Good stuff. Purchased. :-)

Please add a section to the end credits that lists all the pronouns you can think of under the title "special thanks for existing". Just so every bit of vitriol they muster and criticism they post citing it can be responded to with "well someone clearly enjoyed the game enough to complete it".

Whatever the next professional industry conference event looks like I hope it isn't more 101 level workshops, cyncial brain dumps and creeps accosting or drugging vulnerable people at or off venue.

A whole 100 CD spindle in the palm of your hand.

That's because all the fake ones flooding the market have given a false sense of what's actually available at that price. Anything above 128gb is an actually unbelievable lie and even that value is sketchy. Fake ones report being large but fill em up and lose most your data. What a time to be alive.

Me: Gets notebook for taking quick notes. Saves space keeps them together nice and tidy. Time to take a note comes. Hmm this note doesn't seem worth wasting a notebook page on, I'm going to get a lose scrap of paper I can lose to write it on instead. Notebook becomes placemat for pile of lose notes.

I wish you well. And maybe even fountains.

very hard not to see the shift from traditional arcades to crane game emporiums as evidence of the degeneration of the world state

I mean the interactive ones largely added by ambitions expansion I think. ones like Detective, Not-GhostbustersTM, Firefight. Sounds like you would have liked the Architect one, you got a budget and got to build houses and decorate them for the townies.

Medieval is like sims 3's "profession" jobs or like the World Adventure quests, but the whole game is just those. It's pretty good. Unlike the Sims 4's take on professions and quests.

Tweet by Nick Hutchins (that had 48.4K likes): The limewire generation learned quickly how to spot bad files and it’s honestly a big reason why Millennials have better internet literacy than the generations on either side

I think about this post a lot - whether you agree with its premise or not - because I really do think it's important for people to develop a radar growing up about what is and isn't real on the internet, especially given that old gens never did that and have almost no internet literacy whatsoever.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

Were it real it would be on the cover of every science magazine overnight. Ball lightning has never been caught on camera. First person to capture it is going to be instant famous in REAL news media, not a rando going "huh weird" on social media. (Also after effects filters in this one easy to spot)

On the bright side it's made me realise bluesky lets me block entire trashnews outlets.

5 bucks says they are not as annoying in real life as you are online by half.

Plenty of monster catcher spin off games on the market now. But I don't think we've seen an adventure game yet. The idea of having to have different mons on your team to solve different adventure puzzles in place of inventory items is fertile ground.

It was looking promising for a while, but then the creator got into NFTs and yeah... Probably not.

Scale up the yogurt spoon and it's almost the perfect spoon period. Reinforced neck, no sharp corners on the bottom to dig into your palm when you are shovelling away. Nice flat surfaces all over for easy cleaning. Remove that brand stamped into the base and there is no where for bacteria to hide.

It costs a pretty paltry annual sum to support the Game Preservation Society, which has been doing the heavy lifting of safeguarding Japan's game history. It's a shame they're in such dire straits, so if you've got the ability to help support I highly recommend it.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Most have decided the line was crossed AT LEAST once. The landscape here is different from twitter & most artists/people who support them have decided hard line not to give those companies any air at all, thus the reaction you got. Not my place to advise. Weigh it up and you do you. :-/

Environmental harm, overtaxing the electrical retail market, providing tools for conmen, money laundering, damaging peoples ability to filter real from fake information online, bloating markets with shovel ware... Pick a number of strikes. Question is, when does it stop being fair?

The core of this debate comes down to fairness. The images used to train the AI model in question were pirated. That's strike 1 (avoidable but it happened). It disrespect the wishes and legacy of creators of those art. That's strike 2. The purpose is to create a market that bypasses those creators.

Did the brickmaker get paid? Was the work of the other builders respected? Was financial inequality for the barrier of entry to become a home owner between the new owner and the old avoided? Is downloading a copy of a videogame without paying the creators piracy? What about selling those copies?

Maybe at a particle level it's trivial? That said if I was a brickmaker, the builder who made those other houses or just someone who had to pay for my own home to be built with material costs... Feeling pissed off is probably justified regardless.

Lets look at it another way. If I steal a brick from your house. And from your neighbour's house. And all the houses across town. And I build a house out of them. Is my house made out of stolen materials or does the individual on individual pettiness of the theft nullify that? How about 1/2 a brick?
