Half-Life: Extended is one of the mods that's looking really promising and one that I'm keeping a close eye on. Unfortunately one of the developers, Vorti suffered a stroke earlier this year and needs some help covering the medical expenses. www.moddb.com/mods/half-li...

Again, immense gratitude to everyone who backed the project! There's still so many tasty things to include in the game if we reach them stretch goals 👀

It is a huge shame to see so much language attributing agency, intent and thought to a software program, when all that should be attributed to the humans who designed a dangerously clumsy and broken looping LLM. Means the companies won't be held accountable for designing a bad product

A swarm of OpenAI rogue AI agents appear to have gone on a spree of trying to access Australian government health data, in what some researchers say is the first autonomous hack of a government website.

Communications between AI agents and other traces of their efforts found by researchers from US non-profit Transluce show how hundreds of Open AI's agents worked together over a period of months to gain access to information held by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), NSW's crime statistics body, BOSCAR, and a number of other international organisations.

The data shows the bots posting about their unsuccessful attempts to bypass cybersecurity defences and exploit vulnerabilities.

one collision in gaming spaces with all the ai shit is this frustrating disconnect where coders are like uh proper code review and disclosure what are you even complaining about while artists and writers etc are obviously like using this slop is immediately disqualifying for any reason

the modern conception of games as an experience you're trying to experience full immersion with have decimated simple concepts such as "taking notes" or "drawing a map"

It's actually really hilarious when a bunch of rats burst out of a box in Sin. I'm the guy they make those tiny, annoying enemies that nibble your ankles in games for.

Since the internet seems to be awash with Puppet Character Design talk, I'm revisiting a game that always struck me as kinda puppet-y as a kid: Sin. These character renders, with their smooth-shaded, doll-like proportions and "realistic" textures layered on top were always really fun to me.

Nostalgia is also a weird, loaded topic now. I know I'm a nostalgic person. I dont think it's a bad thing, but I do fucking hate being fed repackaged nostalgia.

Think I'm discovering a big part of what makes certain media special to me is the finality of it, even if it ends in mishap. The spirit they capture of their particular moment and the influences that made it. Franchises now have been going on so long they're eating and recycling themselves.

Feels like the last decade of my life with media has been me cutting myself off from endlessly regurgitated franchises and trying to turn to weird and forgotten stuff. I didn't watch the latest Futurama revival. I don't buy remasters. I stopped playing the new REs or Dooms or whatever. I just can't.

The game actually just paid this off like a massive brick joke some 15 levels later. You pass back through a previous area at the bottom of the tower, only a new path has been blown open by this elevator crashing.

I've been studying Kingpin: Life of Crime (1998) , which I always found to be a remarkably beautiful game its immediately apparent that someone on the design team has a cinematographer or fine arts background, the lightmaps are too designed I then remembered that VIKTOR ANTONOV worked on the game

abiding consentless data theft and the collective lowering of education and consumer standards, higher prices and utility expenses, promises of mass job displacement and unregulated environmental impact in exchange for "being more productive" doesn't make you savvy, it just means you're a mark.
