Boo to washy's relatives, they should just stay on the boat if they like sea germs so much

Being forced to commute again and also forcing myself into he gym3x/week has allowed me to keep up yeah

Of course... inevitable really

I love the detail that Bahamas William still writes in the big loopy cursive of a Sixth Grade Pen Pal

A blue-red Powered Cube deck on Magic Arena with all the fixins. we got Black Lotus, we got Time Walk, we got Channel + Emrakul and a bunch of draw 7s, recursion and ramp

I burned out on mtg for a bit but I still can't resist some good Cube. 7-0 with this beauty.

i don't want to say it but the adage about glass houses might be a bit literal in this case

Maybe when people talk about "the wisdom of age" they just mean being too tired and your body needing too much maintenance so you don't have the spare time to act foolish

I have a limited amount of energy in my life these days and I can expend it on topical jokes or dental hygiene, and one of those is more useful in the long run

this looks great and also just seems way more sustainable as a regular thing from a physical perspective, so it feels like a smart move.

A new era of economic justice as even the indoor rich end up severely mauled by their high ceilings and elaborate chandeliers

Oh nooooo

Yeah the anime is a very straight adaptation which I get it as a big popular thing, you might not want the heat from fucking around with it. but I think the spirit of the thing comes through more in the comic where it's having fun with the format

I'm glad that you're getting to read/watch it. I feel like you'll get a lot out of it in terms of "here is a guy making a comic and he is just fucking goin' for it full speed."

Aw but just look at her, just starting out her career, so full of vigor! We need more young people in politics, so who can blame her if she's getting a little help from her mom to get started?

Thinking a lot about how the work AI is tapped to replace are necessarily functions that are undervalued and underpaid in the first place - so in any case these companies are saving a miniscule amount of money (if any) just to show their disdain for workers and players alike.

Party realignment in our times

You're killing me here, I need it so bad...

Mira is saying "Oh, I'm glad [Hanharr]'s gone... it's like a weight off my shoulders. I don't have to keep watching my back every minute, wondering when he's going to show up." Directly behind her back, over her shoulder, a Hanharr who refuses to despawn from the area stares down at her.

Catching up to @morecivilized.bsky.social in my KOTOR 2 playthrough

i enjoy the game's rich internal fiction that any player would ever care about or remember any of the generic enemy names

(Beartato and Reginald are reading books on Sailors' Wisdom) REGINALD: "Red sky at night, sailors delight." BEARTATO: "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning." REGINALD: "Red sky at dawn, a storm's coming on." BEARTATO: "Red sky at noon, a storm's coming soon." REGINALD: "Red sky at dusk? That counts as night. Refer to previous wisdom, all right?" REGINALD: "Red sky tomorrow fills sailors with sorrow." BEARTATO: "Red sky today? That's prob'ly okay." REGINALD: "Red sky on the ground: you're upside-down." BEARTATO: "Reader beware, you're in for a scare." Oops, wrong book. REGINALD (tossing book away): I'm getting nothing. BEARTATO: Same. (They peed outside. Turns out they were on a boat! The sky is swirling purples and greens with some yellow orange spirals). REGINALD: Curse you, sailors

Sailors' Wisdom

what if for my birthday you bought my book. haha jk. unless……. simplicitybook.xyz

Chaiplurbugo, really rolls off the tongue

idk at this point i think we should hear this ysme lady out

Dear God it's worse than I thought. He's suffering from acute Neptunia poisoning. I'm very sorry. But we may have to make a decision soon about how to let him end this with dignity.

This is a good read about the feedback loop of "news" and speculation targeting right wing would-be finance bros. I'm also thinking about @ckunzelman.bsky.social on the last Game Studies Study Buddies talking about social media hustle scams on TikTok always leading back to the Heritage Foundation

I guess the good(???) news is, that economic conquest is extremely shaky and none of this bullshit actually makes money in a sustainable way so it's all gonna collapse soon. I just wish any of these ghouls was going to be held accountable after.

Hell is the fundamentally unbridgeable gap between ourselves and other people. Heaven is ignoring that fact and bridging it anyway.

And on the QA side I know across the tech industry there's been a shift from dedicated QA teams to outsourced contractors and then crowdsourced/gig economy outfits and now GPT shit... not surprised to see SE leading a charge to the bottom there too

God I hadn't heard about the latter part of this. Truly embarrassing stuff.

It would be a lot easier for me to feign shock on how bold this is if I hadn't already familiarized myself with the supplemental materials. So instead I will simply offer genuine respect.
