  • I basically had to unfollow everyone on the latter platform

    Jump

  • I imagine that Brennan Lee Mulligan walks a fine line as a public figure.

    He still plays D&D often enough to (seemingly) not alienate people at Wizards whose work helped launch his career.

    But he also plays significant amounts of other games, including some that I think are Indie developers, like Kids on Bikes.

    I'm sure he's aware of the issues and concerns in the community around D&D under Wizards - and probably shares many of those same concerns, as a fellow player and DM.

    But, yes, the idea that Brennan secretly hates anything sounds pretty silly. Brennan has been pretty direct with his epic rants about things he really hates.

  • 'Legend Of Zelda' Movie Casts Bo Bragason & Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Releasing May 7, 2027

    Jump

  • I can't wait for the press to join in the confusion:

    "What was it like to play Nintendo's famous elf swordsman, Zelda?"

    "I played Link."

    "What's a link?"

  • New Poster for "Mortal Kombat 2"

    Jump

  • This does look very 90s. I hope it 90s so hard.

  • r/israel in meltdown over Superman movie

    Jump

  • I keep expecting Jeff Bezos to get angry at the portrayal of Lex Luthor to top it off.

  • Meetings? Pssh

    Jump

  • The rule of cool helps with honesty too.

    My team knew well in advance that we would be short-staffed on the day the Switch 2 released.

  • BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler

    Jump

  • "We could be in serious legal trouble."

    "Don't worry. My billions will protect me."

  • We're bringing Pebble back!

    Jump

  • That's exactly my experience, as well.

    The PineTime is the best current option for a pebble enthusiast, since the Pebble.

    But I still have to charge the PineTime every week or so, and that is with the screen off most of the time.

    I miss the Pebble's battery life.

  • Chris Pratt Returns To Re-Voice Garfield As Alcon Entertainment Unveils Sequel Details

    Jump

  • What I assume went down at the studio:

    "People have expressed exhaustion toward movies centered on Chris Pratt. Is there anything we can do about that, while still making another movie centered on Chris Pratt?"

    "Well, sir...no one is asking for another Garfield movie..."

    "Perfect. It's match! Get someone to sell us the rights to a first pass AI script, and ship this thing."

  • Amazon engineers and marketers were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery

    Jump

  • I don't see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.

    So I assume you wrote this after picking up groceries from your locally owned grocery store? Because you still have one - it didn't collapse due to a Walmart coming to town?

    Most of us have a solid example of what driving a grocery store out of business looks like, though.

  • Tech Giants Team Up With Teachers Union on $23M AI Academy

    Jump

  • "Not everyone in the union will celebrate this corporate partnership. Some members have legitimate concerns about tech giants shaping classroom priorities through financial relationships."

    When has a corporation and a Union ever not seen eye to eye?

    (Please don't answer. This is sarcasm. Otherwise RIP my inbox.)

  • Humpback Whales Blow Bubble ‘Smoke’ Rings to Communicate With Humans

    Jump

  • One of the first messages translated:

    "Are the monkeys listening? Shit. How long have they been listening? I should provide some context for what I bubbled yesterday..."

  • Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales

    Jump

  • Wow, I totally missed the part where Microsoft had a gun to your head.

    Yes. Microsoft is good at hiding that part until it's too late to do much about it.

  • Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales

    Jump

  • There’s no industry pressure to be on Gamepass, yet.

    Microsoft doesn't willingly lose money on something unless they think they can make it into a market distorting rent extraction hellscape. something very profitable later.

  • Connor Myers: As if graduating weren’t daunting enough, now students like me face a jobs market devastated by AI

    Jump

  • Many firms are now slashing their number of new hires.

    Yes. This sucks.

    The main cause of this is artificial intelligence

    Unlikely.

    The main cause for a chill in hiring tends to be uncertainty about the future. And we know that folks are feeling high uncertainty about the future, right now. (Gestures broadly at current headlines in general and "Not The Onion", in particular.)

    Historically, uncertainty about the future is particularly high when the people have low confidence that existing and new laws will be applied in a predictable manner.

    I'll leave exactly what changed on that front as a thought exercise.

    AI is interesting, but it is not the primary cause of the chill in hiring new graduates.

  • According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

    Jump

  • Tablet pornography must be nice.

    That seems like someone who made a plan, and then lived out their best evening.

    I imagine those tablet Pornhub users probably prepared themselves a nice mixed drink, set out some snacks, and got all cozy in a bathrobe first.

    Tablet pornhub sounds like some kind of intentional self care.

    Jump

  • Haha!

    But uh...I would watch that. That sounds pretty hot.

  • [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck? - July 2025

    Jump

  • Be sure to take a moment to reboot into desktop, and search the built in Linux app store for free games. There's some absolute gems.

    Edit: And after installing, right click the game on the desktop or menu, and choose "Add To Steam", to make it show up in the usual Steam interface.

  • Trump’s Defiance of TikTok Ban Prompted Immunity Promises to 10 Tech Companies

    Jump

  • It can be hard to guess who to bribe, or how big each bribe should be?

  • Keir Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says

    Jump

  • I'm constantly amazed that this is a hard subject for people. As the golden rule says:

    "I'm not going to reach into your pants, without an invitation. And I prefer no one reach into my pants, because we barely know each-other. Whatever someone tells me is in their pants, I'll take their word for it, as long as they haven't flashed me in public. Also, shitting in practically transparent stalls is awful for everyone, and showering with strangers sucks. Let's all just do less of both."
