@danryckert.com shaved my head today, thanks to a super generous $2000 donation from the @minnmax.com community! By the time the stream ended, we not only shot past our $40k goal — we more than doubled it to $100,000! So glad I got to be a part of this. Also, the bald look is weirdly growing on me.

Yeah? Go find me a copy of London After Midnight then.

Films only endure because we make the effort to preserve them, despite changing technologies and commercial pressures. We can absolutely do this with games too, and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous.

Help me, Bluesky! I'd love to find and chat to UK-based up-and-coming music composers for games - especially those who are as obsessed with the Japanese school of melody-focused game music as I am. Could eventually lead to a small paid gig and then maybe maybe more down the line. Spread the word! ❤️

Not looking forward to being 60 and seeing memes from youngsters about how we only like old fashioned buttons.

Kids watching that movie now must have a strange perception of a guy from 40 years ago going another 30 years into the past.

Must feel extremely old-fashioned.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

They way he words it like "they had to" take it all without permission ... as though the greed was just too great to deny.

I thought something seemed off about the the image posted below: it's a photo that's been edited and colorized by AI. Please don't do that.

Blippo+ ($13.49) - the people behind Untitled Goose Game got something different for you: a wild simulation of cable TV in its glory days, but delivered to you from another planet. feels like something from the era of 'multimedia CD-ROM', shined to perfection. store.steampowered.com/app/3323850/...

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Anyone with even a passing interest in retro TV owes it to themselves to check out @blippo.plus . It's such a weird, wonderful love letter to late 80s/early 90s cable and local access TV.

(Funny enough, my only real complaint with it is there's not enough commercials. 😅)
