i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

This cover's a great illustration of just how big of a deal Sakura Wars is. Look at it: The series ~being remembered decades later~ is enough to relegate fresh Persona, Silent Hill, Ace Combat, Dynasty Warriors and more news to plain text in the top-right corner.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

If you’ve ever played or enjoyed a Shiren the Wanderer game, or a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game, or any Mystery Dungeon game, really: they all spawned from this—originally a Dragon Quest spinoff that came out in the year following DQ5 in Japan (1993). This is the first time it’s been localized, too!

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

No, only someone who lives in a home can invite a vampire inside. I'd argue even a landlord who owns a house doesn't have invitation rights if they're not currently living there. Now, if the judge who approved the warrant also lives in the home, then you're in trouble. For several reasons.

How to visit an art museum with someone who isn't used to visiting art museums:

Two social media posts by @pan_juho (Translated from Japanese):

"I love going to art museums, but when I go with someone who's not used to them, if I say, 'If you were a great thief, tell me later which one you'd steal,' they end up looking the exhibits pretty seriously, and that makes me happy.

"Whether you steal something you like or something that seems valuable -> it opens up endless conversation based on what vou liked about it or where you saw value in it, so it's also great as an easy icebreaker for chats after visiting the museum."

My favorite thing about this is that, unlike the press release cover, Patterson's name is absent from this cover here on the store shelf. Often times, Patterson's name is larger on these covers than *the name of the book*, so his name being absent here tells me A LOT.

Journalists need to stop describing these incidents in terms implying software has agency and intent. It does not. The people who created a faulty and dangerous product are the ones responsible for whatever happens, and must be held to account, with punitive financial penalties for damage done.

SLEEPING DOGS is genuinely one of my favorite games of this console generation. A love letter to Hong Kong KungFu film and it's so satisfying. Has a vision and is committed to it, works out in spades. Please play sleeping dogs and get a high score of roundhouse kicking NPCs in a row.
