iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

All 5 of those have been a good time. Secret Agent was my least favorite of the bunch, but still worth checking out.

I can see it either way. If you have a 3 minute video and 2 of it is about why the game exists and where the idea came from, that might be pushing it. 15 seconds to talk about your grandfather's farm and spending the summers there adds character.

One video I had showed the familial connection they had to the theme and what brought the inspiration out for the design and I thought that did a great job of introducing me to why this game exists which was a nice variation on the formula I usually see in round 1.

"93 per cent of residents say they're satisfied with library services." Do you know how hard it is to get 93% of people to agree on anything, let alone for that thing to be satisfaction with a government service? Libraries are freaking magic.

It’s maddening…

The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

For me I'm fine with it. I would much rather sell my games than trade them because my wish list is pretty small and my shelf is overflowing. Slimming matters more than getting something new. It's incredibly rare to get a buy offer. I don't list on the market which I'm sure would work better for me.

caterpillars.
iam not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center,
stop buying plants 'to bring in the bees and butterflies
and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that
dares to consume a single leaf
you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that
turn into butterflies! what are you doing!

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

If we plan far enough in advance, my library is only about 10-15 minutes north of Beyond the Board and has a community room. Trick is it closes at 5 on the weekends, so we would have a hard out time.

Yep. Technically speaking, very well done. Score was fantastic. The acting was very good too. Narratively, I liked the scrappy little guy at the start, but the further it went on I just hated Marty and felt no sympathy for him.

The ENTIRE POINT of The Last Jedi was to say that Star Wars cannot survive forever as a series by endlessly recycling nostalgia. If it is to continue into the future, it has to look forward to the future, not remain trapped in the past.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Safest answer is just don't rate it. If you rate it lower than a 10, then it suggests you didn't like working with the publisher or you didn't give it your all. A 10 looks suspicious no matter how true it is.

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼 CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!! www.instagram.com/p/DNG48n-IVP...

A screenshot of CGE’s instagram page:

“With the above in mind, and after many heartfelt and vital discussions both internally and with members of the affected community, we have decided to donate 100% of the profit from this game to appropriate charitable organizations. We will ensure that an amount equal to our greater than the fee paid to license this product will go directly to organizations that provide support for the trans community.

We evaluate profits and make charitable-giving decisions each December, and we will continue using this annual process to direct the games profits. We will listen to recommendations from the community to help guide our choices of organizations that provide support for the trans community. Or goal is to select those that offer direct, practical help to people in need — for example, services similar to the emergency hotline that was recently discontinued.”
