I feel like we're going to need some way of separating the parts of the internet that have been taken over by AI and the parts that are still usable. Kinda like the Blackwall from the Cyberpunk universe. If the AI bubble doesn't pop, first.

AI-generated content is flooding the internet, and we're entering a new era of information overload. Watch our latest video to find out how AI slop affects the internet and why kurzgesagt videos will always remain human-made: https://kgs.link/AISlop

In the middle, there is an AI-generated picture of a duck. Below it, there is a human-illustrated Duck, looking at the other duck in shock, and saying "Wtf is this?"

THE FREAKIN' BAT HAD COME BACK IN MY DREAMS AAAAAA

👁️ Simon Novak 👁️ Ordinary Human Extraordinaire @simonnovak.bsky.social · 1d

So I had a short dream where I was hearing noise coming from my window. When I go to look and see wtf is going on, I notice that something has somehow climbed through my window and was behind my blinds. Before I can process what's going on, bats wings start flapping out of the edge of the blinds.

Cute little mushroom vs the world!

It seems turning the pathfinding down to the absolute lowest setting (lazy) greatly improves the FPS. After testing by doing some recording, it looks like the game's back on menu for tomorrow. 🖖

God, I want to love this game so bad, but its performance is still absolutely awful. I'll have to research ways to improve it for tomorrow. Otherwise, it's onto spooky fan missions for Dark Mod!

We're gonna play it here:

I have no idea what is going on, I think my brain went into dopamine overload.

I turn my head to look at the source of the noise just in time to see a bomb hit a couple hundred feet in the distance. The explosion was huge and the shockwave that it generated was massive but apparently I was in a video game 'cause the framerate started tanking from all the particle effects?

I had the most vivid dream I had in a while last night:
Apparently I was in prison for some reason, but somebody left the door open (lmao) and I managed to sneak out.

On my way home(🤷), I was minding my own business when I hear a loud whistling, like something was falling from the sky...

I also decided to do a little stress-testing of the linux version with the beta patch to see if it'll crash.

...just expect today to be a testing stream for this game lol

Also I downloaded the beta patch for Sonar Shock and it might be not killing OBS anymore? I'm going to stream it tomorrow to see if performance is better. If not, we'll just do some horror FMs for the Dark Mod, instead.

Hello, fellow humans.

Apologies for not streaming today: I was up all night playing the Dark Mod because holy crud it's so good, so I ended up not sleeping.

Also I'm probably not going to have schedules for the month because I'm kinda gonna play it by ear.

So I decided to play some the Dark Mod today to see if any issues crop up while playing and...

That new imsim feeling I missed it so much.

Gonna stream so much of this.

After walking into my bedroom for a pre-stream nap and being hit with a literal wave of heat because we didn't guillotine a few oil execs when we should have, I have concluded that I'm going to stream tomorrow.

Otherwise it's going to lose the magic like Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines did for me.

I said I was gonna take a break from streaming this weekend to recover from 2 days straight of Doom cubed...

...but I also kinda wanna stream the Dark Mod.

Also I'm not gonna play Alien Isolation this year after all because it's still too fresh, I need some time between playthroughs.

In my honest opinion? There are things that Resurrection of Evil does better than the main campaign. Having an original idea in its grabber and not making me retch with Delta Labs is not among them lol

👁️ Simon Novak 👁️ Ordinary Human Extraordinaire @simonnovak.bsky.social · 5d

Sorry for the late start, fellow humans; I needed a nap and to refresh before I felt ready to stream. And now I'm ready to stream!

...probably.

We're gonna continue #Doom cubed here:

I'm legit sad I can't show you guys how amazing Sonar Shock is, fellow humans. It was one of my favorite games of last year from what I played of it and I wanted to share that with everyone.

Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy it by myself lul
