I've obviously been out of work a long time, as I just caught myself thinking fondly about one of the most toxic workplaces I've ever been in. I mean, damn...

I may (or may not) look like I'm keeping it together well, but underneath I feel like a Jenga tower and all the players suffer from essential tremors. Years of living in the US have made all interactions with immigration massively anxiety inducing. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I'm a wreck.

Gamemaster Personality Quiz at Gunpoint
I have an instinctive revulsion for personality quizzes. I know it's not serious. There is no way a quiz stuffed in the spare pages of a teenage magazine ...

Yup. If your worldview is based on excluding or harming swaths of people, you get therapy well before you get friends.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

We genuinely wrote a game where the message is “mutual support is the only way we can save the world” and we expressed that through bonus manoeuvres granted out-of-turn by other players

I saw both this and the "9 games" meme going around, and decided to answer one with the other. Narrowing it down to just 9 was really difficult, which is why the collective response answers the other question. my9games.net/en/edit #videogames
Video game covers for: 
1 - The original Wizardry, Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (trebor sux!), which I remember playing on an IBM luggable.
2 - Shining Force, my first real tactics game
3 - Asheron's Call, still my favorite MMO of all time.
4 - Castlevania Symphony of the Night
5 - The Original The Secret of Monkey Island
6 - The Original The Legend of Zelda
7 - Dark Forces
8 - Arkanoid, which ate a lot of my quarters
9 - The Original Diablo, which almost caused me to flunk out of college

There are ways to do this (I did it in some online games 20 years ago). I can almost guarantee they are not the ways that will be implemented.

There needs to be an axiom called Younger's law: if you're a parent who runs to Christian nationalist orgs or Fox News to claim you weren't abusive to your trans kid after the state took them away, you are in fact abusive by virtue of nationalizing the story for propaganda.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

I miss everything before AI.

I miss not wondering if every photo I see is real. I miss knowing someone's writing is their own. I miss when movies were crafted by human hands and brains, not the recycled work of other creatives stolen without their consent. I miss not being constantly threatened with "learn it or get left behind," while being simultaneously told it will ultimately replace me regardless. I miss not having a countdown for when that replacement will happen. I miss not knowing who Sam Altman is. I miss the social trust we all had before AI eroded it. I don't think a slightly upgraded Google search was worth all of this.

Momentarily very worried, until I read the following: "People and horses can fall seriously ill, but they are dead ends for the virus: they do not carry enough of it in their blood to reinfect a biting mosquito, so the chain stops with them."
