Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

Kazeta - Just Play

Very much love the idea of this new Linux OS, Kazeta.

"An operating system that brings the console gaming experience of the '90s to modern PC hardware and games: insert cart, power on, play."

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously"

No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

Here's a closer look at how physics facilitate the animations. I don't animate the skeleton directly - I only animate "goals" (solid purple) for body parts (faded purple), which use physical forces to move to their goals.

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it.

moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards.

that's it. Have fun!

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

Why So Many Video Games Cost So Much to Make Graphical fidelity is only part of the reason that game budgets have swelled to hundreds of millions of dollars

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement.

This week's column is a spicy one: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

'Dreams on a Pillow' is precisely the sort of thing the games industry SHOULD be making way more of, and is extremely deserving of your attention.

It's close to its funding goal, so go help push it over?

Five different stories, total. That's what you get if you ask the Washington Post's website to show you the Washington Post's ongoing coverage of the person who's been named to run the United States military. Or that's what I got the one time. When I did it again, I got four storiesβ€”the same three up top, but only the October 12 story below.

Here is the all-conquering generative AI revolution. Where there used to be a specific useful tool, there's now a generically useless thing that vaguely and incompetently mimics the general shape of the old tool. Everything you do on a computer is getting AI interventions grafted into the interface, to prevent you from accomplishing whatever it was you used to be able to accomplish. It's like the mass decision by carmarkers to put as many controls as possible onto touchscreens, so drivers have to constantly take their eyes off the road to see where their finger is going on the flat glass. But at least the screens were cheaper than the physical knobs and buttons they eliminated. The purpose of the AI is to make things more expensiveβ€”namely, the valuations of the AI companies.  

No one who cared about the purpose of the Washington Post or the purpose of the Washington Post archive would have ever allowed the Ask The Post AI to be deployed. But the world has allowed the management of knowledge to be taken over by ignoramuses, and now the ignoramuses have built ignoramus machines in their own image, manufacturing non-knowledge on a scale previously unimaginable.

My other popular opinion is that in-app purchases fucked mobile gaming.

Yes, there are exceptions; I know them. But the whole β€œour game gets unplayable after a point unless you buy coins” thing just means that games are no longer fun and developers aren’t trying to balance playability any longer.
