America is so large if you dont follow the news and haven't felt any direct repercussions you'd have no idea anything was happening. Just going out to buy a decorative gourd, they're sending US troops into cities, the president is a pedophile, oh hey this town has an apple festival this weekend

working and talking with americans all day really makes this clear; stuff we take for granted here and in europe--community sport, big clubs you're a part of--don't exist, or are incredibly rare, in the US. that stuff is the bedrock of a community!

I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality! These assholes aren't building anything! Sam Altman handed Jony Ive $6.5bn in stock to buy a company that hasn't built anything. Why can't OpenAI afford to buy them in cash? How much cash does OpenAI have exactly?

I think the “empathy machines” idea was always overblown, but I also do feel that play is an essential part of life and it’s hard to come by when you’re an adult. More importantly, games are a huge part of young people’s lives at this point.

Whenever I see lefty types totally dismiss games I get a little sad and frustrated. Beyond the joy of playing and using your imagination—this is where young people are and where they socialize. Don’t you want to reach them?

In general, I've found anxiety over what might be is usually way worse than the discomfort of the actual event itself -- if it even actually turns out to be awkward or downright painful. When the anxiety was fully justified... Well, that's the stuff of trauma.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

If someone bitches about "wokeness," you probably don't want to know this person. They're happy with inequality. They don't believe in empathy. They want to exclude people arbitrarily. These people are ASSHOLES. Don't be an ASSHOLE. Don't associate with ASSHOLES.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the best RPG I've played in over a decade. It is A Video Game About Things, made for adults. Incredibly moving, stunningly beautiful, and remarkably well-designed. A triumph for Sandfall Interactive, and a game you must play. My review for @shacknews.com:

Panel 2: Calvin's Mom sitting at the breakfast table sipping coffee, off-panel Calvin is now saying 'I'm going to inhale this can of pesticide.' She's still just saying 'Mmhmm...'
