I was already honored to be a voice in their game, but now I’m DOUBLY grateful to have @doublefine.com’s continued support as they unabashedly celebrate our collab! (And please don’t worry. While my success & public joy seem to be upsetting to some, I feel like I’m getting to live my dream life!)

The optics of the government paying €505 million to end the fuel protests because they didn't want to be yelled at by Facebook populists, but claiming there is no money when public transport fares go up... to quote Mad Men "not great, Bob!"

The whole Irish proficiency test thing is especially ridiculous because Ireland is facing a fairly low rate of multilingualism across all languages, which isn't a Bad Thing in itself, but you know who's really insanely good at picking up languages? I M M I G R A N T S

In a way, believing LLM produces reasoning is akin to believing in Intelligent Design. "As life is so complex, it must have been intentionally created so God exist" is the same than "Because LLM output is so well-articulated, it can't just be statistically produced, and therefore LLM are reasoning"

So sweet of the school to hand out personalised scrapbooks filled with pictures of their activities throughout the year. It's a shame that under "Culture Day" they photographed the Child holding a French flag instead of a Belgian one which means that unfortunately I have to set it on fire

the decor of Irish pubs outside Ireland compared to the decor of Irish pubs inside Ireland is truly something to behold

an irish pub in the United States, with a brick wall covered in old whiskey ads

a metal corrugated wall of a pub in ireland, covered in Nordic spirit stickers

Which staff would you choose? #IndieDev #VisualNovel

Three hand-painted staffs. The leftmost staff has a dark, reddish wood that has a hollow flame-like tip. It has winding red-purple flame from bottom to top and a pink-purple crystal in the hollow part at top. The centre staff looks almost like a plain walking stick with a bit of purple fabric tied towards the top. The right staff is also darker wood and has more twists and bends than the other two, ending with a final almost wave-like swoop at the top. It has a blue-purple crystal in the top swoop and crackles of a gradient dark blue to bright green water or lightning texture along the entire length.

I dare dare dare you to guess which one of these gorgeous pieces was made by a woman and which one clearly wasn't

"The Fan" by Ron Schwerin: a painting of a conventionally attractive woman, robe undone and legs uncrossed, turned towards a fan in an erotic pose

Drawing of a naked woman in a heat-induced neurosis, presenting her underboob to a fan in an attempt to cool down. Posted by the artist, Ciaraíoch, with the caption: "heatwave cooling system"
