Even a crapshoot is better than the straight advertisements on Google.

Unfortunately, we have bears around my parts. And bears like the fruit too, driving human bear conflict. Which means the bears are killed. 🐻 :(

What scientific discovery, which could actually happen in the next 5 years, would have the most impact in our lives in you opinion? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

In the next 5 years?

I'm skeptical. In the next 20, sure.

UCI doing bullshit? I'm soooo surprised.

Let's discuss: Super Mario in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org 4 points 7 months ago

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

What's in your tsundoku pile? (beehaw.org)
 

We've all got one. That pile of books waiting to be read, some of them surely doomed to linger for years as other more enticing novels are selected instead. What's in yours?

Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now? (www.playbalatro.com)
 

I'm not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I've enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly satisfying.

Anyone else hopelessly addicted to joker poker?

The massive 10 book epic fantasy series is a classic of the genre. If you've been interested in the series at all, this is the cheapest price I've seen for the whole lot.

A response to the Sarah Silverman suing OpenAI post from yesterday: [AI doesn't read or write like humans, and we shouldn't act like it does.] (agrobertson.substack.com)
 

A long form response to the concerns and comments and general principles many people had in the post about authors suing companies creating LLMs.

Can't believe they really brought back Volvy! (www.youtube.com)
 

Volvy was one of my favourite video game characters when I was growing up. So great to see this revitalisation after they ruined the character with Volvy2.0.
