30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers.

#TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996.

this is fake and I don't even care

it's still a mood

Female octopuses throw rocks at males that bother them, documented in Octopus tetricus

No! It’s because I’m disassociating!

I appreciate that this discord ad or whatever it is I got after updating used a relatable mood instead of basic dismiss/close text

(that's how they getcha)

The dungeons in Oblivion have to have been procedurally generated, right? Just from a time when that was pretty universally considered "cool" and not like laziness?

And it was considered cool until pretty recently, too- the procedurally generated everything in No Man's Sky was sort of the point.

That being said, don't pay too much attention to things like speed of light or distance or time or temperature when any of these things are provided in numbers as none of the math checks out consistently from one part of the movie to another

I saw Project Hail Mary last week and my first reaction was that it was sort of overhyped, and while it was a very good movie it wasn't the best sci-fi movie ever, which it seemed like people were implying

But it's been growing on me as time goes on, and now I think I agree it's up there

I had so much fun with it, it's like a modern Oblivion with parrying and Elden Ring dungeon design

But like a modern Oblivion, the jank adds character (later in the game there are multiple bits of dialog with voice actor errors/retakes, for instance)

It feels like it was written by an AI- the story and main character are nothing and all his dialog feels like it comes from a soundboard

I've quit playing better games

If you are looking for something with heart and fun despite the jank, Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon is much more worthwhile

although, only one of these games feels like it was created by algorithms and it isn't Claire Obscur

Crimson Desert has dropped to a “mixed” Steam review rating, with most of the complaints revolving around the controls. Now, the PR and marketing director at developer Pearl Abyss has responded. https://bit.ly/4sy0huY

behold, bargain bin verso

Okay, so I've played a bit of Crimson Desert and you can't remap the controls on PS5 and I've been playing FO76 recently so keep trying to open my map with the touch pad and instead zooming in on my character's goofy ass bargain bin Verso face, lol

Was curious about Crimson Desert, knowing basically nothing about it, so I'm watching streamers play it

At first it looked like a generic Assassin's Creed clone and now it looks like a 1 to 1 clone of Witcher 3's Novigrad, and just Novigrad?

If someone had told me the new Super Mario Bros movie had the theme from the Super Mario Bros Super Show as an easter egg I would have tried watching it much sooner

ChatGPT: you’re so right, Leto Atreides II. Merging with a worm would give you unconscionable power that you, alone, could wield — you, alone, could be trusted with. You wouldn’t be committing a genocide. You would be saving humanity

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then

Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

The best way to describe Portland is that their roundabouts have stop signs.

Truly a perfect news alert

Between FO76's newest update, which added bigfoot as a post-event boss, and new emoji adding "hairy creature", I'm curious what the source of the current Sasquatch zeitgeist is

I take solace knowing that when ww3 happens it will be announced on truth social and I will die blissfully unaware

Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, told 404 Media in an email: “We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT." Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester

A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over...

To be clear: I say "ridiculous" in the most affectionate way possible.

I love this.

In Fallout 76 there is a camera "weapon" that normally takes captures functionally identical to photo mode except they added a ridiculous Easter egg if you take a camera photo of the new Bigfoot boss wherein the photo becomes blurry

It feels like it's been ten years since I've heard anything about SXSW, but this year I'm seeing/hearing ads for it all over- they're really trying to make it a thing again, huh?

It is good to make fascists & bigots feel bad

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

I had forgotten how The Simpsons put the extra effort in to flip this joke. Rather than just satirizing US nationalist parochialism, Homer is (momentarily) an expert on Iranian politics.

Started playing High on Life 2 and was delighted to get the good ending

I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.
