As well as this, I feel quite strongly that the increased prominence in recent years of social media influencers who engage in nothing but ragebait content and harassment has proverbially sucked all the air out of the room, content mills producing bullshit at speed who dominate gaming conversations.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

Who needs textures in Doom maps anyway? You can do a lot more with less.

A screenshot from Doom 2, of a map in progress.
All of the textures are flat colours, mostly yellow, brown, and orange on a starry sky and black ground. The scene is reminiscent of a pyramid or a temple hiding among the natural rocks and dunes.

A screenshot of a Doom 2 Megawad DIY, MAP06: Not Very Cash Money, by me.
Doomguy smiles as he stands on large stacks of large banknotes leading towards a colourful table with an odd roulette-like structure in the middle.

i should get into the list of secret but there were all dumbs. Sometime a couple had to pretend they didn't knew each other. Sometimes the secret is "i am bisexual" or "i am intersex" (this one went exactly as you imagine)

One was "i have a 140 IQ" and the guy was dumb as a sack of bricks

thought about that one french reality show from the early 2000s that was a Big Brother esque show but the twist is that each candidate had "secrets" and the other candidates had to find out what it was

Riveting secrets such as "i have adhd"

I was very disappointed but not really surprised that the movie oppenheimer left out the part that during the Manhattan project they experimented of hospitalized black workers that built Los Alamos making them unwittingly ingest radioactive product. I learned it from the french comic book 'La Bombe'

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
