I hope the game does great, so so much talent worked on it, but this a good exampe of why you need writers and as more than just "punching up lines"

a writer or director may know that if you're gonna give people a twist (ie, something not what they're expecting), it has to EXCEED what they expected
my wife came back home and asked me what i did with the food and i replied "metroid prime 4." she smiled and kissed me on the cheek. she knew it was cooked

All I want is one single reporter to ask him if he thinks people seeking asylum = means from insane asylums
O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?

TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

If you like time trial games, join us in AJ & @richardboeser.bsky.social’s game Pulse! I’ve been putting a lot of hours into this over the past month. Getting a fast time is such a draw every day.
Pulse has a trailer now! With Next Fest officially starting today, we figured we'd make a proper introduction to the game. Go play the demo!

Any conversation in the past year:

“How’s your work?”
“So so. Lots of changes due to AI.”

“How’s the family?”
“Fine. We’re scheduling our week plans with AI now.”

“Great artwork!”
“Yeah! Can you believe that no AI was used?”

“Hey, how are you?”
“Good. Have you seen what is possible with AI?”

Updated my phone to iOS 26. I really dislike the visual changes they made. The Liquid Glass interface really messes with my eyes - give me back the flat design!

“Research”: refuse to accept the answers Google gives or any form of scientific consensus, and instead “dig a little deeper” to get to “the truth”.

@dansavage.bsky.social I just listened to another episode where you recommended a parent give their child an Amazon Gift Card for sex toys. Good advice, but the Amazon promo irks me. I know it’s the easiest and cheapest, but Bezo’s behemoth is also one of the most evil businesses ever to exist.

YouTube gives me Israeli propaganda as ads. They claim Gaza is full of food and supplies. Disgusting.

Friends that don’t ask how I am, but every few months send me a meme without context: how does this work? Do you pick a contact at random? Are you expecting a reply? Are trying to tell me something? Tell me how your brain works!!

I really really would like life to be simple again. Having just a Nokia 3310 in my pocket, thinking of whether I would really waste an SMS on the nonsense I want to share.

I just watched 4 cops wrestle a naked and agitated man to the floor. Another cop held a barking police dog, who was scaring the naked man, making him scream. Cops were yelling at bystanders to get the fuck back. Passengers on the platform took out their phones and started taking pictures. Wtf.

Just had a discussion with someone who was arguing the difference between something being illegal and it being ”really banned”.

“Yeah but if it would be REALLY BANNED, people could report it and the problem would go away.”

Dude, do you think ‘illegal’ means ‘allowed if you can get away with it’?
