I'm turning 21 yo tonight while canada enters a technical recession means both me and the economy are entering a rough new chapter.

i made smallcrate.com as a small site for myself to find new indie games from steam and itch.io in one place, and even though it’s still early, i’ve been using it to find random indie games i probably would’ve missed otherwise smallcrate.com

Look west after sunset tonight. The bright “star” near the crescent Moon is likely Venus, with Jupiter nearby too. The exact arrangement depends on your location, but across much of the world this week the Moon is sliding past Venus and Jupiter. No telescope needed. Source: Astronomy Magazine

been playing too much wordle with friends on discord and now i'm building my own version. you guess the word from its prefixes, roots, and suffixes instead of letters. new word every day from thousands, and the keyboard changes each time too. should be out in a few weeks

Screenshot of a word puzzle game with a Windows 95 style interface. The game board shows six guess rows with three slots each labeled prefix, root, and suffix. Two guesses have been made with colored feedback: green for correct, yellow for right part wrong position, gray for wrong. Below the board is a morpheme palette with clickable word parts sorted into prefixes (re-, pre-, im-, un-, mis-, dis-), roots (hope, help, kind, care, understand, power, thank), and suffixes (-ing, -ly, -ent, -able, -ness, -less, -ful). A taskbar with a Start button sits at the bottom.

Not clickbait, it's actual human brain cells being used to play doom. Steve Furber at the University of Manchester agrees that Doom is a big step up from Pong, but says much remains unclear like how the neurons know what's expected of them or how they "see" the screen without eyes.

Human brain cells on a chip learned to play Doom in a week

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications

Sigh, admitting your not educated enough to make an opinion on something is something I wish more people would do. You will not catch me forming any type of opinion about anything until I research both sides and even then, I always keep an open mind.

Two economists walking in a forest find shit. First offers second $100 to eat it. He does. They find more shit. Second offers first $100 to eat it. He does. First economist: "We both ate shit for nothing!" Second economist: "Not true we increased GDP by $200!"
