Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

A drab pop art painting of a sinister man driving a car, watching a stoic blonde in leopard print fur. The proportions of the guy's face are off

The original image, from Girls' Romances 78 by Tony Abruzzo. The guy has a more sinister leer, while the woman has heavier mascara and feels both sadder and more determined. A caption reads "I vowed to myself I would NOT miss my appointment -- that I would NOT go riding with him--yet before I knew it..."

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

One of the things I like about Portal is that it's premise ties into the unfamiliarity the player will have about the future world it presents. The protagonist has returned from a decades-long interstellar voyage in cryogenic storage and everything has changed from the world they knew.

A scan of the fold-out map included with the game from the Museum of Adventure Game History website showing a map of Earth divided into World Administrative Regions such as SovSec, European, Calmax, Pacific. Huge administrative and governance blocks with actual countries largely vanished. Presented as an in-universe document.

Before Portal, there was, well, Portal. Activision's 1986 'computer novel' is one of the examples of the kind of entertainment software being developed for the Commodore Amiga in its first year. High concept, artsy, and tapping into the creativity-focused marketing for the computer.

A scan of the box from Mobygames, with an almost completely glossy black cover and the worlds PORTAL and the computer novel tagline at the top. Ghost-like faces can be seen at the bottom of the cover. In the upper centre: an evocative premise.

Homer, A Biological Computer. The Final Link to the Past and the Only Conduit to the Future. But Homer is dying and access grows weaker moment by moment. Will you discover where everyone has gone or will to the doorway to humanity close forever, leaving you totally alone?

The thing about Corporate Memphis that no one every properly communicated is that the entire reason it is exists is because these studios/ad agencies try to bid the lowest number for projects to clients, giving the artists who actually make the material less and less time.

Was looking at the Silent Hill Townfall concept art and my jaw dropped. Was back in my hometown tonight so I had to go and take a photo. There are many ways to mock my beloved Coatbridge, but “your home’s so miserable it was used as concept art for a Silent Hill game” is a new one for me

Every time one of these freaks goes "guys I think our AI just gained sentience?!" they're saying very clearly just how ok they are with slaves, how little moral consideration they give to other actual humans. This is why they are, not coincidentally, all pedophiles and sex pests. Same mindset.

Bwahaha, behold my road (and future expansions in) to Nowhere! A somewhat dirty exploit whilst chasing the official city classification that never came and seeing if or when the resources stopped being counted.

Building a road (and industial zone tiles) off of the player area and into the void beyond the usual boundaries

Road stretches ever on and includes a sibling commercial development off the corner too

Once I got the hang of transforming my defense buildings on the day of an attack (let alone building multiples for support) my burgeoning town got ever closer to becoming a city. Definitely needs a 'spotlight' or something during nighttime so you can keep working as cant mitigate with a monitor even

Didnt realise you have to select the building, click on tranform and then order them to attack (was waiting for the tutorial agent to mention anything about that) so wildfire strolled in and cooked my town hall the first time 😵

Hoping I've built up enough resources for the upcoming wildfire battle. Not sure if the fire station transformer can only move on roads. Fingers crossed ive joined them all up (an x ray/layer function would be useful)

There’s so much richness and detail that’s completely lost in these kinds of translations, and even if human editors then go through the MTL scripts, that nuance is already gone. Don’t support trash, low effort attempts by individuals who only care about being the “first” to get a translation out.

What are 4 videogames that you think about replaying the most? QTP with your 4. 🎮

The famous Dreamcast massive multiplayer online role playing game (a first for consoles) Phantasy Star Online. Showing a colourful collection of stylised characters; Robots, elves, and humans in all manner of science fiction, rave and worship garb

Ghost in the Shell for the Sony Playstation (One) featuring a red crab/teapot esque machine with the lid partially raised to show a purple haired and clothed woman giving us a hard stare. There's a dual blue soundwave line across the cover.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, for the PC, showing a giant Flea esque creature dubbed a 'Siltrider' designed for (instant) travel between cities

The very first 'walking simulator', that sold so much it was bundled with Computers and almost became part of DisneyLand/World, MYST. Cover shows the silhouette of a man falling from a cloudy sunny sky towards an Island. It has various odd structures, a rocket, a observatory, a Pantheon, and others obscured by a forest, all rendered in cutting edge, early 90s Polygons
