Some of my favorite pages from Luxury Ball (2016)

Cover of the Luxury Ball zine. Roselia in a flowing formal gown, sitting on a pokeball, with the words “Luxury Ball” in aggressively loopy cursive.

James from the Pokemon anime in heels and a strapless sequin dress, sitting on top of his partner Weezing.

Deoxys in its speed an attack forms. Deoxys speed wears a form-fitting romper with a cape, Deoxys attack wears pearl earrings and tiara and a flowing single-shoulder dress.

Sableye wears a cowl dress and several jeweled accessories. She’s sitting on top of a Probobass, who seems unbothered.

There’s this weird phenomena that, best I can tell, is only on Bluesky, but is people certain that “no one told Harris and Walz to stop saying ‘weird’, that’s a myth.” It’s not, and there’s named sources in CNN articles about, from August 2024.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the debate over whether to bring an iced coffee to an interview. It doesn't matter. Iced coffee is NOT why it's hard to land a job right now, and it's NOT why Gen Z can't get ahead. Our economy is rigged. We need to change that.

Man it sure is weird all these rogue promptings are getting the AI companies more data and not for example deleting their own data. It sure is weird that the outcomes are indistinguishable from the companies just hacking other companies for data and then lying about it. Truly a mystery.

Genuinely, this completely rules

－Recently, the game has been going viral on X for its beautiful undressing animations. I’ve even read in one of your previous interviews that the development team practiced stripping themselves as reference for the undressing animations. What was the process behind making the animations actually like?

Matsui:

I’d love to know how far that story has spread. It’s true.

First, we write a plot for each undressing scene, then draw storyboards, exactly as the original team did. Then the real work begins, because the animation is essentially all keyed by hand. A designer moves the clothing’s 3D model, frame by frame, manually. It really is pretty much like the claymation method I mentioned.

We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

Then VR adds its own weight. In a normal game, if something becomes awkward, you can cut away or swap models between scenes. In VR, the player can look from any angle at any time, so none of those tricks are available. The same model has to undress convincingly no matter where you’re standing. When I described this to a designer at another studio, he said, “I would never do that.” I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.

And then, yes, the part you’ve read about. The undressing motions themselves use motion capture, but the deeper problem was that nobody actually knew the correct rhythm and order in which a person takes off clothes. So, the directors gathered and undressed themselves as reference. “That zipper is coming down too fast.” “She’d pause once before slipping her shoulder out.” These were serious, sober discussions. For compliance reasons, the Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns team works in a walled-off section of our office – and that was the moment those walls truly earned their keep.

Self-Portrait as a Great Heap — Julie Heffernan, 2009 Oil on canvas www.julieheffernan.net

At the center of the painting is the artist holding an apple in front of her. coming out of her head and trailing down her back is a sort of wickerwork. At first glance it looks like a big 18th century-style wig. the heap that she stands in the middle of is made of fruit and game — these are classic subjects for European still life painting.
*Game* is, to be specific, dead animals: dead birds, dead deer, dead rabbits. in the background behind her are trees, a river and Greenery. in that landscape there are a bunch of men shooting all over. (One man isn't shooting he's down his hands and knees sniffing a bush.) on the left there are some trash cans with limbs sticking out of them. In the air there is a burning airplane. on the right there two naked men wrestling like Hercules and Anteus. one is in a bear hug being lifted in the air — losing his power when he loses contact with the Earth.

Another illustration of the suit matchups for SRPMM, they are arranged differently but have the same relations. Additionally, a second set of images showing that the puppy knight would beat the skeleton bishop, and the mustard pauper would lose to the mustard queen (suits take priority over rank, and rank only settles suit-ties)

Also, there's no fucking need to produce art faster. It's not food. If an animated movie, or a book, or a music album takes five years to make, then so be it. "We need to make it faster" is a capitalistic mindset, and it's there to benefit the owners of corporations, not the workers/customers.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

A fantastic painted turtle stands on a snag in a stream. Turtle has a smooth black carapace with bright red edges. Its neck and legs are a glorious riot of yellow racing stripes. It has its neck fully extended staring at the sky and the back right leg and foot are completely extended. This is an epic pose by a creature at the peak of its powers.
