Oh Tremors is a great idea! And I've been debating whether to watch John Dies at the End because I love the books and wasn't sure if the movie would be as good. Will add that to the list. Thanks!
I'm doing a month-long series of campy, classic and unique horror movies. I'm pretty liberal in what gets included, trying for a lot of variety. I'm particularly a fan of spooky comedies (like the Burbs), and generally avoiding big franchise horror series to see more unique stuff. I'm enjoying seeing so many movies I would never come across any other way, even if many of them aren't all that great. So far my favorite is probably Cabin in the Woods or Happy Death Day. Anything I should add to the list? Watched (in order) The Burbs Batman Death Becomes Her Slotherhouse Cabin in the Woods Happy Death Day Llamageddon The Thing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies The Final Girls Attack of the Killer Donuts Drag Me to Hell Ernest Scared Stupid Final Girl Killer Sofa Coming up (no particular order) We have a ghost The Babysitter Antebellum The Fly Little Monsters Rocky Horror Picture Show Last Night in Soho The Mousetrap Hell Baby Get Out Us Happy Death Day 2U Leprechaun The Cult of Humpty Dumpty Prom Night Killer Klowns From Outer Space Lisa Frankenstein Becky Cinderella's Revenge Saturday the 14th The Monster Squad Severance

Yes it is! It's a ridiculously cute game. I took my time with it and just enjoyed knocking pots off shelves and catching birds. If you're a gamer and cat lover it's a good buy.

Reminds me of whose line is it anyway games where one person would put their hands behind their back and another person would use their hands to act out the scene. These suits have the arms and shoulders positioned similarly. They look really uncomfortable.

The timeline is absolutely ridiculous considering the scale at which Google play operates. However I otherwise don't feel a bit sorry for them. It's probably a foreign experience to most of the Google team to have a competitive challenge and if they are up to it they'll be fine. If not, I guess that's the free market at work...
(Also, is it Epics entire business model to just sue their way into relevance? I'm happy to see the big tech firms squeal but seriously it's like Epic wants their entire brand to be about suing competitors.)

Okay, but saying we are doing one dumb thing but justifying it by saying 'well we already are doing these other dumb/horrible things guess the whole system is broken' is simply giving up on the whole concept of organized government.
There is no government anywhere in the world, now or any time in history, that has done everything perfectly. But individual improvements to human rights and protections get us closer than just throwing ones hands up when it isn't perfect out of the gate.
We still fight stupid ideas like basically everything JD Vance has ever said because those ideas move us in the wrong direction. Defeating his idiocy doesn't make everything else perfect but it sure as hell keeps it from getting worse, and hopefully makes it easier to make more positive changes in the future.

Tmobile does it as a service but it's a paid one and inconsistent in accuracy. I had it for free as part of a plan for a while and told them no thanks to an additional charge. Not sure it's worth paying $5/month.

This is right on the line of creepy surveillance and interesting public art project. I kind of like the idea but not a fan of the fact that it's recording in stealth. I wish it were more transparent about it. Most people wouldn't care anyway and it removes some of the discomfort of listening in on a bunch of strangers.

Yep, happened to Arcane Austin. Redfall was a disaster because Bethesda couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Arcane made (awesome) single player games and not MMOs. Hopefully history won't repeat itself.

A part of me thinks that some of this is deliberate- like once it was clear he was going to have to follow up with the twitter deal the places/people that funded him did so on the condition that he tank it.
I know that's insane but I really am struggling to see how anyone could commit this many public fuckups unintentionally.

It blows my mind to see so many leaders so nonchalant about genocide.

Wow wtf. Their apology doesn't even hint at one of the biggest problems in the question, that people shouldn't be aspiring to become "better" AI-generated versions of themselves. What kind of dick asks people to even consider that?

It also sucks for the hiring manager who has to interview candidates they know they won't hire just to stick to the process. It's a waste of everyone's time.

Hey, you all gave it your best shot, but it looks like it’s a little harder than you thought to run a candidate who won’t be a national fucking disgrace, doesn’t it?” >
It's unfortunate that this rings true to many cities.

From the wiki article :
Perelman resigned from his research post in Steklov Institute of Mathematics and in 2006 stated that he had quit professional mathematics, owing to feeling disappointed over the ethical standards in the field. >
Anybody have any idea what the ethical standards might be that he's referring to? Not sure if there's a scandal or something or just an overall sense of displeasure with the field.

It's hard to believe that Annapurna leadership (and Ellison specifically) are surprised by this. It reads like Ellison is known for backing out of deals or simply not honoring them. Why should the staff believe she would honor a spinoff deal?
Hope the team is able to get something off the ground.

I agree with other replies here with one addition. People who get into grad school are generally the high achievers from their high school and undergrad programs, so they are used to being the only or one of few star students. In PhD programs everyone is a star student, so it can be a bit jarring to folks used to being head of the class when they suddenly aren't.
It can cause a bit of jealousy and competitive thinking but most of the time students get past it and focus simply on enduring the gauntlet.

I know October kind of implies this but I'd add Halloween to this group.

The article doesn't specify, but what kind of 'activity on adult websites' is damaging to the point that a candidate would be pressed to drop out?

This is nice and all, but I don't know that it means a whole lot. There are few stakes for the people coming out to endorse Harris now. They don't work in govt roles, hold position in a political organization or an elected office.
The rank and file GOP (who are running for reelection now or in 2-4 years) are still sticking to the party line and the approved narrative. When they start flipping then it will be real news.

It's of course troubling that AI images will go unidentified through this service (I am also not at all confident that Google can do this well/consistently).
However I'm also worried about the opposite side of this problem- real images being mislabeled as AI. I can see a lot of bad actors using that to discredit legitimate news sources or stories that don't fit their narrative.
Finally some good news on a studio closure. So glad for the team at Tango they found someone to take them on.
If you haven't watched the olympic break dancing competition, do yourself a favor and check it out. The woman competing for Australia might be the best thing I've seen so far.
Left the original title from the article for consistency, but article suggests that they may not be shutting down and are instead restructuring. 36 employees were laid off.
Curious about y'alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze money out of us.
cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/21185511 > TLDR: A coffee factory has recalled coffees they produce under many other labels due to botulinum toxins. LOTS of coffee companies are on this list so it's worth a look even if you don't drink Kaldi's. You can toss or return coffee for a refund. > > > It's a little unclear, but the article makes it sound like the Kaldis classic black and all the others are the same coffee, just repackaged coffee for each brand. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I thought I was buying local when I bought their stuff. I'm a little disappointed.

Thought you all might find this interesting. I like this artist, but can imagine seeing oneself portrayed this way could be jarring.
So excited to consolidate my mess of drives and get a big boost to my storage.
