the market for petrol cars won't slowly disappear, like we'd always thought, it'll reach a tipping point in the near future then collapse entirely

thanks so much to the tons of people responding to this, but just to make it clearer, by "something else" I mean out of games entirely. maybe you're going back to school, maybe you're opening a business, whatever!

loooooooooooooved this so much. if you're annoyed by modern racing games and their intrusive interfaces, loud music and incessant business, this is the opposite. just you and an open road. forever.

If you live in the US and have been thinking of getting an EV this is an INCREDIBLE bargain. I know the brand is gone, but the 2 & 3 in particular share a lot of parts with their volvo sister cars

Remember the random dude who got 49020939 articles of uncritical media coverage in the space of two days because he quit anthropic based on his fears of existential AI risk? Yeah..........he's a climate denier. So is the whole AI industry. www.crikey.com.au/2026/09/22/a...

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

fun addition to this: kotick didn't just threaten publications, he threatened individuals. One of his lawyers was tasked with keeping an eye on every post I wrote about him, and they'd hound ownership about them if they didnt like them.

here's the tl;dr: free users COST US MONEY. That sucks, so we're trying to recoup some of that loss. Paid subs will of course never see these ads.

this is my first encounter with the sentiment that some of these cozy games are getting a bit MUCH, and i gotta agree. there's a sweetness here that just goes overboard, it feels weaponised, and ended up being pretty off-putting even when the relaxing gameplay itself was just fine

Updating this while I sit by the phone waiting to hear back from a recruiter to see if they have anything yet, still. I feel like I'm losing what's left of my mind in search of something very basic that no longer exists. I always hate asking, but invoices are coming in too slow and too small. Still.
