"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Gambling is an intrinsically vampiric industry, it makes nothing and adds nothing, and taxing it more heavily is a plan with no drawbacks

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Trying to Stockholm users into “accepting” smudgy AI slop-looking visuals in a shitty effort to limp towards this unreachable end goal of profiting of the tech? :s

Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. Ted Cruz was born in Canada.

Bad Bunny is eligible to run for president because he’s a natural born citizen. Ted Cruz is not.

Thought that was a fun little fact.

America’s top companies keep talking about AI — but can’t explain the upsides FT analysis of hundreds of filings suggest the S&P 500 businesses are clearer about the risks than benefits

“The biggest US-listed companies keep talking about artificial intelligence. But other than the ‘fear of missing out,’ few appear to be able to describe how the technology is changing their businesses for the better.”

One of these things is not like the other

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright.

Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

I love the detail of the worldbuilding in Transformers. For example, while many Decepticons often literally transform into fighter jets they're still regularly beaten in battles due to the Autobots' more consistent communications, as Decepticons don't connect in aeroplane mode.

Really impressed with my first 5 hours on Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Mostly spent time with Naoe so far, she’s the first “RPG” protag for the series that actually feels like a proper assassin imo
Stealth finally feels engaging in the open environments too

Mainly though… you can build a zoo!

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

Depressingly Lost Crown didn’t make it close to that many players on Ubisoft’s PC launcher, barely made that in the launch window across all platforms and stores :/

As the guy that made the last Balatro, I did sign with a publisher (later in development) and in my case I really don't think Balatro would have blown up the way it did without them. Tons of my fellow devs are looking for support for their dream - and I know plenty that attend these events!

Meme in real life

Post-Weisshaupt (so over the 50% mark afaik) now in my Veilguard playthrough. Not without its problems, my 40+hrs in Northern Thedas have been a delight.
Some narrative threads might be a tad blunt in their execution but that’s nothing new for Dragon Age

Returning characters are sadly the weak link

Now's the time to try Star Wars Outlaws if you've been sat on the fence

Especially given the Jim Carrey unretiring of it all 🤪

I dunno. I feel like there’d be something truly wrong if at this point in Sonic’s history he couldn’t, via a movie aimed at younger kids, at least compete with Sam Wilson or Scott Lang movies 🤔🤣

Tbf Ant-Man suffered moreso for the bloated budget against its box office rather than because it explicitly did poorly.
They aimed for avengers numbers for a sub-series that didn’t warrant it

The "Generating Shaders" screen for Avowed. "This game is optimizing shaders for your system to ensure smooth performance and reduce in-game stuttering. The process converts shader code into a format tailored to your hardware, enhancing visual effects and overall gameplay experience. Depending on your system, compiling may take a few moments." There is an animated widget to show your computer isn't locked up, and a progress "loading" bar to show how far the progress is.

Hey, game teams, THIS is how you communicate "compiling shaders" for players. Stop assuming they'll know what it means, as most absolutely do not.

Avowed, this is great.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Despite its flaws, we left the cinema wanting more of this Cap & Falcon, Thunderbolt Ross, Isaiah Bradley & (Giancarlo Esposito's) Sidewinder. I really do hope they get to maintain focus on the military/spy caper angle in future... Esposito's team of mercs vanishing after the first act was a shame

Sam also finds himself with a number of speeches that I can only assume were late additions, given Mackie appears to have been hastily green-screened back into what were otherwise live locations that they presumably didn't return to - a sign that they're finally being more reasonable with budgets?
