I wish Iโ€™d known there was a German Shepard vs Balls drinking game baked into John Wick 3, before I sat down to watch it.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Iโ€™m just enjoying that the simple existence of binary-triggers suggests that people have been using non-binary triggers for years.

Angela Geiss Sound Design Portfolio

ahhhh okay, well, this feels quite awkward but:

I am interested in mentoring a person who is ambitious and passionate about pursuing sound design for games and is a woman / non-binary / someone of a marginalized gender.

Here's my website portfolio to prove I'm an actual person: angela-geiss.com

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.
