AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst
AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

The Joy of Putting by @potomax.bsky.social

I truly learned the joy of putting. The dick shaped holes where the hardest for me. But in the end I got good with the balls and #justbeatit.

I also made a map for it - "The Oppressing Facade". Thanks a ton to the QBJ3 team for making basically a new super polished and audiovisually stunning game. I can't stress enough how high the production value for it is!

#justbeatit Wurroom (PS VITA)

More like Warum? Because @vayar.bsky.social that’s warum!

Interesting interactive artpiece I guess? I don’t know what was the the meaning of all this, do you? Let me know when you find out since it’s free on Steam.

#justbeatit Quibble Race

My first UFO50 game I tried and it was a fun one! Sort of a horse betting game with cute little creatures where you can influence the outcome by roiding or crippling them. Very difficult because of the randomness, but strangly exciting.

#justbeatit Out Run

Playing on the Sega Ages version but decided against the accessibly options. Brutal arcade difficulty makes every mistake a game over. After grinding for some hours I beat it with 11s to spare! Excellent game even after all these years.

Wanted to play the new #qbj3 on my Steam Deck (already tried the standalone in Win)

I had already installed #LibreQuake in here (which includes Ironwail), so I only had to download the mod files and voilà, it plays seamlessly

Got surprised because this has rumble and gyro controls too, very cool!

Played my first #qbj3 map. Amazing stuff. Took me over an hour to beat. 77 maps left 🤣.

OK, so uake Brutalist Jam III is insanely cool. Any boomer shooter fans need to play this immediately. While based on Quake, it stands as its own thing - the architecture, level design and atmosphere are off the charts. Play it.

#justbeatit Parking Garage Rally Circuit @walaber.com

Take a Saturn rally game, throw in Mario Kart skidding, make the tracks tight Parking Garages and add in a ska OST and you have this amazing racing game!
Can't wait for the DLC and maybe I make a track myself!

Bold of the tech industry to believe that if they move to subscription models and make devices prohibitively expensive to own that I won’t simply play my Neo Geo Pocket Color and Nintendo Wii for the rest of my life.
