Finnair flight was cancelled so had to call their support. Their shitty AI slop customer service voice mispronounced the NAME OF THE COMPANY lmao Europes worst airline indeed

It's so draining and embarrassing being part of the video game industry Some of us are *really* trying to do good work, and it just feels completely, constantly overshadowed by fucking idiots doing what they describe as "business" Honestly just don't even like saying I'm part of *this* anymore

Just wow. I Googled to see if 18th century artist Henry Fuseli had ever painted Orpheus and Eurydice, and AI overview said: "It appears you may be blending the tragic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice with the distinct, spiraling noodle known as fusilli"

This terrifies me, until remembering that many of those games in NextFest will be forgotten 10 minutes after opening (if they open at all), are low effort shovelware, AI slop or asset flips while the others will have cultural relevance for many years after and probably some insane fanbase still

Steam Next Fest showcased more games in a single week than the entire Xbox One did in 13 years - and nearly matched the PS2's lifetime library. A snapshot of how many games are being made today. #SteamNextFest
