when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

I cannot believe family members are actively trying to get me to promote an anti-vax agenda and support RFK JR of all people. AND CLAIM THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE POLIO VACCINE??? Like no, I'm not going to do that! Leave me alone! Have some common sense!

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." -- Arthur C. Clarke, born #OTD 1917

maybe wishful thinking, but i do hope that gamers on bsky will be much more civil than those on twitter/x while the game awards are airing! 😅 let us remember that an award doesn’t define whether a video game is incredible or not. no matter who wins, all games nominated are great in their own way! 🎮

I'm always constantly battling the need to balance my research interests and my video game insights here. And honestly, I'm too lazy to separate them into different bluesky accounts and they're both a part of me. So apologies to both sides of my followers for getting the alternative side!

You know, sometimes I'm one of those people that go "hm, maybe the Game Awards should have a little more balance instead of 90% jury, 10% voting" and then I look at the Player's Voice being three gacha games, the Elden Ring DLC and Black Myth Wukong.... maybe Geoff has a point actually

Two members of my dissertation committee finalized, two more to go!!! One I think is pretty much set and just needs t, and the other one is going to be a doozy to solidify because biostatisticians are apparently very busy here which is totally fair. Fingers crossed.

that Korea does this, immediately, in the face of actual soldiers trying to impose martial law - when members of our own congress voted for a coup hours after the J6 mob stormed congress, and the coup instigator won the next election - is about as scathing an indictment of America as I’ve ever seen

1) South Korean President declares martial law to try and go around parliament. Protests in the streets begin. 2) Parliament convenes and unanimously votes to negate the decree. 3) Soldiers withdraw and celebrations in the streets replace protests. All in a matter of hours.

Subtitles aren’t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. They’re important for players in loud environments (who can’t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.

I'm glad to know that inside every scientist there are two phases: "Whoa, utilizing an operant conditioning model to showcase the important of complex environments for neuroplasticity could have incredible applications for the future!" "Rat drive rat car!! RAT DRIVE RAT CAR!!"
