quick survey (please don't peek at other replies this keeps my method very scientific 👨‍🔬) if today in 2026 you hear a new game is going to be a roguelike what existing game do you picture it's like? seem to be at least 3 answers, for the same reason "has rpg elements" turned into "deus ex is an rpg"

If we want good game genre names we need to rebuild a world where the people who drive the vocabulary of games aren't hordes of terminally online consumers. Crowdsourcing is how you get Boaty McBoatface, the game genre.

like when the tea party paid for No Data Center yard signs in my hometown sometimes they don't care if it goes elsewhere just don't want it where it affects their home BUT step 1 is to add as much friction as we can to being anywhere they're trying to be we'll cross the next bridge when we get there

i assume our government at a federal level will follow this great finding by looking for a way to outlaw it and require berry fields to instead be coated with a generous layer of oil and coal

I miss when companies posted the “awards” they got from the ai companies for using over x number of tokens… they were so proud of spending money. What did the companies make with all that compute? Well… “that’s not the right question Chet.”

Damn. This is so disheartening. Judge Mehta has dismissed the Seditious Conspiracy charges against the Oath Keepers.

"Reluctantly," a federal judge dismisses the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases. Trump DOJ "excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle." "The court cannot write a different ending," he adds. buff.ly/NvVKnaW

good thread. for anybody missing context this is the commercial TLDR its entire reason for being made was to help children understand not everything they see on TV, but instead children believed this was real and they wanted one. incredible stuff 🦛
