Personally, I think it was the face plates. Consoles with removable face plates kick ass.

Her world is over, and everybody knows. But nobody understands.

I’d buy a squirt bottle labeled “NO AI”

how did it take this long to see those words between buns

Hot take: Fame breeds mediocrity, because those who come into influence often believe it merits them to be above critique, and have the power to reject it without consequence (and possibly punish those who would offer it).

This applies to both creative and non-creative fields.

It’s almost as if art is a means of connecting with others, and has a particular draw to those who feel outside of how human connection is “supposed” to work.

Almost as if art itself is a neurodivergent act of expression. Orthogonal to the typical.

I worry we’re not teaching enough social media literacy for people to understand that when you post in a public space, literally any human in the world is capable of seeing it. “My post breached containment” is not a thing. There’s no containment on a public platform.

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

The 'Board' game console could be the next Nintendo Wii, and I'm not exaggerating Seeing a live demonstration has changed my scepticism into eager anticipation - Board could change how we play videogames, and open new avenues of innovation for board game designers.

Excited for more people to get hands-on and finally realize what we’ve known for the last two years: Board is a truly magical game console, and is very exciting for both players and developers. www.wargamer.com/board/game-c...

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

i'm not trying to make this about me, this time, but among many other incredible and charismatic qualities, mamdani is the first political candidate in history that seems like maybe, just maybe, he's played firewatch or untitled goose game

I won’t lie: I love everything about this trailer, up to the point where they all have to start shooting each other with guns, because ultimately this is still a video game about shooting each other with guns.

i’m continually struck by the joy zohran has brought to this election and the absolute venom with which it’s been met.

The Mushka is out of the bag! 🐾

Mushka is your cute lil' friend that lives in Board - a new tabletop game console that blends board games & video games (board.fun)

We're excited to reveal Strata, a strategy game we developed for Board, a new game console that blends physical and digital play: board.fun

Tetris meets Chess.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I’m struggling to express just how much I love this piece of art. It’s honestly so perfect.

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Small English typo. “This is dispute by…” on the right leg should be “This is disputed by…”

Can I buy prints of this? It’s perfect and I want it in my home and in my friends’ homes. 💜 🐸
