iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I mean, I'm pretty cool and I look like someone rolled a severed thumb around in a lint trap and then paid a witch to turn it into a Midwestern dad.

I hate to be a scold, but I really wish we could move beyond calling people ugly for political reasons. The fact that Michael Tracey looks like an R Crumb drawing of a greasy pervert is literally the least objectionable thing about him.

What a wild era when Crazy Castle could be a half dozen different licensed games, while the SNES and Genesis would take one IP licence and make two games of completely different genres.

I feel like I'm missing something with the Control Resonant combat tuning, because the game is largely quite easy so far, with the extreme outlier exception of side missions where you have to defend a stationary object against enemy waves.

No matter how sophisticated the software gets, it seems fundamentally unable to lead the viewer's eye around the image in the way a human artist can, often unconsciously.

The pop country people being enraged that nobody cares about their capture of a cultural institution with fading relevance seems like a metaphor for American conservatism in general.

It could use a folk song interlude and a stronger POV, but structurally it's mostly there since they finally gave up on the plots making any sense at all.

I'm always talking about how I want an American Izo (the anti-war Takashi Miike film about a historical samurai who fights everybody across time in an oneiric purgatory) and I'm sad to say that the closest we have appears to be Resident Evil Retribution.

Control Resonant isn't blowing me away yet, but there was a side mission with a moral choice where the "good" option (that is also more in character for the protagonist) may have locked me out of some content, which is a really good way of doing video game moral choices.

Is the perpetual lack of negative space a side effect of AI generated images being from static, or is everyone who uses the technology just hooked on maximalism?

It really seems like the goal of AI is to foist the negative externalities of being super rich upon the population at large.

I feel like the game is harder that way too, since you mainly get health from enemies. Gotta plow ahead like a modern Doom game.

I can't believe I only discovered that a Begotten 4K remaster is in the pipeline because I noticed the movie had upcoming showtimes on Rotten Tomatoes. Who's up for confronting their old haunted VHS tapes in the multiplex?

Probably. It's very gory, but relatively light on spooks and jump scares, aside from a brief bit early in the remake.
