This is the funniest thing maybe I’ve ever read

@StillIRise1963
As parody, this would be Borowitz level of on the nose and too much.

@StillIRise1963 He fits right in with the other candidates. Makes sense that all the options for President are people whose lives are imminently falling apart. Appropriate!

Is there a single studio they haven’t managed to death?

The best I can come up with is that Obsidian made Pentiment.

Sad stuff! I wonder if the new Fable will be good.

@SirTapTap
I’ve never played any of them, but the trailer looked surprising and daring, which I think is the main issue with these MS studios: they get frozen in place trying to remake the thing that was successful at the time of acquisition.

Something I'm noticing about having played (and continuing to play) Control is that The Oldest House in that game is modeled on a memory palace, and can operate that way personally.

can’t tell if four tet is spiritually awakening EDM bros or if they’re pulling him down into the muck or both or neither

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr I saw four tet live maybe 12 years ago and went into a music-induced trance and until reading this could not understand why EDM broadly did not on the spot become my “thing”

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr it’s hard to know what counts.

Trying to piece this together, it seems like if I like something I call it “Electronic” and if I don’t it’s EDM.

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr iTunes is classifying some Bjork as “Electronic - Dance,” which I guess is literally true and also a small mercy they don’t call her EDM directly.

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr This is taking on some of the character of a logical proof for God’s existence

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr Bjork and St. Vincent both lived in Brooklyn at the same time and at the peak of their powers and I’ll never recover from that proximity.

Feel free to watch movies of the ACTUAL DYSTOPIAN PAST about WWII to see your future.

@StillIRise1963 I’m getting more WWI vibes atm. Old statesmen behaving like morons, odd blocks of overlapping interests becoming vicious opponents, people treated like meat.

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@StillIRise1963 that seems more likely, plus a bunch of new hopes and horrors.

Oh you mean there’s an alternative that doesn’t treat your students like morons and violent criminals?

Generally speaking, people peacefully protesting one genocide are not simultaneously suggesting a replacement genocide. https://mastodon.social/@mattsheffield/112366576807601174

The only thing I display on my Safari start page is iCloud tabs, but I still have to use the dropdown menu to select between my other devices. 😕

@agiletortoise I’ve got a similarly basic bug with Finder these days. I can’t remember basic stuff like this breaking in the past.

what i want: official snes emulator for switch with rom store containing the entire catalog. and also that for all the consoles

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@exchgr given how some of these official emulators have gone, they’re probably no more faithful than open source emulators, and sometimes are those.

people have all kinds of fantasies about what non-profit boards actually do. the answer is “it depends” but for most of them is not “get to say what the staff does”

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@lzg A decade-ish of non-profit work made me pretty cynical about it. There’s always a rich person or rich people or rich companies at the end of the line.

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@lzg yeah, definitionally I guess.

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@lzg However what they don’t get enough credit for is they attract some of the low key strangest people as employees. True blue weirdos.

I don’t miss the orgs but I miss non-profit people.
