Headless Chicken's 🐔 11th Release Candidate (don't ask what happened to 10) is now up on the DOOM + DOOM II KEX Engine Port!
Currently in the process of getting the IDGames archive version updated too.

A screenshot from DOOM + DOOM II, the KEX-Engine port of Doom. The megawad Headless Chicken is loaded into it, on the title screen.

Several cars pull up at a large dome that's mostly covered in well-trimmed grass. A golf cart is off to one side, and an array of solar panels is on the top of the dome.

The time I tried to make the audience sponsor icons jump up and down appreciatively at the end of #RAMP2025 but I forgot which axis was vertical so they all just left in disgust

For some reason for the first time in my life I’m reading Steinbeck and, with full acknowledgement of the jerk that he was, oh my god.

Quote from Cannery Row: Someone should write an erudite essay on the moral, physical, and esthetic effect of the Model T Ford on the American na-tion. Two generations of Americans knew more about the Ford coil than the clitoris, about the planetary system of gears than the solar system of stars. With the Model T, part of the concept of private property disappeared. Pliers ceased to be privately owned and a tire pump belonged to the last man who had picked it up. Most of the babies of the period were conceived in Model T Fords and not a few were born in them. The theory of the Anglo Saxon home became so warped that it never quite recovered.

a kid with big bulging eyeballs and standup hair, playing (making?) a game called dante II on his msx, papers on his desk, a massive though bubble above his head, containing a knight finding treasure, fighting an armoured beast and entering a castle. the kid's cat has its head poked above desk level and is looking at him, while pointing to a window that shows the sun is out.

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork."

UZDoom is now live here.

GitHub - UZDoom/UZDoom: UZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an OpenGL renderer and powerful scripting capabilities

The sci-fi setting of Neurocracy posits exactly this scenario: brain implants are initially trained on neural data from a subset of society, so getting them to work requires us to think in ways characteristic of that subset, installing biases directly in our minds and fostering a mental monoculture

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

This patient’s Neuralink brain implant gets a boost from generative AI

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up.

It's why all the ALP podcaster wannabe influencers are so happy with this govt. They too would rather spend time bashing the Greens than actually advocating for progressive policies. Politics for them is just supporting a footy team rather than caring about things that affects people's lives

Mandatory age verification to "protect children" is not to protect children. It is to deanonymize every adult speaker and consumer of speech online so the government can retaliate against speakers and speech they don't approve of. For instance: apnews.com/article/trum...

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.

He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.

Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.
