I’m glad they confirmed this but… as a garden adjacent person, I had no question that bees are temporally attuned. 🤷🏾‍♂️ what other things do we think can’t understand temporally based timing?

One of the neat things about owning a 3D printer is having a really stupid idea in the middle of the night, popping online and discovering that someone else had the same stupid idea and did something about it.

Putting it on if it’s not in or on you isn’t great, as noted.

But if you grew talking like that and that’s how your ma ma talked and that’s you and the neighborhood you grew up in, *I* don’t need you to code switch because of the color of your skin. Personally, I want to trust that that’s you.

I dunno man…

Something about someone donating all their money won and taxed by the state to charity for a situation that probably needs more state assistance, and doing it with increased odds assisted by a corporate data cross referencing tool…

Like…

Carrie Edwards rarely played the lottery, but something pushed her to try her luck. She went to ChatGPT to help her pick the winning numbers.

She won $150,000 in a Powerball drawing and decided to donate it all to her most cherished charities. https://wapo.st/3LF8Wvi

So… can the steam machine run FFXIV?

Might I one day buy a third version of FFXIV?

Jumps on the bandwagon of people mentioning Dawntrail, and why this is a really bad idea.

Also wanna say: Fanfest is fun, but it's not $1,000-$4,000 fun.

I've been to the last two physical fanfests, and they didn't have enough chairs for everyone, which meant that unless you were in line really, really early, you were more than likely either sitting on the floor or standing in the back.
People! Please! No no no no no! Don't give this fool your money. Save your money! I knew that this would happen and scalpers would strike. Fanfest isn't everything! Don't let them take advantage of you.

I love that this is happening. I can’t benefit as a PS5 player, but I’m excited that it exists!

Random person who plays indie games, you are the most important cog in an indie game's success.

Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them.

Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.

A timeline cleanser: My recent newsletter is about rise of "repair cafes" around the world, where communities come together to fix each other's beloved things. The goal: reduce consumer waste, and maybe make some buddies in the process 🔧👭

F-ZERO GX is one of the greatest games because it has 40 playable characters that aside from around 5 or 6 of them nobody has ever really thought that much about, and gives all of them voice acted interviews and their own theme song and short film. this game Loves guys like "Octo Man" and "Billy"
