Norco, the point-and-click adventure game that came out a few years back set in like, cyberpunk south Louisiana, is named after and very much based on the area I grew up in.
Norco, Louisiana is a real place whose name is an initialism of New Orleans Refining Company.
I chatted with the dev a bit after it came out. They seem like cool people.
It’s weird seeing a place from real life that you recognize intimately in a video game.
I would love there to be a Washington Anti-Pope to counter the Bishop of Rome who was born in Chicago.
He has only fired women, as far as I can tell, which is pretty funny.
Not in my blue state, because the utilities lobbied against it.
He’s just this term’s Sinema/Manchin. The Dems always need a guy to take the heat for voting for the shit they want but their voters don’t.
Anti-choicers will simultaneously tell you that you don’t need an abortion, you can just put your baby up for adoption and then do this shit.
Another $50bn for Israel!
Dead in committee.
Washington session is over for the year.
The road could still be blown the fuck up, making the route essentially impassible to heavily-laden trucks.
Sorcerer (1977)
currently only available to Kickstarter backers, but the last game from this studio (Jalopy) was pretty good
Part of my job is overseeing and reviewing submissions to our open source repo.
I have started getting AI submissions and they are absolute dog shit and they make me so mad.
I complained to the people who run the intake pipeline for the submissions and they’re like “what if you added documentation for the AI to read to the codebase so it wouldn’t make these mistakes?”
It’s just maddening to think about how little respect for what I do these vibe coders have that they won’t spend any of their human attention on the submissions, but fully expect me to use mine to clean up after them.
I’m very smug about not using Twitter.
I simply wouldn’t be on the pedophile app, but I’m built different.

This just seems like misogyny?
It’s also on Game Pass, which depresses Steam numbers.
I finished it on Friday and was thoroughly whelmed, but I’m very happy it exists.
David Letterman?
