Now is the time to get in with Call of Cthulhu. A great game to run, and a wonderful game to play as an investigator too.

Ah yes, new album drops and while I wait for it in the mail it's time to stream this and survive a Friday so I can drink some mead at the end.

Just finished the new Castlevania Game demo on steam. I think this is going to be a fun one.

It's fast approaching a time where people will either engage with the useless AI layer in life or start retreating offline and into more localized things to avoid it. My hope is the latter wins out and the bubble pops sooner than later.

Man, playing 7 Nation Army on a guitar is just fun. Learning to play an instrument I think is a joy everyone should be able to easily choose to do. But not be forced, then it kind of drives away the point of music init's the joy of the thing, not the checkbox on a list.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

Ah nuts. The Witcher 3 remaster graphics aren't good. It kind of rips out the heart of what the game looked like...and don't really add anything. And I run a 5090. Luckily you can rollback on steam. And that's just what I'm doing.

The one thing I really don't love about Control Resonant already is that there are "story areas" where you can't jump and that's just weird.

If your love Oglaf, buy their books. They come with extra panels and the kickstarter goodies are fantastic. If you don't know what oglaf is, oglaf.com is a wonderfully NSFW comic that spans years and continues to feel like the good, weird old Internet.

Oglaf Book Five

There are already four Oglaf books out there. A fifth one couldn't possibly make things any worse.

Had this story in late May

Sources at meta are dunking on this and calling it a tamagotchi. It sounds like based on talking to sources that it could be a little ai companion you wear. I really hope they do this as it sounds so absolutely stupid, unbelievable

Jyoti mann quote tweet
Scoop: Meta plans to test an AI pendant next year as part of a broader wearable push, per an internal memo reviewed by The Information.

The first of 4 new smart glasses its releasing this year (code-named “Modelo") will launch as soon as next month.

Tear Garden live was everything I wanted it to be. Good arrangements of their synth heavy hits. Edward K. is 72 years old and still rocking the vocals, and it's always nice to see Cevin Key on durms.

I finally saw Barbarian two nights ago, and then Resident evil last night after seeing Weapons long ago. Loved all three. Barbarians was amazing twist and turn horror, Weapons was also lots of fun, and Resident Evil was a great romp in the universe that I thought they did a great job with it.

I think we took the wrong turn when we decided technology is needed to solve every problem. It's an unfortunately limited world view and discounts the agency of a large swath of humanity.

Many years ago, there was a yearly internet-themed Halloween costume contest in New York City called Hallowmeme. Our next live show at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn on October 27th is NOT Hallowmeme. But it is a tribute. It’s a night of comedy, music, journalism, and of course, a costume contest.

Baby's All Right, October 27th, 7pm. There will be a costume contest.
