The new Lumines has absolutely killer art direction precisely because it has zero fear of being perceived as corny. It will just throw every idea it has at you and maybe not all will land but at some point you WILL cry about how all humans are connected while matching broccoli and tomatoes onscreen

been playing some Wreckreation (Burnout spiritual successor) and I’ve gotta say, some performance and teething issues aside it’s pretty good, kind of Burnout: Paradise if it played more like Revenge

Whacky variations on a theme:

DEATH NOTE, only instead of a paper notebook it's a vintage Newton MessagePad 100 with non-upgraded handwriting recognition (and all the spelling whackiness that went with it). Also, no takesie-backsies.

TypeScript is a psychology experiment designed to see if you can read "the JavaScript API you know and love, but with the safety of strong typing!" and get so distracted by how much you like strongly typed languages that you forget that you do not, in fact, neither know nor love the JavaScript API

Wikipedia HERO

A guy discovered a faked photo of a rare blue gas on Wikipedia. So he SYNTHESIZED THE GAS HIMSELF so that he could photograph it. Yesterday he updated the article with this real photo of trifluoronitrosomethane:

i just deleted my instagram

it’s quite interesting how these guys will deny any kind of right wing politics cause they didn’t like… say a slur on main or whatever. but like anyone who’s been around for more than 5 minutes can clock their whole deal just from word choice

"Forcing your ideology" is *definitely* not one of those red flag phrases, nope; we totally haven't seen this before from primarily right-wing run projects...

Just more to be aware of from KPXC.

like fundamentally yes, a lot of us just think you're a giant fucking loser for using generative ai, and no amount of making it ethical will change that. back in 2003 we laughed at people who wanted a Make My Level For Me button; now we actually have one and i can only laugh harder.

The reason Bluesky is doing the "rude" post labeling based on keywords or downvotes is that for them it's an easy-to-do performative thing.

"Hey, we're doing something!"

Meanwhile actual harmful accounts (e.g. transphobes) can post their tripe freely because Jay thinks those are valuable ideas.

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.
