  • I have 100% called in sick from another state just as my friends and I were about to get on a gondola to go up to the top of a mountain.

    I was on the phone saying I felt terrible when “NEXT CAR ARRIVING” or something similar blared over a loudspeaker.

    “What was that?” they asked. “Oh, just the tv. fake cough






  • So I ran into my first genAI coding junk yesterday when I was on a call with my boss and as a solution to a problem we were talking he said, “hold on let me ask Gemini.”

    I felt my soul die a little bit at that point.

    But the fun part is that Gemini first didn’t provide a good answer.

    And then on the second go it also didn’t provide a good answer.

    And then on the third attempt we decided to table the issue for the moment because prompt coding on a call was taking longer than I think he expected.

    I really disliked that experience.





  • I’m actually curious if any of the reviews talked about the kind of atrocious pop-in this game has - at least in the main castle town you start out in in the demo.

    I’m not a “graphics above everything” kinda guy, but when walking through that town you see all kinds of characters pop in at such a short distance it’s jarring - as if it was a 3D Pokemon game (not you, Pokopia, you are perfect).

    I tried the demo first on my Switch 2 and saw this behavior. I assumed maybe they had to scale the game back some for the console. But then tried it on PS5 and it was the same.
