If you write critically, you have to do something besides get excited. You have to examine what's in front of you. What you see is a movie industry in decay, and they decay gets worse and worse. (2001)

An idyllic fantasy town, it's mainly huts with straw roofs. It has a market, a tower, a couple of monuments and a large half wood half stone castle in the background.

as a surprise to no one, except maybe me, aion 2 is an action game masquerading as an mmo. there is a "classic" control mode, but it just doesn't gel with how aion 2's combat works. the game is gorgeous tho, even if the voice acting isn't the best. idk about the story...

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.

these games, while a huge component of how i got into gaming, were part of franchises that defined my career in the industry or helped me on my way there -- either as an influencer, journalist, or critic. the trajectory of my life would be different if i didn't interact with them at some point.

Immigrants don't just "look" Latino. The basis for the deportation surges is white supremacy, which means that they are coming for everyone who is not white. Full stop. If you're apathetic toward the mass deportation surge and are not white, you are hurting your own communities.

It makes me happy to see that leaving social media, limiting your time here, etc. is so much more normalized now. When I left Twitter early in this decade, I often felt like the only dumbass who threw away all my connections and friends. Now I feel like you can find community in wanting to quit!

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”
