Finally tried Palworld.
Caught my first Pal. Set up a base and gave it a job. By the end of the day it had depression.
Most realistic video game I've ever played.

It is hard living in our world at present, perhaps it has always been so, but I can only speak for now, and on my own behalf. I try to speak out, but am ignored ... so I write verse to help my heart and soul.

The first time I got Star Fox 64 I was a toddler.
The second time I got Star Fox 64, I was graduating high school.
The third time I got Star Fox 64 I started getting grey hairs and I now have glasses.
This game is the fucking Cats In The Cradle song.

“You can pick any assortment you like or buy a special box complete with all letters, punctuation marks, and a book of instructions. Here, taste an A; they’re very good.” Milo nibbled carefully at the letter and discovered that it was quite sweet and delicious—just the way you’d expect an A to taste

Cosmic horror is great because it just kinda invents itself. Spend a bit too long thinking about the sun and you realize it’s a radioactive death ball larger than your mind has capacity to comprehend, so inherently dangerous that looking directly at it will harm you, and it’s just sitting there.

@overlysarcastic.bsky.social According to the article, Boat Lists = "cheat code to a more comfortable afterlife"
Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 2,000-year-old mummy with a papyrus fragment of the “Iliad” sealed in a clay packet outside its wrappings. It is the first time a literary work has been found playing a functional, spiritual role in the mummification process.
Archaeologists Find Egyptian Mummy Buried With the ‘Iliad’
For the deceased of Roman-era Egypt, Greek literature may have offered a cheat code to a more comfortable afterlife.

Just finished a design review. Why am I trying to drive an ampere through eight tiny wires over two nanoseconds, two million times per second? This seems so far from the job I used to do of measuring nanovolts and picoamps...

Warwick Davis was 11 when he was cast to play 'Wicket' in 'Return of the Jedi'. His grandmother heard a casting call for people <4 ft., knew he was a Star Wars superfan.
Mark Hamill reportedly bought him every Star Wars action figure he didn't *already* own.

2+2=4 is right.
2+2=5 is wrong.
2+2=🦞 is neither. It's not even wrong. It's just a lobster.
But if you really wanted to be a dipshit, you could say "Aha you can't prove me wrong! You're just mad I'm right!!!" and run away screaming about lobsters.
This is how a lot of internet arguments work.

Star Trek Voyager started 31 years ago today on UPN.
So Robert Picardo has been playing The Doctor for 31 years. A role he reprised in Prodigy (2024) and then yesterday in Starfleet Academy.

So many times I've done this. Props to Stranger Things for giving every major character a unique hairstyle so people like me can actually tell them apart.
The music swells. The mysterious man slowly reaches up to remove his mask. He reveals his face to the audience! Gasp!
And I have no idea who he is, because I’m faceblind, so this plot twist flies right over my head. #ActuallyAutistic

Yes, it's an old colander... but it's there's something special and historical about the artefact... can you tell what's so extra interesting about it?
