There's a German driver named Goethe in F2 and they are pronouncing his name with an English "th", which is awful both because that sound doesn't exist in German, but also because it sounds like they're calling him "Girth-er"
This quote coming from the man who made the first Legend of Zelda smh
exercise: swap "AI psychosis" for "monomyth psychosis" because that seems to be the narrative leverage the bots default to in the process of destroying people. what does it mean that these machines produce the form over and over? what does it indicate about the cultural centrality of that template?

PELICAN DELAY IN SANTA BARBARA
holy fuck
a fucked up fact about resident evil: every single "title growl" was recorded during one session in 1995. they have a thirty year old recording of Ward E. Sexton yelling "RESIDENT EVIL... NINE!" that will almost certainly not be used in the actual resident evil nine. we persist in a doomed world
Coming out of Expedition 33 sincerely wondering if, despite the hype, it might just end up being a very forgettable game in the long run
I did enjoy it, and it might just be a case of drowning in the hype, but it never really clicked in a way that I could see it sticking with me
It's kinda wild to me how many shopping programmes there are on Japanese TV.
Major German TV channels wouldn't be caught dead airing those outside of really odd hours, but flip through Japanese TV during the daytime and like half of it is QVC-style shows
"QWERTZ? Never heard of it."
*change language to German*
"Ah eine QWERTZ Tastatur, na sagen Sie das doch gleich!"
Switched from Lightroom Classic to new Lightroom, so I am once again dealing with no one at Adobe ever considering you might use a keyboard layout that doesn't match your display language
Watching the women's ski cross and one of the Swiss competitors is called Sixtine Cousin
I wonder if the other 15 are numbered too
Racists are discoursing about how lent is the superior fasting tradition when all the real Popeheads know that it's the fakest shit ever
In Bavaria they call dumplings "little god bullshitters" because you can hide your meat in them to eat it during lent
Sorry (and I know this is the point but) what the fuck is left of sociology then
the logic of his position is that you would them abandon those issues and so on and so on until you’ve fully sacrificed a group of vulnerable americans to reactionary bullies for the sake of a percentage point (if that)
its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further
Timeline aside (these things don't happen in 3 months), it was just a large, incoherent grab bag of community complaints, some of which (like Ranked 2.0) were pretty old
The only way the roadmap couldn't have overlapped with the demands, is if they had actively avoided everything mentioned lol
As much as I'm also stoked about the direction Ubi is going with the roadmap for Siege Y11, it's so annoying seeing people go "#SaveSiege worked!"
this sequence in the U.S. women’s curling match was pure cinema
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
Not to say that it isn't a cowardly stance to take, of course. But it is cowardice, not ignorance or tone deafness
They probably know what they're saying is horse shit.
But regardless of how they actually feel, all of these people have a gun to their head. At best they would immediately be elected from the festival, at worst they would jeopardise the whole event
Seeing reactions to the quotes coming out of Berlinale and I don't think people are aware of the degree to which public arts funding has been weaponised to shutdown pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel speech in Germany
I feel like years of Marvel fatigue and that "Mario if it was AAA" video have broken peoples' brains a little bit. That Control 2 trailer only has the slightest whiff of quipyness to it and yet I've seen people react to it like they were watching a Deadpool trailer
Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen gives you a first look at Dylan Faden's supernatural abilities, the shapeshifting Aberrant weapon and Manhattan warped beyond the laws of physics.
CONTROL Resonant is out on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Mac in 2026. youtu.be/RJTBoQhWaC0

Something Big Is Happening Something Big Is Happening Matt Shumer @mattshumer_ • Feb 10 Think back to February 2020. If you were paying close attention, you might have noticed a few people talking about a virus spreading overseas. But most of us weren't paying close attention. The stock market was doing great, your kids were in school, you were going to restaurants and shaking hands and planning trips. If someone told you they were
It took just one weekend for the new, self-proclaimed king of open source AI models to have its crown tarnished. Reflection 70B, a variant of Meta's Llama 3.1 open source large language model (LLM) - or wait, was it a variant of the older Llama 3? — that had been trained and released by small New York startup HyperWrite (formerly OthersideAI) and boasted impressive, leading benchmarks on third-party tests, has now been aggressively questioned as other third-party evaluators have failed to reproduce some of said performance measures.
Keep being sent this completely nonsensical hogslop. It has multiple egregious lies, which is appropriate because he’s a fraud. Back in September 2024 he falsified a bunch of benchmarks to hype up his open source model. Article is total dogshit. I should annotate it venturebeat.com/ai/reflectio...
Also how you start off as cool underground hackers and then within a patch or so you're working for the mayor
Now that Overwatch is dropping the 2 from its name, I look forward to the release of "Counter Strike" later this year
A Japanese poster for Hundreds of Beavers, renamed Fever Beaver
I need y’all to know
Japan is going to see a release of Hundreds of Beavers soon
And they’ve called it
FEVER BEAVER
Localization is cool, actually
