I'm always apprehensive when a company changes their recipe but I have to admit the paper goes down a lot easier.

The End of Oak Street is now my fourth favorite Jurassic Park movie

Deeply cursed

It's like instantiating one's lack of expertise as an invisible silo. The other day I saw a Steam disclosure that claimed "no assets or final content, just code assistance and translation, all human-reviewed" and offered translation in NINE LANGUAGES. Somehow I don't think they reviewed all nine.

Ps1 I'd offer a blind guess that it's Vagrant Story, but PS2 cracks open a much bigger field of contenders.

Oh no

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Systems designer: Playtesters didn't like feeling beholden to a to-do list, so I've left room for player-directed goals as well as emergent gameplay created by overlapping systems.

Booking.slop telling you to "get away" to a generated vacation spot is pretty choice, too.

In MHNow, if I want to hunt 5⭐s that consumes my available hunts till the next refresh. If I go down, either I wait an hour or use one of my 5/day potions. I don't even want the loot (which will be bad, it's only a 5⭐), I just want the practice. (The MHNow practice dummy doesn't attack, either.)

One thing that frustrates me so much about F2P games is the so frequent loss of unlimited play. I want to learn Long Sword. In Wilds, I picked a 5⭐ hunt and gave it a go, and worked my way up to a 9⭐. Failed one mission, had a couple carts, spent some time on the training dummy, overall successful.

Ugh, YouTube "dialect" is so weird.

@coil.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 5:55 PM

Update: a LOT more approachable in MHWilds vs MHNow.

Yeah I followed a goose once and it threatened my family. We had to move.* *correlation is not necessarily causation

@coil.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 5:51 PM

Nice work!

@coil.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 5:42 PM

THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING

@coil.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 5:42 PM

Yeah, "don't let them" was hyperbole. But certainly "supervise them", which I hope is pretty safe parenting advice even from someone without kids. And my post is definitely aimed/angry at YouTube/Google, not parents.

@both of you

A picture of a wooden fence post to which someone has added a crudely drawn stovepipe hat, angry eyes, and curled mustache. "THIS IS A BAD POST"

Hey quick question, what the fuck Also, please don't let your children use YouTube

A YouTube ad for "Free Online Kids Toy Videos 2+"

The AI-generated image shows four characters from Paw Patrol, sitting in a hospital waiting room, panicked and crying. All have alarmingly distended bellies, which are weirdly shiny like Christmas tree ornaments. In the foreground, a nurse dog smiles viciously while holding an enormous syringe.

Again, this is advertising "toy videos" for toddlers.
