Tarkov servers being hugged to death, so in the time that I'm waiting for a scav run to queue (on PVE), I've:
- folded my laundry, started a new load
- cleaned my half-basement office
- started cleaning my office desk
If I ever play, this may give Pomodoro a run for its productivity money.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 has been added to the Game UI Database!... but with no UI. Instead, the page redirects to an article about the game's use of AI-generated icons and banners.
Much respect to the UI team, you don't deserve to be associated with this. Shame on Activision.

i spoke to the folks behind the project to bring concord back to life about why they're doing it
!["I think a big part of [reverse engineering] is just being curious and motivated," Real said. "I'm very interested in 'lost media' and the like so I initially gravitated towards Concord because of the very large wave it made online as well as its incredibly short lifespan. Over the course of the project I began to respect a lot of the design choices I initially questioned and I think that also motivated me to keep working on it. I think part of it is wanting other people to see what I saw."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ngixp5ab4bvfayehc23q2mja/bafkreiemmmsshjdkovqagje5j7ftmr2sjdzxidxrbazepzkilpi6vxsrpu@jpeg)

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.
