Brendan Fraser to star as Eisenhower in new WW2 movie: "Ooh that's interesting"

It's another movie about D-Day : 😪😪😪

Finally raided my first "major" town in Kenshi (Brink) to help the anti-slavers, then brought Lady Tsugi to Tinfist

I try not to be one of those nostalgia-blinded folk but oh my God we just will never reach 80s-90s level of cool anime character designs like, ever. We're not lost in the sauce, the sauce ITSELF has been lost, and will never be found. We are forever in a bland, seasoningless landscape.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

It sucks that it's so difficult to prove either way, that you don't trace AI or that someone actually does it

For sure

"Jin-Roh" 4K remaster looks magnificent. The Japanese UHD is coming next month (with english dub+subs).

I have finally encountered Beep in my Kenshi playthrough, I kneel

THERE WILL BE CHANGES!

Designing Oppression in the Skies of Half-Life 2 How Half-Life 2 art director Viktor Antonov created skies that were vast, heavy, and deeply moving.

How the grey, heavy skies of Half-Life 2 set the scene for a dystopian sci-fi tale: @konstantinosd.bsky.social pays homage to the work of Viktor Antonov in our first article on Skyboxes.

Lol Ashes of Creation is dead, who knew you couldn't trust a company headed by someone whose resume included working at an MLM company

Same, both Ishitani and Masami Mori's 🙏

Gaza and the Conduct of Urban War: Civilian Harm, Risk, and Responsibility Urban warfare is often invoked as an alibi: dense terrain, an embedded enemy, human shields, imperfect intelligence. These conditions are real but they do

This is an important, credible, and damning article about the IDF in Gaza by Andy Milburn, a retired US Marine Raider colonel with combat experience from Fallujah and Mosul who maintained close contact with IDF officers during the war (while keeping a low public profile). Read the whole thing.

Like, what the hell are you talking about??

No, the fuck, they didn't

Not just the Commonwealth, they've been one of the biggest sources of funding and ideology for most of Europe's right wing parties for the last 10 years at least

In the end Google+ dying before the 2020s was for the better really

This will sound a little harsh, but like... can we get a little creative with the UI in fantasy games please???

I've seen this one used SO many times already and it's getting tiring (on top of making the games themselves less distinct from one another)

Maybe Im being too much of a doomer but I feel like, at least in Italy, society is never going to get out of this disinformation spiral

The braindrain of young people is slowly making sure the most stupid and ignorant rhethorics prevail over truth in social discourse, and AI is making it 100x worse

Tbf the Soviet Union COULD have defeated Nazi Germany without the help from the Allies, eventually

It would have just taken possibly upwards of millions more lives and more time, but the Nazis never actually stood a chance

A lof of that was also caused by the fact the Allies decided to mostly just sweep everything under the rug and get the ex-fascists on their side to fight the soviet union/communism

Meloni's doing tricks on it, jesus fucking christ

Look, I can take anything at this point, but not the fucking tankie authoritarian defenders coming to Bluesky to argue the thousands of Iranian killed actually deserved it ffs

"Crew of USS Liberty fails to win over Israeli Air Force"

These feel like the journalist asked chatGPT to mimick a conversation between different people about these events

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

I might also add, Pizza also spread to Argentina already in the late 1800s and was already a very common popular food in Buenos Aires by the 1930s
