the gamer entitlement is fucking insane. they're yelling at a developer who has spent a decade of his time writing Dolphin and PPSSPP for using Claude to build a prototype. the same people who don't pay for their emulator, certainly don't pay for ROMs are entitled to bully developers now?

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.

A series of bands cross the image from left to right, brighter at the bottom and darkening towards the top. A band of empty space is at the top of the image. About a quarter down from the top is a complex pattern of jagged, spiky shadows cast onto the rings. The icy towers casting the shadows are seen here at a highly oblique angle.

There's been a handful of games that are in cozy genres that are actually horror titles or have dark themes, as is the current trend. But the next step should be games that look like horror games but the twist is they're cozy. Date that zombie! Grow flowers in this lab for human experiments!

HOLY SHIT NEW IMPACT CRATER ON THE MOON This crater is 222 m (728 ft) across, and formed in spring 2024. Statistical modelling tells us this is a 1-in-132 year event. So the last time a crater this big formed on the Moon was 1894.

A large crater with bright rays is situated in the centre of this image. The dark, pockmarked lunar surface makes up the background.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

OH HEY just discovered The Tainted Cup by @robertjbennett.bsky.social is on Kobo for $1.99 also on amazon for the same snag your copy of the book Hideo Kojima praised

an enthusiastic review by Hideo Kojima for The Tainted Cup:"i finished read the tainted cup by robert jackson bennett. WOW. a total hit. i don't usually read fantasies, but this works brilliantly as a mystery novel as well. above all, its uniquely original world-building is outstanding. it's set in another world where, during the rainy season, massive creatures known as "leviathans" attack defense walls. in order to fight back, people have developed enhanced abilities through biological modifications. within this fantastical setting the story follows a pair of investigators - gifted individuals working for the Ministry of Justice - as they pursue a mysterious death. it's hard to fully capture in just a few words, but this is a masterpiece that deserved to be read. highly recommended."

In short: it hasn't been possible for a while really for the USA to 'win' this war (barring unforeseen events), but it is still very possible for Iran, the GCC, the Middle East, and/or the global economy to *lose* this war and lose it badly. 'Mutual ruin' is always an option in war.

So Lee ended up chasing a goal which was both impossible and unnecessary and in so doing adopted substantially more costly tactics and grand tactics, spending lives in pursuit of a phantom. Also he betrayed his country in support of a slavers' rebellion, so, y'know, fuck him.
