3.5) I beat Roottreemania! Some of the same issues (also easy to miss where you are supposed to search) , just as fun. I put their new game on my wishlist and I hope we can do more. The Roottrees may be a bit too much to keep going back to, but they have a LOT of melodrama.
4) Resident Evil Requiem: One review I saw said it did nothing new but did everything really well and I have to agree. Grace's play was tense, Leon's was bombastic, the RE engine knows what it is, they 100% pulled inspiration from Alan Wake 2 and SH2R and we have a solid, scary, entry.
3) The Roottrees are dead: Other than me putting in a name/nick name for the final one giving me "Partial credit" it was really fun and solid! Time just vanished and now that Requiem is done, it's time to work on RootTree mania!
genuinely one of my biggest recommendations for emulating older games is getting your hands on a scan of the manual somewhere. having that at least accessible is an intended part of the design and experience and a lot of shit that's "obtuse" by modern standards is just expecting you to read it
It’s going to sweep across the country and kill and maim kids bc Trump put a lunatic grifter in charge of the nation’s public health system
This is a recurring theme — first in New York and Atlanta, now Dallas.
The legitimately innovative thing about AI is that it is a completely bottomless pit. It's swallowed up:
- all energy sources
- all our data
- all investment dollars
- all new jobs
- all capex
- all attention
- and now, all hardware components
with absolutely no end in sight. Nothing will satisfy.
Langston Hughes (1943)
Ok folks. The Minnesota Timberwolves are part owned by a firm in the concentration camp business.
A system built to eat people never stops eating people.
Florence Nightingale’s visualisation of how soliders were dying more from insanitary conditions than from battles is the intro to every data visualisation class in the same way that Euler’s Königsberg bridge insight is the intro to every graph theory class.
🔥 NEW by me: Mastercard is a sponsor of Trump’s Freedom 250, a Christian nationalist hijack of America’s birthday. Senators have launched an investigation into Freedom 250 over fundraising tactics.

kotaku is a good website staffed by good people and it is really maddening and perplexing to me the way right wingers think a perpetually understaffed video game blog is responsible for everything they hate
almost like it's my job... huh. not some fucker dabbling it it b/c he thinks he'll get all the glory with none of the work. I don't do it for the glory, I do it because the stories will eat me alive otherwise.
Pathetic.
Pay me $30k a year, and I could write, draw and complete a graphic novel a year. That on top of my patreon would be more than we need to live comfortably. And this fucker doesn't even have an IDEA? LOL
When the idea guys can't even idea, when they have a tool that does it for them. WEAK.
This stuff is the equivalent scandal to landlords exploiting grants for buy to let mortgages.
Massive data brokers will lease the hardware back to the public at a profit having bought it all out with government subsidies and destroy everyday amenities in the process.
Like most problems with AI this too is not a problem with AI it's a problem with the mad gold rush around AI.
I have my issues with LLM and generative AI, but the really big problems are very much human behaviour, exploitation and public funding and regulatory capture by big capital.
I'm impressed at how the AI industry seems to be trying to bring the rest of computing down with them.
It's a bold strategy that I don't think is going to pay off
AI: fucking up black people on both sides of the Atlantic
The death of cheap TVs is gonna be the thing that mainstreams the RAM crisis.
Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!
People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.
At some point all that obscure infrastructure built for Y2K that nobody bothered to update in the last 25 years is going tits up and we will be in a world of hurt.
If your legislation to stop "voter fraud" prevents 21 million legitimate voters from voting, your legislation itself is voter fraud.
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.
Reduced crash rates were supposed to be the main "benefit" of automated driving assists. Without that, there's no upside.
You might be tempted to say "the tech will improve," but that doesn't work if the current version causes real harm. Safety isn't "nice to have," it's a core value.
The enemy of my enemy is still a fucking nitwit.
