One funny thing I've realized over time is that taking a break from a game you're trying to learn actually does help. I've found it's the case for fighting games and tonight was the first time I've grinded DoDonPachi in a few days and it's the best I've done. This image is just unironically true.

You have a front brain and a hind brain, and from what I've been told, also there's a left and right brain. Which means the human brain indeed has a "front and back, side to side"

I'm so fed up with everything. I am just looking for some regular work so I can pay my bills. I'm "over qualified" for any of the tourism jobs but apparently over 20 years experience isn't enough for a full time dev job anymore. I'm tired and getting angrier at it all.
Many people seem to want skills and knowledge that I have yet don't want to offer any pay. What is wrong with people?
The truth was that if United Health had an AI that was accepting a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate, United Health would stop using the AI in about 0.2 seconds.
Y'all. We did know we would sell out eventually but we did NOT know we would sell out in less than 12 hours. We are currently SOLD OUT of badges. Please stay tuned into our social media accounts and newsletters for any and all updates we may have. We just need some rest. 🥲
Trying to go see the new Resident Evil movie but apparently before I can enter the auditorium I have to have the spade key to unlock the door? And I only have the hearts key, which unlocks the route to the concession stand. Anyone know where to go next? A bit stuck
What's the odds on whether or not the bsky team axes trending topics this month?
Abra / Jessica Conwell, Serious Author™ 🏳️⚧️ 🇲🇽🌼@pairofclaws.bsky.social · 7d agoImagine sucking so hard at your job that "Everyone is making fun of this dork because his ideas suck so hard" becomes a trending topic on the website you work for.

Anecdotal observation and I can't be bothered to do in-depth research til my income problem is situated but: I've been seeing across a few games recently where comeback mechanics have become powerful enough that "intentional sandbagging to ride the comeback mechanic" is a viable meta tactic and...hm

Oh my GOD these references are only "unintelligible" if you have no experience with the humanities or other cultures AND can't perform a basic internet search. And this quote comes from a professor of languages and linguistics??? Please read some books. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Consort@consort.bsky.social · last wk.It took me all of 30 seconds with basic search operators to track down meanings for these "surreal dialect" phrases. "The ledger remembers" pops up in exactly the meaning these LLMs are using it in many many times through the 2000s in creative writing. It's just recycled references, as usual.

Pros: I've gotten real good at prettying up Cons: people can still identify me as "too old to be playing videogames competitively" Pros: Joke is on them, I've forgotten more about the game than they'll ever know, run this set, see what happens Cons: Winning still pays next to nothing
Consort@consort.bsky.social · last wk.Really wishing I had thought to snap a picture in my commentary outfit from yesterday with my makeup done and all the fixins. I was lookin GOOD.
