Similar idea that I've been thinking about for months.

This video shows the process behind one continuous shot showing a condensed period of time in a woman's life and the changes to her apartment in the show Kidding. AI could make something that looks kind of like this but it could never make you wonder about it. You'd never discuss it with friends.

In Disco Elysium I was expecting there to be some kind of "addiction mechanic" that would add a long-term downside to taking drugs, and was surprised by not only the absence of any such mechanic but also that the benefits of drugs greatly outweighed the cost. Anyways fast forward to the late game and I was downing three bottles of pyrholidon and smoking an entire pack of cigarettes before attempting any check, and the was only then I realized there was in fact an addiction mechanic

Disco Elysium could not work as well as it does in any other medium tbh

Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it worksβ€”thanks, Kojima The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.

Oh my god

Big reveal time:

For the past two weeks I've been working nonstop on making my own Polly Pocket style Alan Wake mini dioramas. There was a bunch of modeling, prototyping, and hand painting on these. Originally I was just going to do Alan in the writers room but couldn't help myself.

It's absurd and dystopian that payment processors get to decide what we can and can't see on the internet.

That companies like Visa and Mastercard can use their enormous size to bully companies into taking stuff offline - based on the reactionary politics of a small group.

My 6-year-old starts every other sentence with 'well, actually' before pointing out something that is both incredibly obvious and painfully irrelevant, and let me tell you, it's given me real insight into a certain kind of internet reply guy.

BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.

These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). πŸ§ͺ🌿

As today is World Parrot Day I’m bringing back to the timeline my favourite rendition of Whole Lotta Rosie by Tico (parrot) and Frank (non-parrot) of Tico and the Man (a truly great squawk n' roll band)

The neologism of addressing an unseen audience as "chat" is just fantastic. One of the best new slang words of my lifetime, amusing every time
