hey question for the computer-graphics folks: Have there been any recent advances for HDR->LDR tonemapping curves? Like assuming I just want A Function and not some wild local-contrast morphological thing

Unused graphic found in the files of Mario Superstar Baseball, possibly used as a placeholder for the title screen. It features crude sketches of Mario and Luigi seemingly made in MS Paint and the text "ルイージの兄野球", which translates to "Luigi's Older Brother Baseball".

still feels completely insane that tech dipshits literally built the Chinese Room machine, like from The Chinese Room. like not as an exaggeration for comedic effect they actually built the actual thing in real life. also they think it's alive lmao

We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and... We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray. Now you have to see it, too 😅
screenshot from the new Wolverine game with him battling a giant Sentinel. Wolverine is on a platform that comes up to the sentinel's waist. The sentinel hands can come to rest on the platform. A mock bad photoshop of Wolverine in the same pose from the trailer shooped into a stock image of a large baby boy sitting in a high chair and crying. Wolverine is standing on the high chair tray in a similar angle and presentation to the previous game trailer screenshot

the foldable phone thing is so funny. it's the kind of fun novelty throwing-shit-at-the-wall concept that tech used to try all the time, but techbros stopped experiencing conscious thoughts about ten years ago so they're just stuck on the last idea anyone ever had

thinking about wildly influential science-fiction OVA Gunbuster (1988), and how it isn't particularly sexual except the protagonist's shirt just kind of explodes off of her during the final battle for unclear reasons in 2026 we could learn a lot from this. not sure what tbh. but like a lot probably

korean games industry seems uniquely ai-pilled even in comparison to everyone else. really wonder if that's an actual cultural sentiment, or if the bosses have just been more successful at forcing it onto everyone. possibly I just haven't seen the devs pushing back because I can't read korean
