makes sense, from start to end of my teenage years I played Final Fantasies 7, 8, 9 and 10 as they came out. that kind of thing is gonna warp you into being dependably nostalgic if nothing else. if the only contemporary FF I got to play was 15? that couldn't warp me, I'd be normal and well adjusted.

finally found this tumblr post expounding on how stupid owls are piraticoctopus.tumblr.com/post/6741867...
elodieunderglass I can confirm that most birds have a detectable amount of wiring behind the eyes - blinking lights and buttons and sliders and frizzy things that spark and chirp and beep. They also have a lot of soul that can communicate with ours because the programming is fairly compatible. Vultures are clever and curious, swans are clear and lawful, chickens have a lot of personality, caged parrots are dissociated and disinherited and frankly worrying, falconry-trained birds of prey are tremendously businesslike. And owls are absolutely lovely beasts with their own irreplaceable validity. but they are basically stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have one button, like a child’s toy dinosaur that opens and closes its mouth when you press the back of its head. And it isn’t even a sophisticated electronic button it’s just a lever that rocks back and forth to make the claws open and close. I think they may have actually evolved independently from sponges. Their skulls simply exist to create holes that funnel sound and light, and as a place to hang a giant hinged beak. An owl is just an empty tube like a windchime that the wind whistles through, and you can drop meat down it. They use the meat to generate feathers, and then emit the bones in pressed little packages like those machines that flatten a penny and stamp it with the logo of a theme park. I think that’s the gist of it - most birds are electronics of varying levels of sophistication, but owls are just a system of levers and pulleys. No elevator music in those skulls, just the wind echoing through empty caverns of slightly irritating design. Absolutely fantastic.

Right, so video game company stocks are crashing because the power of AI supposedly renders them irrelevant. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Oracle stocks are crashing because they spent too much on AI and the market knows they'll never make a return. The economy is absolutely hosed
Bluesky user shinobi602 says: "Video game stocks are suddenly crashing today with the launch of Google's Project Genie as investors think games will start magically getting made with AI" and then shows four images of stock numbers going down for take two, roblox, cd pronekt, and unity. From Fortune: "A sharp selloff in tech stocks on Thursday underscored investors' exhaustion with the "spend now, profit later" model that has propelled the AI bull market for three years. Microsoft led the retreat, with its shares plummeting 12% by noon, erasing more than $440 billion in market value, a collapse it hasn't seen since the pandemic. The Nasdaq was down almost 2% at time of writing." Also from Fortune: "The sentiment shift is not limited to Redmond. Oracle has seen its shares halved from their September highs, erasing nearly $463 billion in value. Once a darling of the AI trade, Oracle has also struggled with investor confidence that the massive data centers it is building for OpenAI will get funded eventually. Additionally, the timeline for several projects has reportedly slipped to 2028, creating a gap between the company's heavy debt-funded spending and the arrival of actual revenue. OpenAI has made about $1.4 trillion in commitments to procure both the energy and compute it needs to fuel its operations. But its revenue barely crossed $20 billion in 2025."

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Aronofsky must hate that satoshi kon died so much and now he has to come up with his own ideas
papapishu.bsky.social Chris Person @papapishu.bsky.social · 19d
Normally against "I have always hated this guy" but you can do that to Aronofsky. Always enjoyed that Satoshi Kon really politely hated him for ripping him off. animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-real-h...
Until the end of his life, Kon was a struggling director. Even after two acclaimed films, he was so unsuccessful that Tokyo Godfathers almost didn’t get funded. Is it still an homage when you’re lifting from an immediate contemporary who’s far below you in status and clout? As Kon wrote in 2001, after meeting Aronofsky: I’m feeling pathetic. It’s a pitiful tale when the person being paid homage to has less name recognition, less social credibility and less budget to spend.

“Do violent video games make you violent” as a moral panic was such a shame because it elided the position of violence in the narrative, which DOES have real implications. Playing DOOM does not make you violent, but playing COD does propagandize you into supporting the American imperial project

the Golden Age of RTS is replete with soap opera drama and melodramatic casts (Starcraft's Kerrigan and Mengsk et al, Kane in C&C, Fleet Command and Mothership and the Bentusi in Homeworld, WARCRAFT 3) and the more people try to recapture the golden age of starcraft without that, the worse it fails
