War Machine (netflix) was middling.
Robot thing was great when it starts up.

Rest not so much. Opening scene you know immediately what's gonna happen there (plus the obvious link to how will later disable robot foe).

And stop with the aliens references (APC blown transaxle...) it's boring.

Nail a copy of this onto the desk of every MP. Burn the words "AI training isn’t learning" onto a baseball bat.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

TIE Fighter Total Conversion in VR with a VR controller interactable cockpit is phenomenal. God I love this game, it's so cool re-visiting it like this.

A high‑resolution overhead view of a rocky, desert‑like landscape on Mars. The surface is mostly reddish‑brown with patches of darker blue‑grey tones. Many circular impact craters of different sizes are scattered across the scene, some with raised rims and shadowed interiors. Subtle ridges, eroded valleys, and textured terrain patterns run diagonally through the image, giving a sense of ancient geological activity. The overall impression is of a dry, rugged, and heavily cratered Martian surface.

Craters, craters, and yet more craters! Our latest snapshot from Mars Express is packed full of them.

Staff journalists sacked and misleadingly replaced with AI writers A network of gaming sites has fired multiple human staff in recent days and replaced them with AI writers, complete with fake pics and biogs.

The Videogamer AI episode has blown up enough to be reported by Press Gazette.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

What an shambles. One day someone with a basic knowledge of a game beyond 'I remember that one' will remake it into something fun & enjoyable (yes, I know some good ones do exist but they're very much the exception)
