- BREAKING: Joe Biden signs an executive order mandating all waterfalls in video games have something hidden behind them.
- If I know game devs, then right now there are a couple hundred devs at Sony going 'shit, it's the fucking cube thing' right now.I present to you all the strangest bug I've ever experienced in all my years of gaming: Playing Spider-Man 2 as a cube.
00:00 - Hi. Game designer here. I’ve seen the metrics. While it’s not just you, there is a sizable number of players who spend huge amounts of time in character creation. Some will spend more than an hour there. (Thread)Is it just me or are character creation screens nothing but a stupid, narcissistic waste of time?
AI-enhanced camera technology helps solve murder in Missouri abc7.la/4a6oWgw- Love hearing about ‘the sanctity of life’ from the same people who have spent the last two years arguing that killing grandma is a small price to pay for being able to sit in an Applebee’s.
- “And every four years, we will have suburban housewives in Pennsylvania choose a new president.” “Just Pennsylvania, sir?” “And Wisconsin and Michigan. And maybe Arizona, as a treat.” “No one else can vote, sir?” “They can vote but it won’t matter.”

- The fact that the right is more interested in disqualifying Walz than Harris is fascinating. My head has run through several theories. (Short thread)
- The last week on Twitter has been really an amazing string of WTF, even by the impressive standards of Elon. It's really funny when you put all the pieces together. it's important to start at the beginning. Twitter's pretty broke. (amusing thread)
- It's brilliant but it's brilliant because the banter FEELS like modern-day table banter of a fun, silly TTRPG group and also I firmly choose to believe the 'friend who plays a paladin who can only show up for one session a month' was an intentional vibe they chased.D&D players how do you feel about this movie?
