.@zebratron2084 In light of our past conversation about word games in non-Latin scripts, I know you'll find this of interest, about exactly that: http://ilovetypography.com/2017/07/24/endangered-alphabets/

It's a kobold testing out nostalgic game hardware. Period.

Hey, folks. Do you like fully-automated luxury gay space communism? Well, now you can spread the word without saying a word. Check out this design @ElectricKeet put together: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/entoptickey/falgsc-A108826071 You can put it on your body, or wherever you like.
Can I just say, that i have NEVER been scared of AIs or computers in general. Never. It's always the humans that are the worst part and the weakest link in any system. Computers just do what they're told and trained to do. Humans, on the other hand, can go through all kinds of socialization and training and schooling and still say "no, i think you aren't a person worthy of respect and dignity" Seriously. Was getting taught in kindergarten how to fucking share something new after 1984?

There should be an app out there that refuses to let you view any sort of news, social media site, or financial services website without first answering these 3 questions:
1) Have you showered?
2) Have you eaten?
3) Have you gotten at least 6 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours?
Seriously would install this app in a hot second.

Yesterday, I added DOOM (2016) to the ol' Steam shopping cart, but I also wanted something that would... balance it out? Something more relaxed, that I could play while sitting in bed, that wouldn't hype me up or splatter the screen quite so much. So I added Undertale to the cart.
I keep imagining an anthropomorphised recommendations algorithm looking back and forth from one to the other in confusion. "What do you _want_ from me?"
Good games, friendly li'l algorithm. I just want good games.
If you ever wondered "how did our (Western) calendar get this way?" and/or "why did Julius Caesar name a month after himself?", wonder no more: https://pastebin.com/rFM0XcLP (2- to 3-minute read, slight swearing)
TIL that if Firefox (or, in this case, a third-party build thereof) pops up the session restore page on launch and you accidentally tap the "close" button instead of "restore", it chucks out the session and turns off the "open previous session" option, meaning those tabs are just plain _gone._
Thanks, Firefox.
