Totalement. Même je dirais un Le Pen qui regarde une statue de Jeanne d'Arc en contre-plongée.

Pour le coup que Dieu t'entende... Ca aura probablement des répercussions sur nous tous, mais ça me semble être le seul moyen désormais de freiner la guerre.

The cut content of this one is particularly painful, as it would actually have added to the movie. I was lucky enough that my edition had at least some of it, but visual quality was not on par with the rest. Still pretty interesting, especially the WW1 section, which I believe suffered the most cut.

If you were wondering whether the #tinytoon DX patch for #gameboycolor would work on real hardware, here's the proof! I used an original (albeit pimped) GBA for this video. Thank you very much to @moddingmarius.bsky.social for the time spent, and the quality of the product!

C'est juste littéralement le "plot" de l'épisode de "profession critique", où le personnage est horrifié par la machine de son boss qui réécrit la fin de Spartacus en version heureuse.

Wow! Vous êtes doués tous les deux, je n'avais jamais réalisé ça! 😦 Cela étant, je comprends que d'un point de vue visuel on opte pour un croissant courbé, c'est juste dommage de se ridiculiser par excès de "précision". J'en référerai désormais à vous pour tout corps gras, en tout cas! 🫰

I'll be publishing something in motion tomorrow. For the time being, I'll leave you with the new title screen, and a screenshot of the train : notice how the bottom part shows different colors to suggest the outside, despite original game having the same "blank" background. #tinytoons #gameboycolor

Tiny Toon Adventures DX new title screen

Tiny Toon Adventures DX : a screenshot of the inside of the train. The bottom part of the screen is showing a landscape composed of pink and violet, because it's morning. But the upper part takes place inside the train, with a yellow lighting projected on brown-ish walls.

The economics of AI (LLM) data centers continue to be utterly unworkable. This whole thing is going to crash sooner rather than later and leave a giant smoldering crater where a big chunk of the economy used to be.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Je me souviens d'une anecdote similaire capturée par une équipe TV il y a quelques années : Estrosi qui "vire" un jeune homme (probablement l'assistant), pour pouvoir s'asseoir au 1er rang, aux côtés de Mme Chirac.
