Let your indictment be your excitement at the theme park of success

It’s gonna be “Edge” as people start to suffer cloud and subscription fatigue. When “services” revenue begins to flag, companies will try to get customers back on the hardware treadmill

(This is obviously just my wishful thinking)

You’re still gonna get Tutorialized™ every time there’s a new type of Pikmin or new mechanic, but eventually, it runs out of things to introduce. Everything after that is unfiltered good stuff. There are some tough challenges, but as always, the greatest challenge is the knowledge that you can probably just barely fit one more thing in today if you time everything juuuust right

I introduced the kids to Vampire Survivors which means I had to demonstrate Vampire Survivors so now I’m back to playing Vampire Survivors.

In turn, my daughter introduced me to Monster Train, which is just as good as everyone says and a great fit for tablet gameplay.

We try to get the kids’ friends from public school over every so often and let them play out in the yard. Our oldest daughter’s friends came over last week on Friday, and the rain forced everyone inside. I asked how their days at school went, and one of them said that she didn’t go to school because she felt sick that morning, but she’s just fine.

So my oldest daughter has COVID for the first time now, everyone is wearing masks around the house when we’re together, and I get to have a fun talk with her friend’s parents.

That sounds miserable. Good job dragging yourself to the clinic (twice!) to get some answers

Americans have over 100 words for slop

Are you looking to type notes, write notes, or both?

The 9th generation iPad (the last one with a home button) is $199 new right now, and the accessories for that model are both plentiful and being phased out, so those should be available for cheap.

Aaaaaaaakchually I think that’s a picture of the $599 “A01” 60GB model. It had WiFi and the chrome trim along the front. The $499 “B01” 20GB model was all black and looks slightly cooler imo

I cackled at the PS4 and PS5 disc rows

What is Simlish for “homina homina”

The Verge article has some examples that are hilarious in their banality. It’s all completely undisguised GPT slop

Something similar to this already exists as a mobile app (Butterflies). I know this because someone at a book club tried to explain it a couple of months ago, and everyone looked at him like he had three heads

At least Demi Moore is still alive so we can get some more of these good memes

Because of a trade embargo, all we have on hand are seven shipping containers filled with Jeff Hardy Enigmatic Champion belts

Due to a legal settlement several years ago, Tyrus is required to award a title belt to anyone he encounters who is a better professional wrestler than him. He hands out over 800 belts per week

Imagine Death Race 2000, but like, a whole war

The deadline for withdrawing from the Republican nomination in NC is tonight (the day before ballots are mailed out), so he just needs to dig his heels in for one more day. Hang in there, Mark, don’t let the loony left cancel you!

Thank you so much for not letting up. Every single example you’re giving is an opportunity for something to click in someone’s brain. Or for a kid who’s giving in to social pressure to at least know that there’s someone else who recognizes what’s happening.

When Palworld came out, I was surprised that the ever-litigious Nintendo didn’t take some sort of legal action. So to all the people on here who thought that was a bad take and called me out, all I have to say now is: you’re lovely and I appreciate you
