Who knows where Wadjet Eye games will be in 16 years?

If you want to see the TikToks of a student documenting the horrifying fact that her professor used AI to "write" the textbook she subsequently published and forces her students to use/buy; but also some truly unprofessional behavior from the prof on being caught:

I saw this video yesterday of a guy greeting a porcupine in his yard and then getting a bunch of quills shot into him. I can’t stop laughing about it. What did he think was gonna happen?

It seems impolite to tell an actor that I’ve never seen them be dramatic, but I think you know what I mean 😂

It’s really interesting to be replaying Blackwell Convergence with the commentary on and hearing @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social talk about not being able to write romance or a love story but challenging himself to do it someday… and what is Old Skies if not a sort of love story?

Also, having looked them up, they kind of have the Star Wars issue where different games would make more sense if they swapped titles. Like Blackwell Unbound makes sense for the title of the first game and Blackwell Legacy makes more sense as the title of the second game!

I have replayed the Blackwell games several times and God help me I cannot remember the order they go in without looking it up.

Their way of life is not at risk, it's over. American soy farmers are forever locked out of the marketplace because of Trump.

1-1

Apparently you can't take the first quarter off and then give the ball away multiple times and still win in the NFL. Who knew?

That TD pass will turn things around

I was 11 so I wasn't surprised until later 😂

How many times am I going to keep falling for this? The Commanders are bad on MNF.

Sturg48 @dirigojoe.bsky.social · 1d

Commanders fan here, and I agree. Then again, I think they should have kept their old uniforms and just changed the logo to the new W.

Sturg48 @dirigojoe.bsky.social · 1d

The Commanders are going to need to pull their heads out if they want to keep this from getting away from them.

God, he was supposed to be the next big thing. A high price to pay for a rental. He was never great, but we could have probably gotten a lot more back for him.

Our teams have been in conflict lately!

Sturg48 @dirigojoe.bsky.social · 1d

I'm in favor of shorter games, but a 5 hour main story mode is shitty.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Not for nothing, but I have met WAY more indigenous peoples than Italians-Americans in Colorado, but still we had to compromise with Italian-Americans? Stupid.

Sturg48 @dirigojoe.bsky.social · 2d

It's funny because apart from Tom Tancredo I can't really think of any prominent Italians in Colorado?

I get way too much self satisfaction out of walking Slugger on cold mornings with shorts and a t-shirt while everyone else I pass has a jacket and a hat.

I just saw an ad that started with the line "Here's a gift for all my true crime girlies" and it wasn't a discount for your first session of therapy. Very odd.

Kansas City should have a mascot like cities have in Japan. His name could be K.C. Moe
