@IceIceBrand0n @IGN You do realize that the early days of the game industry here in America were punk rock AF. Do you know the origin of id software? You should read the book Masters of Doom. Video games started off as counterculture. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@IGN Well that's what fucking happens when you cancel projects, acquire studios and then let them sit, and then layoff thousands of people. Consumers lose trust in your product. What a bunch of stupid corporate assholes. 🙄😮‍💨

#SFMuni is conducting fare enforcement on the 38 line today. They got on at 25th avenue as I was getting off. I saw the asshole who lied on a ticket before. He said I hadn't paid, but I had and I even showed him.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni are there delays with the 29 today? I've been waiting over ten minutes for a bus that was supposed to arrive in 6. Now it's not showing on the schedule. Next one is in 15 min now. I'm on Judah and sunset going northbound.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni I was about to cross the street when a 1x arrived at the terminal at 33td & Geary. I waved at the driver and he looked at me and nodded. He then turned the corner and stopped. He waited there as I was running across the street. As I approached, he took off. Why?!

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni FYI... This is the next day... The 1x blew past the stop again. They didn't even slow down. The sign didn't change from out of service either like it usually does so I may be mistaken.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni THE 1X CALIFORNIA BUS DIDN'T STOP AT THE 32RD AVENUE TERMINAL! They left everyone standing there!!! It's 7:40 am and everyone is commuting... What kind of service is this?!

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni I'm not sure where we are supposed to stand to get the bus to stop reliably here at 33rd and Geary. If I'm on the corner sometimes they keep going. Sometimes if I'm crossing the street and the driver looks right at me as they are turning, they'll stop. Idk🤷‍♂️

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni is there something going on with the 29 line lately? I've experienced a lot of instances where I plan to transfer to that line going northbound on sunset and the scheduled arrivals just don't arrive. I can't keep being late to work.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni I'm late for work because the 18 northbound bus never arrived. I was waiting on Judah for 15 minutes with it saying it was arriving soon. If there's a missing bus, it should be noted on the arrival time display or in the app.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni I just got off am 18 bus on 33rd and Geary with about 8 other people looking to transfer to the 1. We got off the bus and were waiting at the corner and the 1 started to leave. I waved and yelled, he looked at us, but kept going. I checked and he left a minute early.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni At about 8:52am a 29-sunset (8730) driver didn't let an elderly lady on who was moving slow. I think it was at 25th and Lincoln. I'm not sure if he didn't want to wait, but it didn't feel right. She was knocking on the door and he pulled away from the stop.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@SFMTA_Muni
Why does it always seem like on rainy, stormy days, I always seem to miss the buses because they are a couple minutes early and I see them drive right on by?! 😅💀

[Chris @Spectre124]

@IGN The game is practically a cinematic masterpiece in and of itself. This is something that genuinely does not need to be made.

Tom Hanks learned a secret about Fred Rogers that no camera ever captured—and it changed everything he thought he knew about kindness.
In Joanne Rogers's living room in Pittsburgh, she told Hanks something the world had never heard. Her husband carried a folded piece of paper in his wallet every single day of his adult life. On it were names. Teachers who saw something in him. Mentors who corrected him. Friends who stayed. Family who shaped him. Colleagues who challenged him.
The list was written in Rogers's own hand. It was not short.
Every morning, Fred Rogers took out that paper, unfolded it, read each name in silence, refolded it, and put it back. No one watched. No one knew. He didn't tell stories about it. He didn't post about it. He simply did it. Daily. For decades.
When Joanne found his wallet on February 27, 2003, the list was still there. The paper was worn translucent at the creases. The folds were permanent. Some names had been added over the years. None had been crossed out.
Hanks didn't write any of this down during their conversation. He told reporters later that this single detail unlocked the entire role. Rogers wasn't performing kindness for children on PBS. Kindness was the architecture of his private life. The list was his blueprint.
Hanks wore Rogers's actual cardigans during filming. He studied the deliberate slowness of Rogers's speech—slower than any voice on television because Rogers believed children needed time to understand what they heard, not just hear it.
He learned Rogers swam every day. That he chose his words the way other people choose routes on a map—carefully, with the person on the other end in mind.
When "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" premiered in 2019, Joanne Rogers attended. She told reporters that Hanks hadn't impersonated her husband. He'd captured what Fred did when no one was looking.
The cameras showed a man in a cardigan asking children how they felt. The wallet showed a man who never stopped asking himself who made him possible.
The list is a reminder: We are not self-made. We are name-made. Built by people who gave us something we didn't have—and remembered by whether we remember them.
Fred Rogers remembered. Every single day. Until the last one.

@Acyn You can't change voting laws with an executive order. That has to be an act of Congress. Of course it's going to be challenged.

[Chris @Spectre124]

I just read a story that was completely believable, but it was fake and it said "April fool's" at the end. April fools day should be reserved for fun jokes. Not for news. There should never be April fools stories in the news about real things. That's bullshit and it's fucked up.

[Chris @Spectre124]

@IGN I'd rather replay the Mass Effect games. I'm getting tired of contemporary AAA titles cutting corners and releasing unfinished games. Having incomplete, shitty AI, should never be released in a game like this. I really hope they work on it. At least the sound effects are dope.

"He was Jack Sparrow to the world. But in a London hospital room, he was just a father holding his daughter's hand—and he never forgot what that felt like."

In 2007, Johnny Depp was on the set of Sweeney Todd in London when the call came. His seven-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, had been rushed to Great Ormond Street Hospital with a severe E. coli infection. Her kidneys were failing. The machines were doing what her body could not. Johnny dropped everything—the costume, the cameras, the character—and ran toward the worst moment of his life.

For three weeks, he lived in that hospital room. The first nine days were unbearable. Fame meant nothing. Fortune couldn't help. Only science, strangers in scrubs, and endurance. He sat in a hard chair beside his daughter, listening to machines beep, watching her fight a battle no child should face. Later, he would call it the darkest period of his life.

When Lily-Rose finally recovered, something shifted in him. He had witnessed the quiet heroism of doctors and nurses. He had sat among exhausted parents in hard chairs. He knew he would never forget that feeling. So he did something quiet but powerful: he donated over two million dollars to Great Ormond Street Hospital. No press. No fanfare. Just gratitude.

But the real change was personal. Johnny began visiting children's hospitals in secret, dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow. No cameras. No announcements. No headlines. He walked through pediatric wards, improvising stories, handing out gold coins, whispering jokes, listening. In Vancouver, he spent five hours with seventy children. In Brisbane, Paris, Madrid—quietly, relentlessly, one child at a time. Nurses said he treated each child as if the moment belonged entirely to them.

In September 2024, he appeared at Donostia University Hospital, full Sparrow attire, suitcase in hand. No premiere nearby. No media rollout. Just a man keeping a promise. When asked why, he said simply: "Children are incredibly strong. But the parents… the parents are dying inside. If I can give them even a few minutes where fear loosens its grip, that is enough."

"He took his greatest fear and turned it into a promise. And for years now, he has been quietly keeping it—one child at a time."
