Please ignore the MTL release of Meremanoid that came out today. We have had a hearty band at work (Chapu, Popi, Mr. Nobody, Misty, Shentok and I) working hard on an all-human patch. Fully playable in English, in it final editing pass now. Popi provided these screencaps today. More news later.

If you're in California btw blame Newsom for the issues you're about to have with any form of state government. He vetoed a unanimously passed bill to help his state workers and has triggered the first statewide labor strike in literal decades. So get ready for important shit like the DMV to close

I really resent Musk twisting cool ideas into scammy evilry and tainting them with his white supremacy, oligarchic hierarchy, anti-trans hate, etc. A set of thrusters dressed up as a car doing a kick flip could be a rad magic trick. Instead he contorts it into tedious racist scammery. Fuck that guy

This is both incredibly true and also unfortunately midterm elections matter so much more for the life of your average person than the general. What sucks is that the dem candidate in probably over 50% of dem leaning states is also throwing trans ppl under the bus and a corporate fuckwad.

As someone pointed out, yes, they delisted the original. This is now the only Shogun 2 that people can buy on Steam. Which feels like it moves beyond bad judgment into actual hostility to the previous work and the people who made it.

I was curious but ambivalent about the Shogun 2 Complete Edition thing, mostly because after playing it 2 years ago, game still looked phenomenal. So did we need this? Well, it’s out today and uh www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/c...

The Jim Crow Redeemers of the Trump administration want to do public lynchings again and they know their base will want to watch

Screenshot of two Bsky posts by me on April 15, 2025 saying,

"Hardcore MAGA's strong appetite for the grotesque facts & visuals of trafficking immigrants into a foreign gulag, of Daniel Penny, of Kyle Rittenhouse, of January 6th, etc etc should be understood as the desires of a movement that's absolutely chomping at the bit to be allowed to lynch at will again"

"In other words I don't think hardcore MAGA folks really want Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be in some Salvadoran prison either. I think they wanna be able to murder him without consequence, take selfies, maybe save some of his flesh as a keepsake, like their intellectual & often familial ancestors used to"

Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

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.

Many games for the GameCube use only a fraction of the storage capacity of the disc. I have analyzed the data to determine what the maximum number of retail Mario games that can fit on a single disc would be, creating the Luigi & Wario + Puzzle + Rhythm Maximum Value Pack.

$A GameCube disc has a storage capacity of 1.46 gigabytes. Many Mario games use only a fraction of that storage. Below is the optimal distribution of the smallest Mario-related games on the system to fit 6 entire retail games on a single disc. Unused space 54 MB Luigi's Mansion 186 MB DDR Mario Mix 264 MB Wario World 257 MB Donkey Konga 2 312 MB Donkey Konga 250 MB Please note that this pie chart is for data visualization only. If the games were in fact put on one disc, the data would be arranged in rings, not in slices. Concept for post based on an idea from a comment by @vinchvolt.bsky.social$
