I usually renew my National Parks Pass in December anyway, but if you buy a 2025 pass this month, it is valid until the end of December 2026 and has a significantly more attractive Roseate Spoonbill.

It’s just wild to me after they’ve been so draconian in enforcing IP copyright they’re opening the doors to all manner of infringement - if they think they can keep it contained they are naive as hell

This reads like they put a million monkeys in front of a million typewriters and tried to hammer together something vaguely Shakespeare-shaped from their output

Although maybe it's not the best analogy because if they'd actually used monkeys the work produced would be original

Anyway, if you’re gonna record temp dialogue, you can do that with humans too. It’s fun! And there are no expectations it’ll be good or usable for ship.

they're hoping those million monkeys type enough pages to fashion something Shakespeare-like out of them

I mean, you wouldn't hire someone who so consistently produced slipshod work you'd need to spent more time cleaning it up than it took for them to generate it, so why the fuck would you use technology which produces similar results? at least the slipshod human could bring baked goods to the office

once just to say I tried it I fucked around w/some AI voice generation apps to make some quick temp dialogue; it took dozens of tries to get a take that sounded even close to what I wanted & I had to Frankenstein lines together syllable by syllable. sucked. this sounds like that at a massive scale.

This is a very good... trailer? documentary? mockumentary??

despelote was my favorite game that year and has some masterful experiential design in it. I can't recommend it highly enough and I don't even like sports, but sounds like not many people played it

I’ve only played a couple hours so far but Angeline Era is rad! Feels like nothing else I’ve played, so confident in its direction and effortlessly interesting in its sprawling new ideas.
