The sans lookalike is Lita, a young albino turtle. She got her own card as well

I'm never gonna buy it, but I kinda love they did this. Normally companies bury their embarrassing past, while Nintendo (in this instance at least) is putting it on display. I respect that.

...and it makes me giggle.

You can tell you used the proper amount of garlic when vampires start to move out of the neighborhood.

Sooooo, Massachusetts is launching an AI assistant for state workers powered by ChatGPT.

I'm often proud of my state for its stances. I am not today. What the actual fuck???

They have escalated me because they couldn't fix the issue, and I should hear back within 3 days. I've heard that before -_-

Also, I have reported Experian to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. They have all the information on what I've gone through for over a year. Lets see what happens.

I'm glad they put guardrails in. I have always supported death with dignity, but I also know insurance would love to pressure high-cost patients into this to save pennies at the cost of human life.

Well, my anxiety over the car and avoidance of thinking about it reaped a benefit. I'm currently on the phone with Equifax to figure out what is the deal with them losing my credit report too. The power of avoidance.

Well I just has a panic attack, it's not great

I'm guessing things did not go well for the Patriots tonight

I am, thankfully.

It was terrifying though, and it happened only halfway to NJ, so whether I continued on my trip or turned around I still had a 3 hour drive. I'm safely there though, and trying to relax.

Sooooo, I can't say I've never been in a car accident before anymore.

Everyone is okay, and the car is drivable but it's gonna need work.

That was damn impressive. I don't think I could get that ending in less then 10 minutes, so bravo to them

And Adobe eliminates another product because it doesn't align with their AI vision, Adobe Animate.

They have had a stranglehold on creative industries for decades. I hope their AI obsession blows up in their faces, and sooner rather then later.

... Let me know what you think. I've been waffling back and forth on whether to see it or not.

DLC - Podcast Home Home for the podcast where anyone can talk about video games and industry-related topics.

Morning, y'all! Now live is the first episode of DLC for 2026! To kick things off: we talk about playing video games for just the fun of it. It's a sentiment that seems obvious, but when viewed against the era of shitty hot takes and being hyper-critical of all media, perhaps not. www.dlcpodcast.com

Looks like I'm finally on the other side of the pneumonia, after being sick for a month at this point.

Apparently when I get sick, I don't mess around. Feels good to breath (without endlessly coughing) again.

I really need to get an adult sized sled for days like this

Considering past performance, it feels pretty likely

We finished Exit: The Cursed Labyrinth in 3 hours, 9 minutes, using 6 hint cards, and got 3 stars.

And, most importantly, we had a BLAST!

Going to play Exit with Dejah, wish me luck!

So, I've got a mild case of pneumonia. That's fun -_-

Seriously, every website seems to be leaning into those prudish, puritanical values.

Fuck health insurance. Fuck prior authorizations. Fuck appeals. Fuck everything they do to draw out not having to pay for a med for a couple extra months to make slightly more profit when they already know the med is necessary and have already been covering it for a year at this point.

My main complaint, that you've all heard me complain about before, is the lack of a map. It made the two large settlements hard for me to navigate, and got me stuck for awhile. Hence my 8 hours of playtime in a game that should have only taken 6. Its my pet peeve.

8/10 overall

Seeing the companions stepping into the role humans left, and them turning the normal day to day activities we do into rituals they don't fully understand, was a delight. Being a cat is fun.

So I finished my second game of the year, Stray.

I don't actually have a lot to say on it. It was cute, a bit heartfelt, and I enjoyed it.

Like, yeah, there's a lot of dinosaur bones fossilized, but I still don't think we should be carving them up into dice.

The specific bones were from a Tyrannosaurus Rex, for the curious.

I just had an ad for dice made from dinosaur bones recommended to me. On one hand, I understand why people want this. It's really fucking cool. But on the other hand, I feel like we are just repeating the history of Victorians eating mummies.

That's amazing! Congratulations!

That game was quite a ride by the end
