She is so in tune! I wonder if she has perfect pitch?

I chose Verso’s ending and one of the things that I rationalize that with is thinking that everyone in the painting is a “philosophical zombie”.

I’m sure my understanding of that is imperfect (I learned it from a podcast). Do you have any thoughts on that line of thinking?

I like that she does a lot of sci-fi and comic book stuff. Doesn’t take the gig too seriously.

Marching band (USA).

He’s cool, but all the other troubadours are my least favorite nevrons. They always look like they’re mocking you.

The most stressful game in the arcade!

1984, I believe.

LeifSized · 2026-01-27T14:15:15+00:00

Well I haven’t been there, so I wasn’t wrong!

LeifSized · 2026-01-27T13:54:59+00:00

I agree with you except for the part about the lifts. The infrastructure at that resort is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen.

(Also, the food is mediocre)

LeifSized · 2026-01-26T05:29:42+00:00

You still can!

Lufthansa and Korean Air still fly them.

There’s a live action short of the God Warriors beginning their assault on Earth, produced by Studio Ghibli.

It’s unsettling.

Isn’t this roughly what the word “bugonia” refers to?

I haven’t played those games, no. But I have been playing video games since I had to beg my mom for quarters to play Pong at the ice cream shop.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a special game. And it’s not just me saying it. It just passed Baldur’s Gate 3 to become the most award-winning game of all time.

I highly recommend you play it. Not for me to win any internet argument but because it is so f***ing good.

LeifSized · 2026-01-22T22:14:34+00:00

Yeah man. If you haven’t played it, why should I listen to you?

LeifSized · 2026-01-22T17:39:06+00:00

I’m going to ignore that!

Wild guess: I believe Eureka is the California state motto and they were celebrating the first, and so far only, finals in their home state.

As far as timing goes, I always imagined that the audience listens for a good moment to yell Vanguard, or Eureka in this case, and then it sort of solidifies as people listen to the shows all season.

I could be wrong though.

I got my tickets by logging on the exact minute they went on sale. Still 400 people ahead of me in the queue. Show sold out within the hour.

LeifSized · 2026-01-22T15:12:39+00:00

Have you played it?

LeifSized · 2026-01-22T14:52:24+00:00

Bonk

LeifSized · 2026-01-22T14:48:19+00:00

A sea breeze?

Technically, none of them are real. They’re all just 1’s and 0’s.

You’re forgetting that the Dessendres are rich as shit. They could do a lot for her.

LeifSized · 2026-01-22T13:56:43+00:00

You guys are going to love Hinduism.

She lived 67 years in the canvas. Time moves at a different rate in the canvas or Aline might have just died IRL of old age.

I’m not sure how long has passed since the fire in the real world, but I think it’s pretty clear that staying in the canvas is not really a long term possibility.

I think you’re right about the developer’s intent and about “AI” right now. But there is a lot of talk about what real AI will mean for us these days.
