Not even enough to fill the stadium for the game.

Ithought the same thing. given where a lot of these games are coming from I wonder if there's an antecedent in the way anime and manga characters will sometimes react so strongly they become chibi characters and kind of seperate from the reality of the frame.

Most sports I think that would just confuse all the stuff you've been working on all season. but baseball, I'm not a sports guy, but I feel like a lot of baseball is guys standing around doing their own thing more or less independantly.

Baseball teams in the post season should be allowed to take one player from each of the teams they defeat along the way.

My kids are all pretty precocious and have been fairly ahead of the curve on language development, so sometimes I honestly forget that the oldest is barely in Kindergarten until suddenly we're watching Barbie Diamond Castle and it's just a tiny bit too intense.

A bit on the nose as metaphors go.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Vulcans overcome this with their combination of a dedication to logic that allows them to ignore discomfort if it serves their interest and also they become life threateningly horny every seven years.

Man the Cronenbergs were all over Discovery huh?

the real question, of course, is how did Rene Magritte get ahold of early 90s computer rendering software in 1932. but thats why he was one the greats.

Leveling up in the AI era by simply by not making myself reliant on least competent machines ever devised. It’s like John Henry versus the steam drill but the steam drill just sort of rattles around aimlessly and sometimes a flywheel comes off and maims the operator.

I would never make it in a fairytale. I wouldn’t be cruel to the mysterious old woman, but social anxiety would prevent me from really interacting with her in any meaningful way.

You kids like Sabrina Carpenter? well I know about another carpenter who had some strange things to say, and did some miraculous works, and had a black cat named Salem Saberhagen, and she- ah sorry, not Carpenter, let me start over.

The dev team researched for months to authentically capture the different soft drinks they have there.

I wonder if there is also still a philosophical thing about silent protagonists. Link still barely talks even while new Zelda’s have a ton of dialogue and a cast of several.

My favourite part is that whole reason for the Wisdom Tree Bible pivot was that Christian book stores would sell unlicensed games because they didn’t care about keeping Nintendo’s business. Not clear that anyone involved had any actual conviction about making Christian games.

All the other members of Elvis Costello and The Imposters should dress like and and introduce themselves as Elvis Costello.

I always found it kind of charming how Flight Simulator has kind of the design philosophy of office software at the heart of it. But this is too far.

Piscopo gets a lot of flack but the real criminal is whichever writer saddled generational comedy superstar Whoopi Goldberg with a joke so bad not even she could salvage it.

This is actually pretty common at a lot of jobs these days except those videos are about how to NOT harass women.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
