the only valid take on gender is "gender is a performance and i am being booed offstage"

every extraction shooter i see looks like the most miserable thing. why would i want "deep rock galactic but it's got PvP"

Rule number one of being incredibly lazy at work is that if you find a way to automate your tasks you never say that in a place your boss can see or hear which is why, even by their own terms, people that won't shut up about LLM coding are dumb as rocks. "Yeah, that was all me man" is what you say.

ah, players ...

my secret is that i no longer have a "plan" for the "plot". i simply put the players in a situation and roll with it

stop trying to draw units and start trying to draw figures. take a life drawing class. no more gacha--

neither of these is the most bizarre thing in the film but the most bizarre thing in the film requires roughly an hour of the movie as context, so,

it also has a scene where someone does CPR to the Macarena

just watched Titane while slightly delirious with a fever, as the director intended

some trees you need 2 of, but yeah I have 3 apple trees + 1 plum in my yard and they are doing fine (the apples are garbage but that's because I'm too lazy to do the tree maintenance required to get good apples)

I wanna see Isaac Chotiner interview Eric Andre.

i've met people who have worked on submarines (because I am from Memphis) (there's a naval base right near Memphis because the Navy trains on the Mississippi) and "inhumane + barely viable for combat" does sound accurate based on former submariners' descriptions

List of ships sunk by submarines by death toll - Wikipedia

Wiki only lists two with > 150 fatalities (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..., sorted by date) so I'd guess that the number has to be < 20 (just because most ships worth attacking with a submarine have > 100 crew)

Thanks!!

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

@thaliarchus.bsky.social (1) i'm dying to know what you think of this: www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

(2) are there, like, "we kept all the words but modernized the spellings" printings of middle english poetry? because i found i started having trouble when i started seeing euens

We got you.

If you break up a snowball fight you get a snowball, simple as that; the only handing it to the cops i will be doing is they didn't use guns in response

an example you can see in the EN loc is that they use patate instead of pomme de terre.

my housemate who speaks normand français says that "patate" is the only sensible option. he also believes this is true of septante (which in ~standard~ French is "soixante-dix" or "sixty-ten")

ok i finished the video and the one thing i wish it covered that it does not cover is the use of nonstandard French in the game. because i sure have seen several internet arguments that go like "these lyrics are nonsense" -> "THEY'RE IN OCCITAN YOU PARISIAN FUCK"

(...and i also think that Near A Tomato is wall-to-wall neo-colonialism. but i am a known Near A Tomato hater)

me at 1:01:28: "PORTRAIT OF ROSS IN LA MENTIONED"

anyway i'm now an hour in and the only thing i really disagree with is whether the Art Deco Mansion is a good idea (i think it's great specifically *because* it does not fit in artistically with the rest of the game)

Expedition 33 : Entre Nationalisme, Misogynie et Haine de l'Etranger. YouTube video by ache

Tired: Watching 90 minute foreign films with subtitles.
Wired: Watching 90 minute foreign youtube essays with subtitles.

(This has been genuinely fascinating so far, and gotten me to think a lot more about french identity and history.) youtu.be/Z8M8q80bTKg

there is a limit to how mad i can be at E33 because i played it after a game that starts with "patho" and ends with "logic" (again: social media search was a mistake) and after that everything else is a shining beacon of marxist feminism in comparison--

host just called me white for my taste in music. which is fair

i do think i disagree with the video author about some of the other nominated games (which i'm not naming here because social media search was a mistake) being inherently progressive because the first 2 they name are giant, laughably incoherent projects--

me, a person who knows like 5 words of French, looking at that video title: "oui, la misogynie ..."

excellent. funy joke
