"what's the most useless video game trivia you know" -- one of the sci-fi alien screen textures in half-life 2 just uses a screenshot from a (surprisingly OK) Star Trek 4x game called Birth of the Federation... the Combine Advisor is playing as the Romulans, on turn 363

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

There's a lot to say about the Roblox CEO interview, and the right place to start is definitely his answers on children's safety, because that's kind of the fire that is hottest and closest.
However, I have to also say, the polymarket stuff is real 'summation of our neoliberal dumpster fire' shit.
