This hand will haunt me. I'm systematically ignoring every game in the "AI Gaming Fest" They couldn't even bother to proofread the fest text?? "Learn how AI being used to games faster than ever" @steampowered.com I thought better of you. Unless you're largescale trolling devs who use AI...?

Screenshot of the Steam Store page for a game called "The Rug Racket".
The image for the game is clearly AI generated: There is a hand in a latex glove holding a bristle brush in a strange manner, and the hand appears to have only a thumb and two fingers.
The game developers don't care enough to employ artists, why would I employ them by buying their game?

I found a Rarity-81 word worth 94 pts in OUTLIER. EAGLE EYES · 838 points · 10 rare words. Only 14 players have ever found it in all of Outlier. 3 finds no one else found today. OUTLIER: the daily word hunt where the rarest words win. Can you beat me? playoutlier.com/s/RM4ZK9

Oh my fucking goodness the EEOC sucks. Not sure if that's a "in these times" or "always" thing, but christ on a cracker..... Just got my case dismissal email and it's riddled with errors because they didn't put anything in an auto fill field.

Cast yourself as a villain.... I have always been obsessed with pirate tropes, I had a dress-up pirate party for my 18th birthday. Also, campiness and Muppets!

I love what Cory Doctorow wrote in one of his newsletters. Something like: "'We used AI to do this' is basically shorthand for 'we didn't want to do this in the first place'"

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

The most recent meme in your photo roll describes your mental state. Scarily accurate, tbh.

@robdonkin.bsky.social @johnnydonkin.bsky.social My kiddo was so inspired by playing Strange Antiquities with me that he wanted to create his own totem. This is "Fortune's Offering," and it brings the bearer good luck.

A small figurine made of brown baked clay. It has a symbol on its body made of two triangles. It has a small gem in its forehead, two horns made from rock, and a closed-eye smile.

The fact that they have intolerance set to warn, but rudeness set to hide just shows you their priorities. They would rather you see people say bad things about trans people than bad things to transphobes.

I am thinking of setting up a new anti-golf party with the slogan "tough on golf, tough on the courses of golf". The four key policies are: 1. Anyone who plays golf to be banned from public office. 2. All golf courses to be restored to nature. 3. er.. 4. That's it.

I did it! I cooked dinner!!!! You have to understand, we've been married for over 13 years. I am scared of kitchen accidents, especially burns, to the point of phobia. By my count, I've cooked a full meal maybe 10 times in our relationship. But I made @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social bolognese!

A stove top pot half full of a rich reddish sauce.

A bowl of shell pasta with red sauce spooned over, sprinkles of parmesan cheese, and celery greens garnish. The bowl has a rustic leaf pattern.

@mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social trying out the focaccia recipe. The dough is really dry, i had to add an extra 1/4 cup or so of water to even get all the flour incorporated, and it certainly wont "pour" after the rise.... that can't be right, right?
