@eniko I adored Tunic. I wish I could somehow forget everything I know about it and play it again for the first time!

Updated Chrome today, and was immediately given a prompt about how my browsing preferences would be directly used to feed me ads.

Chrome auto-enabled a feature that sends sites info to send me personalized ads based on browsing history, the ability for sites to determine what I like and update the ads as I browse, and the ability for sites to measure ad effectiveness.

These are built-in features of the browser now.

STOP USING CHROME

Every #NYT story lately.

I have no idea where this image originated and take no credit.

@Nifflas The Yakuza games started doing this too, during regular encounters. If you take out the guy who instigated the fight, the guys left will start to panic without their boss, and sometimes just straight up run away from the fight. If you leave one on the outside of the group by themselves for too long they might take the opportunity to get their phone out to call for backup. It’s a nice extra dimension to what can sometimes become a repetitive game loop.

the Internet is not a library. it is just computers screaming forever and hoping to be seen. the Internet is ephemeral oral tradition performed by machines. the Internet is a verb stuffed into a poorly-fitting “noun” suit

@catgirlfingies I never had a PSP, and I only got into the series a couple of years ago, so that’ll explain why I don’t know about them! I might see if I can figure out some way to play them that doesn’t involve hunting down the physical media!

@jenn I got called up for jury duty a few years ago. I managed to get out of it because of my ADHD. Basically just told them (truthfully) that I’d struggle to pay attention to the whole deal. Didn’t think it would work, but they decided to uninvite me in the end!

@catgirlfingies aim currently working my way through the Yakuza series again. Currently working my way through the fifth one, which feels like a slog the second time round! Never even heard of the one you’re playing though! Is it any good?
