It'd be a little hilarious if they spent the next ten years having him fall down the same villain arc. Like, "sorry, this is just who this character is"

I fell off during the Fall of Krakoa era because I couldn't keep track of all the titles constantly ending/starting. Marvel Unlimited makes it basically impossible to know what stuff is in a series ... but I enjoyed the article and agree.

Also did they ever have Colossus deal with murdering his gf?

Hello hello #portfolioday
My name is Yorgos, I'm Greek and I make book covers. I'm available for new projects from December onwards.

Here's some of my work!

I just can't do the pikachu shocked face anymore about news articles where it comes out that Republicans are nazis, bigots, racists, sexists, and pedophiles. Sorry. It's not shocking. They've been loudly broadcasting who they are for the entire second half of my life.

The hilarious thing about the ChatGPT erotica stuff is there is 0.0% chance that Visa and Mastercard will have anything whatsoever to say about it. Going after poor artists on patreon? Sure, absolutely. Going after the world's most overvalued and overinvested company? No way.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I recommend everyone at least give HK a try. It eases you into its difficulty pretty gently if you let it, and a lot of its really tough bosses are completely optional even to get the "good ending" - but I'm biased. It's a top 20 all time game for me!

Chris B-eeeeek!-ler 👻 @cwbuecheler.com · 1d

Supergiant have a long and glorious history of making absolutely gorgeous games with intriguing narratives whose gameplay I utterly despise, so after buying and then noping out on three of their titles in a row I skipped Hades and its sequel 😅

Silksong is still great, too! Just ... HK is better.

It reminds me a lot of Fallout / Fallout 2 actually - essentially the same engine, same core gameplay. Fallout 2 adds a LOT of stuff and is a little too long and overambitious. Fallout 1 is missing a few Quality of Life improvements but is the better, tighter game.

Chris B-eeeeek!-ler 👻 @cwbuecheler.com · 1d

I'm replaying Hollow Knight after 100%-ing Silksong and ... HK is just the better game. It's not as ambitious, but because of that it falls on its face less frequently. It's shorter, tighter, and far less dedicated to intentionally forcing the player through tedium.

Washington State recognizes Indigenous Peoples' Day which is fine but they don't give anyone the day off which makes people just miss Columbus Day

If they were smart they would've changed it to Indigenous Peoples' Day and given everyone two days off. That's how you win the culture war, baby.

We must celebrate our Italian queens. Monica Bellucci. Cristin Milioti. The one Olympian sponsored by the concept of Parmesan cheese. Stella Sacco

Cohen is a Ghost @skullmandible.bsky.social · 2d

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

Wife did a gravel order from Lowe’s for me to pick up. I drive to the pick up dock. Guy with a radio comes out. I show him the order receipt. He radios inside. They tell him to tell me to tell my wife to download the app so that she can check in on it to let them know I’m here to pick up the order.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

I didn't know this (so thank you), but it's the least surprising news I've heard in a while. One of those things where you're like "Oh. Hmmm. Well ... that tracks."

This is worth taking, especially if you are a web developer who's not a white cishet male who lives in the US (but still worth taking even then). They're definitely looking to broaden their survey base!

I have no idea if this is at all in the plans and don't expect you to tell me, but I've been waiting for Fortuna to turn on that jackass since like the first panel she showed up in.

Chris B-eeeeek!-ler 👻 @cwbuecheler.com · 5d

That's interesting because losing context seems to still be a fairly big problem for people on larger code bases. I don't doubt it's still improving via the agent approach (although that approach is likely limited in how much it can actually scale).
