I'm convinced that Xbox today would be in a different place if Kinect had never become a thing. This was the point when things started to go off the rails.
For better or for worse, The Xbox Kinect was released 15 years ago today.

Nederland is ground zero van PFAS vervuiling, maar daar hoor je niks over vanuit RIVM of in de berichtgeving.

My overarching theory about AI art is that almost everyone building it assumes you have no taste — you don’t care if things are good or creative or even terrible. They think that all things need to be is THERE.
My theory is that AI art pretty much sucks

I have thought about it and I have found no overwhelming benefit to AI generated video and I think it’s only purpose is to fill up social feeds so the scroll becomes somehow more endless

Also learning from the comments that lots of people mistakenly think that hyphens are en dashes. They’re distinguished by their width; the names em and en refer to how they’re as wide as the letters m and n. (Though many typefaces these days don’t match widths exactly.)

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is out and is my favourite game of the year. It is so much like Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay with even more non-combat gameplay. I will be wrapping my PC video today or tomorrow which is also a positive story. Important info 8-10 GB cards.

Extremely angry that DLC can be nominated for awards but totally ok with games that require 3rd party launchers being nominated.
I’d rather beat Mohg lord of blood 50,000 times than try to navigate the fucking call of duty launcher
