It’s almost like neither of those games run on Switch.

Wow Clair Obscure and Digimon look more visually impressive than the dense open world Pokémon game that needs to run reasonably well on the OG Switch? Who would have thought.

Muuuuuum they’re putting screenshots from a game for PCs and current gen systems next to a game that needs to run on the equivalent of a mid range smartphone from 2017 again as if that showed literally anything but their complete ignorance of game development

They’re already carrying out the genocide of trans people. They’re pushing further and further on every other group until they get to the same point. Everyone needs to be fucking clear and on the same page on this being a thing that’s happening.

It’s a lot easier to carry out a genocide of marginalized people (and let’s be clear, that’s the end goal of the Republicans’ fascist project) if there’s no or little critical mainstream news coverage of those groups, by those groups, sympathetic to those groups.

Jordan Peterson critically ill with pneumonia, neuropathy, and sepsis

Jordan Peterson is sick, and suffering from "spiritual attacks" (and surely it's not the drugs, or long COVID, or a meat-only diet, or...)

If you get a deal with a streaming service or do a TV broadcast or cinematic release definitely. Traditional mass market Home media releases unfortunately largely flop now, nobody buys Blurays. But there’s ENDLESS other ways to monetize. Pack in for an album deluxe. Fanclub VOD. Merch at shows.

Rewatching something that you know the basic plot of in a foreign language with subs in that language may be the single strongest learning tool I’ve ever found tbh

Final Fagtasy III: Pixel Remaster @jygglypuffdaddy.bsky.social · 15h

It honestly feels like some kind of weird tantrum sometimes. Like why is charli complaining about being “pressured” to release a proshot of her tour just do it girl 😭 I’d argue it’s basic accessibility tbh.

I give Netflix a lot of shit but all their originals have subtitles and audio in dozens of languages so there’s endless material there. And there’s browser extensions that help you use that for learning with integrated lookup etc

Watching it subbed in its own language is an extremely powerful learning tool tho. Helps if your listening isn’t quick enough yet and also makes it easy to look up new words.

Watching foreign media with subtitles in English isn’t gonna do shit for your language acquisition I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news. A bunch of you have been watching subbed anime daily for 25 years and speak no Japanese at all after all that time.

The exception is Beyoncé whose unwillingness to give any of her tours post 2010 (!!!) a proper home media release of any form is utterly baffling.

What are the odds this AI face scanning to measure pain levels technology is incredibly racist, incredibly sexist, and incredibly ableist. (Extremely high, I’m willing to bet)

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 21h

“In nursing homes, neonatal units, and ICU wards, researchers are racing to turn pain—medicine’s most subjective vital sign—into something a camera or sensor can score as reliably as blood pressure.”

AI is changing how we quantify pain

Artificial intelligence is helping health-care providers better assess their patients’ discomfort.

A pretty mediocre show is still exciting in the moment. But only a truly well choreographed, designed and performed one can shine on video.

1

Final Fagtasy III: Pixel Remaster @jygglypuffdaddy.bsky.social · 15h

I lowkey think a lot of the pop stars who won’t let their tours receive a proshot are the ones who are not confident in their own work. They don’t think their shows are good enough to stand up to home viewing without the energy of being in the room making everything feel better and special.

Final Fagtasy III: Pixel Remaster @jygglypuffdaddy.bsky.social · 15h

It’s also shooting your own legacy in the foot tbh. The pop tours from the 80s through 2010s that people are still talking about are almost entirely the ones that have good proshots.

I get the romanticized idea of it being a “moment” but there’ll be millions of people who couldn’t attend or who would like to experience it at some point in the future. Why erase that possibility for them? You record your albums instead of just playing them live once?

Pop stars who are against filming/documenting their tours are fucking obnoxious in the same way that broadway plays that refuse to release a proshot are. It’s unnecessarily gatekeeping culture and declining to properly document pop history.

This is a friendly reminder that the only good Nazi is one with a bullet in his head. This used to be uncontroversial.
