DNC did this to MAGA candidates and it backfired dramatically. Happy to see GOP falling for the same faulty logic.

You’re right about AC2, especially since it’s a relatively quiet year for hits (2009) so getting a nomination shouldn’t have been that hard. That said, it has a lot to do with who is voting, money spent on promoting the game, etc., and I’m not sure it would have won GotY even though it might even end up on some people’s top games of all time.

Fun fact, apparently same year Minecraft released. Lol (I looked up a list, that and LittleBigPlanet are my favorite of the year).

Yeah but that’s most of DC right now. Undead walk the halls of Congress.

Technically only a HIPAA violation of the doctor uploads stuff. Uploading your is stuff is just violating your own privacy, which at this point might just be a boomer national pass time.

Wife and I agreed that we needed to save during this summer, only to immediately have to buy a new bed for kids, get expensive dental work done, and repair the bathtub fixtures.

I’m grateful we’ll manage but it’s like it literally waited for us to want to save.

There’s an evolutionary reason we and other animals prefer to sleep facing the opening(s) of our rooms (for humans that actually means the top of the head is not same side as door).

That said, somehow bets are off as to which side we face once laying down; I prefer to face the wall I think because enclosed spaces make me feel safer, like a cat. Or maybe it reduces stimuli, or something.

Though lately I think my body likes sleeping on my right side since that side has more muscle, even though I’d rather sleep on my left for acid reflux reasons. Both are better reasons than the wall.

I mean, he was married to a Taiwanese woman who immigrated at 8; he might have spoken some Mandarin while he was still alive even if you don’t count his benefactors.

The number of specific game fixes is both absurd and a testament of what you can do when you keep excellent bookkeeping of user tickets. You’re bug fixing basically the entire history of PC gaming, which kinda reminds me of the efforts made in the emulation space but at a larger scale.

My favorite part of the patch notes is basically "EA broke their games again because of their launcher so we made it work again. They might as well should add a long sigh at the end.

Actually there is some valid advice on dressing up a little because it helps with the work/life separation. I never did it because I like work and life blending (I enjoy teaching and doing research and I have zero decorum anyway) but psychologically, cues like your clothes can help set the mindset.

The same is true for location, too. Don’t work from bed unless you want that shit keeping you up at night.

If only that office had a lethal gas leak…

My 4yo says she keeps candy in her candy pockets. I hope that remains the case long into adulthood.

That was my exact thinking too; I update because it’s red and not green. That, and pacman goes waka waka waka.

Thank you for posting it, I wasn’t going to go to Truth social to find out. That said. Meh. What an uncreative slop image befitting of the current administration.

Honestly, an airplane decked out in real graffiti art would look sick as fuck.

I have that same mental disorder but I kind of reframed it and stopped burning out as much as I used to. It’s not that I enjoy the grind, but multitasking, hanging with friends, and keeping short term goals make it more fun. I’m getting a lot more 100%s and chronicle the min/max I use to help others, too.

Until you hit knew high, then you’re giving off an entirely different vibe.

I don’t think the truth is going to factor in, but my father has been outsourcing his thinking to Gemini lately and in that case it’s fairly straightforward: they have a profile on him as a moderate Democrat, so it suggests anyone with that tag. It likely isn’t going to fact check that tags, though.

But back to truth: it will pull top search results which very much can be gamed, just like pre-LLM days. That means a false story pushed on a candidate is popular, it’ll default to that and could mislead a voter. That, and of course whatever weights the owner of that LLM sets (although, that is much more subtle than other commenters let on; a weight generally isn’t absolutely, it simply tips things so like, Democratic Socialists won’t magically get recommended MAGA but conservative independents will based on higher values set to conservative tags like immigration views).

Right, this is the kind of Brexit I can get behind.

I don’t care; I heard the orange man is to give out the trophy and man it’d be great if Mexico won.

While it’s indeed fake, the satire was fun. It notes that whenever you see a Let’s Go Brandon bumper sticker, it’s in regards to this very famous gay porn star. Same with the chants. Those guys were just big fans of gay porn, y’know.

I still have DDR2s somewhere… pray we do not need it.
