The authoritarian left and the liberal left have so little in common that it’s frustrating the term “left” encompasses both.

LoadingReadyRun’s “watch+play” series could be worth a look. Not strict reviews, but entertaining videos based on terrible games.

You may or may not be making a valid point, but you need to be clearer about who you are referring to and in which context.

Assume I’m a psychopath C-level executive. Why would I spend huge resources on a success that earns money when I can earn money on fifty screwups instead?

Not showing up for me. Illegal in Europe or something?

Strychnine tea. At least you know what it’ll to your body.

One of them was my current employer when I was arguing about not managing to keep people on my team.

And I said exactly that, except didn’t walk out naturally. In another frustrated discussion I almost yelled “You can’t CHOOSE not to compete with them!”

-We offer a competitive salary.

-Places X, Y and Z offer much more.

-We don’t compete with them.

Stupidly enough - not satire. I’ve had this conversation with three different companies. They struggle to attract talent for some weird reason.

See, ladies? You don’t have to shave your ear hairs. Just grow 'em long and blend them in with the rest.

“We made our own instance where the mods allow people like me. But it turns out that instance sucks because of the people they allow there. So I want to come here where it is nice. But please allow it to be not nice? Anyway look at my cool sword tattoo I drew it myself. I can say Penis.”

On this topic, I am optimistic on how generative AI has made us collectively more negative to shallow content. Be it lazy copypaste journalism with some phrases swapped or school testing schemes based on regurgitating facts rather than understanding, none of which have value and both of which displace work with value, we have basically tolerated it.

But now that a rock with some current run through it can pass those tests and do that journalism, we are demanding better.

Fingers crossed it causes some positive in the mess.

I think the dude is just watching porn on his TV stand while a murder scene runs by in the background.

“You can now get multiple pets (after getting max hearts with your starter pet).”

“You can now place hats on cats and dogs.”

I have a goal for my next playthrough

When trying to find the original top image, “male female hardcore” was a poor, poor choice of Google image search terms.

Youtube channel “Second Wind” has excellent indie game coverage.

They do “Bytesized” for short reviews of new games. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUBKwq0XD0uesOmUb2GTsc6rVp0mILcOY&si=lB8ZOIy3hraaMyG6

Also they have “Hidden Gem” where they stream an older indie game that went under their radar.

Plus most of their other stuff is pretty on the indie pulse.

Needlessly rude and void of useful feedback.

0.25^0.5=0.5

As a european it’s always been fucking WERID how americans panic and reach for their guns at the mention of socialism.

Good morning! Now ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE pack up and come with me, we’re going on an adventure chop chop!

Managed to try Shapez 2 Demo. It has me proper hyped for the release.
