if you're so smart, then who is this
hmm that's five pebbles from the titular indie game: Rain World, the DLC of which I am currently playing and enjoying GREATLY. The Watcher campaign is as fantastic as it is confusing, as unfair as it is beautiful. Aimless wandering has never felt more aimless, and yet, the sheer disorientation leads to an experience so uniquely-cadenced that I can't think of another game that feels quite like it. Like a journey whose objective is unknown to you, you simply move to survive, bouncing between timelines in a vain effort for meaning - that meaning, however, is constructed through that very survival. The asynchrony of the world leads to the occasional moment of blissful serenity, a brief hiatus from predator and time, to stand and observe quietly the environments and art without interruption - as if the game knows this, the music slowly fades in to drench the scene in meaning. A sense of poignancy underpins those candid moments in a way very few games can muster. Some feel the sentiment of The Watcher betrays the OG game, but I think it's the only way to develop the same confused spectacle that the base game had, by pushing the boundaries of its own framework.

"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
Happy new years yall
recently we were out on a hilltop taking photos of the comet and suddenly some car's headlights blind us from across the bay. literally four miles away.
who the fuck is out here with these nuclear fusion powered headlights. who puts naval searchlights on their fucking toyota tacoma.
Remember when I told ya'll last month to be ready to start looking for a Discord alternative?
Yeah things aren't looking good for discord.
got any cursed facts about falcons?? π₯Ίππ
compared to hawks, falcons have shorter and weaker talons and shorter beaks! this, combined with a lighter overall build, means that falconkind is really badly unsuited to do the hawk/eagle/owl thing where they just plunge out of the sky and stab a rabbit to death with their feet.
so what they do instead is fly really high in the air, keeping an eye out for unwary birds they could get the drop on, and then they DROP.Β and as they drop, they curl their talon into a fist, which they use to strike their unwary prey at speeds well in excess of a hundred miles per hour. (this either stuns or outright kills the unlucky target)Β
and this method works so well that they can even take down birds much larger than themselves, like ducks!
so basically,
lol
