in case you're tempted by the deep discount on rockstar games at the moment, here's your reminder that they're currently actively allegedly union busting and also their games on steam require the fuckass rockstar launcher

can not recommend the resident evil 7 vr mod, unfortunately the amount of involuntary head movements in it are quite horrible

Marketing rarely wants their brand to be controversial like that. The saying that "all PR is good PR" is not something any serious marketer believes.

Keep bullying the brands promoting AI. They will stop.

i'm looking at bicycles and since i haven't owned one since childhood i was looking up sizing,
one website told me that a 29inch mountain bike will be good for people between 5.6 and 6.6 inches tall, can any American confirm?

ohhh lovely,
godots (godot editor and project management program)
on the AUR is now orphaned, went to check why and turns out the dev is using AI garbo which the maintainer of the AUR version, rightfully, does not want to be associated with -,-

back to the good old way it is i suppose

quake 2 original crashes on start up

the modernised version is beautiful and runs silly well

It also misses a HUGE opportunity for dev whimsy.

I remember working on Magic: Duels and badly photoshopping tropical print shirts onto placeholder planeswalkers key art while waiting for the full-res files to come in. Because, y'know, we wanted it to be VERY OBVIOUS it wasn't final
Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

RIP to this project

i've been building pc's for over 15 years and still i fuck up bad 😅
killed my os, actually managed to kill both my linux and my windows install on different drives at the same time
didn't have this project backed up
so it's gone all gone
set up the inventory system!
took a long time but i learned a ton about UI and data management in Godot, very worth it.

(not gonna get into details, because if i learned anything in the research for this, its that people will never agree on how to do any of this "correctly" ^^ )

i've got a lot of pain in my neck radiating into my arms since friday, today the pain's gotten worse and my arm has gone numb at work, forcing me to leave and come here

"oh that sounds like an orthopaedic issue, here's a sick note for today and a referral"

thanks for nothing you wankers

Ah, browsing the internet and stumble across... whatever this is😟

Why use the actual key art in the press kit when you can bash some pish together with AI instead, eh? 🫠
