Love this game archeology stuff.

It was an interesting read and should remind us how quickly things can be lost without proper archival systems.

Plus, the day to day and normal is often forgotten or overlooked by history as us fish never write about normal water and currents.

Released in the PRC, so no. Nothing sexy.

Just misogyny (and maybe some homophobia for good measure).

Sixth Tone is not a “no name magazine”, it’s the English language publication of one of the largest online news publications in Shanghai.

Its a contender for best English language publication in China, and a good source of investigative (well, as much as you can get in the PRC now 财新 has been nutuered) journalism. It still gets to do more critical stories when they’re small scale and frame it as a problem government will find a way to solve.

That’s fair, I have respect for rules like that and also know that camping out for a rare quick animation would kinda ruin the effect when you want to be playing.

Nice write up.

Must admit I’m kinda disappointed the screen shot of Kaepy G isn’t one where the head is twisted nearly upside down.

But it also made me come in and read your thoughts on it. It’s a comfy game to play. Good luck with the project.

Really? A calculator only puts out what you put in.

A LLM gives you what has been put into it by it’s massive illegally scraped training dataset.

A better question would be is there a point to closed book/non-reference material exams, and in that setting is there a place for LLMs?

East Asia loves gatcha. It’s a huge thing all across the region.

If more folks are waking up and shaking a stick at it or doing something but blindly click through (thus legally unenforceable) EULAs I’m all for it.

Better late than never.

Might maroon me for fucking up the FOSS though.

Yes, folks can and do.

But Hollywood likes to good wash the current status quo, so let’s ignore PayPal’s union busting and censorship policies, bombing civilians, systemic racism, and take it up to 11 in a fictional future.

Or maybe I’m just jaded by the biggest fans of “purgey” settings being right wing folks.

I always assumed the Purges were set up by a far right government to legally kill anyone who tried to organise against them.

Send goon squads (not the new ones) to smash up and kill coops, local farms, unions, uncooperative lawyers, journalists, etc.

UB are getting all up in my standard and pioneer formats and killing my interest for them/Magic as a whole outside of “limited” precons.

Because thinking Trump isn’t perfect and local MAGA having your name down as “troublemaker” or refused to hate on transfolk won’t get you automatically graded as lowest-IQ.

E1M1 is great, top tier music.

The level clear screen music, E2M8, E1M8, and E1/2M9 tracks are all other top tier track contending for the throne.

Doom II introduced a few more bangers too, but I’m not as able to call the level codes to mind off the top of my head.

People aren’t used to this as a concept, especially when there are so many terms and conditions screens (that have been shown in multiple jurisdictions courts to not be legally binding) they click through on a daily basis as well as many other “as a service” models that are reliable enough that people don’t realise what the pitfalls are (people playing for Netflix are fairly certain it won’t close next week, for instance), even the more technically minded expect sunset clauses - which would be a pretty good legal baseline to improve the situation.

Unless it’s infrastructure or something with a natural monopoly.

The main competition with steam is buying physical copies of things. If we want to support retailers selling physical copies of games and bricks and mortar shops, that’s a good thing.

Alas, I think the games industry is chosing to abandon them. And Steam has the ability to add games purchased outside of Steam to it for convenience. Unlike Epic it puts the user close to the top of priorities.

There was an SLD drop a few years back. And some promos at an event, too.

Lovely interview.

Lutris got Magic: Arena working for me on my Linux machine a few years back and gave me a very enjoyable card game grind for about 3 years until I stayed limiting MtG:A to my phone on the commute.

Amazing work both from the Lutris team, and the interviewer.
