I have never really enjoyed extraction shooters. Division 2's Dark Zone got the closest but still meh. I have been playing #ArenaBreakoutInfinite and I think it makes the genre just the right amount of accessible while keeping the realism and looting deep enough for more hardcore players.

The more I watch Andor, the more I am impressed not just by the acting, writing and production design but how...humble it is. It allows so many characters to play key roles. Diego Luna knocks it out of the park but the show doesn't feel carried by him. Its both about him and not about him.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

That is pretty interesting. I hadn't thought about the cooling problem being easier in space. Doesn't really answer why, for what purpose and why its not attached to a thing that needs power (at least based on the article).

Right. But they are usually attached to spacecraft with energy needs right? I think its more about "putting a reactor on the moon" that is a bit more confusing to me.

It’s even funnier because in the context of the interview, these questions come out of nowhere but it’s clear from the title/intro that the author’s mind is in the gutter from the start.

Appreciate how much the San Francisco Standard wants to ask the robot hand bed guy about sex stuff sfstandard.com/2025/07/30/a...
What about “adult” use cases? A lot of people on X pointed out that those are two hands by a bed, after all. Could it be used for other in-bed activities?

No.

Do you think people might still try to hack it for sex? 

It would be really hard — they’d need a Ph.D. to hack the lamps.

So the Lume will do no touching at all? 

We are looking at this. A back massage is something that a lot of people have requested. But other startups are working on this. And we want to avoid any kind of human contact to start, for safety reasons. 

We want to get really good at handling soft objects — clothing — where, if you drop a T-shirt, nothing's going to happen. But anything with human contact and you’re venturing into a realm where, if it malfunctions, worst-case scenario, you hurt someone. So we're being careful.

Sorry, meant to use a higher-res version of the Star Wars: Zero Company splash art. Btw, Zero Company is an upcoming, turn-based tactics game set during the end of the Clone Wars due out in 2026. Trailer is cool: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcxn...

Okay, I know Star Wars: Zero Company takes place in late Clone Wars but LOOK AT THIS ART and tell me they couldn't make an AMAZING turn-based tactics game with Cassian Andor set in the early Galactic Civil War period?! Its basically already there. EA - I have a perfect DLC for you!

Andor is exactly as good as everyone is saying it is. In fact, its way better than it has any business being and transforms a character I didn't care about into one I want to see more of. Andor reignited my desire for more Star Wars. I can't wait for is Star Wars: Zero Company which is 2026...
