i say all this to remind people that you can absolutely believe in restorative justice and the ability of people to change for the better, but it does not follow from that belief that a person's reputation can be wholly restored to a pre-crime discovery state because reputation isn't part of law.

One funny thing I've realized over time is that taking a break from a game you're trying to learn actually does help. I've found it's the case for fighting games and tonight was the first time I've grinded DoDonPachi in a few days and it's the best I've done. This image is just unironically true.

this whole xbox thing feels like a true emperors no clothes moment. there is so obviously no plan, anything announced yesterday is overruled tomorrow, that even reporting the facts feels laughably insufficient.

Man, even if the main 3 wars happening now all end, the state of the world still looks bleak as fuck I thought, even if we'd be ruled by fascists at least we'd get some peace in the world for a short time...

The puzzles were already kinda bad after the series puzzle master died yeasr ago sadly, but this is so much worse... it's taking his cleverly crafted puzzles and mixing them up with AI generated vomit and then selling it to us again...

Surviving the process doesn't mean much if they die soon after or remain infertile (and again, that's already on top of the ones dying during the process), meanwhile their population keeps decreasing...

It's estimated 15% of them die during the process, and quite a few, while still technically alive, are either very lethargic (likely to die soon after) or can't reproduce anymore, leading to big population decline

See Vannacci, working with guys tied to the masonry and people tied to the P2, and (likely) getting funding from Steve Bannon I fear once the US funding dries up they'll have set up institutions and a web of rich guys here in Europe to fund them instead

The less you know the better at this point ngl lol It's not going to be in a "good" state for quite a while still, but it's getting there, slowly, hopefully a little faster once they release the singleplayer game they're developing in parallel, which is hopefully next year

<to make a more refined and realistic looking version of GTA 5... And I'm not even trying to shit on the game, because the technology underneath all of that (graphics, NPC interactions etc.) is genuinely extremely cool, it's just... at the end of the day is it actually worth 2 billion dollars?

Gian. @gian-imation.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Like, criticize it for all the dumb things they did or prioritized during the development, but Rockstar has been making (and refining, of course) the SAME game over and over for close to 3 decades and now they've used 2 billion dollars (and 8 years)>

Being a Star Citizen fan (don't kill me please😭) is so weird, because people outside of the community have been mocking it for its billion dollar crowdfund (technically split between 2 games but w/ever) and neverending development (fair), but at least it's actually trying to make something new?

I didn't really feel it as much watching the actual "trailer" but the first few leaks I watched I was almost convinced were AI at first, something about the stiffness of some animations (some of it still present in the trailers) aswell as the camera angles and the vehicles acceleration>

As a games journalist, I try to avoid saying “this game looks like this game plus this game” because it feels dismissive and kind of mean but holy shit I need some studios to start making games that don’t look like “this game plus this game”

i get tired of how fandoms interact w narratives. a lot of ppl in them have this urge to put everything into separate little boxes, or to feel like just because theyre a fan of something, it belongs to them. connection isnt ownership, investment and attention arent either. its false entitlement.

Personally I don't care for GTA6, I'm completely uninterested in it, but to just flatly say realism isn't fun is stupid It's also funny to hear that quote coming from Gabe who oversaw games like HL2 with its very advanced and realistic (for the time) physics engine

From what I understand its existence is tied to a(n alleged) grant given to Ubisoft for the development of the game by the French government, so it simply HAS to release at some point And I believe that because I really don't get how Ubisoft still hasn't shut down its development at this point

I think about this at least a dozen times a day.
people end up unable to see depiction as anything other than endorsement when their entire cultural diet is escapist fun and reassurance. they see something make them uncomfortable and can only assume people are watching horrible shit as vicarious pleasure and are horrified.

"Hopepunk" "solarpunk" "noblebright" "cozy horror" - you can not make a genre that is a refutation of another genre. Genres live and die by continuing and lovingly changing that which came before it. Nothing can be defined by what it is not except for nothing itself.

see also this work, which helps provide some helpful framing of how novel these phages are: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... tl;dr: I believe this work generates only marginally novel phages, which have only a moderate likelihood of working, that decreases the more novel they get.
