jana: so you know the thing you think of as a mushroom? that's actually just the reproductive organ of the real organism. this four-pack of sugar free redbull is basically the same thing, but for the organism that is the redbull brand 14 year old grocery store employee: it's still shoplifting, dude

Genuinely, this completely rules

－Recently, the game has been going viral on X for its beautiful undressing animations. I’ve even read in one of your previous interviews that the development team practiced stripping themselves as reference for the undressing animations. What was the process behind making the animations actually like?

Matsui:

I’d love to know how far that story has spread. It’s true.

First, we write a plot for each undressing scene, then draw storyboards, exactly as the original team did. Then the real work begins, because the animation is essentially all keyed by hand. A designer moves the clothing’s 3D model, frame by frame, manually. It really is pretty much like the claymation method I mentioned.

We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

Then VR adds its own weight. In a normal game, if something becomes awkward, you can cut away or swap models between scenes. In VR, the player can look from any angle at any time, so none of those tricks are available. The same model has to undress convincingly no matter where you’re standing. When I described this to a designer at another studio, he said, “I would never do that.” I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.

And then, yes, the part you’ve read about. The undressing motions themselves use motion capture, but the deeper problem was that nobody actually knew the correct rhythm and order in which a person takes off clothes. So, the directors gathered and undressed themselves as reference. “That zipper is coming down too fast.” “She’d pause once before slipping her shoulder out.” These were serious, sober discussions. For compliance reasons, the Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns team works in a walled-off section of our office – and that was the moment those walls truly earned their keep.

It makes me sad to find out that rationalists are often familiarly referred to as "rats" because I really like rats. They are very cute and intelligent and it is adorable to watch them eat a sunflower seed from their little hands. Show me a rationalist you can say any of that about

we either matter enough to blame for a loss, and so also matter enough to deserve to be equal partners in the democratic coalition, or we don’t matter at all and cannot be blamed for whatever we do or do not do. it’s democrats — not us — who have to make up their minds.

If these right-wing Dems win then they’re gonna use this as a reason to turn the ratchet on us as tight as it goes with bipartisan support and it will take us decades to regain that ground, if we ever do; if they lose, uh, everything stays really bad still. Not great man

Good thread. I do think it's interesting that it's been a while since I've heard anyone related to the rationalists invoke Roko's Basilisk. Seems like they tapped out that particular bogeyman / people made enough fun of it that they gave it up.

So much is more easily understood when you realize that the UK frequently says "class" (a role inhabited by people who match a set of criteria) when it means "caste" (an inalterable brand based on arbitrary criteria set by the dominant caste, assigned at birth).

My somewhat contrarian take on this is "good." It sucks for the residents of DC and northern Virgina, and of course for performers and artists deprived of a venue, but the seeming only other option at this point was for the Center to turn into something depressing and unrecognizable.
