Pixar. 🤯

I am organizing my bookshelves right now and, given my demographic life expectancy, there’s a pretty good argument against me ever needing to acquire another book again
I think a big issue with content slop evolving in general is that I am already in a place where I’m not going to get caught up with every game in my Steam library and every movie and tv show I have on various watch later lists. Like who the fuck is going to pay real life money for an AI movie

Day 5
Donner Party - Donner Party (1988)
This indie/post punk album is so rare that the person who submitted it (thanks again @jessefuchs.bsky.social) sent me a dropbox with all the tracks on it. And what a treat!
Wonderfully ahead of its time, jangly, funny, dark.
Loved it
