Todd Howard: The Elder Scrolls 6 is “still a long way off”

"I like to just announce stuff and release it. My perfect version – and I’m not saying this is going to happen – is that it's going to be a while and then, one day, the game will just appear."

It's also worth noting that a number of conventions have already done this, some a good while back, so it's really just a question of the leaderships political will.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

(I'm sure they will do other things, but I think FNV is the top priority. I'm also aware that it doesn't take a fancy rig to play a 15-yr-old game, but you know what can't play FNV? A computer that doesn't boot at all)

I would give it to my partner bc their laptop is dying. They will probably use it to play Fallout New Vegas.

Are you a furry, and do you need a powerful FREE laptop?

Well I'm raffling a Dell XPS 15 7490 with a 4K OLED screen!

I noticed there are a lot of options that people probably do want to block, if and only if bsky moderation has correctly identified them. Some are straightforward (scams or malicious links), whereas others are more vague (like engagement farming). Like I hate clickbait, but who gets to define it?

You heard me

Got that in a grocery store interview once. Like, this is entry-level retail work, there's no point playing corporate mind games for minimum wage.

Pretty sure I have the scariest engineering costume of the day.

Every game studio should have a Skinballs motivational poster, this is not a joke

They're "microdose" gummies. Mostly CBD, and only 1.5mg of THC per gummy, so if anything they're overemphasizing the effects.

Sam Reich at his Make Some Noise desk with the prompt "More" on the screen behind him, once and then a second time the font is bigger. A third photo where the prompt instead reads "Lactose intolerantly". A fourth photo that reads "more" with the biggest font..

people like Palmer Luckey understand, either explicitly or implicitly, that retro tech and retro games are an accessible pathway to right wing radicalization. the politics of "remember the past when things were simpler and better?" are only a few steps removed from MAGA, unless you're very careful

Gonna start saying this every time I wake up from a nap.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I mean, you can already do that without AI. We've had procedurally generated games for decades.

A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

Thinking about historical paintings made by candlelight, drawing by natural light vs incandescent vs fluorescent, etc. It didn't start with colors looking different on different screens, and it won't end there.

Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

4 panel comic Panel 1: A group of people just having a lovely time. Everyone is laughing Panel 2: An absolute Federal Agent appears in the middle of the group laughing like an obnoxious robot Panel 3: The group quickly disperses, leaving the gross creepy agent by himself Panel 4: The agent touches his ear and says “arrest their moms”

Calvin and Hobbes comic. Dad explains there's only two types of file formats: .txt and .zip #programming #software #softwareengineering

There's really only two file formats

Meanwhile the men's toys are made from toxic cherry-scented foam that disintegrates after use and are labeled "Fuck this slut's sloppy pussy!" OR they look like a futuristic sports car, heated, self-lubricated, self-cleaning, they do your taxes for you, and cost One William Dollars.

I'd expect the toys for women to have more abstract designs and vague packaging with a poorly-researched attempt at inclusive language while avoiding any reference to actual body parts or sex acts. "Elyndrys features body-safe silicone that can accommodate protrusions of any size."

Anyway. Binging the first season over a Sunday before clocking in at my regular nine-to-five Monday morning sure was a decision that I made.

Finally got around to watching Severance, and I was not prepared to finish the first episode and get slapped in the face with "Directed by Ben Stiller." I mean I knew. But I wasn't ready.
