I'm blown away by the soundtrack to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

@j12t My guess is that they're trying to avoid associations with "the web is broken."

My strongest recommendation for Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. The first game I've had the desire to see all the way through in some time. 10/10. If you loved Hollow Knight, Lost Crown is a must-play.

We ended up taking home gold at the Lake Tahoe Epic Curling Spring Bonspiel! Fun to play against lots of old friends from California with new friends from Colorado. #tootspiel

Had a great time this weekend at the Green & Gold Open, Rock Creek's big annual bonspiel. I got back together with friends from California for the third year in a row (with a slightly modified cast this year) and took home the B Event win. #tootspiel

In the 15+ years people have been promoting blockchains, this flowchart remains undefeated.

Why do curling rocks…curl? The fascinating physics behind a century-old game
Since the first curling rock curved around the first guard, there have been questions about the strange physics that give the game its name. Why exactly does a curling rock curl, instead of sliding in a straight line? The CBC’s “Physics Fella,” Joe Gerard, is here with an answer, and you won’t need to know math (or curling) to understand it.

There are two kitchen clocks. One tells the correct time, the other lies. You may ask three questions.

@briandau I'm everywhere out there this week. 🙂 You probably caught me trying to figure out the timing on my post-game Learn to Curls.

#TeamCarle ended the weekend 4-2 with a 7th event win at the St. Paul Winter Carnival. 3 wins on Sunday was a nice way to end the event. Would have been a different event number if we hadn't run into the eventual champions early, but I'm delighted to get an event win. #TootSpiel

#TeamCarle is 1-0 at the St. Paul Winter Carnival Mixed Spiel. Fun crowd here! A nice break from the tour doubles grind.

It’s not surprising that a society that values confidence more than competence would become excited by machines that generate text that sounds confident and is entirely wrong.

@Ponddrop Nice! Does your club do instructors for rentals or did you do all the teaching yourself?

My most deeply felt curmudgeonly belief is that I cannot stand mobile robots in public human spaces. There's a dish collecting robot thing in this United Club that is a hazard to people and dishes while accomplishing nothing.
