On some secret shit @leagueoflegends
I love when a gamedev is a little freak.

Random things I found great about Silksong:
- There’s an item that makes a consistent low-grade annoying noise as long as it’s in your inventory
- The game managed to be anti-capitalist and anti-theology at the same time. Efficiency!
- Setting your weapon on fire also reduces cold damage you take

Death Stranding 2 is ironically Kojima showing a bunch of constraint and growth.

99.9% of Gen Z has never watched Flubber and I think that’s the major generational rift between us.

I’ve given Marvel so much of my collective brain space over the years without even really meaning to or feeling particularly strongly about them.

They’re just so ubiquitous that it feels important to participate a bit, as a nerd.

I wonder what that tipping point is for a brand in general 🤔

The strongest argument for GIF with a hard G is clarity. It is less ambiguous in its meaning when pronounced that way. It helps you spell the acronym, which improves comprehension.

It also transitively precludes that GUI would be pronounced as “jewey”, which is a separate anti-homophonic benefit.

Hoping for a W today out of NYC. It’s 100 degrees. Damn it.
28 Years Later is a triumph.
East Hastings still slaps.
I’m out.

The maintenance alter really should have been named Jan Itor. Large missed opportunity.

So crazy that they named that Pearl Jam song after a baby bottle.

@sdw.bsky.social nailed it. Huge ups man.

Anyone trying to sell you something ubiquitous must first convince you that a ubiquitous product that it substitutes is bad.

Look out for smartphone FUD soon. (Like Humane, but by people with some competence)

It will be wrapped in a paper-thin veneer of humanism. It will be sales.

Is this a dagger which I see before me [Press R1 for LIGHT ATTACK], The handle toward my hand [Press R2 for HEAVY ATTACK]? Come, let me clutch thee [Hold R2 for CHARGE ATTACK].

I have thee not, and yet I see thee still [Press L1 + R2 for PHANTOM ATTACK (expends Ghost Power)].
