inframan is an incredible movie but nothing could have prepared me for the insane one-two punch of the subtitler going completely rogue followed by an extremely funny boat shot

sorry to vague post because i don't want to spoil it, but UNBEATABLE did one of my favorite things that some games do late game and it's got me buzzing. i didn't think anything could dethrone DEATH STRANDING 2 for my favorite of the year, but this one is climbing up fast.

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

by far the funniest use case for AI is “I use it for powerpoints because I hate making them and nobody looks at them” because it kinda sounds like the real workflow savings would be to stop making powerpoints

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

okay, i swear to God, i'll stop ranting about AI. it's hard to do when everyone is so up their asses about it all the time, but we press on

on one hand, this is a reasonable piece that i mostly agree with, at least in terms of its thesis. however, this is another in a series of games journalist scaldings pointed at ignorant players who need to “educate themselves” as opposed to putting the onus on themselves to, you know, educating us.
Weird weekend, huh? Took a crack at breaking down the whole Clair Obscur genAI situation, and its bizarre fallout, as best as possible. My main takeaway right now is that people really need to figure out exactly what they're criticizing or it's going to get messy. www.polygon.com/clair-obscur...

when the Larian stuff blew up last week, i saw some folks trying to throw water on it by saying “stop yelling! they’re just going to lie about using it!” and this is why i don’t think that’s the case. they *have* to talk about using it because they need investors and investors are all about it.
My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

also this and the follow up. if the new movie was basically just about Varang and Quarich's fucked up drug addled situationship it would be one of those things where the racism digs itself all the way thru the planet core into being a different more interesting thing.
The biggest problem the third avatar movie has aside from the fact that its Avatar is it’s mostly just the second movie again. You’re promised a fire level after beating the water temple and they make you backtrack to the water temple to finish up a bunch of side quests.

the way film twitter types glazed the last movie was sort of understandable for a variety of still bad reasons, but the way that crowd has glossed of how insanely racist the new one is is wild. it's the "white savior" thing cranked to an unhinged level and no amount of spectacle can change that
