iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I saw this back when it first came out and seriously considered importing a copy, even if I could never play it.

Now, now, I'm sure they'll all act like well adjusted adults and not make every slight in their relationship a political outrage that implicates every leftist and/or onion reader.

I went directly from this to Cyberpunk 2077. Combat starts out annoying and confusing, but invest in intelligence points and you quickly gain the ability to make people's heads explode and blow up cars with your mind. Also, lots of nudity and general poor taste. Bugs in the base game seem fixed

Steam Frame will probably be my backup should PSVR fully completely die forever, as expensive as it is. I was in the market for an electric car and opted to buy an on-paper worse one because of what happened with twitter.

Recommended Condemned to a coworker looking for a scary game years ago. He picked up Condemned 2 used at gamestop. Next shift he was like "yeah.... that was too much."

Finding Phantom Liberty to be relentlessly dark (literally can't see frequently) and dour. Lots of criticisms I read about the main game apply more to the DLC. Also very longwinded and you can't skip dialog often. However, it's nice to finally feel tested in combat with high level specs.

Yeah, we're probably a year or two from local models (or already there) that don't utilize infinite copyrighted material, rendering what these corporations did both wildly (even more) unnecessary and irresponsible.

After seeing what my wife has been able to accomplish with Claude, my AI stance has shifted to "get it while you can." This will not be allowed to continue, but I'm betting the apps we make now will still work after the coding fairy gets nerfed.

I've only lived in this state and can't see what others see, but the feud seems rather unique. It's not "which team is better," it's "which team sucks less" when both teams have achieved historical levels of suck. And that's before the Cardinals get involved.

Acting is like water skiing. When I see other people do it on TV, it looks easy. When I see a normal person try it, I realize that it is not.

I live near a rural Chevy dealer and there's not a doubt in my mind they would do whatever they could to avoid selling me this car. Even if I ordered one, I'd expect some attempt at a last second switcheroo.

My personal opinion has shifted from "I don't think we should be so dependent upon it" to "get it while you can."

Ron Heck @ronheck.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Not a fair or direct comparison, but I draw parallels to VR, tech that I do like quite a bit. Can do 5 or 6 game genres extremely well and transformatively. What about social networking? No. Video conferencing? No. Mobile computing? No. But just making cool games isn't enough to justify the cost.

And if my assumption on investor interest is correct and that they aren't on board if it can't do literally everything, then AI might not be here to stay and we'll be wistfully remembering the good old days of automated coding and spreadsheets in a decade.

Ron Heck @ronheck.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I'm of two minds on it. What Claude can do is really impressive, but so many (maybe all other) AI applications just suck out loud and they get lumped together. If Claude's coding breakthroughs were all the AI boom was going to bring us, investors probably wouldn't have gone all in.

I think you were right to react the way that you did. It's subjective and I wasn't there, but the way it's presented feels correct. What if the next woman has a gun? What if the next woman is accompanied by a man itching to use his MMA training? Verbal reaction should be both expected and preferred.

I've developed this incredible skill in the latter half of my life. I call it "not compulsively weighing in on everything". Highly recommended.

These attacks on trans youth are nothing short of a war against all human rights. We will not shirk in our duty today or any other to fight back against this egregious, dehumanizing injustice. Our children deserve to live, to breathe free, and to be who they are. And they will. We'll see to that.

We all have phases. I remember seeing the Atari Jaguar on a shelf at EB Games and asking my dad for one. "No son, I don't think so."

(Casual fan who has read three or four of his books) Stephen King's horror material is mostly interested in how normal people handle tragedy. The more adaptations stray from that, the less they resemble his work.

Feels like (where I live anyways) republicans have held a monopoly on the idea of real world practicality my whole life. Seems like that might finally be coming to an end. And with bluesky existing, that's saying something.

Still playing, must be a pretty good game. Did the side quests for the characters I like (Detective Milli Vanilli can solve his own case), so going to do the DLC before wrapping up the story. Main quest goes by surprisingly quickly. Dark, but not as nihilistic as I was led to believe.

Every time I pick up a bowling ball, dart, or pool cue "Sure I've never been good at this, don't practice, and haven't played in over a decade, but maybe this time will be a perfect game for no reason."

Good point. I suppose I expect this scenario to happen eventually. AI video isn't really strong enough to produce something convincing of this length now, let alone a few months ago. My own confirmation bias.

Ron Heck @ronheck.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Just looked really fake (even though the actual attack was accurate to what other bison videos look like) the periphery elements of the screen shift and change the way AI video does. Guy moves out of frame and a similarly colored tent is there instead.

I was told this situation was completely different because she's so much more famous. I conceded that they probably knew better than I did, which is something a mad person online never wants to hear.
