Incredibly kind of Alexis to not mention the one of us saying "that was weird of me, right" is always me
Alexis De Girolami@vernavenisa.bsky.social · 4d agoAbout a third of the conversations @twoscooters.bsky.social and I have end with one of us saying "that was weird of me, right?" and the other regretfully confirming the truth, that it was really weird.
I really appreciate that EA patented this. Now nobody else can be this stupid or EA can sue them
Brendan Sinclair@brendansinclair.bsky.social · 2w agoNew EA patent has some unusual ideas about game dev roles.
Once or twice a year I politely demolish someone in a Facebook argument just to make sure my brain still works
Look at these idiots. They don’t even know that they have a video game credit
I will sometimes get an email, read it, think “I am too autistic for this” and then immediately mark it as unread — as though, optimistically, I believe that I will somehow be less autistic at some later date
Happy Pusheen’s Place release day to those who celebrate!!! We worked really hard on this game and hope you enjoy the haptic purrs when you pet your Pusheens 🥹

Dopamine addiction is such a hilarious concept. Yeah man, I’m addicted to feeling good. When I haven’t felt good in a long time, I feel… real bad
Just having some people quietly in the gallery would mean a lot to me so she knows she's not alone. If this is something you're interested in, please email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com for details.
Chicagoland friends, I have a favor to ask. I have a pro bono client, a Black woman, who is currently facing charges for allegedly pointing a gun at her abusive ex - who admitted to raping her. I would love if there could be a show of support for her at her next few court dates.
Tonight I filmed a collab with one of my favorite YouTubers and also got front row tickets to see my favorite musician at the Sphere next year so it’s been a big day for your girl
Normalize taking time out of your incredible Italian vacation with friends to do an unhinged photo shoot in order to capture the memories forever

elizabeth meant to search how long it takes to get to birmingham by train and accidentally google mapped "briningham" but then againt all odds that turned out to be a real place in the UK as well
She's Scottish, she was not sent home at noon, mainly because no British schools were, but also mainly because at Noon UK time the planes hadn't even hit.
flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · last mo.A helpful key here for understanding what wingnuttery is and how it works, here. I 100% guarantee you this did not happen and that the boys she’s talking about - she later clarified they were “Pakistani” - do not exist. And yet, I can also assure you Eve is *absolutely convinced* she saw this.
If you have to fold your phone maybe your phone is too big. Just a thought
Three years ago I met Pusheen at a licensing event and asked if they ever considered making a game. Then @vernavenisa.bsky.social and I spent a year refining the concept for Apple and Pusheen. Then @gains-skeets.bsky.social spent a couple years making it with an awesome team and here we are!!

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

It’s really important that we remember great artists can be horrible people. Fortunately, this does not apply to JK Rowling.
I should be able to announce A Thing for the first time in like 7-8 years in the next week or two and I'm gonna need a sedative to calm down about it
Adam: guess what right wing asshole is in the process of being deported by ICE. Me: Elon??? Adam: More personal. Me: My racist uncle Mac? Adam: …Slightly less personal.

We had to spend an extra week in the US thanks to losing all of our passports. We are so ready to be back home. Only the final boss remains: a six hour layover in Logan airport
Fine, I condemn Bong Bong the Clown. I find his japes perfunctory. His balloon animals strike me as vulgar. The bursts of laughter he evokes from children ring hollow to my ears. Now can we please get this city council meeting back on track
I know I’m more psychologically British than American at this point because we just went to a Wegmans and I spent the whole time feeling embarrassed by the opulence
This makes the fact that Tom Cruise player him in the movies extra funny

LLMs cease to be useful when they can't be used to scam people into unknowingly reading slop anymore. When the typewriter was invented, no one had to pretend its output was handwritten to get people to accept it. Typing had its own utility. LLMs are scamtech that have no utility outside the scam.
