I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art"

I'd argue we see a similar line when the media calls secular things "religions" or "cults"--it's a linguistic shorthand that can set a tone for how we do or don't engage with or interrogate a topic, and you can use that to dismiss something or to make it seem more powerful

Lead-in gags like this one work for the same reason why people find Dark Souls' (et al) world building so compelling. Great hat here too.

The more I revisit the N64 through replay series like the Ultra 64 podcast and @jeffgerstmann.com's most recent science project, through the homebrew scene, and just replaying things on OG hardware it becomes much more evident that so much of its lasting charm is from being Limitations: The Console.

It's usually "hoagie" and "mischief night" that pinpoints my location to a 20 mile radius, but to say that the closest places that sound like me are Boston and New York City is insane.

Going to a taping of his show in the spring of 2010 (I just knew him as The Guy From 20/20, not as this big libertarian) was such a surreal experience. I took the Amtrak up and back from Philly, was way too overdressed for it, and was the only person who had their question from the Q&A dropped.

"the graphics have caught up with our imagination" is intended as a compliment but is inadvertently damning of the whole project. Yeah, the imagination of Halo no longer exceeds a high-resolution tree. Cool.

The original Halo presented an alluring and mysterious setting that combined alien ruins with Pacific Northwest-inspired natural grandeur, but the level of detail back then simply hadn't yet caught up with the imagination. That's resolved here, with a gorgeous visual update that makes the whole campaign pop with excitement.

Tom Hart's Brian Eno comic from Tower Records Pulse! magazine (March 1996) has remained one of my favorite things for 30 years.

Brian Eno comic

1. Brian Eno in a yellow conical hat laying on a beach: "Brian Eno examines the reconfiguration of pebbles and shells that the waves leave behind."
2. Eno, now playing a cymbal with a tape recorder near by: "He is on a beach with a cymbal and a tape recorder."

3. Eno crashing his cymbal at the waves, "He tries to approximate the waves with his cymbal each time they rush to shore."

4. Eno, laying down over his pebbles and shells, looks off panel at the next panel.
5. A green alien dinosaur-like family of three is looking at their own cluster of pebbles and shells, "A native family near by is also examining the pebbles."

6. Eno stands up over the pebbles, looking towards the family again.
7. The family continues playing on the beach around the pebbles and shells, "He longs to ask them -- but he is embarrassed. This is not his planet."
8. Eno looks up at a crescent moon and stars in the sky, "Night time falls with night sounds and night smells."
9. Next to his cymbal and tape recorder Eno spins, "Brian Eno chooses to spin."

Entering new and exciting ways for Google to destroy their core product. Exactly what I wanted, no notes.

An AI overview from Google based on the query "KC game" with text stating that the Royals are currently playing the Mets tonight. It goes on to say there's a scorecard showing the live score of the game, but instead there's just a JSON snippet with a single team's name ("the New York Mets") and a timestamp. There is no score.
