Saw the word "snollygoster" pop up twice today, so I'm putting this here just in case anyone wants to get in on the ground floor with me before the stock gets too high

The definition of the word snollygoster.

snollygoster /snŏl′ē-gŏs″tər/
noun

One, especially a politician, who is guided by personal advantage rather than by consistent, respectable principles. A shrewd person not guided by principles, especially a politician.

Over a decade late. I was horrified when I looked into the game way back then. It's improved slightly since then... But not by enough. But who cares really, they're making a ton of money

Between crazy CEOs, owners violating human rights, or owners supporting genocide; Valve almost has a moral obligation to add a developer and publisher block list to Steam. Would help with discoverability for all the developers not destroying people's lives too.

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

When the AI bubble pops & data centre demand plummets, are we going to see focus shift back towards all that extra hardware being used for Blockchain mining? You wouldn't think so at first glance, but people do weird things when desperate. I wonder if they'll find a twisted way to justify it.

Everyone's talking about the impact of AI use on game sales. The discourse is interesting. I'm wondering about the impact of AI thumbnails on youtube videos though. The feedback loop should be a lot shorter there, and data easier to obtain. Demographics should be easier to pool too I would think.
