every exciting thing that could possibly happen to make us say "we really got X before we got gta 6" has such limited time that i suspect october 2026 might be human history's most hilariously eventful month

I am begging you to stop using AI to write your video scripts. Shortform content is becoming unwatchable and that's not even the crazy part

I can't stop thinking about how much 007 First Light's "training montages" tickled me. It's such a simple thing but the sequence of alternating combat/stealth/driving by "skill level" rather than "skill set" was the kind of thing that truly only modern gaming hardware can do.

TIL about depolymerisation, where rubber slowly degrades back into oil. if you regularly use your controllers you will always wipe away leeching oils without noticing, but i haven't played my PS5 since astro bot so when I picked up my controller it felt like a ghost had cum on it

absolutely NOTHING will prepare you for the eldritch horror this becomes
An automated A.I. WWE news channel on YouTube tries to pronounce "WWE" as a word and ends up going insane!🤣

i have always maintained that physicists should study Destiny 2 as it might be the only thing in the known universe that is somehow less than the sum of all of its parts. pour one out. i hope what rises from its ashes is something that is just Not A Live Service Game

anyone got any good sites for general assets? i used to be a big envato elements guy but i just discovered after downloading a bunch of assets (that looked fine in the thumbnail) are just obviously (at full size) AI generated. the items on the website do not indicate that at all

“wait a second… Heat rises” (it hits me) “heat rises!” Bank teller on floor: what? “Heat rises!” (I rush at the armed robber and he shoots me in the face killing me instantly. It’s unclear what my plan was)

has anyone considered that instead of calling it a "migration to a monorepo" it would be better to call it "owning the libs"

Utterly heartbroken for everyone at Flying Bark who worked so hard for so long only to have contextless clips of their work strewn all over the internet. Absolutely fuck leakers, man
