That's great! This was a lot of fun even in its AF state. I hope you can keep and expand the chaotic feel

I guess you'll always have "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" and the seasons prior to "All Engines Go"

After a solid run of about 13 years at Double Fine, It seems I have found myself with an abundance of free time. If you know anyone hiring for games VFX, please let me know!

I suppose this is as good a time as any to update my profile information, seeing as I was one of the 23 people laid off by Double Fine today. Twelve years ended today. I wish it could have been twelve years more.

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

Death looked down at the shape under the falling snow. Then he set the lifetimer on the air and touched it with a finger. A spark flashed across.
“You ain’t really allowed to do that,” said Albert, feeling wretched.
THE HOGFATHER CAN. THE HOGFATHER GIVES PRESENTS. THERE’S NO BETTER PRESENT THAN A FUTURE.

I'm hearing about this everywhere all of the sudden. Wife forced me to watch season 4 due to Ron Funchess. Is that the same reason why everyone is watching it?

That first-panel frown seems almost as if it was drawn as a revision. Those eyebrows seem out of place. Maybe the initial more-neutral expression didn't feel right?

I recommend reading this to get an idea of just how insidiously misinformation can spread into even the 'old' internet; the web pages that existed prior to the rise of LLM (or even automated) content hallofdreams.org/posts/physic...

Years ago (2017 or prior) I saw a post (I gotta assume Twitter) that consisted of someone writing English as if it was Korean. Not using Hangul to write English words, but arranging Latin alphabet letters in blocks following rules similar to Hangul. Anyone have ANY clue about it?

English words using the Latin alphabet arranged in blocks so it looks vaguely like Korean Hangul: "Hello there this is from memory"

@unreal-garden.com I don't know if it's an issue with bsky.app or what, but all your previews lately are showing up as 405 Not Allowed. Clicking on the link opens them up fine. This seems to have changed about 4 days ago?

Hard not to feel some great dishonesty at play here. When I'm logged into my work account or incognito, I get one set of ratings for the Battle.net app (2.3 stars too many in my opinion) while in my home account, it shows me much higher ratings (3.7 stars), WHILE CLAIMING THE SAME REVIEWS (139k)

Screenshot of the Google Play Store for Battle.net (not displayed) showing aggregate review score of 2.3 (137k reviews) with bars indicating a significant number of 1 star reviews.

Text for displayed review reads:

This app says it's "not connected" a lot of the times I open it. The few times when it is connected, my account is signed out or logged out...I don't want to have to log in every time I use the app! and then the other pages/tabs either take forever to load or don't load at all, with the exception of the store/shop tab... which seems to always work...

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Fun fact of the day: easiest way to see a rainbow is to look at your head's shadow. Technically the bow will be above it. Try to do it with a lot of mist (a house helps) and on a sufficiently sunny day you can even get to see it form a full circle.

I paid sixty dollars for No Man's Sky nine years ago and they refuse to stop making the video game. I've begged them to go home to their families but they won't stop adding new kinds of weird little guys and like, optimizing the gentle patter of rain on an alien ocean. Please let me pay for a DLC

Finally sold my sealed copy of Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition which I had purchased by accident. Doing the math, I held on to it for 16-17 years which seems INSANE to me, but math is math.

In my case they had to digitize some Betamax and VHS Pal-M (not regular PAL), so I'm grateful the rep took the time to verify they did indeed have that setting.

Misinformation? Disinformation? What's the difference? A very simple and festive explainer. 🎅 Credit: 🎨 @felixuncia.bsky.social 🧠 @brentlee.bsky.social

A festive two tile comic strip illustrating the difference between misinformation and disinformation.

Tile A: Disinformation.
Scene: Christmas morning in the living room. A child looking at wrapped Christmas present which seems to have the outline of a bicycle. Parents stood in the background are telling the child "It's from Santa Claus!".

Tile B: Misinformation
Scene: Later that day, the child is riding his new bike outside. While passing his three friends standing on the sidewalk, he shouts "It's from Santa Claus!".
