It’s a bit of a long video, but man did @gamersnexus.bsky.social cook. For sure this should be a required video to watch. Hopefully this gets watched by a few in congress as well. Feel free to share with your state representatives. youtu.be/YYU_geUwQoA?...

I have to remind myself there is a hide post feature here. I kind of wish there was a way I could track that if just to figure out who to unfollow at times. Like if I hide say a good chunk of a persons post, I’d probably unfollow them for my sanity.
Apologies, but I'll be temporarily suspending Bow Wow Wednesday today due to passing of Eikichi Iwai, bassist for Final Fantasy XIV's iconic in-house band, The Primals. Instead, I'd like to post one of the greatest songs (and basslines) ever recorded in the franchise's history. Thank you, Iwai.
Definitely great to see. This should be a sign that with turnout and connection to voters in an area, anything is possible. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

As a PC/Gaming person, I’m still finding it weird hearing everyone talk about Jensen outside of that sphere. I know it wont swing Nvidia back to gaming hardware anytime soon if Jensen is ousted, but it will be interesting to see.
If this happens, I look forward to the @gamersnexus.bsky.social video on it. Not that it will change the direction Nvidia is going, but it would be a good watch.

Thank you very much for your continued support of THE PRIMALS. As announced earlier today, we are deeply saddened to share the news of the sudden passing of bassist Eikichi Iwai.
I think I’ve figured my overall take on the House House thing throughout the night: I think they should have disclosed it, however I don’t think an AI disclosure should be a binary yes or no. It should be thorough, in-depth, and ideally specifically where and how it was used.

jokes aside i hope we also kill the perception that any one server has better players like c'mon now every circus has their clowns
they transgressed (slightly and understandably imo) and then repented. their repentance counts for nothing of course, with the online moral order being the graceless thing that it is anyway socially policing one another is always the wrong approach and you guys just can't let it go
Aftermath@aftermath.site · 4d agoBig Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate: aftermath.site/big-walk-ai-ig...
I think I’ve found the best way to explain the chase for AI in FF XIV terms: it’s essentially Zodiark. You have a group of people who derive power from “the line going up” and are realizing that it just can’t do that. They refuse to believe that, so they make a new god to save that way of life.
I’m definitely split on this one. The short is I think they should have disclosed it, but I don’t think a binary “yes or no” thing should be for this sort of thing. Like a lot of things, this is a spectrum issue and probably should have a nuanced approach.

This is neat. Nintendo of America is hiring a librarian to catalog their vast trove of development documents. This person will also be conducting interviews with important Nintendo employees to make sure their experience is preserved for future devs. careers.nintendo.com/jobs/4458631...

This is sad for Man United. I’m trying to remember if we looked this bad under Frank or not. Villa is there for the taking to a degree, but United are so poor.
The only way this could be perfect is if it was raining hard in Manchester and the waterfall appeared.
For those curious, @texastribune.org has a great article discussing another factor that helped Texas go blue: school vouchers www.texastribune.org/2026/11/07/t...

Oh well. Texas is blue so nothing can ruin my weekend. Not even a Tottenham loss.
The universe needs to keep me humble with this result. I can’t win all the time.
All thing said, if you told me at the start the week I could make Texas Dems win all elections and all it would cost me is a Tottenham loss, I’d take it. Still time to try and make something.
If I can make a VAR change, allow them to recommend a yellow if it’s the first. The ref can disagree, but they should be able to recommend it.
I think that probably should have been a yellow and maybe VAR should have the ability to make those calls. I could have seen it go either way and been fine, but for sure it needed a yellow for Leeds.
