I like to think of my streams as a chill, and occasionally chatty affair, I play...pretty much whatever I feel like at the time really, but I do tend towards series runs, so if I've started playing so...

Kill the reflexive urge to engage with anything you think is neat by finding out what the worst people you can imagine are saying about it first. Feel what you're feeling and move on with your day.

I'm not! I don't care what they have to think or say! Fuck em!

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

There should be a setting for turn-based RPGs that allows for gaining something else other than EXP so you don't remove all challenge from the game just because you like to fidget while listening to podcasts

Smart TV remotes should come with one of those slide-out keyboards that pre-touchscreen smartphones used to have.

The internet COULD have been a place where we become enlightened.
The Age of Information.
Instead, algorithms gave us feedback loops of our opinions. Telling us what we wanted to hear & giving us more confidence in disinformation than ever.
Throwing us into a full-blown crisis of ignorance. 🧵

the relationship between the tech sector and the rest of humanity reminds me very strongly of that "so we compromised and got a cat" meme.

On a personal level, I was never particularly offended by the R-slur, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disturbed by the rabid zeal with which it's been re-adopted.

I think it's wrong to frame generative AI tools as granting the unskilled an ability to do skilled tasks. What it's really doing is making it possible to make things that weren't worth the effort for skilled people to do.

probably the most useful thing to know about British comedy is that, for some reason we seem to find incredulity about food extremely funny.

Y'know something? I think committing to a binge-watch is actually easier if you have physical media, a single disc is a much more manageable chunk to get the head around consuming at a time than a nebulous amount of readily-available episodes.
I wish I'd kept more of my old collection than I did.

Watched The Mummy Returns earlier, and something I somehow didn't notice before, when they fight, Rick has no way of knowing Imhotep is mortal at that point, so he just thinks it's the same immortal superbeing, and he's in there throwing hands regardless.
