I would also recommend Night in the Woods, it was a big inspiration for the 'gameplay' of Pentiment. mostly just walking through a world, talking to people with some minor minigames thrown in.

Yeah I love Alpha Protocol, did you see the remaster they put out (DRM free!) on GoG last year, for me it was honestly one of the most exciting things that happened in gaming last year. https://youtu.be/UBXbrofwKwM

It's so impressive, similarly I also love the game Pentiment by Obsidian, some incredibly complex branching conversations in there. I recently watched a video where the game director Josh Sawyer (of fallout new vegas fame) walks throug

We all do know that doctors do have to go through a whole residency phase in their training where they spend a lot of time with sick people and work under the supervision of more experienced doctors, gaining personal experience with the f

amazing blog, both in content and presentation. Love it when articles give you controls to play with. Gives me hope for the future of the web. the NeoTokyo mention reveals great taste.

there is this study that shows bumblebees exhibit behaviour that looks a lot like what we would call playing, seems to serve no purpose except being enjoyable. My sorta crank belief is that we are massively underestimating the intelligence

With the amount of comments calling for a leadership change my tinfoilhat theory is that this is a concerted effort to get a leadership change.

Illegal archiving seems to be the only way forward, for example making a personal archive you can share with family and friends, and supporting bigger efforts like library genesis and anna's archive are the only way we can ensure that

Learned about this book last year when I saw it in the bibliography[0] in the credits of the game Pentiment (2022) (amazing game if you are interested in history btw). I keep hoping to eventually stumble upon it in a second hand bookshop. 0

I'm currently reading theMystery.doc by Matthew McIntosh [1] which also fits this category. It's full of transcripts of calls, frames of film, email threads, redacted pages, news articles. Highly recommend it, it's so nice to

Aha, that makes sense, I was wracking my brain as to how 0110 was unambiguous.

I'm definitely mostly without inner voice but I can drop down to it if I want to. I also have this with reading. normally it seems it skips the internal voice and goes straight from image to thought. but once I start verbalising it, it

Well it's a totally different category of thing (in multiple ways) so I can't imagine people getting confused about this.

Great write-up, This matches my experience exactly, but I've never been able to put it into words this well. The different ways in which people brains work differently from each other is so interesting to me. feels like there is a set

It really feels analogous to overfishing or deforestation, where it's very profitable at the moment for whoever is doing the harvesting but then ruins the resource for anyone in the future.

Not worried, I trust in my taste. I still haven't seen anything made by AI that moved me. I'm buying physical books written before AI was a thing, backing up music and film. Visiting concerts and museums. The information and exper

Some hardware synths* allow the user to change the scale so if you hook those up tidal over midi, you can do non-standard scales without having to do it in tidal itself. *The Korg Monologue & Korg Wavestate both have this feature

Not sure if it counts a 100% as Weird Youtube, but Bill Wurtz music is my favourite weird stuff on there (because it's also actually interesting musically). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elizAugXVcI

Did you try playing with the FOV settings?, I've heard from other people with similar problems that increasing them can help a lot.
