I never foresaw the possibility of “agentic software” just becoming a new version of Da Joose, but here we are

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives
Benjamin De Kraker O @BenjaminDEKR Follow OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How? The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk") 1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK" 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage: - Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats - 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone - Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."

This is the worst thing about Super Robot Wars and imo I don’t think it’s good to do this for any game!

Nintendo is placing restrictions on certain image sharing features for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/...
Nintendo aims to create experiences where players have the freedom to enjoy their Mii characters in their own way. In Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, this freedom can sometimes lead to humorous, surprising, or unpredictable moments during gameplay. While these moments are often fun for players, we recognize that out-of-context scenes may be misunderstood or may not reflect the spirit in which the game is intended to be enjoyed. Nintendo is committed to creating experiences that are welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. To support this commitment, and in consideration of the unique gameplay in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, we have decided to place restrictions on certain image sharing features. These limits help to make the worlds players create in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream remain fun and safe, and that the game can be enjoyed comfortably by all players. We understand that some players may find these restrictions limiting. However, they reflect Nintendo’s ongoing philosophy of creating experiences that bring smiles to everyone who plays.

People joke that it’s easy miss Gundam’s themes in favor of Cool Robot Action, but War in the Pocket tries its damnedest, with this guy, the leader of the special forces that will kill over 200 civilians and try to nuke a colony, named Colonel Killing

Pokemon Z-A’s DLC actually fixed the issue with all previous Pokemon DLC: they came up with some shit to artificially increase levels so you can’t just roll in and stomp ass with your level 100 hyper trained perfect EV team. Pokemon going over 100 is such a simple but elegant solution.

You know Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism, where the enemies of fascists are both totally incompetent and yet the most dangerous force on earth? That sounds like it's actually real for these guys. Roll up in tactical gear, assault rifles, and a license to kill, but can be waylaid by Mario Kart antics.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin on "acts of violence" against ICE agents in Minnesota: "Pouring water on the ground so that it would freeze the ground in front of our federal law enforcement vehicles so that they would potentially slide, crash, and potentially kill them"

I get mad every time I remember we don’t have the Yuri!!! on ICE movie. I don’t know enough about the anime industry to know what went wrong, but it still feels real bad!

The success of Heated Rivalry makes the disappearance of Yuri on Ice and Sayo Yamamoto all the more sad to me.
