Two titans of film died today. One, Robert Duvall, was a consummate character star, able to play good (Boo), evil (Col. Kilgore) and all the complexities in between. The other Frederick Wiseman, was simply the greatest observer of the human species in the history of the cinema. Which is to say ever.

Meta patents AI that takes over a dead person’s account to keep posting and chatting - Dexerto Meta has been granted a patent outlining an AI system capable of simulating a user’s activity on social media to post after their death.

Sick shit foisted on us by sick people.

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

RIP to a real great!

Currently downloading 152 mods to play Fallout: New Vegas again…

50 new games a day on Steam. 350 per week. 18,000+ per year (as of 2 years ago).

Regardless of the quality of each individual title, that is an absolute mountain of new games that the market cannot possibly support.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Saleem.

There is no song in this world that I dislike more than “Making It Work” by Doug and the Slugs – and the frequency with which it is played on Canadian radio stations trying to fulfill their CanCon quotas is a large part of that hatred. Yeccch…

Deal!

Just survived putting the bedding back on to our bed. Duvet cover and everything! Ask me anything.

Mewgenics controversy and Edmund McMillen really bad response to it are evidence why games industry should not belittle community management and PR roles.

This is literally one of the main movies I’m referring to in this post ahaha

When watching an old movie or TV show (even music videos), my wife will – without fail – tell me the horrible way in which some actor or person who had something to do with the production died offscreen. Always with the most twisted trivia without fail.

It’s one of the many reasons why I love her ❤️

turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company

we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running

"Many GSFC employees are still concerned that the imminent removal and possible disposal of materials are in direct contradiction to the instructions in a Congressional Joint Exploratory Statement which directs NASA to preserve technical and scientific capabilities."

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.

If you get the chance to try the Echo Generation 2 demo this weekend, it would really help the fantastic Toronto-based devs gain some visibility for the game before #SteamNextFest!

And if you like it, leave ‘em a review ✌️

And there goes one of the last vestiges of storied Canadian film distributor Alliance Films. Closes to become a gym on Tuesday…

The Beach Cinemas opened in 1999 and was our go-to multiplex for most of high school. Certainly good news for The Fox, but sad to see it go!

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

Your survival isn't having a hit.. It's having a body of work you grow and expand. Until it cannot be denied and cannot be stopped. Momentum thru mass and perseverence.

That's my strategy..my advice: you make it yours;)

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

It’ll be nice to have MGS4 out of PlayStation 3 jail finally, but they really gave Ghost Babel the “and the rest” treatment here.

It’s a shockingly good GameBoy title that feels both like a demake of the original MGS and a missing link to the old school top down “Metal Gear” games.

Even if this does get approved, I for one won’t be buying one.

Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Reveals Jaw-Dropping Details of Secret Meetings With Trump Teams Leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project say they have met with high-ranking Trump officials three times.

I’m not much of a nationalist -- I love the people in my country more than any notion of its borders -- but these Alberta separatists are, as David Eby said, traitors. Just full-on villains, sabotaging our mutual health. How can we collectively stop this?
