Might be looking at a replacement for the Guzzi after 8 years. Might be nice to go electric if I can find a dealer with the less expensive electric bikes.
You also meet characters who are former band mates with each other and help them get the band back together!
I'm an extra in this! It was really cool to go and help make a queer film for a day.

To whoever came up with the new W11 lock screen settings update:
No, no. Do not make the "Weather" do the heavy lifting for the "Weather and more" stuff. I want the "weather". if the "and more" can't stand on its own, let it die on its own.
There are songs in this game in the form of cassette tapes you pick up and can listen to as a character, but also this album has all the score tracks that play for environmental moments like boss fights and flashbacks:

Sounds like someone needs a box of tissues, comfort food, and time to have the most emotionally agonizing watch party in history!
It's not as emotionally devastating as Grave of the Fireflies, if that helps?
I don't think we've started hiring again since the layoffs just before Christmas. I just feel incredibly lucky to be here right now.
And to eliminate any confusion: My day job is working at Wonderstorm on The Dragon Prince: Xadia, a joyous, multiplayer ARPG, and you can see the teaser trailer for that here:

Whenever I mention how much I love/appreciate "Requiem For a Dream" and how many times I've seen it, people instantly get worried.
Unrelated, I've been working on a currently solo game project that's intended to be an examination of how one continues on during constant loss and tragedy.
Gif or image of a movie you're sure you've seen more than 10 times.

Yes, because you aren't copying, since you're not generating an image, thus you are not copying and publishing someone else's work. The alt text description would come from assembling descriptive words used most statistically often to describe blobs of pixel values.
Yes. This is actually an extremely useful application for machine learning. Image recognition is an area where it's actually beneficial, and in many fields too!
I don't like many of them but I like people talking about things I'm interested in. This includes radio plays, like the Sojourn, which is on Nebula.
I really made a splash.
I made an entire achievement about a cub info-dumping on you! IT'S A SCAVENGER HUNT, DAN!

Okay, it's more or less decided that I'm going to be doing panda stuff again tomorrow...
But do I do Monk...
Or do I listen to this voice inside me telling me to go Rogue...
Realized it's been over a year since I left WoW and almost a year since I joined Wonderstorm, and it sure has been quite a year.
Just yesterday she could only idle after getting off her motorcycle and now she's taking her first steps!

New DnD chucks arrived.
Time to lace them up and go for a

Critical stroll.
My phone still doesn't understand that I want to talk about hyenas and not a paste used to stain designs onto skin.
AAAAH! I feel like my third eye has opened or something! I have a lot to do to fully transition through these game states properly, also build a walk cycle and script movement! But I have an entry point for dismounting and walking around! I'm so excited!

Me: I haven't been working on the side project that long, I just started it in...

December...
Me:
NGL, I pulled my Savi's workshop lightsaber out and put new batteries in so I could swing it around.
The level of nerd I hit tonight was rolling back from my desk to my bookshelf to grab two books to look up and fact check something that seemed erroneous on Wikipedia...for the purpose of writing a deity drawing inspiration from historical sources for my Champion in a Pathfinder campaign.
The whole game had me cosntantly wanting to keep going. It was definitely hard to put down.
The ending sequence to Jedi: Fallen Order was a real nice capper. Came in at the perfect time, had these wonderful moments of, "Maybe I can, maybe I--NOPE, OH FUCK--Oh, thank god! I'm home free--OH SHIT" going on throughout it.
Also, glad to have another game knocked off my backlog.
And just let the players get away with murder?! Oh, no. I'm doubling their power now. Tripling it if anyone named "Lythi" is on the team.
Being a combat designer that makes both player and enemy abilities is just continuously sighing and saying, "I did this to myself."
Oh, neat:

store.steampowered.comFirst of all, this question presupposes that I think any organization is benefiting from hot garbage LLM software parading as A.I.
He's done a roguelike before! He did the GoW:Ragnarok DLC. Failure, death, and restarting are similar to how Hades does it, and Hades is very clear about how going through again is part of the narrative.
I've never seen such chaos as a therapist, who never save scums or goes back for alternate endings, streaming Stanely Parable for the first time, getting to the "end", and then saying, "Well, I'm satisfied. The run is the run."
AND STOPPING.
Twitch chat had PITCHFORKS.
You've seen me do these ramps before. This is another pass at them to do them in a new way and fix bugs, with a behind-the-scenes glimpse as well. I haven't run into bugs, but implementation is more manual now, which is a fine trade off.
Any progress is good progress!

That's parasailing.
Parasocial is a duck billed dinosaur with a long crest that extends from the back of its head.
That's a parabola. Parasocial is when you're up in the air, being towed by a boat.
It's a T&T Roll from a nearby sushi restaurant. Not TNT. T&T.
At first I thought they had some breed of unusually spicy jalapenos, because that was a topping...But it was really the sauce. It just had a very intense, unforgiving oil.
For SoCal friends who understand: I've had a 7 at CoCo Ichibanya, and it does NOT COMPARE to the burn I feel right now!
