They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Vileblood Bomb
ITEM 9
Alchemical, Bomb, Consumable, Splash
Price 149 gp
Activate [1] Strike

This volatile looking glass vial is filled with a writhing and squirming red substance tinged with green and black rot that seems to be in a constant state of motion. An attempt has been made to keep this vial sealed shut with a length of rope that has been wrapped around it, securing the cork in place. A slight scent of iron and putrid flesh seeps from it at all times.

You gain a +1 item bonus to attack rolls made with this bomb. The bomb causes lesions to open on the victims skin dealing 2d6 persistent bleed damage and 2 void splash damage. Any creature hit by the bomb or in its splash area must attempt a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw. Creatures in the splash area treat the results of their saving throw as one step better. 

Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target is sickened 1.
Failure The target is sickened 1 and drained 1 while sickened.
Critical Failure The target is sickened 2 and drained 2 while sickened.

Star Wars game from yesterday: we survived the alien squid onslaught, but just barely. Stood on top of the overturned train cars to fire at them as they came, which worked for all but the last car which got absolutely swarmed and overrun. Lost some npcs, but held out until rescue showed up.

Ha! Replaced the headphone jack on an expensive set of desktop speakers. Unsoldering it from the control board was the hardest part, I don’t usually do solder work so it took me forever. Got the new one on - messy solder job, but it works! Ended up buying a new soldering iron just for this

Nothing that takes place after the sequels interests me, especially Skywalkers. Anything good has to be earlier. KOTOR. Andor-like explorations of the rebellion. Etc. We could have had Rogue Squadron damnit. A struggling New Republic clawing its way to stability and legitimacy, but nooo

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos
"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

But I cannot stress enough: we have spent decades de-prioritizing and defunding the humanities broadly in secondary and post-secondary education and then we're all surprised-Pikachu-face when we are suffering from systematic leadership failures in exactly those skills and knowledge domains.

Your daily reminder that some birds have eyelashes made of tiny modified feathers. They're found in at least one species of 28 families of birds (out of 205). An example of convergent evolution. Examples: ostriches, secretarybirds, hornbills & hummingbirds. (📷: Nicolas Reusens Photography)
Captured by @nicolasreusens, these close-ups show the eye and eyelid margin of a hummingbird at roughly 3 to 3.5x magnification.

What look like lashes are modified feathers, not hairs, and researchers have proposed that they may help protect the eye from airborne particles during flight. Eyelash-like feather structures have only been documented in a fraction of the bird families surveyed so far.

These photographs were taken at the Catia Hummingbird Sanctuary in Mexico.Captured by @nicolasreusens, these close-ups show the eye and eyelid margin of a hummingbird at roughly 3 to 3.5x magnification.
