My newest piece for @aftermath.site is up and it's about how much fun the slapstick comedy of @landfall.se and @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social 's PEAK is, especially with friends (gift link!)

I just want to be done with Hades 2 but I can't get a Typhon kill to save my life, despite getting several in a row. I even dropped the Vows down to 0 and I keep blowing death defiances to avoidable damage because my reaction time is constantly off. Having ADHD sucks ass.

FREELANCER TIP: THE 25% RULE!

The MOMENT payment hits your bank account, calculate 25% of the value of the invoice and then transfer that amount immediately to a savings account and DO NOT TOUCH IT. THAT'S FOR TAXES. Then pay yourself the remaining 75%. Account for this when determining rates!!!

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

Something to keep in mind today during today's snow showers
Milwaukee DSA Jan 11, 2020 Stay warm and stay safe. A better world is possible. What if the time you spent shoveling or checking in on your neighbors after a snowstorm was counted as part of your workweek instead of being added on top of it? What if people didn't get one paid snow day during big storms - much better than what most workers have currently - but got three? One day to help clear the snow, one day to check on your neighbors, and one day to play to actually enjoy one of the earth's greatest gifts. jacobinmag.com Snow Days Under Socialism

obviously Suramar is probably the most gorgeous zone they've ever done but man, the max level questing there was also very cool and satisfying. very fond memories of being sneaky in the city, all "an illusion what are you hiding" memes aside

god it is nuts just how much of an artistic accomplishment Suramar is in WoW Legion
screenshot of a garden area in Suramar in World of Warcraft Legion. the gras is a deep blue-green with glowing white flowers. there's a water feature with a fountain with a stone path going around it. a sunset illuminates the background, and above the garden are long, sweeping willow-like trees that seem to have stars glowing beneath their canopy. it's very dream-like and sleepy.

This meta of "ITS BAD" videos about games blows man. As a lifelong hater, this deep level of hating is exhausting mainly because I know it's not from a place of genuine critique, it's never a discussion for wanting things to be better, it's just being negative to generate clicks. Absolute shite

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.

They're AI-generating the music here.

Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

I'm very thankful for a few things this year:

1.) my friends, who have been supportive and awesome to hang out with
2.) my job, it's not a lot but it's rough out there
3.) my cat
4.) my improving mental health
I didn't accomplish a lot of stuff but my brain feeling better feels so good

“There are no clean demarcations between feminism and its backlash and the backlash to the backlash, between progress and regress. It was always fanciful to conceive of progressive victories as permanent, just as it was a shortsighted fantasy that edgelord heterodoxy would remain cool.”
