This has been an issue since long before LLMs. Before the AI summary box, scammers used targeted ads to place ahead of the actual company you were searching for.

There used to be a Twitter account called The Strange Log which regularly posted things like this. Looks like it’s inactive now, though.

If you’re a gamer then I’d strongly recommend you get a playlist of bangers from your favourite games. They tend to be high energy, low on distracting lyrics, and if you’ve played the game any amount then they’ve might have gotten associated with a “locked in” brain state so you feel like whatever task you’re achieving is analogous to gaming.

My playlist has tracks from Streets of Rage 2, Golden Sun, Pokémon, Smash Bros and Super Hexagon amongst others.

Sorry to get you excited. If it’s any help, they do absolutely leave it open to return after the book time skip, they included a load of stuff that only makes sense in context of the last books.

I’d definitely give it a try! The concept is strong enough to be that I’d even consider a full reboot, although my dream is another soft reboot where the canon is left intact and we just follow a new set of main characters, and our old favourites might pop up occasionally. Having seen Amazon do great stuff with the tail end of The Expanse I think they have the chops to make it work.

I’d heard lava tubes pitched as one of the more straightforward ways of building a moon base, fascinating to learn that this would actually be a return to form for human dwellings.

Humans: we just like living in lava tubes.

They were pretty direct remakes with a few new bugs and a controversial art style. I was never a big DPP fan and the remakes failed to change my mind.

I do think any future remakes will be different though, i vaguely remember a story about ILCA who made BDSP and I don’t think they exist in the same form as they did when developing the game.

There’s a lot of potential options. Gen V remakes are next on the main series remake list. Let’s Go and Legends were both sort-of-mainline-ish games that would be about right for a sequel. I’m betting there’s still more DLC for SV. And wasn’t there a rumour about another Detective Pikachu movie?

Hoplite maybe? It’s on mobile but is a lot of fun.

I set up a play-money prediction market on whether this would happen, and it doesn’t look like many people have faith in Musk to pull this one off.

You are aware of the British slang word “muffed”, right?

I’ve not finished it yet due to limited gaming time but it’s clearly not that long. It feels like it should have some replayability but I don’t think it’s very unreasonably priced. Probably not ideal if you’re looking to squeeze every hour of entertainment out of your dollar though.

Terra Nil is mentioned in the article but I must give it a recommendation, it’s very chill and restoring a wasteland or ruined city to a thriving ecosystem is a great counterpoint to building a bustling city.

Posting this just because I think it’s a neat little short and the few seconds from 0:50 onwards look like a Ray Harryhausen movie which is cool if that’s the intention. Never thought of Scovillain as scary before.

I’m with you, I’m a big nerd but rarely bounced so hard off a sci-fi show as I bounced off Fringe.

Ooh, I wonder ever you get if you fight Mewtwo with Mew. This is only the third Mew I’ve ever owned, and I’ve never trained one before because they felt too precious to sully with battles.

I never really had strong feelings for fighting types, I really like Heracross since gen 2 but even that wasn’ta top favourite. That’s all changed in the last couple of years though, I think Gapdos is great take on a classic, Iron Hands is a competitive monster, and Quaquaval is one of the most fun starters in a while.

I had a second gen one, and it suffered less than the first, but definitely did suffer as it aged.

I loved mine, but sitting a year or two the flash memory had degraded to the point it was completely unusable, even just as a digital photo frame.

The small tablet market is still underserved today, I’m running an iPad mini, which is great, but it’s definitely a second-class citizen compared to the bigger iPads.

I love how Viking-rune-looking it is. Everything old is new again.
