  • I got a free three month trial for Google’s AI Pro plan, and Google wouldn’t shut up about the fact that I had the offer waiting, so I gave it a shot. It’s been more annoying than anything else. Gemini made me feel icky when I tried it, and now I get irritating popups asking me to use an AI tool every single time I go to type something in a Doc or Sheet

    My brother in Christ, I am misusing Google Sheets to plan my character builds in Final Fantasy Tactics. I have entered all the information in the sheet by hand, and it is mostly text. This information cannot be put into a graph of any kind. I do not need your help with anything.

    The original GDQ event took place starting 1 January 2010, and was called Classic Games Done Quick. Its capstone game was Final Fantasy VI, which was released on 11 October 1994 in North America. So FFVI was a little over 13 years old when CGDQ happened.

    SGDQ2025 took place starting 6 July of this year. That means GDQ events have been going on for 15.5 years, and the event is older than some of the “classic” games from CGDQ were at the time of that original event.

    If SGDQ2025 had wanted to use a Final Fantasy game as its capstone, the game of comparable age as FFVI was during CGDQ would have been FFXIII-2, which released on 31 January 2012 in North America.



  • Hey, you hacks writing this: there is no massive flow of drugs going from Canada to the USA. Stop letting the orange rapist get away with this lie.

    Here’s my original post again. I bolded the key part: it’s Trump telling the lie, and the news organizations are credulously repeating it.

    This same article doesn’t provide any pushback to this claim until much later in the article, and then it only says that, “Carney said Canada accounts for only about 1% of fentanyl imports into the US,” instead of calling it what it is: a lie.

    This is what has my onions cheesed: that major news outlets are uncritically repeating all the fetid slop that spews from Trump’s mouth. Another example was the ‘Governor Trudeau’ bit from a few months ago, where I saw one clip of a gormless CNN anchor nod their empty head and chuckle as Trump’s lapdog displayed the most wanton disregard for civility and the truth.
