The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

This is an incredibly good point. AI created flyers waste ink like nothing else. They're so expensive to print because they all have weird shading and curves where human-created design wouldn't. It's not actually saving you money if no one can read it and it costs a fortune to print.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Why oh why can’t democrats learn to say: “Who, exactly, will you allow to inspect your daughter’s genitals? Because that’s what’s coming once these bans are enacted. You’re surrendering girls’ sports to the craziest parents in the league.” Trans bans are inherently misogynistic. Talk about it!

My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing. I became a professional computer toucher because they do exactly what you tell them to. Not always what you wanted, but exactly what you asked for.

LLMs turn that upside down. They turn a very autistic do-what-you-say, say-what-you-mean commmunication style with the machine into a neurotypical conversation talking around the issue, but never directly addressing the substance of problem.

In any conversation I have with a person, I’m modeling their understanding of the topic at hand, trying to tailor my communication style to their needs. The same applies to programming languages and frameworks. If you work with a language the way its author intended it goes a lot easier.

But LLMs don’t have an understanding of the conversation. There is no intent. It’s just a mostly-likely-next-word generator on steroids. You’re trying to give directions to a lossily compressed copy of the entire works of human writing. There is no mind to model, and no predictability to the output.

If I wanted to spend my time communicating in a superficial, neurotypical style my autistic ass certainly wouldn’t have gone into computering. LLMs are the final act of the finance bros and capitalists wrestling modern technology away from the technically literate proletariat who built it.

there's such a depressive weight to being a digital artist because everything you make, upload, or share is just punished immediately by creative violation of thieves and machine scrapers. I do have an apprehension to upload and post stuff lately because there's really no joy in being disrespected

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

It was quietly revealed in a SAG newsletter the English VA for Ryoga in the original Ranma 1 1/2 passed away in March of this year. The cast of Ranma stands tall, so it’s really something to say that Michael was a giant amongst them. His talent will be remembered so fondly. Watch old anime, please.

That Discord game dev hack is still going round, 4+ years later. If a friend says they or a friend are working on a game and would like feedback... Come up with a code phrase or something before that? But don't install!

A scammer has hacked a friend's discord, and asks via DM if I could help test their game. It first links to a youtube trailer (I assume, I'm not clicking that link), to make it seem real.

They didn't really respond to my reply which was sus, but followed up fast with a link to where I could download it. To make it seem legit they say: 'let me know when you're on the main menu I'll send you an invite'

I've been spending a good bit of time deciphering the .cptd format from Adobe Captivate Classic courseware. Needed to refactor it this week. Happened to dig a little deeper and found out: it's basically the Adobe PDF 1.0 specification. Oops.

Fragment of the PDF 1.0 specification, explaining: "A dictionary is represented by two left angle brackets (<<), followed by a sequence of key-value pairs, followed by two right angle brackets (>>)..."

Despite being the only tool that can do all the things it does, Adobe Illustrator has always felt "off" to me. There's so much friction between what I want to do and the sequence of steps needed to get it done. It feels like it's been needing a UI refresh for the past 20 years.

The Switch 2 can self-brick. The Xbox library is on my PC. The PlayStation library is on my PC -- except for maybe three games I want. I just want a console I can hook up to a hotel TV for gaming with friends. None of the current consoles makes that easy. Steam Deck does, though...
