Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.

Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokΓ©mon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?

Interviewer: They do fight, virtually.

Herzog: Physically, do they fight?

Interviewer: No-

Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?

Happy 30th birthday to PokΓ©mon. Without it, the greatest Werner Herzog quote of all time would not exist.

It's kinda miraculous what we've done with agriculture in the last few decades. I grew up on sci-fi from the 70's and I learned a lot about then-contemporary societal issues like a rapidly thinning food supply. We've solved so many problems and it's depressing to see how that's been abused by power

We could do end of scarcity now, its just that most people, particularly among the ultra rich, don't actually want it.

The Two Weeks When Luigi Died
Last timestamp of a file (gfxmain.c) that has Luigi's code active as part of the program: February 6, 1996
Earliest timestamp of a file (shade.c) that has Luigi's code commented out, signifying he is no longer being developed: February 20, 1996
This means that the idea of including Luigi in Super Mario 64 was abandoned in these two weeks.
-By the way, what happened to Luigi?
Miyamoto: Well... until February, he was in the game. (laughs)
This is also completely consistent with a statement by Shigeru Miyamoto in a June 1996 interview.

According to internal files and interviews, Luigi has been part of Super Mario 64 for 85% of its development time. New insights from development data allow us to narrow down when exactly he was abandoned, being the two weeks between February 6, 1996 and February 20, 1996.

β€œHey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling β€˜Flamingo’ on Google?”

β€œDon’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

first time I got one of those little pots of gochujang I put on so much stuff I gained like 10 lbs. I'd eat it by the spoonful. The flavor is captivating. I can't figure out how it tastes the way it does or what that taste is. it's more than its components. dark magic

three drawings of a character - his head is a simplified stubby lance, almost a toy, with a smiling face drawn on it. Instead of a neck an arm is holding the lance up. It's obvious there's a human inside his bulky clothes doing all the work. In one drawing he asks "and do you have this in red?" before the person inside manages a strangled whisper to beg for help. The lance whispers back "hush, none of that now". In another drawing he is bowing, saying "Truly honored kind sirs." A pair of frightened eyes is visible through the collar of his coat.

I know hating windows is in vogue right now but it sounds like storage sense only deletes things from /temp/ and empties the recycle bin, and can empty files from /download/ if you enable it

despite Microsofts incompetence I struggle to believe they're arbitrarily deleting user files now
