I like that the Ocarina trailer explicitly called out that you can hot-swap the metal boots in the water temple. Getting way out ahead of that one.

The cover for the book "Invent Your Own Computer Games: A Computer-Awareness First Book" by Fred D'Ignazio.  In the orange frame and background book, a cathode-green sphinx and a white dragon play tic-tac-toe on a board balanced on a black pyramid; the white dragon, playing X, has just lost.

Also, let's get pedantic af here: gen-ai has not done jack shit to cure cancer. Every cancer advancement in the past 5-10 years has been because of Machine Learning, and ML is a good thing, because it doesn't boil lakes, nor steal from anyone, and it (eventually) is WAY more accurate than gen-ai.

Bro! Bro. If you're not upping your game with AI by learning how to jump motorcycles over a flaming glass pit for your military base assault, you're gonna get left behind and replaced by someone else who falls into the pit and dies, bro.
“We saw in a movie how motorcycles can jump over bridges,” a former Boko Haram commander told Antonia Juelich, a terrorism and technology researcher at Cambridge University. “We used A.I. to learn how to do this. We gave it information, like what motorcycles we use and the distance we need to jump and so on, and it gave us steps on what we have to do.”

Using tips from chatbots, mechanics modified the motorcycles to allow for faster acceleration and top speed. The riders dug their own holes, filled them with broken glass and fire, and practiced jumps — sometimes with fatal outcomes — until they achieved enough aerial liftoff to mount a successful attack, defectors said.

Where are my Half-Life mappers at? Finally starting to assemble a collection of some of the game dev and level design shirts I’ve always joked about making. First one is a simple one but I think it's fun: binaryspaceperdition.threadless.com/collections/...
A threadless t-shirt preview. It is a black t-shirt with white text in a basic sans serif font. The shirt reads: csg & bsp & vis & rad, referencing the steps used to compile maps for Half-Life.
