If I knew it wouldn't encourage them and screw my carefully curated algorithm (which is all Lego, Nintendo and power tools) I'd click through to see how deep the shit goes.

A terrified looking young woman stands in front of an American flag with her thumb up. The picture is captioned "Want to relocate to America?"

Just got served this ad on YouTube and I didn't think it was possible to be this shit at advertising.

No! I want to relocate to America about as much as I want to stick a wire brush in my dick (which is probably what ICE would do if I actually did relocate to America).

I think overwhelming physical discomfort in a tightly focused area is an autistic thing. Used to happen all the time when I was a teenager. Not so much these days.

Meeting my long lost half brother last year was wild. Last time I saw him, I was 15 and he was in nappies. I didn't think I'd recognise him.

Except he looked like a taller, beardier and younger version of me. Which was wild.

You ever have one of those days when your toenails are screaming and wearing socks is agony?

I regularly forget that I refurbished a Mega CD and own one now...

Thank you. It's over now. Got another birthday to celebrate today! No time to rest 😴

Art and design, in every field, is about understanding the fundamentals, then willingly choosing to break them.

I fear non-designers have too much sway over the design process.

Thank you! It's over now, but was a pretty good one!

Thanks! 🍌

(Psst, did you mean Peter Venkman?!)

Cheers Daniel. It was a day of gentle surprises, doing nerd stuff and eating far too many treats.

Thanks Nester! ❤️

Thank you. "A nerd on the internet" should be on my gravestone.

Thanks! And very appropriate, I'd say. I'm interested in the topic AND was able to respond quickly due to not being at work! Double whammy!

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

True Art

Not this time. Though that is a very fun game!

Levelled up to 43 today. I celebrated by taking the day off work and mucking about with a wiki.

You sicko!

When you're too tired to string a coherent sentence together, yet still give off manic stress energy, you're probably burning out (or about to).

And heeeere comes the DLC!!

1) It's the time commitment each game demands. A song is over in minutes, a film in a couple hours. A modern game is a much bigger commitment, like a DIY project.

2) I absolutely do feel bad about how much music, TV and film I miss out on.

Have you ever considered... get this... cartoons about games?!?!

Oh, put a Sawk in it, will ya?

The only rubbish Pokémon designs were in Gen V.

In 2014, Apple had the genius idea to give all 500 million iTunes users a free U2 album. I haven't heard shit from U2 since then

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Oh THAT'S who these guys are!!
