I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Aslan to lead it

Nailed it, as usual. You focus on tech but let’s not forget the actual concrete human cost left in the wake of these absolute ghouls across all industries. www.cnn.com/2020/01/10/b...

Many moons ago I interviewed at Facebook and was asked to pitch them a new feature idea. I suggested something around monitoring at-risk signals for depression and surfacing resources to help users. Now those same signals are probably used for targeting antidepressant advertising. Bleak.

You don’t want to outsource your critical thinking faculties to the bullshit-generating plagiarism machine? How very dare you.

Just cleared a level of Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods I had been stuck on for more than a year (because I’m an aging masochist who refuses to lower the difficulty from Ultra Violence). Feels good man. Rip and tear, until it is done.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Really wanted to like Atomfall but the clunky combat and completely broken stealth mechanics outweigh any interest and intrigue I’ve found so far in the story. Think I’m gonna uninstall and maybe revisit if/when they fix a few rough edges.

Finished Avowed yesterday, what a delightful game. Aesthetically gorgeous, solid story with real consequences to decisions, well written companions (even wet blanket Marius) and combat that was tight and satisfying. They also gave you incentive to explore, with stuff hidden everywhere. Recommend!

“Problems aren’t problems unless they affect me directly” sure seems to be the default position of an awful lot of people these days

Early on I actually got a dialogue option where I literally pickpocketed 300 gold off the ambassador while he talked about something boring. Game is great, there’s depth there for anyone who persists to see it. I make a point not to listen to the smooth-brained haters.

Same here for their hockey game. It’s been a bug-riddled bucket of hot trash for 15 years now.

The way our tech bro overlords are broadly marketing and leveraging this technology (eliminating jobs, copyright infringement, further enshittification of their products, general grift) is doing real harm to public perception of legitimate use cases like this

Recently downloaded the Alex Kidd in Miracle World reboot. I finished that multiple times in the pre-internet days at age 7-8. Adult me died 17 times on the first level and gave up.

Every Aussie of a certain age (mine) would agree. Been a fan since Elsewhere for 8 Minutes. Saw them support Powderfinger in Brisbane in 2001 shortly before they tore down Festival Hall and the vibes were unmatched.
