I watched a teammate in Marathon loot a Firestorm from a supply drop on day 1 of reset yesterday and I wonder what the opposing teams thought about it

of all the companies America allowed to have control over everything, Oracle was the one we had to pick, when my experience is that everything Oracle touches turns to absolute shit. have you seen PeopleSoft?

Microsoft still does this with the xsx controllers and is one of the few decent things that company still does

this makes more sense for the several base ps5 games using 720p framebuffers and fsr3 because that's the situation the industry allowed itself in 🙃

If you are caught up giving money to something like this, you can be debanked and blacklisted, or worse. The veracity of the claims doesn't matter. Please donate to reputable organizations, not individual accounts online.

yeah regardless of anyone's feelings on the situation, unwittingly sending money to a sanctioned entity can still get you debanked...

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

I am as sad as anyone else that there is no way to go back to a pre-AI world. but people gotta start learning to pick their battles, or the fleeting joys you have left will be extinguished by aimless anger.

- by-and-large LLMs are a net negative because most people *are* irresponsible, whatever benefits it has - reasonable people are using it to measurably good effect to make things you probably don't realize affect you - yelling at people on the internet does not solve the polycrisis of this moment

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026
- reasonable to not want to use software that was built with AI assistance - vibe coded slop is not the same as ai assisted engineering - parasites have exploited open source code before AI and are greatly empowered to do so by it - witch hunting doesn't fix anything

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 02/10/2026
these things can all be true at once: - demoralizing to working professionals to be forced to use - genuinely useful in the hands of an experienced SWE - slop code/documentation is noticeably garbage - people who don't make software professionally are speaking *very* confidently about my day job

you arent a burden. you are a human being with wants and needs. having desires does not make you selfish. unless you are sonic, in which case you are not human and everything you do sickens me.

apple does this too but I am not aware of metal pipeline compilation having quite the same scale of problems, at least for apple arm gpus

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 01/10/2026
nintendo and the rest of the industry learned years ago that monolithic pipeline state was a mistake. instead, Microsoft doubles down, taking Valve's workaround solution and turning it into a marketing point? just ridiculous

Eidolon @eidolon.photon.institute · 01/10/2026
microsoft refusing to introduce a VK_EXT_shader_object - like graphics pipeline model to direct3d 12 and instead leaning on "advanced shader delivery" is an indictment of the priorities of that organization and its complete disinterest in the gaming segment imo

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

for the first time in a long time for me, extrinsic rewards became a nice bonus rather than the main reason to play, and the intrinsic fun of just playing well with what I had became everything to me again

big step for me was realizing that I enjoyed the thrill of an underdog fight and put progress secondary to my goal of staging good fights and playing smart despite odds. glory to Arachne but actually real

Onboarding had issues, but the game has high expectations of the player and I massively respect that after getting past the original misgivings I had. It's relatable. More games need to expect more from players, and Marathon really wasn't asking for that much.

I am happy with Marathon surviving but also painfully aware that the reason the original for-sickos vision of Marathon wasn't working out was mostly the audience

Blender con is happening right now, and the next-gen Blender anim tech is basically what Cascadeur did. Remember that cool anim tool where you can arbitrarily lock bones and move the rest like it's IK but it isn't actually IK, and everything Just Works? HOLY SHIT. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2J_...
