JBN is great, his videos inspired me to replay morrowind for the first time inyover a decade. He's the rare Morrowind youtuber who's funny, knowledgeable, and not one of those "You have to have a very high IQ to appreciate Morrowind" types

Oh Thief fans have been eating good lately. ...is it greedy of me to hope they got Stephen Russel back to voice new lines? (Especially after he came back for that Thief VR spin-off?)

Samantha Cristoforetti demonstrates why a normal round cup doesn't work in microgravity, which is why a special "space cup" was developed to make liquid transfer easier via capillary-action at the narrowed end. It reminds me of *something*, but I can't quite place it.🤔

From an idea in Aguera y Arcas' recent book What is Intelligence? COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/consci... PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com
Part 1/2 of an 8-panel SMBC comic update. A man asks God (who is out of the frame) "God, why do we have
consciousness?" God answers, puzzlign the man further and further over 3 panels. "It’s a bandwidth issue. Your brain is made up of like 4,000 competing agents because that’s the only way to make sense of all the input data. But you can’t have your 4,000 agents talk to another human brain. All the agents’ work has to be compressed down to a sound wave. So you had to evolve another agent who receives the judgment of the brain parliament, then makes the mouth say something like 'I am sad'.”Part 2/2 of an 8-panel SMBC comic update. God ends his explanation by saying "that's you!" and adds "telepathic species don’t bother with consciousness because they have higher bandwidth. The real mystery is why 'you' think your disastrously flawed perception of reality is interesting enough to rise to the level of a
philosophical mystery." The man reacts to this by hanging his head low and saying "I am sad" to which God replies "Good job buddy!"

"Let's finish it": After a 20-year wait, Nightdive would complete the SiN Episodes shooter series if its upcoming remaster is a success
20 years after part one, SiN Episodes might continue. It all depends on the success of the SiN Reloaded remaster.

Chuck Jones went on to work for Valve, and you can tell Duke Nukem influenced his concept art for the first Half-Life:
Concept art for an "Alien Organic Chainsaw" featuring a cartoony alien resembling the "Alien Grunt" enemy from the game Half-Life.

Years ago, I dated a big Transformers fan. They loved the original show and despised the Michael Bay movies. One day, they asked me to see the latest Bayformers movie in theaters with them. "But, isn't it going to suck?" I asked. "Yeah, but its still Transformers, I can't *not* see it."
