@foone the wiki for Blaseball had a few of these, sorta. Loading random variations of trivia bits, etc, like how this player (literally a castle) ran the bases: https://www.blaseball.wiki/w/Sigmund_Castillo#Trivia

@futurebird @mark I remember straight-up developing a lifelong case of thalassophobia from one illustration of a dunkleosteus in James Gurney's Dinotopia books, and I'm so glad now that child-me never considered the sound... this tanky lad terrified me lol.

@futurebird @andytiedye I work in tech and increasingly feel like an old man telling at cloud, with so many directives to use AI for everything. Got an email from IT saying my Copilot subscription was about to be reclaimed and I nearly wept for joy lol

@futurebird *raucous applause*Praying for a timeline where Democrats can muster a tenth of that charisma and spine. Bravo.

@futurebird @SrRochardBunson Hawley sucks ass, speaking as someone whose whole family fled Missouri over "leaders" like him (and a comically toothless state Dem party).Stopped clocks something something twice a day. The man has no actual guiding principles beyond what will keep him in with the mythical base, but yeah I'll agree with him on this.

@futurebird oh no what's exploding with roblox now? The endless churn of microtransactions?The unsustainable cycle of milking underage devs for the next slop hit?The total lack of functional moderation that lets the worst people run around unchecked? People Make Games have done some really good journalism on those points, but I would believe it if a brand new horror has emerged on every parent's least favorite FNAF Clone Marketplace.

@futurebird on the one hand, I applaud this young proto-Batman, but yes it's criminal that the situation came to that at all. I constantly warn other parents, set a hard boundary with your kids about that garbage platform. Nothing good comes from it, unless you're a stockholder.

@futurebird the privacy can also make them safe havens, but yeah without meaningful safety tools/procedures the risks are significant. I should check back in on Neopets and see if they've made progress on their promised renaissance. That was the OG for chill and reasonably safe online spaces in my book, at least before the whole scientology thing.

@futurebird @JessTheUnstill all the age verification laws do is shut down companies who can't afford to comply. The giants can either do it easily, or have the heft to ignore it.Circumventing them is usually easy. Sometimes hilariously so: https://mashable.com/article/discord-uk-age-verification-death-stranding-hack

@futurebird "written in blood" is such a good way of describing those. Dark corollary to the rule of "if there's a sign, something happened that necessitated posting that sign, no matter how specific or weird."

@futurebird it's a pattern we've been repeating ever since the Second Great Awakening in the 1800s, and it saddens me that the same patterns keep repeating into today's charismatic douchenozzles.We literally wrote it in the history books as The Great Disappointment when those rapture promises came up empty, but we learned nothing.

@futurebird it's like one of those bad comic book covers with the "elaborately over-engineered sexy pose", like c'mon nobody actually carries their abdomen like that
