Gen X. My kids downloaded Subnautica 2 on their Steam accounts. It keeps telling one of them to update to DirectX 12. He has DirectX 12. (Turns out he has an incompatible GPU, but you wouldn't know from the fix Steam suggests.)

Check out this beautiful tribute created by the BBC that took place on Monday 30 March 2026, using 950 drones, and was broadcast on BBC One Northern Ireland on Thursday 2 April at 8pm — the same time and date the Titanic set sail from Belfast in 1912.

I just had a wonderful roleplaying experience in #FallenLondon. After eight real life years of play my character has evolved from being Destined to personally escape the doom that weighs on the city's future:at the cost of losing everything (the Road), through the darkness of hop

The paradox implicit in the Monty Python "four Yorkshiremen" sketch—how do they go to school barefoot in the snow *uphill both ways*—can *easily* be solved if they're living in a Hohlweltlehre simulation (the concave hollow earth: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth#… )

If the US.military are having their salaries paid by a donor, aren't they mercenaries now under international law? I ask because my country has American personnel based in it and they don't seem to be being paid by the government of the United States, with whom we have a treaty, but by a third party

Australians like me technically have a king and even we don't grovel like this. We'd consider it unseemly for him to want us to.

I've written a ttrpg supplement about Venetian folklore for the Ars Magica roleplaying game. It is "pay what you want" on Drivethru and itch. Paying zero is fine: I've covered my costs. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

So, I coauthored a book of RPGs scenarios based on Elizabethan folklore. More commentary in the Kickstarter's page from the editor and coauthors. It's useful in most fantasy based settings, although my stories in particular lean toward urban settings.

Your idea that the poor were ignorant is demonstrably false, though, as I noted above. Any sailor could tell you this

The idea people thought the world was flat appears in the US as a part of Washington Irving's agrandisment of Columbus. The first person to make a decent guess at size was Eratosthenes, and he died a century and a half BC.

Now you're just being silly. Evidence that the world is round was trivially easy for people to see. Sailors knew it because it's why you see the masts of ships on the horizon before you see the hulls. It's also why when you walk to a town the first thing you generally see is the spire.

Seems unlikely. Pope Sylvester II had a globe in 1000AD Is this Americans doing their Columbus stuff again?

That terrible moment when you're trying to write Mythic Cheshire for Ars Magica and the ghost of Kenneth Williams sidles up and says "You know that D&D Ravenolft Venice thing you have been avoiding? This is what _I'd_ do... "

What makes LLMs work isn't deep neural networks or attention mechanisms or vector databases or anything like that. What makes LLMs work is our tendency to see faces on toast.

I hope you love something beautiful and meaningless. For me, it's football. I don't care what it is for you, but I wish you a deep love for something that means nothing until you give it meaning through your attention.
