Unholy Voices on Cue YouTube video by Matrix

Five ghost battles blended in equally, with a proper metal soundtrack.

Doom E1M1 Hangar cleared cinomatographically YouTube video by Matrix

More camera fun in Doom! :D Clearing map 1 efficiently (though not a WR) from all kinds of camera positions. I built in static camera views, linear moving, following an arc, and even a bezier curve! All vibe-coded so far, though, so I have quite some cleaning up to do if I want to expand this thing.

Flawless reasoning! The criteria for being a successful pope might still be subject to debate, but that's another matter.

Dying on Cue cinematographically YouTube video by Matrix

I was playing around with DSDA-Doom and found a way to control the camera during a replay. So here is part of my Sunlust record, the end of map 24 Dying on Cue, viewed from a rotating angle. Cool stuff. :)

Almost looks like it just had a haircut.

Ah yes, he said the states should take care of health care and such. But he's cutting their budget as well, with $15.5 billion.

I just played Doom at 240 FPS for the first time ever. :')

Good doggie 🐶

I don't think it's that obvious to the populace of most Western nations.

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Since only Congress is allowed to declare war, should we call this a special military operation?

Ah, ja, uiteraard! Maar goed, ik zie Trump als een onherstelbare narcist, dus beredeneerde ik hier vanuit het perspectief van Rutte en Europa over hoe daarmee om te gaan.

Persoonlijk zou ik Trump de huid volgescholden hebben. Maar daar bereik je niks. Rutte deed dat handiger.

Ja, dat klopt. Maar voorlopig is een invasie van de baan, en ik noem dat winst. Volgens mij ziet vooralsnog niemand een permanente oplossing. En bestaat dat überhaupt? Want alles verandert continu, en met name Trumps hersenspinnen.

Er is een crisis bezworen en een alliantie behouden. Het is even aanmodderen tot Europa de VS niet meer nodig heeft. Maar voor nu zijn dit exact de soort oplossingen die we nodig hebben.

Ik vond hem maar een matige premier, maar hij zit nu precies op de juiste plek!

It was even a news item on Finnish TV.

-20°C in Tampere. Yes, Finland is cold, but this is a bit over the top.

I don't want to watch the Eurovision Song Contest anymore.
I don't want to watch the World Cup Football anymore.
Unfettered capitalism can really ruin traditions. :'(

Autumn colours, from green to orange.

Gotta love Tampere in the autumn...

I've made a GPT voting assistant for the upcoming Dutch parliamentary election. It knows the electoral programmes of all parties currently in parliament. It does tend to answer in Dutch, but you can ask it to repeat itself in your language, it will.

Ik heb een GPT-stemwijzer voor de TK-verkiezingen gemaakt. Het kent de verkiezingsprogramma's van alle zittende partijen. Dus vraag maar raak!

Even in France their former president, Sarkozy, was imprisoned for corruption. And he wasn't even half as corrupt as Trump.

So now the administration is burdened with the task of finding evidence for something that didn't happen and doesn't exist. A process that will reveal that not just the Clintons, but also Trump himself and many of his allies were in frequent contact with Epstein.

Suicide is still by far the most likely cause of death. So why does the issue linger?

Trump & co campaigned on unraveling the pedo-conspiracy, and part of the MAGA base is utterly convinced there is one. But there is no 'client list', only flight logs and exchanged messages.

He attempted suicide before. And more importantly, it would have required an extraordinary plan, executed to perfection, to commit the murder in such a short time frame, involving many people, keeping even more mouths shut, and cover up a huge stack of evidence.

Both the official declarations and the investigative journalistic findings describe a failure cascade: loafing guards, broken camera's, tampered "raw" footage... This feeds conspiracy theories and makes that we cannot rule out with certainty that he was murdered. However, there is no smoking gun.

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

The Epstein scandal never had my interest much, but after reading this article I decided to do a more thorough investigation. Or rather, have ChatGPT do that for me. The *deep research* option is fascinating, but you need to be careful what exactly your question is. Anyway, here are my findings...

With all the seriousness and worrisome nature of geopolitics, seeing these trees of the day always makes me smile. Please keep on sharing them. :)

Gelukkig hebben we de liedjes nog...
