Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).

When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

Fallout 3 on the PS3 is broken in ways that require an entirely unique approach, both during and outside of gameplay. A fascinating mess.

Surviving the Wasteland (“Wasteland” in this case meaning the PS3 version of Fallout 3)

Fallout 3’s legacy is a strange one. On one hand, it’s the game that not only brought the franchise back, but brought it into the mainstream. On the other, it was shown up in terms of narrati…

With new details on the exclusivity deal, how Sony nearly missed out on exclusivity in the US, and how Xbox could've derailed it.

"Being told a video game was made with only “0.3%” LLM use is like being handed a glass of water that “only has” a single drop of urine in it. [...] I won’t feel comfortable drinking it—let alone trust you on the actual piss-to-water ratio."

As scope increases and budgets shrink, The Alters is a cautionary tale of gaps plugged up by AI, and the backlash that follows.

I reviewed Bounty Star for @ign.com. It is the most personal review I've written in a long time (maybe ever) and I'm very proud of it. It would mean a lot to me if you read it.

Full disclosure: I talk about being suicidal for two years in the opening because I had to. This one hit me pretty hard.

Bounty Star Review - IGN

This combination of mech combat and farming is equal parts compelling and tranquil.

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.
