If Linus wants to buy a private jet it's certainly his prerogative but it's certainly very funny to spend a video bragging about what a great deal it is when you clearly just wanted a private jet to fuck around with.

Just completed a LucasArts point and click game on my RP5 in ScummVM called The Dig (the story was originally conceived of by Steven Spielberg). The atmosphere and story is top notch, but some of the puzzles definitely stumped me for a bit. Overall great game though. Great alien/sci-fi vibes.

Symbolism.

why is this so funny

We really need to change the way we talk about gambling as a concept because a lot of it is based on psychology rather than delineated lines. Video games have featured risk/reward mechanics since forever, but people can easily recognise harmful or predatory gambling offerings when they see them.

Obviously this is complete bullshit but it's very funny Anthropic is so desperate to claim its AI is somehow alive because under human standards you could easily argue what it's doing by subjecting its models to god knows what bullshit is tantamount to torture.

Oh so now copyright matters.

american century of humiliation

For $200 you can pick up an android gaming handheld that can not only emulate N64 titles, but Gamecube, PS2 and more.

Unfortunately Bluesky, while not twitter, is still run and developed by tech bros it seems. The slop might be hidden away but if they're willing to build AI tools and use AI to build this place I can't imagine it'll be long until it starts creeping into user-facing features. Please fuck off with it.

I watched the first super mario bros movie and it was extremely okay. Like not terrible, but a very by-the-numbers movie. Based on the reviews of galaxy I doubt I'll be bothering with it. Mario Galaxy is a great game but nostalgia bait only gets you so far.

The problem with generative AI usage isn't just about slop (although even in this use case this is still a concern, particular when it comes to security). It's the unethical way LLM models are trained. There's no "good" way to use generative AI if the underlying LLM was trained unethically.

Is it rude to ask a lady what transfer speed.

Mind you bluesky was shading X on X about adding AI tools 5 months ago

You think American politics can't become more of an embarrassment and yet it still finds ways of surprising you.

Billions upon billions being invested into a tech sector entirely built upon "dude trust me" while everyone has to suffer its ongoing consequences.

"I just want to watch the ships go pew pew" Just watch something else man.

I will Venmo any white house reporter $600 to read this to trump and give him a pen and paper to do it

So fun fact, you don't need any AI to build a custom feed. I made a tutorial here that covers everything you need to know to make a basic feed using SkyFeed! The advice is meant for artists looking to build a personal art feed, but anyone can use it for general feeds. bsky.app/profile/spir...

"agentic" is the latest generative AI buzzword. It all still suffers from the same ethical, environmental and economic problems if it's relying on large LLMs trained on copyrighted material. Disappointing to see Bluesky embrace this dogshit.

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames

One of the people Epic laid off has terminal brain cancer and lost his company life insurance in the process of being laid off, just in case you needed another reason to hate Tim Sweeney.

Yeah and so will not buying new consoles.

Ocarina of Time is a legendarily well-regarded game. It's going to be a tall order to do it justice in a way that makes sense for a remake. I would however be interested it if it featured things they wish they could've done with the original game at the time in terms of features or content.

I have permanently altered my algorithm, but it is worth it.

This is quickly going to become the default bullshit excuse when people find AI assets in-game. How about not fucking using them at all?

Tim Sweeney, it's not too late to log off: aftermath.site/tim-sweeney-it...

Looking forward to the studies in 5-10 years showing much people's brain's have atrophied who have offloaded basic thinking tasks to computers that struggle to count the number of letters in words.

Everyone dislikes the new Harry Potter show for different reasons but I've found a cool new third option which involves muting the words "Harry Potter".

Reminder that Epic's last mass layoff was to ensure the business was sustainable, so no further layoffs would be necessary. www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/n...

The problem with gambling is that the industry has a very antiquated view of what gambling is when there are a lot of games being pushed and market to children that are very clearly designed to exploit the same sort of psychological hooks that causes people to become addicted to gambling.

is it good that the leader of the most powerful country in the world is making decisions while being treated like a temperamental child with a poor attention span

Had to completely re-install Dolphin on my RP5 because a nightly update completely borked it. Thankfully I found my way around the files and was able to manually restore mostly everything back by backing up the old install files and doing a fresh install. That'll teach me to use nightly builds.

grok please write me a tweet I can post to spin firing over 1,000 employees and make it sound like a good thing actually

lol

That is definitely a sequence of words all right.

The AAA gaming industry is a machine that turns jobs into layoffs.

Everybody's trying to be Fortnite and if you don't make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off, but it ends up even if you do make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off

Tim Sweeney’s net worth is 9.6 billion

The live service business model is so utterly terrible for the gaming industry.

This is literally the only thing i have the bandwidth to read about today
