Friendslists in games never really clicked with me. Why would I want to interrupt my bud who's doing achievables or story mode saying like "hey wanna play some unranked 1v1 with me bud?"
I went to get beaten at #keyforge tonight! This new set dials up the complexity a lot, but I clearly need to get better at my decision making in this game.
I found out the Forza series has a loyalty rewards program where you get stuff in the new games by having enough achievements in the old ones. I've been aggressively powering through Motorsport 7 this weekend!

You MUST play AI Dungeon 2, a text adventure game run by a neural net.
@nickwalton00 built it using @OpenAI's huge GPT-2-1.5B model, and it will respond reasonably to just about anything you try. Such as eating the moon.

I love how my only use of Matrix is continually reauthenticating with nickserv each time the bridge resets.
Dark Sky is a pretty nice app. It finally got me to start paying attention to the weather!
Electric or not, this is the most adorable car I've seen. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/uniti-one-three-seat-ps15k-electric-city-car
I hope the next Forza lets us do electric motor conversions. :)
I guess academia dot edu got some new marketing vps because i'm getting slammed by emails after nearly four years of silence
also academia dot edu should have the edu domain revoked
Waking up to cybertruck news like

My whole childhood, I was always terrified that a computer error would show some scary image at me when I got an error. Turns out that I wasn't wrong!
Mach E reveal was kinda fun. Mostly glamour shots and a bunch of big wigs awkwardly reading teleprompters. Looking forward to seeing Prof Kelly tear into the engine of one of Ford's hybrids to see if we can gain any insight into how these ponies are going to be built.
They are putting some energy into this Mach E reveal, and even throwing some shade at Tesla. :)
I probably wouldn't find the plethora of EV charging apps so annoying if they would stop logging me out all the time.
cw: car accident, but all good news
oh no, i tried to play star citizen and spent 25 minutes hyperdriving to arc corp just to crash into the no fly zone
