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.

It took a long time

Here's a behind-the-scenes breakdown of the process:

We need more Superman and less South Park - saying that actually fighting back is being kind and hopeful and community building

Awesome work, as always.

i think what bothers me most about how "terf island" has been used is that it implies there's some unique essential characteristic of the uk that's allowed trans rights to be rolled back so thoroughly. this can and will happen anywhere we let it

It's nigh on impossible to resist smiling while listening to this song.

Sneeky danger borb!

🅧 Doubt

The BBC crows about balance, then ignores 100,000 people marching for trans rights whilst platforming the same handful of transphobes over and over again. This is not journalism, it’s propaganda for profit.

If I see a single kind word about this absolute piece of garbage

He was a racist who spent his entire career screwing over other wrestlers, torpedoing union efforts and being a renowned nightmare to work with.

interesting thing about the ai discourse is that you will say "companies pumped a trillion into glorified chatbots" and get the answer of "well ai will revolutionize medical diagnosis/chem research etc" and its like ok but those companies didnt fund those, they very pointedly funded the chatbots

The MTG card "Tezzeret, Cruel Captain" altered so that Tezzeret has Klingon head ridges, and with the card text translated into Klingon. Klingon text reads: te'Seret, HoD naS. DI'ruj yItwI' quv - te'Seret. 'elDI' vIqraq DaSeHbogh, te'SeretDaq matlh toghwI' yIlan. 0: DoS vIqraq yInwI' ghap tlhe'Ha'. vIqraq yInwI' je 'oHchugh, 'oHDaq +1/+1 toghwI' yIlan. -3: DojlIjDaq 'IDnar mI' 1 'IDnar mI' 0 ghap ghajbogh vIqraq 'echletHom yInej.

From time to time I enjoy translating MTG cards into Klingon. Here's Tezzeret, Cruel Captain from the upcoming Edge of Eternities set - and I've even given him some head ridges. I think he looks pretty good as a Klingon.

YouTube video by Adam Savage’s Tested The Original Star Trek USS Enterprise Filming Model!

I wonder if extracting frames from www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VMy... might also work for this?

Sorry about that 😄. Helps that that show is etched on my very neurons.

Thunderbirds are GO!

We're in the future! ... Oh no, we're in the future... 🙃

If you've never watched a play frame episode, this is an amazing one to start with. We lost the game audio and Dan recreated Elden Ring's sound effects using Oot/MM's sounds. It is a joy to listen to, and Dan is insane.

Are you a Magic player who doesn’t “get” all these #MTGxFinalFantasy cards?

Every Star Trek nerd should check out this surprisingly well-written (and nicely-designed) free fan-written e-book/PDF that’s an in-universe oral history of Starfleet’s first battle with the Borg from The Best of Both Worlds: wolf359project.com/wp-content/u...

Go have a good ol' whimse.

Robby the Robot, working behind a desk.

The Twilight Zone episode "The Brain Center at Whipple's" becomes increasingly relevant. In it, the owner of a manufacturing company becomes increasingly obsessed with replacing workers with machines - until finally the board of directors get fed up with him and replace HIM with Robby the Robot.
