This is “flying car” level fantasy that assumes LLMs can be trusted to do literally anything without supervision. Both these dudes are cooked.
Oh No, Anyway ↗
“I think some dipshits fleeced some even bigger dipshits out of $22 million, failed to make enjoyable video games because they were never interested in making video games in the first place and now someone–anyone who owned any of these games’ now-worthless tokens–is left holding the bag.”

It’s not a spoiler but I played through the entirety of Avowed without realizing, from what I understand, it’s loosely connected to Pillars of Eternity.
Completed Avowed.
Formless Star is a charming creature cataloguing game set on an ever-changing planet ↗

How in the world, when you’re considering starting a podcast, does “true crime and comedy” seem like a good idea and not one that is deeply offensive?

With FBC: Firebreak, Remedy says it’s made a Control shooter ‘for Dads’ ↗
“A phrase that kept coming up during my time at Remedy was “dad game”. This is a game that is deep enough to be fun to come back to over and over, but doesn’t require the time investment or dedication that simply isn’t offered to most parents.”

Cybertruck Owner Brutally Mocked by Dozens of Kids After Breaking Down at Baseball Practice ↗
“I was stuck with a $50 Uber bill, and 28 ten-year-old kids went from thinking the Cybertruck was the coolest vehicle to pointing and laughing as it was towed away on a flatbed truck.”
Someone messaged me a week ago asking if I wanted to interview for a job there. 🙃

Really enjoying my time with Avowed, it’s not perfect but there’s certainly more good than bad. Shame it came out when it did and was quickly buried under Oblivion Remaster and Expedition 33.

“seeing a bunch of gen x or millennial developers lament "cancel culture" while logging off, going to their six-figure tech job, and living an ultimately private life is embarrassing. calling community owners out on their shit isn't being canceled—please learn accountability.”

America is Trapped in a Burning Tesla ↗
“Imagine how a private business would react if it hired a supposed efficiency expert who quickly fired crucial employees while making grandiose claims about the money he’s saving, but kept releasing progress reports that were full of ludicrous errors. You wouldn’t keep him on; you’d have security escort him out of the building and immediately change all the locks.”
People & Blogs: Keenan ↗
“It makes me so happy to see what appears to be a resurgence in people making websites. I am filled with joy every time I go to someone's personal space and see how they choose to express themselves. I want to do everything I can to inspire more and more people to follow suit, and I am grateful for projects like this that continually introduce me to fascinating people, fascinating perspectives, fascinating expressions of their humanity.”
Breath of Fire IV Comes to PC via GOG Dreamlist ↗

Yes to a diverse community ↗
“As some companies dismantle their programs and walk back their commitments, we would like to state our stance clearly: Medium stands firm in our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Support Trans Equality ↗
“It may not always be easy to know how to best show up as an ally, and you may often wonder if or wish that there was more you could do. Being open to learning and having a desire to create change are two of the most important components of your allyship.”

Are Pride Wallpapers and a Watch Band Enough in 2025? ↗
“There are certainly risks to Apple if it were to do more to stand up for the LGBTQ+ community, but those risks pale in comparison to the increasing threats trans and other people in the LGBTQ+ community face in the U.S. and around the world every day. It’s time for Apple to step up and do more than wallpapers and a watch band.”

Yesterday, I discovered Orbit, a new Mastodon iOS client from the dev that built Mammoth. Then, after grabbing a month of premium, I find out, only a few months after release, it's essentially abandonware. Cool cool cool.
Log Off, Tim Sweeney ↗
“Here is Sweeney, the boss of the company responsible for Fortnite and the Unreal Engine, pillars of the video game industry, agreeing with an overtly conspiratorial and openly racist post from the most unloved person on the planet”
I’m torn on today’s Apple legal news because, on one hand, having alternative payment options is generally a good thing but, on the other hand, Tim Sweeney is an idiot and we’ll never hear the end of him gloating about this.
Fosstodon: The Neutral Problem ↗
“This is what keeps “normies” away from the Fediverse. It’s not the LGBTQ+ people, it’s not the immigrants trying to establish a voice for themselves online, it’s the “politically neutral” tech-obsessed foss-bros who are so insulated from harm and hatred, that they can’t tell the difference between a guy who would ship you off to prison for being gay, and someone who thinks everyone should have equal rights.”
Think less, ship more ↗
“I do too much thinking about what I want to make, and not enough actually making the thing.”

Meta Says It's Okay to Feed Copyrighted Books Into Its AI Model Because They Have No "Economic Value" ↗
“Meta cited an expert witness who downplayed the books' individual importance, averring that a single book adjusted its LLM's performance "by less than 0.06 percent on industry standard benchmarks, a meaningless change no different from noise."”
How OTK Lost Its Way ↗
“Last year OTK laid off employees working in production, sales, and marketing. This was the culmination of an arc that began promisingly, with ambitious ideas from streamers and behind-the-scenes staff, but which ultimately descended into scandals and conflicting priorities on the part of some streamers.”
Crucial Tracks ↗
