I played about half of this when I first got it years ago. It was pretty good. Very much reminded me of a sort of solo World of Warcraft.

or allegedly I suppose ... it was on the news I think.

oh! I wonder if this contractor is the entity that paid off all those gambling debts?! did we ever learn who was behind those mysterious payments he collected?

soooooo... almost exactly like his confirmation hearing? weird.

Pizza is cool and all, but have ya'll got pizza so good that white women want it BANNED?! Pizza Badiali in Toronto (roughly Queen and Dovercourt)

I can't wait to try this one out 😂

NYT headline: The Partisans Are Wrong: Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win

Lmao the NYT is just pure comedy at this point.

not bowing to kiss the ring?! the nerve! 😍

oooo... I just watched the first two seasons then needed to know what happened so badly I read the rest of the published Manga.

While I really wish there was a quality romance plot, this was really enjoyable.

I'll definitely follow this game :)

PeterExplainsTheJoke • r/PeterExplainsTheJoke Hey gamers, this is the subreddit where you post a meme/joke you don't understand so it can be explained to you. You can also post memes about...

That's why I joined Peter Explains the Joke on reddit. old.reddit.com/r/PeterExpla... super valuable service.

that can't be real... can it?

Is there an "Idaho" in the middle east somewhere and I'm misreading? Is it common for the US to allow foreign nations to have "air bases" on US soil?

I'm confused. Google really seems to be filled with AI right now because there's no way this could be real right?!

I'm sure if you scroll through their comments there will be commensurate outrage at the Grand Theft Auto "get your money back from a hooker" feature. Any day now... maybe scroll a little further back? Weird... maybe they said it about GTA4?

@simonwillison.net Hey! 👋 A friend of mine just sent me a link to your Vibe Engineering article: simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/7/v...

I'd written about similar a few months back: alexchesser.medium.com/vibe-enginee....

I thought you might find it interesting 😀

Absolutely heinous.

The White House official response is going to be "LOL ... He died like a week ago"

Looks like he might have a pretty solid case of "the computer doesn't know WTF to put there so it made it up"

This is like that time he drew on a weather amp with a sharpie.

That's right folk, the most incredible photograph you've seen today was taken by a user who calls themselves "Flesh Banana"

Oh Internet, never change 😂

Does anyone know if Netflix still has "the keeper test" in its core compensation philosophy or did that go out when levels were introduced?

Eventually you fill your dungeon with increasingly complex death traps, automated loot collection systems, bio-disposal, undead minion, kidnapped villagers, etc...

Basically becoming a dark lord of evil in the name of expanding your cozy small business, supplying adventurers on the road to peril...

By digging it out and releasing a few giant rats, you discover adventurers will shop in your store if the dungeon is sufficiently perilous.

You get to upgrade your shop.

You also discover that adventurers who don't make it, drop loot in your dungeon...

I want a new video game. It should be a cozy mix of Stardew Valley, Shopkeeper sim, Factorio, and, Dungeon Keeper.

Start as an NPC running a small, broken down shop in a village where adventures pass through on their way to the dungeon of doom.

Eventually, you discover an abandoned mine shaft...

My favorite time of year!

I thought it was a recreation of this recent take on a classic...

I've recently really enjoyed Chip Hyuen's AI Engineering.

ANY recommendations for industry leading software engineering or business books that have transformed your outlook or professional practice very much appreciated...

What are some of the most transformative books you know about the business and practice of software engineering?

What have you read that has changed the way you think about building software?

My number one is probably Accelerate, followed by Software engineering at Google, then Clean Architecture.

Maybe if I grab a bunch of books from O'Reilly online 🤔🫠 ... Perhaps a bit of professional development will help.

I think the number one problem is that I've got "external" anxiety that is preventing me from engaging in the escapism of enjoying reading.

The whole time I'm reading fiction or nonfiction right now I have a nagging feeling that I should be studying or productive...

Y'all it's been like 2 weeks since I've been able to finish a book 😭 and I've had some proper BANGERS on my phone.

Books that I've legit been looking forward to for months and in some cases over a year.

Haven't finished one.

Such an iconic picture that you know what happened, even if you don't know what happened.
