I think I'm the only person who monitors the Spotify charts closely enough to notice a potentially huge single rising up the charts, it's almost in the top 50 and I'm curious to see how far it can go. Can find nothing about the artist, White Noise Radiance, I don't get how there's so little coverage

Oregon Trail was a great game even though the graphics were a little buggy

i probably should have guessed they'd be on the ai train, one of the artifacts in their first set was basically a early 2010s precursor to amazon ai slop books

admittedly writing an entire real book would be a huge ask, but the answer to that is to *pick a project where you don't have to do that*

ah heck, thank you for naming them, i had been considering giving them a try again after i did their first run way back when

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

i wish all of my fellow escape room gamemasters a happy "ill-advised first ever attempt at an escape room, just me and my partner, what do you mean two people probably isn't enough" day

it's one of the longest english words that strictly alternates between consonants and vowels, which in wordplay circles is regarded as Neat

personally i think words that rhyme should be spelled the same but you do ewe

Help, Discord is asking me to verify my age by making me answer this???

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

my city has won a large game, and now many of its 'splodesters shall engage in 'splodesmanship

If science is so great why do we only have one vegetable on the cob

an internet-famous person known for cussin' and violent comedy came to play one of our escape rooms tonight, along with his family

they were all super sweet and enthusiastic, and it was one of the most wholesome experiences i have witnessed in a while

the rare and prized Reverse Saget

tune in next time, when i politely but firmly ask theseus to stop replacing bits of the escape room

after the team leaves, i go in, and it turns out that she had actually dropped a different key on accident

but she *had* found the more important key, and the other key drop happened while she was trying to decide the best way to communicate that

during the outro, through the wall, i hear the loud clatter of a key falling on the wooden floor of the room

"ah", i think, "she found it, and is cleverly signaling that to me so we don't have to break character"

during one particular game, i heard a player say something that indicated he might have accidentally pocketed an especially hard-to-replace key, so i messaged my coworker, "hey, after the game, prioritize making sure you have eyes on this key before the team leaves"

the way one of our escape rooms is set up, after a successful escape, i'm congratulating and debriefing the team in character, while a coworker is in the room starting to reset things

epistemology nerds may enjoy the fact that i found myself in an honest-to-goodness real-life gettier problem at work last night

my favorite part of any youtube sponsored segment about a dismal-looking mobile game is the part where they tell me that if i sign up in the next few days i'll get X amount of gems and Y amount of other currency

you know i haven't played the game

you know i have no context for how much that is

i cannot imagine a more foreboding sentence a team could have said pre-game than "chatgpt said you were the best escape room in the city"

my brother, my friend, chatgpt is for if you hate to think, and escape rooms are for if you like to think

the venn diagram is "O O"

hey, remember that xkcd with the chart of movie references you could use to make someone feel old

that xkcd came out fifteen years ago

this game seems like it's going to be incredible for fans of griddy logicky stuff

i dunno, seems like a hat on a hat to me

...huge if true?

there's only one letter's difference between escorts and esports

did i help

also this is less universal but it's too bad i wasn't working the night commissioner thorsten integrity of learnedleague came to play, that would have been fun

years ago, ariana grande and her entourage came to play one of our escape rooms

and the person who gave their intro spiel was probably the one person in a three-block radius who had never heard of ariana grande

i didn't realize i was applying for a call center job that would have involved talking to a lot of angry people

the interviewer tried to twist all my answers to sound terrible - looking back, she was testing if i'd be up for that kind of work, but at the time i just thought she was being awful
