Glad I could give you another thing in the list of stupid things we do to harm creatures that gives middling returns on quality that we otherwise wouldn’t miss.

Capon, if anyone is wondering what the translation is trying to say.

The same time we all die in a nuclear winter.

All hail the age of Doug!

Golf isn’t going to play itself…

Good news! So are the Russians and Chinese and Israelis and…

“Tulsi, we need you to step aside. You can do it yourself, use any excuse you want, or we can do it for you.”

You wanted Gabbard gone because she’s a woman.

I wanted her gone because she’s a moron.

We are not the same.

I’ll take it, though.

Maybe they’ll let us play all the story content they removed once they have a reason to stop removing content to sell more.

It is, and it’s great so far :) Enjoy, fellow crawler.

Good news, Sony desperately wants to sell you one.

No, they don’t have a handheld, and that’s kinda the problem. The ecosystem is growing without them. Steamdeck, Xbox ROG Ally, Nintendo Switch. That’s 100% of their competitors, each with handhelds that nearly came out of nowhere in the last few years. Sony is SUPER behind the curve on this, and no amount of “New PSVita5” is gonna save them. They biffed it with the mobile market, and instead of buying in and playing second fiddle, they want to take their ball and go home.

Their strategy right now is literally “Let’s charge more to sell less, and let’s also kneecap a revenue stream that could prop us up during this memory crisis.” Sony has been winning so long that they forgot how easy it is to lose. They are gonna find out.

Edit: I just want to point out that Sony could have easily shifted this into a win. “Hey, this is Tim Sony, President of Sony. Right now, things are hard for everyone in the world of consumer electronics. For 20 years we’ve tried to bring you the best value in entertainment through quality games and low prices. Unfortunately, today, we have to raise our prices to match cost. I know you don’t like it. I don’t like it, either. However, we still want to give you the best value we can. While we can’t control the cost of components, we can control the cost of our first party games. So, now when you buy a new PS5, you get your choice of any first party game you want for free. Any game, no exceptions. We’re also throwing in 6 months of PlayStation Plus as well, which gives you even more games to play immediately. While we wish we could bring you a lower priced console, we are trying our best to make it so that you don’t have to spend more to have the same amount of fun. Now, get out there, and kill, kill, kill.”

My family took a novel approach to it. Everyone gets judged when they die, but only the worst go to hell, and the best go to heaven. The rest wait around until the rapture and then there is Judgement 2: Judgement Day where all the people that were waiting around get judged against all the new people, and then they are split based on some kind of holy bell curve. It was really just a lot of bullshit to get around my family being full of drug addicts and racists and no one wanting to admit that if they go by the Bible they are hellbound.

Neuromancer if anyone is curious. One of the best opening lines in literature.

Same. He’s got that, “He’s crazy, but he’s our kinda crazy” vibe going on. I guess I’m just glad he’s on our side. I’m not buying any merch though.

If a few years of AI have wiped out your ability to code, you weren’t great at coding anyway.

Remember when the world didn’t suck so bad that you could have windows above the third floor that people didn’t want to jump from?
