Just a random guy that likes video games and movies. Probably won't post much.

Talk to me about fighting games or boomer shooters!

Voice of Luigi in upcoming Super Mario movie Charlie Day was asked who his favorite Luigi’s are, and he said Luigi Mangione

stop doing extension and flexion stretches like 1 and 2 unless you want to give yourself carpal tunnel or make your carpal tunnel worse.

People who say "oh but the technology is always getting better" are missing the point entirely. Better at *what*? At homogenizing culture into undifferentiated slop? At convincing people to deploy it in unsafe contexts? At wasting everyone's time?

What we are seeing is that a lot of computer touchers value their access to neat toys over literally anything else, and the appropriate reaction is to just identify these people as morally deficient.

The technology has proven itself extremely harmful, and the hype cycle and propaganda around it are amplifying the harm. Trying to reclaim some little corner of it as "actually useful" is just fake nuance.

AI boosters and fence-sitters think viscerally negative reactions to AI are "irrational" but mass deployment of LLMs is actively destroying everything I care about (the open internet, the planet, creative industries, art, my ability to buy RAM). Total rejection is the most logical response.

I doubt any US mainstream media has the balls to even show US readers and viewers how well the Iran war is going, so here is a photo you probably won't see in the USA. Source:BBC

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance.

Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf.

Tim Sweeney is worthless as a person, and Epic is a leech feeding off the games industry

I'm not watching the Harry Potter trailer, and neither should you. JK Rowling is a piece of shit, and looking at the trailer or hate watching the show IS SUPPORT OF HER. Don't do it.

I'm not usually a tactics game guy, but XCOM 2 is one of my favorite games ever made. It got me more into the genre, and I played Enemy Within, a bit of Phoenix Point, and struggled against Xenonauts because of it.

Also go play Xenonauts. It's super hard, but very fun.

I can't recommend Routine enough to any horror game fans. If you liked Alien Isolation or anything by Frictional Games, give Routine a shot.

Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire.

Something has to change. The time is now.

DLSS5 is just a TikTok AI filter, and it takes two 5090s. Nvidia is a joke

Digital Foundry slobbering over DLSS5's AI slop is embarrassing. These guys used to be respected PC journalists, but now all they do is praise the worst modern game trends or over hype ray tracing and path tracing

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

And that shouldn't be up to them. But, anti-trans laws WILL keep trans people from showing up to locals and events. Mainstream acceptance of patriarchal nonsense will keep women from showing up. Immigration enforcement will keep people of color from showing up.

I know it's a long shot, but I hope everything going on with Lud serves as a sobering reminder of why politics in community spaces, especially niche communities, are important. At any moment, there are politicians and their police deciding people in your community cannot be a part of ANY community.
