"there has to be a way to win without giving you fucking freaks anything or even pretending to like you. we did it in '92. we can make that permanent." and chasing that above all else.

I know Steam will never do this because they are libertarian in the dumbest and most annoying way but the GenAI disclaimer should be at the top of the page in bright orange the same way it displays when you don't have a VR headset or failed a purchase or some shit. It should be unavoidable.

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

Die gefährliche Selbstgerechtigkeit der linken Parteien
Der SPIEGEL-Leitartikel von Ralf Neukirch
SPD, Grüne und Linkspartei sorgen sich angeblich um die Brandmauer zwischen Union und AfD. Sie sollten sich lieber Gedanken darüber machen, wie sie selbst die Rechtsextremisten bekämpfen können.

»Fragen Sie Ihre Töchter« - Kanzler Merz legt im Streit über »Stadtbild«-Äußerung
nach
Friedrich Merz macht den Handlungsdruck bei der Migration am »Stadtbild« fest - eine Äußerung, die heftige Kontroversen ausgelöst hat. Doch der Kanzler denkt gar nicht daran, den Satz zurückzunehmen. Im Gegenteil.

Die Linke im Bundestag @dielinkebt.de · 18h

Entweder Brandmauer oder AfD-Rhetorik – die CDU wird sich entscheiden müssen. Merz muss aufhören, so zu tun, als ginge beides!

Zitat Sören Pellmann "Offenbar besteht die neue Strategie der CDU darin, den gleichen menschenverachtenden Mist wie die AfD zu erzählen"

the degree to which the NYT has become an institution not just uninterested in reality but actively antagonistic to it still manages to shock me every once in a while

Patrick Wyman @patrickwyman.bsky.social · 1d

The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

The people who say "having VFX artists add sets and extras in post instead of filming them for real is lazy and bad filmmaking" as a negative about CGI will say "matte painting is a lost art that needs to be brought back".
Well which is it? Matte paintings never left, the tools just slowly evolved.
