I always like how those CRT superiority posts keep using the worst connection type possible, assuming they're not faked in the first place

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

If you see 'Super Mario Bros 0.3' among some shareware and demos on an Apple II GS hard disk image, then it's something that must be immediately investigated. And oh yes, it's as cursed as I hoped it'd be.

"Reviewing an AI made translation" is like repairing a trainwreck VS building a new train from scratch. If you want the end result to be shiny and neat, you're better off just building it new from scratch.

the need for professional modelmakers for film was highlighted by Kubrick's 2001 and gave birth to the world's first (and only, for c20y) industrial modelmaking course, which i was lucky enough to get onto. a groundbreaking film in 2001 ways

Work-in-progress screenshot showcasing strange plants in the overworld. There are spindly trees coming from a big water source with even thinner branches that end in little flowers that drip dewdrops, and fern-like foliage that block parts of the map to emulate a dense forest.

I was looking up if pallas cats are fat or if they just have really long fur and the difference between their winter and summer coats almost made me throw up laughing.

Pallas cat (or manul) that is very round with a blocky head and thick tail around its comparatively tiny paws

Manul in its summer coat, looking like the size of a normal house cat with a very square head and four that is shaggy around its chest and forepaws

Man, the timelessness of Falcom's texture work during its Windows 98/XP days never fails to put me in my happy place. So clean and pristine, yet still full of character even at resolutions nobody realistically played these games at on release. Some of my favorite stuff of this vintage. 😌

Siiiigh vibe-coded recomps have come for my beloved Mischief Makers next. There's only one video up of it which doesn't show any of the 3D scenery stages, but the 3D rocks in the intro have broken textures. Emulation used to have that problem decades ago but it emulates perfect these days.
