@xwanyex We had one of these puzzles that made the animal noise when you placed the piece correctly. It was light sensitive, so when we left the board on the front porch, we would start hearing animal noises outside at sunset

@blacknredtext Doom Eternal. The gameplay seems so elegant but it's way more of a chore to play than 2016

When the idea of the game is better than the actual game

@PaulAnleitner Honestly modern Amazon rentals more or less scratch that itch. What made Netflix pernicious was that it inadvertently changed the kind of movies that got made.
English
If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster.
And we should.
While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable:
The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together.
That experience was special.

@HariSel57511397 Meta-film criticism: long, entertaining essays analyzing RLM and hbomberguy review videos and "analysis" of Marvel movies in order to paint a cultural history of the Internet between 2014 and 2114

What’s a genre of literature that doesn’t exist yet but will in a hundred years?

@JesseLucasSaga I think it was fun for engineers/developers, because there were a ton of new, interesting problems to solve (I saw lots of college student demos). But solving those problems means you get the best version of something I still don't want
English
@PeterStanhope1 There was never a "scene," there were never cool obscure games and demos messing with the potential of the hardware, if you wanted to do anything in VR you had to do it with some kind of licensing and approval and app store from the headset manufacturer and it was gross
English
I just never wanted one. None of the demos ever looked like something I would want to do, for any amount of money

The absolute non-takeoff of VR and AR is probably one of the big upsets in consumer electronics history Pretty much everyone thought this would be huge and it sort of just isn't

I also just got an extension on a conference deadline, no judgment from me

Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, expected to address artificial intelligence, international peace and the crisis in international law, is now expected later this month after the Holy See Press Office indicated an announcement regarding the document will be made on May 22.

I wonder if Rand modeled her leading men after Rhet Butler. A lot of them do that condescending sneer when they're being romantic

@Apogee_Ent Troggle Trouble Math. Game speed was linked to cpu speed which made things tricky as we upgraded

Oh, you’re a gamer? Name an edutainment game you played as a kid.

@Fredosphere Finished Shadow of the Torturer, trying to work myself up to continue with Claw

My greatest lit-related regret is trying so hard to love Gene Wolfe and concluding, reluctantly, that his obscurity is a self-indulgence I'm free to dislike.

The sad thing about the prequels is that everybody likes the young hot people fighting a war against an inhuman enemy and they don't even appreciate the satire of fascism

In retrospect, maybe letting a couple of bitter Trekkies tell us what was bad about Star Wars wasn’t a good idea.

@DAKKADAKKA1 Except that it's technically HD resolution I can't tell the difference, it's exactly what I remember

I must retract. India is amoral (not necessarily immoral) because Indians lack consciousness, which is correlated with their 76 IQ. People with low consciousness by definition accept a degraded life more easily. They don't feel the discomforts, humiliations, etc. as badly.
Jayant Bhandari@JayantBhandari5
A visit to India is absolutely necessary to understand the degradation that human beings are capable of accepting. Every man should visit India, and maybe work there for a few months.

Thinking about getting lilies for my Mom for Mother's Day, but do they have anything better? Like gold-covered lilies?

@SandyofCthulhu @wylfcen I begin shoving furniture in front of my hotel door and sidling outside along the windows in the hope that I can escape Diagon Alley
