I don't dunk on people but the dude saying 'If you hate AI, could you get through a working day if it all went away tomorrow?!'is testing my resolve on that so much. I don't use your dogshit thief machine incompetence tech, Sparkie. I fucking work for a living.
Hey folks -- Signal Boost time for this week's #TheFullLid. If you have a human-made creative project to promote, leave the details in a reply. Include the title and a link please, so folks can find it. For pre-launch crowdfunders let us know about 2 weeks in advance.
We know this isn't fun news; we really like streaming! But rather than constantly cancelling last minute, we thought it would be a good idea to park things until we can devote more consistent focus. Thanks for coming along on Sundays, we'll see you there!
The Sunday A&M streams will continue, with fewer disruptions (though there will be some). Plus with Halloween on a Saturday this year, we want to do a longer stream with another Dark Pictures Anthology game!
Plus it's been difficult to find a game of the type we like -- narrative and weighty -- that stands up well to that kind of disruption. With all that in mind, *we're going to park the Wednesday Night Cheese stream until further notice* (we'll reassess things at the top of December).
Hey folks! While looking for a new Wednesday night game for stream we realized that for the next several months we have a very high number of disruptions to our weekday streaming schedule.
Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Guest room reset / reorganized to store away the contents of the art room so it can be re-plastered and painted because owning a house is apparently a constant game of jenga. Thank the Maker for podcasts and bluetooth headphones.

And while you may assume sports fans spend more time in bars, the reality is Gencon people also drink a lot more than people expect, and tip better, and are, overall, more polite and less likely to set something on fire or get into an actual physical brawl.
Was talking to spouse about economics of Gencon for Indy (they're building 4 new hotels to keep the show here) and how Gencon attendees spend more money in Indy than sports fans and how that surprised a lot of people. But folks literally save up all year specifically to blow all their money here
