The time has come for Digital Foundry to go independent. We are going happily into this future!!! I cannot wait. We are looking to expand our PC coverage in time. We need another Alex. If you are interested to do PC work like I do and cover the cutting edge im PC Tec, get in contact.

Squadron 42 may be the target of some rightful scorn, but the fact itโ€™s bringing back many of these actors in an attempt to do this in the 21st century should be applauded if Roberts even manages to get vaguely close to WC as a series again.

Just today I asked a male (!!!!!!) shop assistant in Boots about maternity pads. This level of proposed segregation by sex is truly Victorian in its morality and moral panic.

Essentially, as @mildlydiverting.bsky.social points out, a lot of the use cases which techbros put forward for AI are ones which require them to develop adult skills - like knowing what to say to women. Itโ€™s a way of letting them be perpetually toddlers.

first person shooters are extremely fun, but the industry rarely makes the ones i like anymore Thereโ€™s something about that anticipation as your dropship passes over open ocean and the fighting on the beach comes into viewโ€ฆ

Hey! New article! This one's about the history of first person shooters, what makes 'em work, and why I like the shooters I like. It's also me lamenting how they've died, and talking a bit about why I want to go ahead and make one.

One thing I didnโ€™t expect as a new dog owner is knowing the names of everyone elseโ€™s dog but never those of said owners.

I mean, hidden cuts in single take shots isnโ€™t a new thing or a CGI thing. Hitchcock has at least two.

Annoyingly I developed an eye for them ๐Ÿ™ƒ so Iโ€™m even more impressed when I see it done.

IIRC the remaster still runs on the UE 2.5(!) backend but with everything pushed to the engine limits.

It barely runs on modern PCs due to compatibility problems so I guess youโ€™re lucky it didnโ€™t just outright blow the RPi.

Hell, experience has shown that Sony themselves can give the wrong details to third parties actively developing for their next console.

I made an anti-AI post on LinkedIn and the people angry or defensive all have Visionary or Founder as their listed role, and everyone agreeing with me has a real job. Amazing how that is.

Straczynski expressed the highest regard for Trias and ABC, but he said that he believes
"network paranoia" has led them to use Q5.
"It is a truly insidious organization, I make no bones about it at all. A lot of their research and theories are strictly from voodoo,
Straczynski continued. "I think they reinforce stereotypes--sexist and racist. I think they are not helping television, they are diminishing it."

In addition to Janine's new look, described in notes on one DIC character drawing as
"generally less harsh & "slutty," she will have a warmer, more nurturing relationship with Slimer, a childlike comic character who sometimes dissolves into slime.

The show also will contain less satire and less
subtle, sophisticated verbal humor. "I've written a few shows for this season, and they weren't as much fun as last season," lamented "Real Ghostbusters" writer Michael
Reaves.
As one of numerous examples of this change, the Q5 report notes that some jokes that writers had included about college days and
"no intelligent life in New Jersey" would go over the heads of young children. A phrase such as "create the proper ambiance," the
report suggests, could be phrased more simply: "Make this room look like a little boy's.

A remarkable 1987 article about โ€œQ5โ€, a consultancy that, iโ€™ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

I worked on HERDLING (coming out soon!) for the past ~3 years and there's a lot of tech-art goodness there, from fur and foliage to clouds and water shaders โœจ

I'm planning on sharing some behind the scenes goodness, but is there anything in particular you're interested in learning more about? ๐Ÿ‘€

Valve breaking silence on this is huge, they really dont do this. Companies, at this scale, dont -do this-.

Visa, mastercard, stripe and paypal are feeling the pressure. They are making mistakes under pressure.
