As an extra FYI: speedrun.io follows "a16z speedrun," a venture capital & private equity company under Andreessen Horowitz, one of the world's largest accelerationists. Either this site's maker does not know or does not care, but it ain't good if you're looking for financial support from fascists.

"Count Wampyr" is some real "Journathan" level naming
Anthony Oliveira@meakoopa.bsky.social · 3d agoI am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…
ANYWAY hey here's something more pleasant: a Baltimore architectural art piece. Available for purchase, $275 + shipping or free local delivery The backing is reclaimed matboard so the dimensions are a little janky; if it looks slightly crooked to you, that's why
dr. e. katherine@actualkatherine.bsky.social · last wk.I'm working on a wycinanki art piece of the Wilkens-Robins Building rn, if any Baltimore architecture appreciators want to call dibs on it in advance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkens...

Cassidy Hettesheimer@cassidyhett.bsky.social · 3d agoCheryl Reeve’s shirt today:
Haim Saban was a glory hog. He went out and marketed himself as the genius behind Power Rangers to the point that the online fandom in the late 90s thought he *personally* was behind every aspect of production. Which was to the detriment of the VERY talented production team actually making it!
Julie🍉@julieybm.bsky.social · 4d agoPower Rangers is such a weird title because it was produced by one of the greediest, most horrible people on the planet, but also features the hardwork of genius directors (Sakamoto) and a cast of underpaid actors learning and shooting fight choreography in a single day.
tbh owning the ModRetro deserves the same treatment that John Waters prescribed for people who don't have any books ("If you go home with someone and they don't have books, don't fuck them")
Bad Game Hall of Fame@bghof.com · last wk.You probably don't need us to tell you that ModRetro is a company very forwardly run by war criminal Palmer Lucky, and that knowingly doing business with them in the year 2026 is a clear sign that parties involved in any deal with them are too cynical / money-minded to give a shit about that fact.
So flipping radio stations today, I learned that the local classic rock station is being replaced by a large national contemporary Christian music operation. I had mostly stopped listening years ago, but it sucks to see local radio increasingly gobbled up like this.
Just in case anyone is curious, all of our work is lovingly human crafted!! …Well except for Woollie and Fetcham, they were voiced by dogs GenAI sucks and I hope our fans hate it too 😤

Oh gosh, I could give a million answers to this. But if I had to pick one, really focusing on the "massively popular" and "forgotten" aspects, I'll point to Myst. Myst was ABSOLUTELY HUGE when it came out in 1993, popularized FMV games as a genre, and has been almost completely forgotten about.
headfallsoff@headfallsoff.com · last wk.what's everyone else's fab examples of once massively popular and influential landmark titles in especially western games from back in the day that have just been forgotten and abandoned completely now. mine is black and white
I’ll say it - Scrappy-Doo is actually a great idea. The problem is that after one season of Scrappy, H-B threw out the formula - and half the cast - to focus on him more. When people “hate Scrappy,” I think people mean they hated the new format, and Scrappy - undeservedly - takes the hit for it.
✪ A Somber Birthday Gray in Late August ✪@jongraywb.blacksky.app · last wk.I hate to borrow the TV Tropes term of “Rescued from the Scrappy Heap” but that’s exactly what it is and it take creativity & treating the char like a char that doesn’t exist at the expense of others (much like Scrappy gradually did over time) His creator has even said that’s exactly what happened
Anyone remember those Phillies jerseys from like a decade ago that just said "ill" on them? Did I imagine those?

Oh another thing was the under 5 minute rule. If I see a task that will take less than 5 minutes to do, and you're not actively doing something else, just go ahead and do it. Simple chores like tidying up, wiping down a counter, refilling the water fountains, etc. Don't let them accumulate.
The life-changing advice I got was about food. I struggled to feed myself cuz, god, there's so much involved to making a meal it was exhausting event thinking about it. Therapist gave me "permission" to just eat whatever was easiest, nutrition be damned, something was better than nothing.
Leiracal@leiracal.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

This is laughable --- "reporting says", well yes, these reporters did a bang-up job anthropomorphizing the system they are talking about, and obfuscating the responsibility that OpenAI holds here. bsky.app/profile/mims... Some examples:
Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2w agoI've seen some folks try to frame OpenAI's unreleased model hacking a company that tests its abilities as a cynical marketing ploy but reporting says that absolutely was not the case: This was a real-deal escape of an AI agent that could have done vastly more damage. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/how-...
