YouTube video by PlayFrame How I made Elden Ring sound like a Zelda game

Earlier this year, I did something very silly and reconstructed a full hour of Elden Ring gameplay audio using sounds from N64 Zelda games. By hand.

If you tried to write a story beat identical to this in fiction? Your editor would roll their eyes and tell you you were being tacky and gauche and unrealistic.

google: i have made AI
users: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got depression

fellow engineers,

you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something:

1. how will the police use what i'm making?
2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against?
3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?

"I'm just saying," the first witch said. "A cat familiar is more traditional."

"Or a raven," the second witch said. "Where did she even get a dragon from, anyway?"

"She tamed it. In her last job," the third witch said.

"What job was that?"

"Princess."

"Oh. Well. No wonder she changed careers."

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

A tweet saying "every single municipal budget looks like the dril candle budget tweet" with a graph showing Police taking like 90% of a city's budget. Baltimore specifically.

Congratulations to the punk band that just released a new album titled after an electronics shredder company slogan I photographed in 2016 which escaped containment, what a world

The Kentucky whiskey and bourbon industry is on life support due to reciprocal tariffs and general boycott of American goods in places like Canada.

Eight months of that asshole’s stupidity and arrogance was all it took to destroy an entire industry.

CEOs are hugely expensive. Why not automate them?

Some union, please make this demand at the next contract bargaining!

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice.

And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

We use dead things to fuel everything from our body to airplanes, and I like think of it as necromancy, as I do of books whose creators have passed away. Our whole civilization is necromantic in how it powers itself and retains its identity. We don't just owe a lot to the dead; we are the dead.

Victories seem so hard right now but they're not impossible. Organize. That's how we win.

Idea: An HBO Max multi-season series of the History of the Peloponnesian War where every city state is cast with actors of a particular accent.

I think the Corinthians will have a nasally Boston accent. Athenians New York melange. Spartans Texas.

I already hated those spam emails and texts, but knowing that only a tiny portion of the money they raise goes to actual campaigns fills me with disgust
