Anytime someone says "I just asked ChatGPT [some mundane thing you could easily figure out]" I stop paying attention to anything else they have to say because if they're not willing to use their brain for more than 2 seconds then I'm not willing to use my time on them for more than 2 seconds 🤷🏼

"Girl 2 soup"? Linux, I don't want to send a girl to soup. I would have soup with a girl, OK, but I-I don't want girl soup.
A Linux package ready to update names "gir1.2-soup-3.0". "gir1" kind of looks like "girl" with this font.

A Mayan Jade mask fixed to an engraved wall is facing the camera. The edges of the mask and its eyes are glowing with an eerie green light. To me it seems the mask is judging me and is about to unleash a terrible punishment.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

If this is legal, it needs to be made illegal. There is clearly something broken when clear monopolies are allowed to flourish. The fact that this is inherently a right-wing operation is beside the point, NO company should have this much power over media. This is going to be a bloodbath for workers

I almost renewed my ESO+ subscription to play with my brother, we enjoyed playing through the story together. Then I remembered Microsoft has a mandatory clause to train AI on VA works. French voice actors collectively said 'non' ✊, so the new seasons have no french VA. Fuck Microsoft (reason #944).

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

"Quest", a 6-panel tiny & Tall comic strip.

Panel 1: tiny, a sword & board adventurer, prepares to assault a dark tower. In his speech bubble, a search icon and the keyword: "gLORY".

Panel2: He ascends a flight of stairs, fighting off skeletons that spout "...ver our excusive offers!", "sponsored conte..." and "subscribe to the newsletter to..."

Panel 3: Atop the stairs, a dragon's blazing "IT APPEARS YOU ARE USING AN AD BLOCKER." sends tiny running.

Panel 4: Undaunted, he uses a vine to climb to the tower. On its wall, the words "subscribe now or log in to continue reading (too much/month)".

Panel 5: At long last, the treasure room! Only a pool of vicious fishes separated him from the chest. The fishes all have "comment" written on them.

Panel 6: Alas, in the chest, tiny finds only a jester, Tall, who says:

It basically forged near everything I love about video games; rich environments, narration, immersion...
The beginning of Myst. An old book is open. Its pages are blank, safe for a panel on the right page: an image that seems to hover on the page.
It depicts a small dock on the side of an island. The bow of an old ship can be seen on the right. Further ahead, stairs turn climb to a giant cogwheel.
The only UI element is a little hand, about to touch the picture and travel to a fantastic world.

The best example of this still comes from Pillars of Eternity.
A dialogue box featuring a scarred monk asking, “Are you- Are you real?”

The available options are:

1. “Yes.”
2. [Lie] “No.”
3. [Lie] “Yes.”
4. “No.”
5. “Now that you ask, I’m not so sure.”
6. “There is no way to be certain.”
