If you really really hate something, that's a sure signal that it will become incredibly popular or widespread. If you really really don't want something to happen, it will definitely happen, and soon. If you don't feel strongly about something at all, it probably doesn't matter and isn't important.

its so funny to see this when my entire life revolves around talking about all day every day with 100 other people who only talk about this one thing

this is Sonic 2

its a generic name for pit bulls and big bad guys

It depends on your goals. Are you trying to learn stuff for employment reasons? If so, React on the UI is basically the move. There's no point in doing something completely native right now unless you need 120hz rendering or unless being native is necessary to interface with the system.

its gotta be jsonformatter.org

That's why great chefs cook with stainless. So that steel wool is effective in removing all of those rich flavors

im trying to make every decision from now on based on how how much Excess is involved (more is good)

wish we were there....

That's where you have to start. Ultimately I don't think the consumer stuff is even that relevant. It doesn't matter what ChatGPT or Suno or image generators are doing. It's more about the universal panopticon and impending economic irrelevance of real people. That's what we need to concentrate on.

Playing DDR lately

It's like trying to resize a very very small image into a large image. You can see what it is, but it's going to look like shit. That said, there is new AI-based audio super-resolution which can do a decent job interpolating / making up data. It'll take a while to make it into consumer products.

It would indeed sound bad, or at least worse. Audio data is simply a series of single values describing the position of the wave. The content is the loudness. When something is quiet, that means that the numbers are all small. Making it louder just means multiplying those numbers, "inventing" detail

ive got a similar disease

Confirmed.

Just finished The Magus (1965) by John Fowles. Mindblowing. Masterful prose, page-turning suspense, sensuality, layered meta-narratives, predictive commentary on world culture... Then I tried "There Is No Antimemetics Division" (2025) by "qntm" and it was a bunch of stupid numbers and shit. Lol

it's a hardware issue with every single one. basically they just didn't make it correctly. they said they're going to recall all of them and ship new machines in like a year lol

its pretty good....

to be clear I'm saying it was good before and now it is wack, specifically because of the business pressure that causes devs to choose modern text rendering. back in the day, there was no choice but to do it the hard way, and also for many old games it was just English and Japanese so also a factor

making a retro RPG with text rendering verisimilitude would make it so much harder to build and localize. so then you get retro gameplay view with immaculately rendered high res menus. which is incredibly stupid. we all know that OG FFT's text and menus were god tier and 70% of why it was good

localization demands and text rendering create a kind of pressure that detracts from aesthetic coherence, especially with retro stuff. it's hard to argue against using modern font tech due to its ease contrasted with the unbelievable complexity of doing it from scratch. and in a text-heavy game...

i actually played it again the other day and got this lol

it's kind of new idk

#DDRSeason

it doesnt do that. you just know more stuff and you can talk about why you like it
