dude, this is really scary, and liminal as well. It's like the bathrooms

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

You know, normally I'm strongly of the opinion that everything that's needed to solve puzzles in games – even optional or post-game puzzles – should be contained within the actual gameplay, and have little tolerance for stuff that wants you to, like, scan a QR code to get a secret Discord link for clues or whatnot, but I'm giving Animal Well a pass because "office printer which, when interacted with, sends a print job to your actual, physical printer, producing an origami diagram which must be correctly folded to yield a password" is extremely funny.

at the point and click adventure club straight up unsure what to do next

Goin' up to a girl like "She doesn't want to talk to me right now. She doesn't want to- She doe- She doesn't want to talk to me right no- That's the bartender, but I think I've had enough for toni- I can't leave, the party's just getting started!"

I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called “Electronic Life: How to Think About Computers,” which was published in I think 1975? I’ve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and it’s lowkey fascinating

There’s a whole paragraph that’s like “okay, find the keyboard. Don’t panic if it has more keys than a typewriter, that’s normal. Really, it’s fine. The extra keys don’t make things harder. It’s FINE”

Somebody in 1975 had a better understanding of why artificial intelligence is not in any way “intelligence” than the majority of today’s intellectual minds.
