I just spent like 10+ hours on a last ditch effort to make our Introduction to Data Sci group project work, I was in charge of the presentation design so after I see the graphs and code I notice we are going to fail miserably if we present that group project, anyways, we solved it, but I have a bad headache and an exam tomorrow, wish me luck

one of my side hobbies that i occasionally lose an afternoon to is scouring the internet for vintage, slice of life style comics where I can get incredibly specific glimpses into life from decades ago, right? i like my W K Haselden, my George Macmanus, my Tim Barela.

I was recently browsing through some archival Gerard Donelan and I found this series of comics someone archived from the Advocate, from July of '79. I'm FASCINATED by the animal comparisons, since the only modern day analog that's stayed entirely intact seems to be bears:

there is some archetypal stuff/stereotype that's pulled through to this day but I'm fascinated by how the economic and cultural bleed of 1970s america vs today has wholly affected the ability for these archetypes to sustain themselves

I remember how everyone laughed at this tweet, and although I like DE in all its dramatic and depressive glory, as well as many other such games, I really don't understand the amount of contempt for sweet, cozy, relaxing ones. It's true: they rarely get DE's level of world development, psychology and writing. But that's the point: they, too, deserve it! And I sympathized with the OP's desire for something like this, because even while I enjoy exploring dark worlds and heart-wrenching stories, there is also a big need for ones that would ease anxiety and pain instead of just endlessly resonating with it. Especially at the end of a hard day or when everything seems too bleak to add fictional bleakness on top of it.

That's why I'm curious about Mandrake, FBG's new game. I admire – and trust – their narrative skills, seriousness and diligence. It's certainly doesn't look like their usual stuff; however, the promise of mysteries, deep characters and folklore is what I can totally believe when it comes to them, so it's bound to be much more than an average game of this cutesy kind.

Of course, some part of me will still expect a sudden glimpse or The Path-style full shift to surreal horror at any moment (and I would be delighted), but it's alright if there won't be one.

Gosh.

Must be rough for them.

the thing about every post that discusses how women being expected to remove their body hair is bullshit is that the post then gets a bunch of well-meaning but very wrong replies that are like "yeah!! shaving was invented by Big Razor in the 20th century! no women ever removed any body hair before that!" and it's like. okay. well that's blatantly very untrue but now I'm going to look like the asshole if I point that out

absolutely love this post on the broadway subreddit

and my favourite comment:

[argentinianidiota]

also also: you made your quirky post about how its sooo easy to spot an AI while giving a perfect example of a human talking like one

"this is DEFINITELY written by AI, I can tell because it uses the writing quirks that AI uses (because it was trained on real people who write with those quirks)"

c'mon dudes we have got to do better than this
