Very intelligent...

Fuck the cruise ship industry.

Twitter post of Slava Cherk happily posting his own games art that's been put through an AI image generator to make it simpsons themed while another user named Javi Lopez is praising him for doing so while calling for people to embrace Gen AI

Slava Cherk claiming ChatGPT's image generation is fun while posting a screenshot of his prompts to generate images based on his game stuido "Lazy bear games"

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code

Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine

The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

Wikipedia articles about matcha tea in EN and FR. One focuses more on Japan and the other on China. It goes to show that multiple sources are always better than one and learning multiple languages offers invaluable advantages. This is not about green tea.

My Thoughts on Xeno Crisis for SNES Since the game has now started shipping to Kickstarter backers and is also available on the Bitmap Bureau online store too, I figured I’d share my thoughts. Now, I don’t have an origina…

The last warrior of the 90s console war is crashing out again, about a game they don't own and have never played. For someone who comments under every YouTube video about the SNES and laments the lack of new releases, he couldn't be bothered to buy it...

La page Wikipedia de Koxie est actuellement le champ d'une bataille entre éditeur pour savoir si la candidate du parti à droite de l'extrême droite est d'extrême droite...

While I agree with the sentiment, how is it a "random bush"? It's the only bush on the entire map that's clearly blocking a path. A very suspicious looking bush if you ask me. I think it's very good and very intentional level design, that's the opposite of random.

I can't wait for your take on Super Bomberman 5! It was my favorite of the SNES bomberman games. When I was a student, 20 years ago, I even made a PC clone of it with characters from other games, a la Super Smash Bros. The game is lost but the site seems up at superbomberman5.free.fr

The Buffy subreddit is fascinating. It's just like the series, an interesting blend of comedy, horror and drama.

Satellaview - An Explainer (Blog Post) - Yakumono's Personal Site

Feel free to widely share this curated easy to understand #Satellaview knowledge that I just posted on my blog.

I didn't want to overscope it but I spent a lot of time explaining a curated list of games for those who have no idea what the Satellaview is.

Tbh, it's the same one you played. I just felt like it was time to spread the curse onto the land once more.

On the topic of DVD CC, there's a great video by the old tech guy. I imagine you've already seen it.

I'm pretty sure both channels are run by the same individuals, they generate very similar videos. They also clearly reuse the same prompts over and over again, it's almost comical.

And another one.

Screenshot of YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@RetroPocket08

Looking up Mega Drive games, I just stumbled onto a content farm channel called Retro Pocket. The thumbnails, the scripts, the audio, the descriptions, all of it is AI generated. 1000 videos in exactly 2 years.
The few non-bot comments are eating this like it's their last meal. We're so cooked.

I had already flagged this channel (Brew) as trash when they basically plagiarized a 2016 story by Matt Wolfe for the New Republic for their video about Benjaman Kyle.

YouTube channel BrewSolves is still doing the James Somerton method of turning old books into videos. On top of barely paraphrasing the book and the FBI report, I noted 3 errors in 3 min. Also, on-screen quotes and b-roll footage add no value to the story. Just read Wikipedia or the fucking book.

Trsoect me as Angel or Else

"I was born in 1990 and I was sort of raised in America when it was a cult of self-expression, and I was just taught, you know: express myself and have things to say and everyone will care about them. And I think everyone was taught that, and most of us found out that no one gives a shit what we think...They say it’s the ‘me’ generation. It’s not. The arrogance is taught or it was cultivated. It’s self-conscious. That’s what it is, it’s conscious of self. Social media is just the market’s answer to a generation that demanded to perform, so the market said “Here, perform everything, to each other, all the time for no other reason.” It’s prison, it’s horrific. It’s performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lie in bed at the end of the day and just watch our lives as a satisfied audience member? I know very little about anything, but I do know this: that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it." - Bo Burnham

Live your life without an audience.

Do You Know WHICH YouTubers are Deceiving You? Language Gurus that RUIN Language Learning YouTube video by Oriental Pearl

2/ While that video (link below) was about language learning, all her arguments could be applied today to her own recent content regarding Japan. As if she gradually became what she despised. An unfortunate irony.

- clickbait - silencing people who call out your false claims - predatory tactics - making bank with marketing preying on people's insecurities - cult-like personality - censoring comments - "I like hearing the voices that disagree with me"

1/ Oriental Pearl made a video in 2022 calling out the "language gurus" of YouTube. She and her guest make good points I listed here. She also emphasizes multiple times the exploitative nature of making money from a "position of power" (being a big YouTuber) with false claims.

"This page may contain affiliate links" actually means "all the links are affiliate links and nobody in our staff has read the FTC regulations on affiliate marketing which is why this message is buried at the bottom of the page in a tiny font and a color that only bees can see."

Inventing Antifa In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters.

Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...
