Shittification and shareholder return
A rehash of an old thread
Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets
He had zero faith in merchants
And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline

As a Kinect reviewer back then (it made for fun videos), I still think it had its uses. However, it’s more fun to focus on the bad stuff.
Steel Battalion mechs had a self destruct button you would inadvertently push while flailing to hit the button that aired out exhaust from the steerhouse.

For better or for worse, The Xbox Kinect was released 15 years ago today.

Oh hey I wrote a song about a dog haunted by the Google Street View car, just in time for Halloween
Yes it's a niche haunting but please go listen, my daughter is doing the backing vocals (also doing ghost moves)

Remember when tools like Substance Painter or Zbrush came out and you didnt have to spend years trying to force them into pipelines or convince artists that they were good tools that facilitated new and improved methods of working on stuff?
Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.
“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

Lo Fidelity Allstars! Dancepunkey genre-mashup ahead of its time. Happy I bought it on vinyl back then, because it has the original version of «Battle Flag» from before they removed the Prince interpolation and messed up the ending.
«Kasparov's Revenge» is good:

![Disco Elysium screenshot, wherein I am extremely rude to Harry (who I would... maybe?... date? but it isn't his looks it's more that he's self-destructive and also wearing piss-stained trousers)
Dialog as follows:
MIRROR - What are you doing with your die, why is your shirt hanging open like laundry on the line...
What does it even *mean*? What is the message you're trying to convey?
YOU - I'm twenty years old. My breasts are juicy and succulent. I am a god damn verdant field waiting to be ploughed, in a *tired 5 acres and an aging mule* kind of way. I possess a certain charm.
MIRROR - That might have been true thirty years ago, but the plot is fallow and the farmer left you for a larger, newer, factory-owned operation.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Impossible: Failure] - It's too late. Like an illuminated masterpiece by the modern master Thomas Kinkade, your value isn't what it used to be. You're dusty, poorly framed, and have lost the fleeting, almost quixotic appeal you had in the 90's.
The jugs have been milked, and you're no dairy maid. You're the mule.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:di3xrpx4l3bsgmktdirfsxcv/bafkreifdv2xdx4422h4qp33def6vnxlhe7x2wevq73k2yzo2wkidapmpwu@jpeg)

Tron is such an 80s thing, it's hard to make relevant for the 21st century. It's all about arcade games and mainframes, and software that was written primarily by a single coder. The actual story of Tron is silly AF, which is one of its main joys.
But it should never have been revived.
