Yep. One of the biggest blind spots people have is assuming that underneath, others share the same basic values as them. They have trouble imagining an ideology that is completely misaligned with theirs.

It's about to get into the 90s in Seattle. Please remember to keep your A/C set to 85 degrees at the lowest; we need you to conserve power for the computers running the "AI" that took your job. And it'll save you money anyway, because you don't have a job. Stay cool out there! But not too cool.

They probably mean souls games. Even so, it feels hyperbolic and it's probably recency bias speaking. For one thing, Ashes of Ariandel exists.

Shadow of the Erdtree is done! I did not like the final boss, or the optional megaboss, except in spectacle. #eldenring #sote

Congrats to the BC NDP for being so firmly in the pocket of a fossil fuel company it's made the international news.

It is very exhausting to see people doing "ha ha look how dumb Chat GPT is it can't get basic questions right" right as we are getting constant stories about how much energy even basic queries for AI uses up. Just don't use it! The bit isn't that funny!

Spirit Ashes are the only reason I played this game. DS3 DLC was the last straw in late FromSoft bosses for me.

Everyone who beat the elden ring dlc will have a different story about how they tapped into their most depraved, awful self to manage it and I think that's beautiful, and by beautiful, I mean pretty bad design. Outside most bosses, rest of the dlc is great though

Serial killer on TV: - extremely smart - also, cunning like an animal - charismatic but cold ‐ troubled childhood - operatic sensibilities - can only be caught by the greatest detective Serial killer IRL: - just a cop - a regular cop - cops won't stop him because he is a cop

So many “tradwife” trend pieces just seem so wholly unaware of how much of it is fetish content, it’d be like if there was a Wirecutter piece on the dangers of getting stuck in washing machines

LLMs are useless for lawyering and other tasks involving actual analysis and understanding not because the technology hasn't gotten there yet, but because that's fundamentally not what statistical word association is capable of doing. Not only can't it understand, it's not even trying to understand.

Finished one of my most ambitious videos ever, finally saw Los Campesinos! in concert (on my birthday no less), already off to a great start on the next project, I've got Shadow of the Erdtree and Oxygen Not Included expansions to play, and a kitty is snoring in my lap. Been a pretty good week.

As a guilty party, I was expecting the +10/+25 stones. You can only access the the DLC very late in the game. There's no way you don't have easy access to all the purchasable material.

I'm curious to know if anyone at Apple raised the alarm that AirTags would be heavily used by abusers and stalkers and their concerns were completely ignored, or if the company is so dominated by men no one who worked on or knew about the AirTag project even considered how dangerous they'd be.

Harnessing the awesome power of AI to generate possible future use cases for AI that could conceivably justify the fact that it causes global ocean levels to rise a quarter of an inch every week just from the emissions attached to generating images of progressively bustier waifus.

I don't know, I'm still getting wrecked ashes or not. In fact, I think some bosses (Messmer, Gaius, the nightmare flower) are designed to punish summoning ashes since they have devastating opening attacks that leave no room to ring the little bell.

Messmer's dead. No idea what was going on in the second phase. At least he didn't have 3 phases.

They reserved the 3 phases for this game's Bed of Chaos, in every sense. 0/10 boss.
