Hawks: Y'all remember that time Aurelio beat that guy to death with his gun, then got stabbed and died? What a legend.

Cereal Report, 8 August: They added a flavor. Whatever a flavor unit is they added one. It has a taste now, but it's slight. Certainly an improvement and no longer a passive aggressive slight to the dogs. Wouldn't recommend, but it's fine for fans of Bluey.

Sure, hand the ai companies another marketing win. It’s not a rogue ai, it’s a lack of willingness or ability to implement a secure sandbox, or even an air gap. It’s laziness but marketing stepped in and rewrote the story.

Poster for The Odyssey with Wishbone the dog. From the educational show Wishbone where the dog, Wishbone, would act out famous works of literature as the main character. The show, by volume, is one of the best repositories of literary adaptations so far.

I had planned to start a little ESO book club list for quests that I wrote. Essentially, "if you liked x quest, read y." So, as I suddenly have a lot of time on my hands to catch up on my tbr, I'm starting a thread I'll slowly add recs to! 📚🧵

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

So many Allman Brothers Band songs sound like they were made specifically to be used in TV commercials for trains. They are very good songs to add to running playlists.

If Kiln from @doublefine.com was a Saturday morning cartoon, this rediculously well crafted cigarette would be the main antagonist leading the group of bullies.

Screenshot from the game Kiln. The players pot was crafted to look like a cigarette. It's got ash, smoke, embers, and a filter all beautifully colored, coated, and fired.
