I'm really glad I'm not in the market for any PC upgrades at the moment because fuck AI. I saw this screenshot and yes, that price is accurate, I just checked and that's how much it is for me too.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Dad flew Hueys during the war. They were nicknamed "slicks" because they were not cluttered with rockets or guns mounted externally. Though dad also flew fire missions where the aircraft was heavily armed.

Hueys lined up then headed out from Lai Khe

Hey folks, last weekend I talked a bit out my dad who was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He took his own life a couple years back; and in the aftermath, mom found boxes of slides he took during his two tours (mostly '67). I'm scanning the slides and will post the standouts in this thread.

I'm a couple of hours into ROUTINE and very much enjoying it. It's visually stunning and oh so tense.

"This is visually ravishing hard sci-fi with some of the most committed diegetic design I’ve ever seen in a video game. [...] It can feel as if you are actually there, inhabiting the physical space of this magnificently believable lunar base."

Thank you, @theverge.com!

Reminder that I'm still looking fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com
It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

That much money financing games by actual game developers would have financed 150+ of the highest budget AAA games, and the several orders of magnitude more jobs to produce them. Instead it was burned failing to produce advertiser-safe Second Life.

More than anything else classism is that if you lose your company half a million you get fired, but if Zuck loses Meta 77 billion he gets paid $28 million.

Meritocracy doesn't fail due to DEI, if fails becaues we can't ever let a rich nimrod suffer consequences for any level of screwup.

No need to wait for the fifth movie, which is currently in development: Men in Black is back today with a VR game on Quest that UploadVR rather liked.

When I was a kid, my older brother was playing a modded version of Tribes that let you build stuff. He made a cowboy that was several stories tall and had a big hog that would launch you across the map. Players lined up to try it. I think we should build that instead of data centers.

Heavy stuff but it’s been a couple years since my dad took his own life. He was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, and mom found boxes and boxes of slides he took. Going to start digitizing everything to preserve them. Feels important. These are just shots from the tv since I’m waiting on a card reader

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).
