fish eyes II, print ad (1999) www.mobygames.com/game/54589/r...
print ad imagery is an illustration of someone in a boat tossing their line out (fishing) in a river as the shadow of a massive fish swims close to their boat. greenery and tall trees on either side of the river.

if you want to be happy for a day, get drunk.
if you want to be happy for a week, get married.
if you want to be happy for a life, take up fishing.

text above title:
no. 1 fishing game

some small in game screenshots on the left side, down the bottom of the ad.

i've seen this happen multiple times with musicians who cover video game music doing takedowns on uploads of gameplay featuring the original bgm. ridiculous that this is a problem in their system

if i remember right the animation work was done by a russian company, presumably staffed by animators who worked in, or at the very least trained by animators who worked in the soviet system, all the camera moving feels very of that tradition imo

ngl this actually does look like am exactly perfect description of how video games are made, with the actual minute to minute design being such a low level priority that the player is expected to pick up the slack themselves. Thank you EA this is clarifying.

Experimental MSU-1 streami. #123
nasonliu wants to merge 2 commits into a
agg23 commented yesterday
If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

gonna say, it actually is a bit weird to me how many people praise the article as very thoughtful because I don’t think it’s thoughtful to pretend no one has ever thought about things if that’s not true. it’s offensively solipsistic and antiintellectual.

feel like this was the obvious conclusion from it being f2p (maybe not the million MAU, but certainly way more than what sf6 etc get). if nobody pays at the door you need way more ppl to play than an FG can reach. granblue also has f2p background and their FG was sensibly not f2p

New blog post time! This week's game is Cheese Chase, arcade maze action from Art & Magic, makers of the Amiga owl shmup Agony. You can see glimmers of potential with the focus on turnstiles and manipulating hazards, but the zoomed in camera and slippery movement really let it down: #blog #gaming

People are not going to like this but I would argue AI investment is literally a counter to investment or build in social and or industrial infrastructure. A show of power that takes huge investment similar to gargantuan monuments or deathcamps but abstract, for the post financialization age
