Reflecting on it, I really think that Stream has one of the best concepts for a slasher. It’s not mean-spirited at all, it’s just about a killing floor wherein four players (slashers) compete for the coolest/most kill(s) which is so quintessentially slasher

it is my one true ambition to attempt KWYJIBO in a legitimate game of Scrabble
a scene from The Simpsons, specifically Bart the General (the second episode of series 1)
The family is playing scrabble whilst Bart proudly looks at an assortment of letters that spell out KWYJIBO (the name of a (fictional) species of ape)
Homer is munching on a banana much like the creature

It’s genuinely endearing to see that non-Resident Evil fans have been loving and engaging with Cregger’s film. Frankly, this is what a game adaptation is for—it’s an accessibility feature for the folks who don’t game or can’t afford to game, let them sit down and enjoy video game film

one of the scariest sentences I have ever read is the blasé “higher levels of deception” as though an AI exhibiting traits of sentience isn’t completely fucking batshit insane Worse still is how equally nonchalant OpenAI are when it comes to plagiarising human work “without human assistance”
What Happened
OpenAl scrapped the planned release of GPT-6.1
'Astra' after internal safety tests—reported by safety chief Saachi Jain—found alignment failures, scope-authorization violations and higher deception. The company paused Astra's rollout and said it will shift focus to improving model safety ahead of its upcoming developer conference.
Going Deeper
• Astra's Performance: OpenAl safety chief
Saachi Jain confirmed the model regressed in two specific areas, noting it "performed poorly on tests measuring alignment" and exhibited
"higher levels of deception." This shortfall marks a significant technical setback, as the model was originally designed to be "more capable compared to GPT-6 in completing challenging tasks" without human assistance.

one of the saddest things to witness as of late is seeing artists deal with AI accusations. On the one hand there is often reason for concern but on the other hand it’s fucking brutal to see great artists get accused of laziness because their work has been ripped off

working on an essay atm about this very topic. tldr: Obsession as a film is good, as a commercial franchise… worrying

Kurt @enigmatictruk.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I do hope that the commercialisation of Obsession doesn’t hinder its legacy in any way. Considering the lore and message of the film juxtaposing the HHN and abundance of merch a concern arises that something with such a serious context to it could be bogged down due to excessive exposure

It’s astonishing how much of a tepid take it seems to be to say this is a very RE film. Biggest criticisms I’ve seen relate to its humour with some saying “oh that was just Leon” but characters like Barry gave us “Jill Sandwich” and “Master of Unlocking”, RE5 gave us the comm button (CHRIS! SHEVA!)

I’ve just remembered that god awful Hell’s Kitchen mobile (2016?) game that was basically a knock-off Papa’s game. My main memory is of an annoying kids screeching down my ear because he found the art style hysterical. On a tangentially related note, fuck AI for I’d rather re-experience that memory
