The Resident Evil Auteur in His Own Words Paul W.S. Anderson talks about making the earliest hit video game movies and what comes next

Paul W.S. Anderson explains why Resident Evil films have always been political warnings about Big Corporations taking control from people and governments

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

R.J MacReady from The Thing

Others (weak): New England winters are too cold for me 😭😭😭

Me (strong): New England winters rock because I get to pretend I'm R.J. MacReady from John Carpenter's The Thing.

This seems to be a common reply to my thread, so I'll address it here. Basically, the argument is who cares if this is a misleading attack on Newsom, he's bad so if it hurts him it's fine.

And I think it's important to push back on misinformation so that when there are legitimate criticisms...

Pretty well. It's honestly not as bad as I would've thought if you've got thy right gear. I snow blowed the driveway earlier but that's about it, otherwise I'm taking it easy inside

This is what Henry David Thoreau was talking about in his chapter "Winter" from his 1854 book Walden.

You have to be able to distinguish between "we are going to disagree about policy on some level and still work together" and "we cannot work together because our views are misaligned" and I am firmly in the camp of not working with people who will ever vote for concentration camp funding.

Spending the day snowed in and playing Valfatis: Mecha Therion on the deck and drinking coffee. This is how you do it.

The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”

“Horvath noted not only dipping test scores, but also a stark correlation in scores and time spent on computers in school, such that more screen time was related to worse scores. He blamed students having unfettered access to technology that atrophied rather than bolstered learning capabilities.”

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

This is happening in cities all over the country through direct gifts, police foundations, or nonprofits—rich people are forcing an agenda of mass surveillance and elected officials never say no to “free money”

btw if Canada wants to retaliate by burning the White House down again that's fine

And we've just hit 90% Hell's bells this is intense. www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...

This. It is utter bullshit.

The fact that I regularly have to have this debate with *other teachers* is so depressing, man. I don't want ai anywhere near my students.

Is this what the kids mean when they talk about "aura farming"?

Does this happen in other forms of art? Musicians who don't listen to music? Filmmakers who don't watch movies?

Rewatching John Wick as I await the incoming blizzard. Wish us luck on our first major storm in New England! Hoping our instincts, honed during many hurricanes, get us through it (already drinking).

Can’t wait to see him and other early buzz types eat shit in the primary.

This mindset is indefensible, no matter how many layers of FP speak you run it through

Tfw you still have some edge cases to fix in your procedural locomotion system #gamedev

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

A commission I had made for my AndresPlays/Little Victories project. It's a graphic design based on a real picture of me.

I've had an influx of followers, so a reintroduction is in order:

I'm AndresPlays, a gaming writer and content creator.

My ultimate goal in life is to help you find cool new indies.

I have a podcast called Little Victories where I interview gamedevs.

Excited to share my journey with you.

Want this for him

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

"Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists" describes my trajectory from seeing how the internet COULD HAVE and in some ways did increase democracy to seeing the richest people in the world figure out how to use tech to exploit and manipulate the rest of us. aftermath.site/anthropic-cl...

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.
