i think "excited" is too high energy of a word to describe my feeling about this announcement but i am aggressively looking forward to it

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

oh for sure! i don't think this is unique to gen z, just something that becomes exacerbated when we perpetually have access to things we associated with our youth

r.j. nye @ego573.com · 23/09/2026
lowkey i think it's because gen z do not know how to graduate (or escape) from their youth. they find novelty in recontextualizing what is familiar to them because they don't know how to move away from it altogether

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

incredibly good write-up of not just the album but of how our musical tastes evolve during our youth. i see so much of myself in the writing, in describing a curiosity for exploring new music using through-lines between albums, artists, and musicians

I think anyone who enjoys using genAI is not getting enough enrichment from like... life itself. It's like preferring to eat chicken nuggets over a friend's home-cooked meal because you never expanded your palate.

I remember it mostly as the place they kept high-priced items like CPUs and RAM modules, but I figure doing cash deposits in the same "accessible but secured" space as that inventory was probably easiest

'Gone To Earth isn’t simply soothing because, for all its beauty, it has an unsettling, unmooring quality which, prefiguring the post rock of the unknowable future, derives from dismantling conventional practices and presumptions.' #DavidSylvian's Gone To Earth turns 40 today! buff.ly/0hgKSgs

i wrapped up 7.5 today and i want to say that i love final fantasy xiv
A screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV. The scene shows a dark, space-like void with a heavenly portal in the distance. A glowing beam of light, acting as a walkable platform, emerges from the center of it. In the far distance is a small mage-like character, appearing about to walk onto it.

Felt this way when the first-person mode came out for GTAV. It felt awful to do the same violent antics that were so normalized in the older games. But I replayed GTA VC recently and surprisingly felt the same amount of repulsion despite my fun teenaged memories of VC. Maybe it’s also age?

You're a vertical shooter. Translating the entirety of the first Darius collection was a job that took me two days and cost Taito or whoever footed my bill like $500 back in the day. If you wanna save money, just don't hire generalist agencies where like half the fee is pure profit margins lol

Concept art is the most poisonous place to use Al. That's when your creative vision is the most fragile and undeveloped. When you see what the Al made and say, "That looks cool, I want my game to look like that!" it's like it's secretly swapping out your baby with its own.

I’ve been fortunate to have avoided the bad faith hot take zone for Dawntrail, so I’m also finding myself really liking it and especially Wuk Lamat 1/3 into its story and I’ve found it to be a warm with a lot of nuance. It needed to let the WoL stay in the background so it could breathe
