Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I was on the NPR show Climate One! Talking about how games choose to interact with, or ignore, the climate crisis.

"Planet Earth, you are a crew."

An AI dares to dream that she is human. You’ve been hired to put her in her place.

We’re sunset visitor 斜陽過客, the creators of 1000xRESIST, and this is our next game: Prove You’re Human.

The Developers Behind 1000xResist Are Back And Tackling AI 1000xResist tried to capture a truth about the early days of COVID-19. Now, its creators are turning their attention to artificial intelligence. And CAPCHAs.

1000xResist was/is one of my favorite games of the past few years. It spoke powerfully to the personal and societal traumas from the early days of COVID-19. Now, they're making a game about AI? Of *course* I had to talk to them about it for @remapradio.bsky.social remapradio.com/articles/the...

And she has since been deported.

This almost reads like a parody. But it’s very real.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy

corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor

that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

The Iranian embassy in Iran quote tweets Trump's insane 'Fuckin Strait tweet with the comment: "This low level of civility and intelligence shown by a leader of a country is regrettable; the shameful fervor with which intentions to commit war crimes are repeated is staggering; and the fact that the Divine is invoked regardless of ill intentions clearly exposes deep fanaticism. Apologies for sharing this language." Trump's tweet reads: "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

Yeah I don’t this this is actually true

Reminder to check your public library to borrow stuff for free like video games, books/ebooks, movies (including digital/streaming), and possibly even free museum passes and other goodies

haha great! that sounds good, if it didn't impact you then that's good enough for me.

Can you report back on the pedestrian subtitles? Saw some stuff on the subreddit, but would love to know your thoughts on if the streaming version is different enough for me to wait for the blu-ray. Other than that, I'm extremely excited to watch it (the first season of the show is also up!)

This new martial arts thriller starring Xie Miao and Joe Taslim looks insane.

Watch the exclusive trailer for The Furious:

A placeholder artwork in Slay The Spire 2, depicting the Defect meeting a fellow construct, Flaw in the scrapyard.

A placeholder artwork in Slay The Spire 2, depicting the Silent showing the trophy of her hunt, a piece of the Corrupt Heart, to her sisters, each of which standing on their own preys.

A placeholder artwork in Slay The Spire 2, depicting the Regent brandishing and admiring his majesty's Sovereign Blade.

A placeholder artwork for a card named Gang Up in Slay The Spire 2, depicting the Ironclad, the Regent and the Necrobinder, beating the ever living hell out of Fogmog, an enemy in the game.

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics"
❌WRONG❌
Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.

Nvidia Answers my DLSS 5 Questions YouTube video by Daniel Owen

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame.

TL:DR, they sped up slop.

youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

man, I really wish the show was available for streaming :(

"we're heading toward a world where players and tech companies have the final say in what videogames look like, not their creators."

Hot damn this completely sucks.

Hands-On With DLSS 5: Our First Look At Nvidia's Next-Gen Photo-Realistic Lighting YouTube video by Digital Foundry

weird that this impressive lighting tech also randomly turns everyone into yassified, looks-maxed freaks. it's like all this technology can't help itself but sexualize everything it touches. but like, through the lens of teenage boys.

COMPUTER WORLDS - A New Showcase Celebrating Strange & Distinctive Games YouTube video by noclip_2

Blown away by this showcase today, everything in it is so fascinating and inspiring. I wanna make more games that are like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og6_...

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense. The technology is increasing the speed, density and complexity of work rather than reducing it, a new analysis of 164,000 people’s work activity shows.

AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense.:

"It’s not that AI doesn’t create efficiency. It’s that the capacity it frees up immediately gets repurposed into doing other work, and that’s where the creep is likely to happen."

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
