Alternatively, you could use WordArt

I'm not even joking!
This is literally cooler, aesthetics be like that

AI art is so rancid it caused a cultural inversion

One aspect of old-school adventure games, from text to point&click, that felt so revolutionary back in the day was the sense of agency. Every other game wanted you to go where it wanted, when it wanted. Adventure games let you go in any direction, do whatever you want, or at least it felt that way.

It sounds like the Trump admin tried to pull the TruCoat trick on Canadian trade negotiators and I'm so glad that we gave the requisite response:

On the whole "what counts as a retro game" discourse, if I can accept that early Kanye now counts as old school hip hop (College Dropout came out when I was 27) - and that's fine, it's cool - then surely all of us can be okay with Oblivion and the original Gears of War counting as retro.

I always enjoy the Amazon book reviews where the person didn't quite get the point of the exercise and they say things like, "the book arrived in a brown package on my front door the next day! It was in excellent condition."

I think the lesson here is that the Moroccan side is good? They're totally dominating play. The game against Brazil will be interesting.

Every time we all start talking about Gears of War again I marvel once more at the fact that the guy who voices Marcus Fenix is the same guy who does Bender Bending Rodriguez.

I love Forza Horizon but I hate the whole "drivatar" thing. Who wants AI that behaves like human players? Have you ever *played* a multiplayer game? It'd be like a Call of Duty campaign where all the enemy AI soldiers jump up and down when you shoot them. www.eurogamer.net/forza-horizo...

Weather for today's Blue Jays game is atrocious. Fortunately our roof doesn't leak like the one in Milwaukee (and it's an old, concrete roof so that's kind of saying something).

I guess NBC News might have some editorial guidelines about rounding dollar figures in headlines but doing so here erases the most trollish aspect of this slush fund. It's like when they remove the capitals from Trump's all-caps social rants.

A headline of NBC News: "DOJ sets up $1.8B 'anti-weaponization' fund after Trump drops IRS lawsuit," along with a photo of Trump.

From Damascus Gate by Robert Stone. Is this me? Am I earnestlooking and bespectacled? (Okay, I am bespectacled. And I at least aspire to earnestness, which probably means I qualify). (Also I'm the college instructor, not the doctor, in case that wasn't clear).

A text excerpt from Damascus Gate, by Robert Stone. The key sentence is, "He was earnestlooking and bespectacled, like a young doctor or a college instructor."
