@johnrogers.bsky.social figured you'd be the best person to ask about this. I've been getting a lot of very bad aggressive scammers representing tech jobs, what's their end game? Is it just identify theft or is there a larger scam I'm not seeing?

Closest to a modern Wayne Knight is probably Paul Walter Hauser. Dude has range; good in comedy, amazing in drama. I, Tonya, Cobra Kai, and Richard Jewel is a hell of a 3 year run

In the same vein, Bad Samaritan also has David Tennant elevating a fairly solid thriller with his absolutely terrifying villian turn. Think what if Killgrave was just a guy without any powers but lots of money

Non #FFXIV #dawntrail spoiler but I also love how the vibe amongst the players is just extremely fucked. No one believes this is going to be a fun adventure game. We remember what you did to us last game. We're still in therapy because of it

Mild potential #FFXIV #dawntrail spoiler but it's really funny that the second anyone makes an accelerationist argument the game almost holds up a sign saying "this character is a fucking idiot"

But yeah, the character is written as parody of this kind of guy but because NPH was so likable the parody gets lost a lot. The show wants you to hate him but the early 2000s were a rough time all around

A thing that gets missed about this is the structure of the show is Ted is telling these stories to his kids and is not a reliable narrator. So Barney has this meta thing going on where in the end game you realize a lot of the story has been a lie and Ted was worse and Barney wasn't like that

The thing about Ecco is almost everyone who played it got it because they/their parents thought "ooh cute dolphin game" and then immediately got existential dread followed by immense loneliness. And then the alien cosmic horror started There was nothing on the box that prepared you for any of that

This isn't the point of the article, but I can't help notice that the man's marriage fell apart after he bought the Cybertruck. Has a line of cars ever been so entwined with the concept of Divorced Men that it only appeals solely to them, it also creates them?

Obviously they shouldn't have de-horny'd the Silent Hill character because in this case the sexualization has a thematic point. One thing that's interesting in this conversation though is that Silent Hill 2 is one of the only games I can think of where that's actually true and not a smoke screen.

Folks don't want to hear it, because I get that it doesn't feel like this, but someone should say it anyway: forcing yourself to watch trauma videos is self harm, and it is main character syndrome. The world is not better if you self-traumatize, and watching them is not building empathy with victims

It turns out this whole time that the Turing Test was the wrong way to think of it. Thinking a chatbot is alive is not a test of how good the chatbot is, but of your own ability to think of other human beings as real and complete people

Hey, you survived a slow, boring tutorial that also doesn't teach you how anything works, here's five quest pop ups in a row, good luck figuring out which is the main quest line. Every npc feels like a Harry potter character "hey I just met you but you are clearly the chosen one, here's some plot"

Tesla did a lot of fraud to build up a nearly 2 million vehicle/year car business, but the truly wild part is that instead of leveraging that incredible achievement to go legit (which the authorities seemed happy to allow) Elon Musk let the car business die on the vine in favor of more fraud.

RFK is also a precursor to the Kind of Guy American society is going to be left with in a decade. He's been all in on every raw/natural food trend. It left his body riddled with worms and mercury levels that turned him into the guy from Memento. This is the average Joe Rogan listener in 2037.
