I Want A President by Zoe Leonard

Четвърти за белот ли им трябва?

That's just life with depression.

He did say he wants to make hundreds of millions units per year, then ramp up to making a billion units per year, so...

Also, while I was just searching for said post, I stumbled upon the following, if anyone needs it:

Same here! I was wondering if it's an inspiration or a coincidence, but then I saw the author is on Bsky and confirms it in a pinned post:

Тъй ами, наш'те, вместо да се захласват по DOGE-та, трябва да ходят да им преподават как се прави.

А хората се оплакват, че държавните служители работели бавно! Ето, че не е вярно

I'm now fully expecting someone to find Mamdani's Neopets account.

Sort of - those shares are often used as collateral for loans, but yes, it's also a number-go-up game where he gets to brag about being the first trillionaire.

If the networking part doesn't hold, as James jokes in the video, it would be just another satirical commentary on modern competitive game releases, even if not intended :)

(P.S. love the video, I should delve into your older videos)

I'm pretty sure all my Jira tasks' descriptions fit into 140 characters for the very same reason.

The small(ish) places I've worked at (30-150 people) just have ping pong tables (and tournaments once big enough). There aren't any facebook-sized offices where I live, sounds like something I would avoid though

terrible ;/ Was that at a game studio? I feel like they take the worst parts of the generic IT workplaces I'm used to and make them even worse

God, I hate ping pong. Why does it have to be part of corporate culture? I hate the sound of the stupid ball, everything.

Some fighter game should be the go-to for corporate "fun" and tournaments. Like, Tekken - it's got multinational evil corpos, sleazy old CEOs, it's perfect. Fuck ping pong.

I love how the description/prompt barely matches the generated slop.

Someone is generating hundreds of those until one of them isn't pure crap, specifics be damned, and then hopes to sell it as a stock image.

From the same publisher according to Steam. A publisher with a vibe I'd say.

Randomly: it's always struck me as peculiar that "pettish" means "subject to fits of offended ill humour; childishly bad-tempered and petulant; peevish, sulky" and "proceeding from" a pet.

What sort of pets did the Elizabethans have that fits *that* description?

Oh, wait: "Synonym: men."

И винаги изглежда лесно отстрани

Everything about this is amazing :)

Yep, Hades' combat was a chore I had to do to progress through content. Here, I'm having good old fun and progress is a side effect.

And while I am at it - the difficulty scaling in Absolum? I can't put into words how smooth it happens, this needs to be studied!

Amazing game and great in co-op! We are 15 hours in and it keeps surprising us with new stuff. Haven't even unlocked all the Rituals. One of the top games this year.

That's a big part of what keeps the game fresh! Every run something new happens, from minor quests that nudge you towards a hidden path to new characters/skills being unlocked.

Everything has a nice voice over, interactions between characters if you play co-op, so much stuff!

I may need that explanation/analogy. I get the general idea when I read about such things, but if I try to explain it, all I have is "stuff moves relative to other stuff and then you do math" 😅

Both images are melting weirdly near the edges. My bet is on some camera app's brand new "AI enhancement" feature being shitty.

The MtG card Poison Dart Frog. The art shows a very cute colorful frog sitting inside the lower jaw of a skull among some leaves. The rest of the skull is behind it, in the background.

Just look at it! It's the definition of "If not friend, why friend shaped?"

Has the push for ultra realism in games gone too far? In this 42 page essay I will...

Phone notification of @touhin.bsky.social repling to me: "The video has the logo of the source and you can see my bio which states all credit goes to videos as labeled."

It's even funnier that they replied with the usual knee-jerk "all credit goes to the author" crap before blocking:

Post by @touhin.bsky.social with a video of Pallas cats. In a reply I point to the source while being as condescending as I could: "You could credit the source of the content you are farming", with a link to the original video at manulization.com

I got blocked, of course. One of the downsides of Bsky's block feature - people can erase any attempt at correcting them (even when you are more polite than me here)
