Are people going to act surprised when he doesn’t just leave?
We’re just continuing the bardic tradition of Homer. A bunch or litigious oral storytellers, building upon the work of those who came before…
OpenAI is only following one of Steve Jobs' favorite Picasso quotes, which probably came from T.S. Elliot: "Good artists copy; great artists steal."
Software engineers of the future are going to be evaluated on their “Token Efficiency Rating” because their employer is gonna want to throttle that shit.
Social media keeps reminding me every day how the essentialist belief in “good people” and “bad people” excuses bad actions and dismisses good actions. I don’t know if it’s the root of all evil, but I’m pretty sure they share an apartment together.
I’m becoming increasingly convinced that cynicism produces bad policy.

My favorite representation of Emperor Calus. Adorbs. I found it on Reddit years ago. If anyone has the original attribution, throw up a mention. #destiny #destiny2 #destinythegame
📚💙 #booksky As a very young kid, this flip book taught me about the basics of storytelling and gave me permission to create my own stories. 40 years later, I still have it to remind me.
Incredibly fond memories with the Destiny raid team. Watching Twitch streamers go for world-first on the new raid was peak gamedev! #destiny #destiny2 #destinythegame
I remember writing the line "Guardians make their own fate" into a script when I was building the Atheon encounter. I wanted there to be fiction for understanding how they were able to come back after a wipe, since Atheon was "writing them out" of the timeline. #destiny #destiny2 #destinythegame
Discovering this book as a kid was so massive for me. I still have a very clear memory of picking it up at a Waldenbooks and opening the front cover the first time.
My wife and I have started to loudly proclaim our desire to buy various strange things to see which of our household objects is spying on us.
My game dev friends, please let the LAN party dreams of the 1990s go. Stop designing multiplayer with the assumption that strangers talking on the internet makes game better. That’s over.
I've been informed I need to stop singing K-Pop Demonhunters around the house, but I don't know how to stop and also, I don't want to.
