Google AI just telling people to drink piss. Perfect, no notes.

Robin told Batman he was thinking about pre-ordering a game. After slapping Robin across his stupid mouth, Batman explained that he should wait to see if the game is in a tested and working state before he buys it, otherwise the publishers have no reason not to release a broken game since they've already been paid.

Points in favour of playing Little Kitty, Big City:

• Hats for cats
• Hide in boxes
• Photo mode
• Pounce!

Points against:

• None, game is purrfect

A white cardboard box. Through a hole in the side there is a black cat with green eyes looking out at you. Their tail is just visible poking out of the top of the box.
An action shot of a black cat wearing a cactus hat mid-pounce. There is an unsuspecting blue and white bird in the foreground that is definitely about to be pounced on.

Now, I won't lie and say I was especially interested in this game to begin with but I can tell you what kills my interest pretty quickly.

'Editions'

Yeah, jog on.

I finally removed it from the App Store, RIP. Would probably feel worse if I didn't consider the service dead too.

My credit score dropped when I paid off my car.

My credit score dropped when I paid off my student loans.

Credit reporting agencies told me: "You should get more loans to increase your credit score."

The system punishes you for not owing them money.

They want you to be in debt.

Credit scoring is one of the biggest scams.

Today was a huge milestone in our quest to federate #Flipboard and tear down the walls around our own walled garden.

First, we launched a new version of Flipboard for iOS and Android which brings the promise of two way federation to life. Now when a federated Flipboard user curates, people in the fediverse can reply, favorite, boost or follow those Flipboard users who will in turn see that activity in their usual notifications tab. Even better, Flipboard users can directly reply to people in the fediverse -- and very soon they will also be able to follow each other.

Second, we federated some of our best curators today who are actively curating more than 10,000 magazines about everything from climate change to kale smoothie recipes. I'm grateful to our many curators and the service they provide to so many others who want to find the best content about a shared interest. I know our curators are excited to have millions more people who could potentially benefit from their curation. I also know that people in the fediverse will give a warm welcome to these curators. Especially now that everyone can hear and talk to each other over what was once two totally separate networks but now increasingly are in one and the same #fediverse.

It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s stream day!

Today, I’m going to find out if it’s possible to beat Crash Bandicoot without any breaking boxes! 📦

I’ll be streaming on Twitch at 8pm (UTC+1)!

Be there or be square… cubed… boxed? I dunno. 😅

Handy guide for April 8 I learned from an astronomer once upon a time:

☀️ — 🌙 — 🌎 = Solar Eclipse

☀️ — 🌎 — 🌙 = Lunar Eclipse

🌎 — ☀️ — 🌙 = Apocalypse

Enjoy! And wear your safety glasses, especially in case of apocalypse!

Whew, another month passed.

The past month has seen us getting a new powerful server, moving every service onto that server and starting a new service as well, Peertube, that I must admit, I wasn't expecting to get that much traction but I've been proven wrong.

More on https://ko-fi.com/the_gamers_tavern

Thank you all for your support :drac_heart:

Some days, parenting is your kid telling you that they want waffles, making waffles, and after giving them a plate of waffles, it isn't right.

“Dad, I wanted the flat waffles!”

Pancakes. They wanted pancakes.

Sure the Oxford dictionary added rizz but they also added "youthquake" and I know nothing of anyone who ever said that, not even remotely.

After the last EA WRC rally stream I felt the urge to share this with the world.

Have some merch from #TheGamersTavern (yeah this is new!)

I want to share this publicly, as I feel there are other admins out there that might want to see it and possibly chime in here as well.

https://social.growyourown.services/@FediTips/112163544709115656

@FediTips which is the same person(s) who own/run @FediGarden has confirmed to the DM's they have sent.

I've provided some feedback for them, and would love to see other admins do the same possibly.

I am no longer down with the sickness. Needless to say I am not disturbed.

harrybo93, 2 months ago to rally

Hey! Just popping my head up again to say that if you missed me doing my rally streams or want a new one to follow, I’ve slowly started getting back into it again- with EA WRC. You can find me over at The Gamer’s Tavern Peertube instance ☺️

Here’s the VOD- which actually turned out to be more like a video I wanted to record anyway rather than a stream!
