You may not like it, but this is what building wealth and saving for early retirement looks like.

Maybe. Is that the one with a floor-hole through to the cursed basement?

Exactly. This person has/needs a full or queen sized bed, but their bedroom isn’t big enough for it. So, it’s blocking the closet, because that’s the only place it can go.

This is why I follow reviewers and curators that sift through the bottom 99% to find interesting indie stuff. It’s absolutely jaw-dropping what never shows up on Steam’s store landing page or queues.

Splattercat is one such reviewer. He tends to prefer dystopia and post-apocalypse style stuff, and clearly works hard to bring interesting titles some more exposure: https://www.youtube.com/@splattercatgaming

You can survive Phantom Liberty. Bad news is that you’ll live on with at least five completely new forms of PTSD.

Good news is: you’re now functionally immortal.

Bad news is: everything tastes like metal.

The Ascent. I am now an indentured servant sanitation worker with a poor sense of self-preservation, but just so happens to be really good with a gun. Oh, and the arcology that is my home has been thrown into complete pandemonium because the head Corpo AGI shit the bed.

Brazil now has at least 16 more countries on their border, and none of them speak Portuguese.

What really gets me is that the compounds responsible for this hue in food are called “anthocyanins” which means “blue flower.” I can’t even.

No worries: those server chunks haven’t been explored yet. Give it time.

Seconded. That kind of humor is 100% on-brand for her.

Ah, that explains why the article smells like an LLM wrote it.

I feel ya. Pass the ibuprofen.

How in the world could someone find the energy to…

inhaling cocaine

Ah, okay. Why is the answer always drugs?

On a related note: every search engine under the sun now has AI built in EXCEPT the one called “Ask Jeeves”. If any of them should have been 100% AI, it was this one. And instead, it fucking died in the middle of all this.

I see you. Not enough people are going to get this one.

Right here. I love my wired headphones.

There’s kind of a catch here that explains why wireless has taken off. A lot of people do not, for whatever reason, respect the integrity of the cable and the strain relief at either end. Wires are this artificial abomination, a means to an end, and something to be contended with rather than cared for. They’re stored as a tangled mess, and recovered and un-tangled in a stream of stressed movements and much swearing. The result is broken, bent, crimped, strained, and ultimately broken wires.

Instead, wires must be cared for in specific ways and that is a skill that just isn’t taught to everyone. It hurts my soul every time I notice this.

Of course they’re not using them: have you seen what Telsa charges for their solar tiles? Tesla can’t afford that.

I can’t tell. Is this a Jonathan Swift reference?
