GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

DOC'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine

So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

LOL att folk hyllade Maria Corina Machado för att hon är en kvinna!

Hon är pro-Israel, pro-Trump OCH stöder USA:s militära intervention i sydamerikanska länder.
Hon är med andra ord en farlig reaktionär. Glöm inte att fiendens fiende inte är vår vän. Kvinna eller man.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

"And you could say, Well, Dr. Martin Luther King, I've always wanted to meet you. What was your day like today? What did you have for breakfast? And he comes back and he talks to you. How cool would that be if we have a series of historical figures that we all could agree on, that we respect?"

En av de subtila förändringarna i Sidas direktiv ang distribution av bistånd var från "grön hållbarhet" till "grön tillväxt"

Dvs subtil i ord, men inte i effekt.

Sverige ökar utsläppen. Men investerar i gigekonomi i Ghana där mopederna laddas med smutsig el och används för att frakta europeiskt skrot. Det är vår miljösatsning. Mycket bra reportage i Aftonbladet.

Fashy Cinemasins

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Paraphrasing something I think I remember @shaunvids.bsky.social saying: "They once made an identity of their hobby, but aren't enjoying it like they used to, so they want to believe it's because somebody's making their hobby worse, not because they themselves changed."

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 21h

That's what really bothers me, those fashy youtubers do such a disservice to their audiences, and it works because in keeping them angry and feeding them new nontroversies with their outrage content mills, they're keeping them engaged. But it's doing something lamentable to them in the process.

I love how the big news on Trump’s tariff announcement is how moments before he made it a bunch of people made insanely profitable shorts on crypto, a thing that Bitcoin Bros are all astounded to see happening in a completely unregulated market of a fake currency primarily used by criminals.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

JUST IN: An anonymous trader opened massive crypto short positions just 30 minutes before Trump’s tariff announcements yesterday.

They made an estimated $192M in profits.

Donald Trump needs to go to jail. He is thief, he is literally robbing people internationally.

He announced 100% Tarrifs on China and sends the US stock market into a death spiral.

At the same time someone put over 1 Billion dollars into crypto with orders for 100 million being placed on Ethereum and Bitcoin and other crypto currencies across the board whilst markets got wiped after what he said. Billions, and I mean fucking billions got wiped out, whilst Bitcoin had it a biggest dip ever in a single candle losing 20k per Bitcoin, Whilst alt coins lost over 60-70% of value, everyone with leverage on the market with even 2 x leverage got murdered and robbed.

This was co ordinated, this was market manipulation with one anonymous wallet making over 200 million dollars in one day with trades showing that they knew Trump was going to announce this and crash the market.

Whenever you hear a tech CEO spinning out *absolute fucking nonsense* using star trek language, some of what you're hearing is a screeching positive feedback loop between him and the crackpots he's spending all of his time listening to.

Some of whom he literally created.

Så tröttsamt med de här högersossarna som blockat vänsterpolitik i decennier. Borde inte ens finnas något som heter "högersosse". Är man höger finns det lämpligare partiet att gå med i. Sällan man hör vänster som går med i Moderaterna, men högern jojnar gärna S.
