Episode 5 of Death Stranding 2 is the most impressive visual experience I’ve ever seen in a video game.

Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed.

*hasn’t yet revived

This game completely rules. The original might be my favorite game ever, and the sequel seems like an improvement on every front.

I've never understood Cursor as either a product or business model. They have exactly zero moat, and seem like they are doing essentially free UX research for microsoft.

Also it is bad?

I understood this to be at least partially a matter of practicality: you can summon a Waymo on demand to (essentially) any location, and they don’t have any humans in them. Neither are true of buses.

I was stunned. For the first time ever, greed defeats racism???

Real

Finals MVP TJ McConnell???

Very impressive first half from the pacers. Except for the (awful, horrible, gut wrenching) injury, this has been an excellent game so far.

They really gotta stop playing the replay

Fuuuuuuck

9 points in 5 minutes is a pretty good start for Halliburton

It’s such a great record. And they are amazing live!

Letter to Arc members 2025 On Arc, its future, and the arrival of AI browsers — a moment to answer the largest questions you've asked us this past year.

I don’t want any new features for Arc. I don’t use spaces, or boosts, or automatic folders, and I don’t care about any of the AI features.

The full screen page rendering, command bar, and split windows are life changing, and I cannot live without them.

I’m glad we got the full seven games of Thunder Nuggets. Not only was it truly magnificent basketball, it is also supremely satisfying to say out loud.

We’ve got a real good one tonight

We need the tutorial, Steve! The people are desperate!

I fucking love bands
