The average liberal isn't even aware of the fact that low unemployment is necessary for capitalism to function (something basically every economist agrees on.) They're allowed to see it as some moral failure, which oh-so conveniently proves what they already believe about (most) trans people.

It really is the most Valve thing ever to have one of the biggest patch notes pages I've ever seen, and like two thirds down, in small text, casually mention they've added another 25,000+ voice lines to the game.

Especially sucks cause every cool comp sci person I ever met says their favorite part was working collaboratively with others to solve complex problems. Then AI happened and all those cool people either lost their jobs or become kinda unbearable to be around.

You do know your way around the realm of visual juice. Years back I was also doing an df line work texture. It was for VRchat so I was trying to keep all the line work to be pixel perfect. The results were great! My method was just to use a layer fx in photoshop to make the texture.

"with Claude, we will no longer need lightly stoned weirdos who work at record stores because they are neurodivergent as hell and some band you've never heard of but is about to change your life is their special interest" these tech bros really hate anyone who was cooler than them in high school

This is why I'm always so skeptical of comp sci people who are into AI for coding ngl. Like... I can't understand people being OK with code they don't personally fully understand how exactly it works unless they don't really care about what they're making.

being in animation, its not from AI. the streaming bubble bursting cuz everyone hopped on the grain cuz it undermined unions, less regulations and more mergers are what lead to the loss. AI is just what people think but it started way before that

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.

Better patent the TV that extracts money automatically from your bank account if it senses you're not paying attention to commercials.

I think the hope is to be able to find the point where the cognitive dissonance is unavoidable and forces a perspective change, as how it works frequently for growing as a person. But you need to reliably be able to convince people that they aren't superior to someone else for whatever reason.

I can tell how bad Google is tracking me by the fact I haven't touched SC2 in 15 years and just now they recommended me a 1 hr 30min + competitive SC2 analysis video that got me super tempted to watch it. It's gross. Let me discard my addictions, assholes!
