Happy 40th birthday to Bill Waterson’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. A work of consummate, stubborn, human, and more-than-human art.

Still so happy I got to take my bf to see NIN this summer. "Somewhat Damaged" live is always a blistering, cathartic treat

Bill has some pretty good rice opinions
Recommendation: this rice. We get big bags of it at the Asian grocery nearby. It is incredibly good and easy to make.
N.B. I am not paid to promote this, either with money or rice. But I’d take either.
This has been Bill’s rice recommendation. Good night.

Very funny to compare this to the Valve hardware announcement video, and think back to the Amazon guy on LinkedIn who was like, “why can’t we compete with Valve??? It is a mystery!!!”

Bill Oakley shared this sad news on Twitter, hadn’t seen it here yet: Dan McGrath has passed away.
A fantastic writer for SNL, Simpsons, Mission Hill (he wrote many fan’s favorite episode), King of the Hill, The PJs, and Gravity Falls. Any comedy nerd of the last 40 years knows so much of his work

Everyone needs to understand the ongoing 'Problem' is not relegated to the game industry; it is a modular tumor in EVERY industry. Every sector, every field, every institution.
The C-Suite's entire job is to HURT you; to take everything, while giving nothing. They are The Enemy.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

F-ZERO GX is one of the greatest games because it has 40 playable characters that aside from around 5 or 6 of them nobody has ever really thought that much about, and gives all of them voice acted interviews and their own theme song and short film. this game Loves guys like "Octo Man" and "Billy"

The fun part here is that the student anti-austerity protesters of 2011 were absolutely right, and the horrific MPs and crank politics pundits who screamed abuse at them were catastrophically wrong. But it’s the MPs and hacks who are holding all the microphones, so the public will never hear this.

boomers are acting awfully confident about how they speak to and about the generations that will struggle to finance their retirements
Rowling and Liddle are both repugnant, hate-driven arseholes, and this stuff is saying that believing they are is some kind of wild extremist insanity that must be expunged. How long do we think these miniature Canutes can send back the incoming tide, do we think?
