The Stochastic Game

The Wicker Man, but make it horny: this looks bonkers and I am intrigued.

I just learned that apparently the version of “The Name Of The Rose” that’s on Amazon Prime has removed the sex scene, which would of course be ironic, given the movie’s theme of religiously-driven censorship, if it wasn’t just sad. Once again, piracy is the best user experience.

It’s blackberry season! Go around your neighbourhood and pick a bunch! Remember to taste before taking: some bushes are more sour than others. AFAICT, the more sun exposure (such as south-facing bushes), the sweeter the taste (but I need to look into it properly)

This is quite fun: a digital museum of video game levels, that you can freely fly through and explore.

GenAI and “prediction markets” ruin everything, part 253: “What just happened to TheNumbers.com should worry us all”

“EA boss awarded $38.6M for layoffs and genAI bullshit”: If I was still an EA employee, I think I would start heckling the town hall meetings until Andrew Wilson stopped showing his face in public, or I was dragged out by the security staff.

I just realized that the excellent mini-series “The Lost Room” and the promising but abandoned “Parallels” TV movie/pilot were both done by the same guy, and now I really need someone to throw money at Christopher Leone to make more cool weird shit.

Yay! I have joined the ELITE club of people who say cool stuff like “where did I leave my darn reading glasses?” or “can you get my reading glasses from the table?” or “my knee hurts!” or “what?! speak up!!”

Excited about this new chapter of my life.

Out-of-context Dragonbane session quotes from tonight: “you can’t have a rebound chicken, you need to mourn first”, and “let’s use chicken as AOE attacks!”

Tonight’s Dragonbane dice-rolling went well! Also, my players plan to fight the Dead Eyes Cave’s monster by chugging chicken at it, only looking at the chicken and casting Thunderbolt on each one, so that the bolt bounces onto the monster 😂 Of course I’m not going to allow that 🤣
