Letterboxd scores for ocean horror movies: all were good except for DeepStar Six, which was a boring waste of time.

Feasted on some oceanic horror movies this weekend. I used to scoff at campy 90s movies with bad cgi, but I MISS THEM SO MUCH! They would get designed around "how entertaining can we push this premise?" Just pure joy.

a man in a superhero costume is hugging another man and says " fly home buddy i work alone " Alt: The part in The Incredibles where Mr. Incredible says "Fly home Buddy. I work alone."

Whenever I see a new Copilot button show up. (Today, it's the Github app)

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Sometimes you gotta offset Dante's Inferno with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

This guy gets it.

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Would you believe it? I'm playing more BIG HOPS on twitch. Come say hi!

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Continuing more BIG HOPS on twitch!

it is done
almost a year later Paper Chrono Trigger is done
proper photo session this weekend
made from bristol paper, cardstock, sketchbook paper, toilet paper, & matboard
(Also bit of clear resin, colored gel, LED strip, & microLEDs)

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

Even more BIG HOPS gameplay coming through the internet pipes tonight.

Streaming some more BIG HOPS this evening.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI.

Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999.
Here is the entire sequence.
