iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Shaking my fist at the sky about being made to read AI slop in important developer docs that I could have written! I wanted to write! But we slopped it!! And now it's 5x harder to parse!!

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

roughly ordered, games that formed me and/or I think about constantly: insane person version DS3 not my first Soulslike, way more ER playtime but it was where I became a sicko a strike through the middle of JA text-heavy games which made me think & feel, & I base much of my storytelling criticism on

raehik's 9 games
1. Crisis Core FFVII
2. Amagami
3. Dark Souls 3
4. Dota 2
5. Gnosia
6. planetarian
7. Labyrinth of Galleria
8. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
9. The Orange Box

Headline: Foreign secretary addresses Israel-Gaza war
Text: Miliband says Labour will stand against antisemitism wherever it finds it, and stand against those who seek the destruction of Israel.

But the foreign secretary says this "cannot justify the suffering the Netanyahu government has inflicted in Gaza and the West Bank", adding that it is a "stain on the conscience of the world".

He says to those who have been "moved and outraged by the plight of Palestinian people - we hear you, you were right".

“Under Andy’s leadership, we have reset our approach. We call out ethnic cleansing by the settler terrorists in the West Bank, we call out the evidence of war crimes in Gaza, we call out Israel’s illegal occupation of Gaza," he says.

Definitely the most interesting feature I've ever implemented. You can double click a character in the game and it will bring up its debug menu.

AI is the triumph of "code is nothing but a means to an end", which is why we in the "software engineering is a craft" camp tend to hate it so much.

I got -XOverloadedRecordUpdate to work with some stupid code and it's pretty neat! And yet horrendous to use thanks to requiring -XRebindableSyntax . still a great experiment

The agenda is being forced upon us. Even our games aren't safe.

A bright sun in a clear blue sky with bold text below stating, "They made the sun bisexual in GTA 6." The word "bisexual" is in a vibrant pink and blue design. "INFOWARS" is written at the bottom.

it is incredibly fucked up that the UK government and police consider it a much worse crime to wear a t-shirt or wave a placard with 'palestine action' on it than to block ports and attack lifeboats

Don't know what to say anymore

Protesters amassed in Gosport, Hampshire, after rumours spread that the migrants might be brought ashore by lifeboats there. Police closed off access roads to the marina as activists rallied by Thomas on YouTube arrived to attempt to block the boat’s arrival. Crowds of masked protesters confronted a line of police to chants of “let them drown” sung by a child over a megaphone.

microsoft have essentially bought up and bulldozed almost an entire american arts industry as a half-hearted distraction from their main project of trying to monopolise and rent-seek global digital infrastructure and military contracts

this is what i mean when i say ai is a rhetorical technology. functionally this is a tool for *justifying deportation*, not a tool for assessing age. when someone is pitching an ai product, don't ask them what it's supposed to do. ask yourself what it's supposed to justify
