Was searching google for an Ascii-Art Sergal to post in a conversation with a friend. Got a WI-FI router back.
Seeing all these "Dem so-and-so said this thing, but now they're saying the opposite, what a hypocrite." posts while also seeing the president propose renaming New Mexico to "New America" and showing off genAI designs for space force uniforms based on Starship Troopers is such a fever dream.
When did "grown-up" things become so patronizing? I'm getting emails from the credit bureaus saying stuff like: "Wow, congratulations on making your payments ON-TIME, you're so on top of this, way to go champ!"
saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again
John Wiswell@wiswell.bsky.social · 3mo agoPeople really do not appreciate the importance of the "do nothing" phase in the creative process. We are all about the kinetic energy, and forget its duality with potential energy.
Excited to share my solo-dev side project: KDM It's a multiplayer arena shooter inspired by Quake / UT2004. Everything you see and hear was built from scratch by me* :) Shoutout to @sourceprotogen.bsky.social for testing. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godot #arenashooter #fps
Past me: "I just cannot figure out how to draw hands, wtf are these noodley things?" Present me (to past me): "We learned the middle finger is actually the longest, the index and ring fingers are about the same length, there are 3 segments, not 2 and the thumb attaches to the wrist, not the palm."
"I don't get why people are mad about AI, it's just a t-" Here's Sam Altman proposing a future where "intelligence is a utility like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter". He is proposing a future where thinking is something you buy, not something you do.
It's fucked up when you're eating something and you choke on it like "dude, slow your roll, it's not air!"
At dinner a friend of mine was chatting about the logistics of their parents bringing 5 cats in a plane. With utmost conviction, my brain just kept spitting out: "One day, you'll be able to dehydrate the cats, and hold them like a basketball in your lap, then reconstitute them after!"
Resetting the counter on my "number of days I haven't thought about a 'Jesus' analogue in the Cars universe where said car's tires are nailed to that towing cross thing you see on some tow trucks" sign.

When you realize there actually exists a whole economic class that is able (and willing) to spend 1/4th of the cost of a house on one night's worth of entertainment. And that this is so normal that event coordinators can reasonably expect those 6 court-side seats to be filled.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵
Good morning. Someone please put Hank Hill in a fighting game so his intro line can be: "I don't usually condone violence; but for you specifically... I'm pro-pain."
Can't stop watching the GENER8ION - STORM music video. Genuinely mesmerizing and artfully executed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_m...
"I have a lot of financial stake in the tech industry that bet it all on AI. Please assimilate... I need this to do gangbusters."

The Sea of Thieves demo got me. AI: "So hop on board, raise your anchor and start figuring out the ropes" "Ok, how do I get on the ship?" <AI spends rest of demo spoon feeding instructions to the player so they don't need to 'figure out' anything> 1 step away from: "please play the game for me"
AmericanTruckSongs10@ethangach.bsky.social · 7mo agoHere's how Gaming Copilot will work on Xbox when it arrives later this year. According to Microsoft, 19 percent of early usage was just to chat with the AI as a companion. The guides are seemingly lifted without credit from the internet. It's unclear if that will change before console launch.
