I'm surprised they've not just rolled out teslas driven by "robots" (people in robot suits)

Not just the horse - the Fire Horse!

Making games with forced limitations can prevent this - e.g. Pico8, Playdate, real 8 bit computers. Or pick a forced arbitrary limitation - 320x240 display. Max 1mb for all assets, etc.

If you've not seen the JS13k jam, people entering that manage amazing feats of tiny game.

I know, I know... AI datacenters sucking up every bit of RAM, GPUs, HDDs (and water) is pretty bad. But on the other hand, future AAA games might look cool like this, instead of chasing this endless, unsustainable bit of photorealism.

If it was me, I'd suggest something like a 25 or 26 hour cycle, then events will always eventually happen at a convenient time no matter where you are.

Can you remote play on a second screen on your lap? I've actually done this a few times with xbox games when I haven't been able to read the tiny text on screen

I've seen projects go through preproduction, create highly polished demos then be entirely rebooted back to the beginning because the people at the top didn't feel it. Multiple times. And even greenlit projects find that they suddenly get pushed back to the start for random stupid ego reasons

I love that it's detailed enough that you can clearly tell exactly what computer the art was modelled off

You're doing it to me right now! Stop!

What about a folder *on the desktop*?

(May be called "New Folder (7)")

Yeah - 70 sales for me after two months - got a little boost with a new year sale, but none in February so far - have ideas for more games (and updates to my current game), but it takes the excitement off developing knowing there just isn't a big market out there (or the market is too saturated now)

Presumably that's the time it takes to load the image in from disk?

The colours of that really make it, somehow.

I definitely had an "am I just too old for this" moment when I ordered tea in a museum cafe in Sweden, and was handed an empty teabag, a cup of hot water, and was pointed at a row of jars containing various different things so I could make my own blend.

What if all the others were crossed off?

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

My guess - He wants to go there personally, and he knows he wouldn't want to go to Mars

The bit in the bottom corner of the magazine cover that has the issue date. It reads: IDG MEDIA ISSUE 67 FEBRURARY 1995

Februrary?

Yes, and in 50+ years time people will still be discovering GenAI in something, and having to tear it all down and decommission it ASAP, much like when someone goes to repair something in a public building these days and finds it riddled with asbestos

Big red spools. The biggest reddest spools you ever did see. With a car park in front and a grey metal fence that in no way obscured the enormity or the red spools

Some combination of tiny periscopes and lenses, I guess!

I once bought a small armchair from an bric a brac market, and had to take it home on the Metro, since we were parked at another station.

Of course I sat in it, but got so many "what sort of arsehole brings his own chair?" looks!

The trick is eye distance. If you take a real stereo pair, but have the eye positions twice as far apart, it'll look like a model.

So yeah, you need lensing so that the two eye positions are real eye distance in the model's scale.

I guess it's because, as it was with Cummings, they've convinced themselves that the chief advisor is the only thing keeping them successful at whatever in their warped view they think they're being successful at.

Ooh, that is genuinely useful - I have a huge geeky log spreadsheet that I add to every month, and it always takes ages to scroll to the bottom, given that it contains 26 years of data!

..just add &range=A321 to the end of an existing link, if anyone's wondering

Back of the box mentions movies - does it have a Christmas Carol level?

Three more and you'll get a chameleon

One giveaway is the copies have also copied the little smiling computer robot thing at the bottom (which I presume is a style signature of the original artist, and makes no sense to be copied)
