I get boosted when the time comes and still wear a mask in stores and the like. I live in an area with a fairly immunocompromised population... seems like the least I can do.

ChatGPT already has “Ph.D.-level intelligence,” in that once you remove it from its extremely narrow field of expertise (assembling words into credible-sounding passages) it is wildly out of its depth, but people vastly overestimate its authority because they don’t understand what “intelligence” is.

This man GAMES. But seriously, I haven't even thought of PUBG in years. I'm surprised it's still around.

If you don't have homegrown "Kiddo" at home, store bought "Sport" or "Squirt" will suffice.

Running Fallout is one of those things I have always wanted to do, but am like 90% sure I couldn't nail, so I live vicariously through others. I look forward to hearing how it goes.

There's lots of bad media I enjoy --- but I always *know* it's bad. In fact, I usually like it because it's bad. But I never try to sell it as good. That's always weird.

Amazing shots. Between me not knowing how to operate my cell phone's camera and being down in New Mexico (and my DSLR being in storage) I got a couple muddy shots with ok color. This? This is lovely.

My buddies and I racked up hundreds of hours on those games. I get a similar sense of fun from Vermintide and DarkTide (a couple of other mission-based horde shooters) but not quite the same. The Anacrusis is great, but I can't get my friends to join me on "Left4Dead but on a 60's sci-fi ship"

I feel like RDR2 does this pretty good as well. I just wrapped up the main story for the first time and there's lots of wandering to do, but the story and missions all felt pretty tight... which is something I feel I miss from a lot of open-world type games.

Being able to climb into bed and take a 15-minute nap is also quite great. One of my favorite bits.

The only reason I am glad those movies exist is that they gave us the Bane voice.

Congrats! I hope it's as exciting and fulfilling as my little heart believes it would be. And barring (or in addition to) that: I hope it pays you well.

While I know of a lot of game writers who have an idiot's understanding of politics, it's not the fact that they write for video games that makes them boneheads. They seem to work extra hard on cultivating that appearance.

AI is inevitable. Just like blockchain was inevitable, and Bitcoin and crypto were inevitable, and NFTs were inevitable, and the metaverse was inevitable. “Inevitable” is just tech bro and VC speak for “I sunk way too much money into this shiny new thing that doesn’t really work please bail me out”

I mean, the odds of it being a bullet hole ARE pretty low. But jokes aside, sorry to hear it. Tooth pain is some of the absolute worst I have ever experienced. I hope you won't have to deal with the pain long.

It's like they don't even know what the block chain is or how it works. They are all gaga about something that they do not understand. Cryptobros are exhausting.

I think I'm accidentally skipping it somehow. I've fired up the game twice now and instead of seeing that video, it goes immediately to my 'Diver stepping onto his ship.
#blessed I guess.

I didn't play it when it first came out (I know it was in ROUGH shape) but once they did their first major overhaul I picked it up and enjoyed it quite a bit, but got sidetracked and never finished. I really ought to give it a fresh (and complete) runthrough. They've really worked hard on it.

Exactly. I've had to eat my words so many times over the years because I'd read something absolutely insane and go "No. Nobody would ever be that evil and out of touch... that's unrealistic." And here we are, a decade or two down the road with with Mini Vacation Crying Pods.

See, in my case I've actually stopped taking on new hobbies. Anytime I start doing something that brings me any amount of joy or am even a little bit good at... someone tries to tell me that I need to be making money off of it. That pressure drains whatever release that thing brought me every time.

I agree that Mars Attacks is funnier... but I don't think it's better, if that makes sense. There's just something about the oldschool Ghost Buster movies that feels perfect. But it's definitely not as funny as Mars Attacks (I'm not sure I've ever laughed out loud at GB, even).

Honestly, the Myst series wound up being a great "Coop" game in my family. One person would control and the rest would gather 'round and between the five of us, we would push through even some of the more convoluted puzzles at a *reasonable* pace. They're some of my favorite memories.

The color and crust on that chicken is a thing of beauty. And those greens? Honestly, everything on that plate looks amazing, so I hardly think a little juice dribble qualifies it as "poorly plated."
