Not to me but my mom went to get measured for a hearing aid last month. The doctor deadass asked her if it she thought it was still worth it at her age. She's seventy two. 😤 that's like ten years younger than you need to be to get elected US president

My main take away from the State of Unreal is Tim Sweeney unironically warning against one single platform usurping all of gaming, in the same speech in which he announces a new platform to usurp all of gaming.

I love when in 007 First Light we hear Bond "randomly" speak Montenegrin to an enemy. Not only because we learn about Bond's knack for languages and quick wit - but mostly because it's the game promising us that this will be a ride, and that we shouldn't worry about it and just enjoy it 😁

Also to throw some more oil on the fire: these are petty much exclusively US-millennial songs. I know very few of these. As a Dutch millennial, I feel there's far to little Gabber content in this discussion.

Making new slides for an upcoming class on features and iteration, and was inspired by @enikofox.com I hope it's not too reductionist, but based on prior experience this will come up in class 🤣

I guess the one good thing about today's socio-political climate, in which all of the power and influence is being wielded by decreasingly competent examples of the worst among us, is that it gives @rianjohnson.bsky.social plenty of characters for more Knives Out sequels.

"I asked Chat GPT" yeah well I wish it need not have happened in my time, said Frodo. So do I, said Gandalf, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

I have to thank the @gamegrumps.bsky.social; when my gen z students were walking around, confusing older colleagues with the word Gyatt, I was able to explain that it's what you stick out to the rizzler. The disgusted look on the students' faces as they forbade me to speak is all thanks to you 🥰

I absolutely love the pirate yakuza game, for just straightup turning into an actual episode of the Bachelor for half an hour. No gameplay. Just a series of scenes with real actors, and a plot-inconsequential love story. 10/10 no notes, completely works for me, immersion intact 🥰

We love and appreciate @writnelson.bsky.social in this house, but this is a massively contentious take that I just can't bring myself to agree with. Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 2 was so incredibly mediocre that I can't even remember a single interesting story beat. Respectfully disagree 😖
