YouTube video by Alien Bob The Desperate Housewives game deserved more love

Desperate Housewives, that show with all the sassy ladies and Kyle MacLachlan got adapted into a narrative Sims-like adventure game, and it kind of... rocks?

View of a mobile webpage, burchase.com.biz. It's a store page selling a product called Poochisse Facial Reddening Serum. The price is $119 and it has almost a 5 star rating with 56,264 reviews. The woman's finger hovers over the Add To Cart button. A thought bubble says "hmmmm"

A text conversation with someone labelled "bestie." The woman messages "do you think my face is goals? like from a redness standpoint. thinking about buying that dog spit cream." bestie responds: - ok so you are so naturally beautiful..... - but i think the dog spit is a good idea for u. - but you don't need it. - but would make you look amazing

“they’re safer” as an argument for Waymos ignores that we have 0 insight into how they are using all the data they are collecting and how they will use that data in the future.

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now.

But there's an even more important reason...

a collection of things i think would be worthwhile checking out when thinking about the themes and story in the game Stray Children top column: Moon Remix RPG Adventure, a game availble for PS4, Steam, Switch. an 'anti-rpg' by Love-De-Lic, the game developer that would form a pathline to Onion Games and Stray Children itself. Satoshi Kon's Paranoia Agent, a 2004 anime. Kazuo Umezz's The Drifting Classroom, a 1970s horror manga series. Middle column: Night on the Galactic Railroad & Other Stories from Ihatov by Kenji Miyazawa, a famous Japanese novelist and poet. Ihatovo Monogatari, a Super Famicom game that is something of an adaptation of Kenji Miyazawa's stories of 'Ihatov' or 'Ihatovo', a fairy tale land of sorts he created. Rule of Rose for the Playstation 2, a horror video game developed by Punchline, which was founded by ex-Love-De-Lic employee Yoshiro Kimura, who would also help found Onion Games, creator of Stray Children. Bottom column: Kairosoft's Game Dev Story, available on mobile, Switch, Steam, PS4, XBOX. (This is admittedly something of a wildcard pick, but I think those who have beaten the game will know why I'd include such a game among other, far more story driven choices.)

that's a wrap on Stray Children. still can't discuss much at all in the backhalf without spoilers, so instead, some things i think would be good for people to check out when thinking about the game and its themes. not as a 'the TRUE MEANING OF' or 'HIDDEN REFERENCE' way but just that: thinking.

It is positively dumbfounding to me that literally ANYONE still has Alexa in their homes, neverminded that they're lining up to buy literal surveillance sunglasses

Most people don't know how much Yoshitaka Amano popped off for Final Fantasy XI. Some of his best art.

The conclusion of Vol. 2 of the Hater's Guide is important to me, and summarizes my frustration with what I see as a failure by media and analysts to realistically explain what LLMs actually do. Retail investors - regular people - will end up hurt as a result.

Another fun one from original Spider-Man was when some of the pedestrians randomly selected non-English languages for their conversations and I didn’t notice anything out of place for days because it’s New York.

In essence, more dead characters doesn't make game slower. More alive characters does. But what really hits performance are large empires because it increases the amounts of realms (every ruler technically holds his own sub-realm) meaning more evaluations per character has to be made. For instance I discovered late game that huge greek/byzantine empires were slowing down the game because each greek person was evaluating against each other person in the realm "can I castrate?", and this took up like a huge chunk of the performance of the AI. I hink 70% of the AI demands were about castrating or blinding someone when I loaded late-game byzantine saves. Luckily this is fixed in the coming 2.4 patch. A fun little anecdote.

In Morrowind store owners put on clothes you sold to them if it was better than what they had. You could also enchant a shirt to poison yourself. So you could sell them a really nice self-poisoning shirt, fast forward an hour, then they'd be dead behind the counter and you could take their stuff

I got a shirt from this company that makes fake dog balls and the shirt smells like someone had been smoking next to it for 20 years. It smells so bad my arm hurts

what have we done. what have we become. given the infinite capacity of the mind we turn ourselves invariably towards such base perversions. man delights me not. nor condiment cow neither
