Starfinder team… I love you, but… these new emoji spells… Why didn’t you give them the emoji trait? Why are other spells having to reference them as “spells with emoji/moji in the name”? This is, like, exactly what the trait system is for… 😭

Man, I miss Healthy Times Fun Club so much. All ages, no drugs/alcohol, free food, and some truly amazing live shows. Lots of white whale memories made there, and I only went a handful of times! (Also thanks @holly.zone for dragging me out there the first time. 🥺)

Okay, if a CEO can’t be bothered to respond to an email, set up a meeting, or consider the ramifications of terminating agreements on the business… what on earth *do* they do?

C'mon @paizo.com, this is the best digital reference out there, by far, and you got it for free thanks to the blood, sweat, and tears of the community. I sure hope this isn't a move influenced by certain other paid digital references to push for an exclusive SRD license...

I’d love to see more pressure on platform holders to have more stringent quality standards than “literally anything goes.” There’s got to be some middle-ground between that and the ol’ Nintendo Seal of Quality, right? Filling your stores with slop can’t be good for anyone’s business in the long run.

I genuinely don’t know how the team thought the constant commentary was okay to launch with? It’s fine the first time they use any given voice line, as a sort of tutorial hint, but “Is that a cracked wall? We should try a bomb!” every single time felt almost like intentional parody.

in the very last scene, the main character suddenly claims that “the blindsided woke left” (who otherwise have not been mentioned up to this point) are simultaneously the status-quo that must be challenged and a new hostile takeover of the status-quo that must be stopped

Even coding, while it might seem pedestrian, is, to me, still a creative pursuit. I don't think AI is yet another "tool" you use; rather, AI replaces you as the creator and does your thinking, your creativity, and ultimately, your art, for you. (4/5)

> Mowbray admits that doing voiceover for EA nowadays is a "never-ending job" as it "constantly needs updating" Cry me a fucking river. This kind of argument just lets people who are already established hold onto that power until the end of time. If you don’t have the capacity, don’t take the job.

Final #NanoWriMo word count: 8080. Last sentence written: “They were broken and inactive, just like all the rest.” It was a first try! Nowhere near 50k, but I went from nothing to something and that’s what counts. It was just nice to finally sit down and get over my creative writing fears.

Just finished reading through the Legendborn books (Legendborn, Bloodmarked, and Oathbound)! Now to wait patiently for the final(?) book. Really fun series. Very YA, but plenty of fun to be had for adults, too. Really enjoyed the integration of Arthurian legend with southern US folklore/history.

I think the real answer is that ChatGPT shouldn’t be talking to *anyone* if the company can’t control how it responds/what it says. Anything less than that is unethical and dangerous. Wake me up when OpenAI is willing to be held liable for everything ChatGPT spits out.

ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide. From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXRm...

Played Storm Lancers this weekend and… yikes. Like, there’s a lot of promise there, but it’s just so obviously unfinished. There must be an interesting dev story there. Bonus oddity: the game icon/cover art has character designs that are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what’s in the actual game. Huh?????

The two main characters of Storm Lancers. The blue player looks kinda similar to the final design, but the red player looks TOTALLY different.

The red player, as shown in the opening cutscene. Her in-game model matches this design.

The blue player in the opening cutscene. His in-game model clearly matches this design.

I do not get why platformer people love pogo mechanics so much. It sucked in Ducktales, it sucked in Shovel Knight, it sucked in Hollow Knight, it sucked in Tropical Freeze, and think it has finally reached peak suckage in Silksong.

I forced myself through Roadwarden in spite of the jank. Highly recommended if you like a good text adventure with lots of interesting choices! …just maybe get it on Steam/itch or wait for them to patch the Switch versions.

Jason Hamilton @criticalham.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Aw… Roadwarden seems so neat. Annoying that the Switch 2 version is borderline unplayable. I’m wonder what’s going on in the code, ‘cause fps drops and input lag spikes shouldn’t be a thing in a text adventure. Also, like… did anyone test this with a controller? Truly baffling choices here. 😭

We played “Escape Game The Kitty: The Vacant Lot” on Switch a few days ago, and it was really quite cute. A very classic escape room style experience, reminiscent of flash escape games like The Red Room, The Green Room, etc. It’s only $5 right now ($10 normally) and takes maybe an hour to finish.

The true killer feature of kagi search is simply the ability to block websites from search results. I wish there was a search engine that also fully disavowed all of the trendy “helpful” LLM “features,” but at least they let you turn most of it off, I guess.
