Hey, sorry it's been a bit, but you know what they say. Time is relative or whatever. Anyway, I decided to tackle one of the most revered games of my favorite console gen, and why it's a wonderful time capsule of what developers were doing at the time. Sharing's appreciated. youtu.be/xKZv9vyz-uk?...

my takeaway is that going out to protests and organizing with your community like minneapolis has shown us and getting offline, where people are paid to parrot government propaganda, is the best action you can do and reminds you the average person isn’t insane or evil

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

We’ve been speaking out against KOSA since it was introduced in 2022 by Marsha Blackburn, a bigot and outspoken advocate for censoring trans people off the internet in effort to “protect children from the transgender in this culture.” KOSA has ALWAYS been about censorship and suppression.
This bill has 67 senators supporting by Democrats like Bluementhal amd Schumer.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

A take I've been workshopping is that the right fundamentally believes that every piece of media agrees with them until proven otherwise, which is why satire doesn't penetrate. When you look for inherent support for your worldview unchallengingly, you will find it, differing ideas do not exist.
who cares? don't tie your morality up with consuming the "correct" media, and even more than that, don't get spooked when the wrong people also like it. the saudi crown prince LOVES one piece. bitch you ARE a celestial dragon. that's YOU!

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

January's going to be very busy for me, between moving out and still going to my new job, but hopefully I'll be able to have a cool new video up by the end of January. Or at least early February. Then get on some kind of schedule once everything settles and I have my own space.
