"Above Average" Erik

You had the money, the power, and the fame. Where did it all go wrong? Why couldn't those sniveling little city dwellers see that you were meant to lead them? You're now a twice certified loser from a family of winners. Your father's name is on a bridge. Your name is next to a Wikipedia entry that says "sexual harassment allegations."

We are not complaining because we are afraid of it, we are complaining because it looks like dogshit and it's everywhere!

This is as polite as I can be about AI 😭

Forgot that punchbowl was some kinda news site so for a few seconds I thought wow that must have been a pretty crazy accident

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

every day one of the 4 websites that exists sneaks in some annoying bullshit into your settings that you have to turn off if you don't want everything to suddenly become a little bit worse

this whole piece is fascinating but this section really stuck out to me as why so many people are the way they are. they project trump himself onto themselves, and he is their identity. an attack on trump is a direct attack on them

Wonderful news! Peter Molyneux is returning to enchant and delight children of all ages with one of his famous lies. "My new lie will be the most wonderful to date" the elfin designer laughed

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

This response from the White House is somehow dumber than I could have ever expected.

Heathcliff and Iggy face a graveyard with several ghosts flying in the sky, all of them saying "Bro". Iggy says "It's way worse than 'Boo.'"

Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

Games used to be designed with the idea that you were going to play them repeatedly, over and over, and occasionally you still get that but there’s so much narrative bloat and slow rolling in modern titles. You go back and play like RE4 or Vanquish and they don’t fuck around.

The ramifications of gamergate remain hard to believe

I'm sorry, but you can't convince me that this is a political party and not the name of a dating website for seniors

worth watching just for the costumes, which are extraordinary.

Imagine being Chad Warden today.

This is incredible.

It's exactly what you think an AI game would be, a kind of Call of BattleMedal FightSoldierSiege IP grey goo that can only seemingly be an on-rails affair where you can only move forward and the only possible interaction is a QTE, and the whole thing is still melting down.

Panel from a Moomin comic where Moomin says "I'll go away into the mountains. I need solitude."

Moomin has the right idea

last 15 years feel like an experiment in putting individuals who don't know why people see movies in charge of getting people to see movies
