I didn't play it, but my wife and kid did, but the music really stood out to me when it was playing in the background. The tracks, Memories and Lullaby complement each other really well.

Sable (Spotify)

The soundtrack by Japanese Breakfast was one of the best parts of the game. A very solid mostly wordless ambient pop album. But the standout track is Glide. The song itself is fantastic but the moment it plays the game is so damn perfect. The whole soundtrack did an incredible job setting the tone for a slightly flawed but chill atmospheric adventure game.

You have to be a real piece of shit to be an adult for only 4 years and already have a problematic "past". It's more like it's his present than his past.

If we're talking something that sounds like a bootleg casset tape left out in the hot car ... Neon Indian has you covered. Most of the Psychic Chasms album is wobbly.

You're right. I'm on 16 now. Game still works for me though

We should really reclassify crimes against humanity to include some sort of species traitor clause. Because betraying humanity to benefit a fucking virus is the lowest of lows.

You can't beat "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" for a FOSS puzzle game app. 40 logic and puzzle games. Super simple UI, many puzzles have parameters to customize the difficulty in various ways. All come with detailed explanations of the rules or mechanics.

Various ways to get it. But I think play store is preferred. The f droid repo gave me a compatibility warning when looking it up just now.

Yes. It needs to be taken back. I've been thinking things like a large group of protesters saying the pledge of allegiance would be quite impactful as to who's on the other side.

Being arrested at a protest? Yell the pledge. See how they try to spin that.

Split up, overwhelm the resources

I grew up without any sort of home computer. Still went to school for computer graphics and 3D animation, taught myself programming in the computer lab in the evenings. Only after getting my degree did I get my first computer. I've been a professional developer for the last 15ish years.

I did have access to school computers most of my life. My first memory was learning LOGO on an Apple II in elementary school. Making that turtle draw fractals. Good times.

Now this is how you stop fascism.

Watching the video of him struggling with it doesn't really sell the point.

It not being an efficient tool could explain why they're not around, if that's the case.

We need more defiance

Is sex different? It seems like sex has changed in society. Like, more openness, less taboo. But also conservative sexual beliefs seem to be pulling harder in the opposite direction.

Oh, you mean Sticky Willy?

Kids in the Hall and it's Dave Foley playing it straight while Kevin McDonald is held down. Bruce McCullough in drag as the groomer.

Adult injuries are just echoes of the childhood injuries we walked away from. That thrown baseball bat to the knee when I was 10, yeah, it's crunchy now.

I bet he thinks they'll be building an actual dome.

Regulate its energy consumption and emissions. As a whole, the entire AI industry. Any energy or emissions in effort to develop, train, or operate AI should be limited.

If AI is here to stay, we must regulate what slice of the planet we're willing to give it. I mean, AI is cool and all, and it's been really fascinating watching how quickly these algorithms have progressed. Not to oversimplify it, but a complex Markov chain isn't really worth the energy consumption that it currently requires.

A strict regulation now, would be a leg up in preventing any rogue AI, or runaway algorithms that would just consume energy to the detriment of life. We need a hand on the plug. Capitalism can't be trusted to self regulate. Just look at the energy grabs all the big AI companies have been doing already (xAI's datacenter, Amazon and Google's investments into nuclear). It's going to get worse. They'll just keep feeding it more and more energy. Gutting the planet to feed the machine, so people can generate sexy cat girlfriends and cheat in their essays.

We should be funding efforts to utilize AI more for medical research. protein folding , developing new medicines, predicting weather, communicating with nature, exploring space. We're thinking to small. AI needs to make us better. With how much energy we throw at it we should be seeing something positive out of that investment.

I wasn't expecting my bingo card to fill up so fast.
