Have did that because he built several industry leading video games, then built the largest online video game store front, and a hardware company the size most companies have for web dev.

The video game industry is larger than Hollywood and the music industry combined. Steam generated over 17 billion USD in revenue over 2025, with a team of around 350 full time employees.

One of the biggest reasons i stick around, is just the slower pace and lack of algorithms. If i check in the morning, there’s a good chance that the same content will be trending in the afternoon or evening so I’m less inclined to scroll.

I tried out the whole traditional adult thing, and honestly, I’m a lot happier watching cartoons and playing video games.

So Trump is tanking the economy and burning through cash so bad he has to take money from people without jobs.

I always kinda wondered how biblical ocean boiling would come about.

But why? Arguably, the only thing missing from bg1/2 enhanced editions are controller support, other then that they’re perfectly playable.

I mean, if you can handle 2e, which many people can’t.

Thus was happening at the same time they were being sued for (among other things) Embrace Extend Extinguish.

Ok but she’s not going to say no because of the implication.

I mean, that was a solid cpu, but damn.

This was supposed to be my upgrade cycle. I built our PC’s in 2021, and i tend to upgrade every 5 years. Between the pricing and industry collapse, and just plain having more fun with low spec games, i don’t know how long it’s going until i upgrade again.

Yeah, but Mr. Wizard’s a dick.

He was awesome, but i love those clips.

Imagine how jank that game would have been on release if they tried varied procedurally generated biomes hahaha.

I mean, Rothfuss has produced a couple novellas, and Martin has some projects. I get it, but at the same time i wouldn’t blame either of them if they didn’t feel comfortable releasing another of their mainline series.

I want them to, and ten years is a long ass time, but nothing they produce will live up to the hype so that probably causes a lot of anxiety.

But maybe im projecting here. Idk. I feel like the same thing is the reason we don’t have a Half-Life 3 video game. The first two made such a huge impact in terms of tech and gameplay that nothing is going to live up to the hype. So you can either kill yourself trying to achieve unachievable levels of amazing, or go do something you want to do.

I think Rothfuss/Martin and others are pressured too much. No matter what they produce, it will never be good enough to satisfy the hordes of loudmouths.

There are several ‘edits’ you can put together online that are actually way better than the movies. They cut out a lot of the nonsense and trim around excess to provide a 2-ish hour movie that feels choppy but good.

Okay, but my cats tail points straight to the back of his head. What the shit does that mean? Is he leading me to pirate treasure?

Unrelated but, Theres a section of Prince George Canada that all of a sudden does a big U. The story i was told is that back in the day there were two competing railway companies, and one of them bought enough influence that when the city was making roads to the other company, they instead made the roads bend back.

I still have my Kickstarter book, complete with gross dead wasp.

I found a Ghost Magpie. These fellas are usually a pretty black and green colour, but sometimes they have a genetic abnormality that makes 'em brown!
