A company born from demoscene wizards, which built the Unreal Engine, which would render absolutely insane graphics (for the era) with 32mb of RAM and 4mb of VRAM:

Stephen, your ability to wake up every morning and not kill yourself is both impressive and disappointing

In 2004, a German demoscene group released a game called .kkrieger. It was a full 3D first-person shooter with dynamic lighting, textures, sound effects, music, and monster AI. The entire executable was 96 kilobytes. Instead of storing images and audio files, they wrote C++ and Assembly that generated the 3D meshes, textures, and sound waves mathematically in RAM when the game booted. Today, a single website's "Accept Cookies" banner is 10x larger than that entire 3D game.

It’s genuinely creepy how big MAGA accounts operate. They behave like bot swarms receiving top-down orders to suddenly say the exact same things all at once. It feels super unnatural and incredibly manufactured. I really think theres nothing comparable on the left.

Watch MAGA X invent a scandal about James Talarico in real time. For four days they teased it and built up to the big day. Paxton called him "missing." Spencer Pratt's "sources" put him in a mental health facility. Then, at 1:05 pm, Nick Sortor posted that an Ohio mental hospital "confirms" Talarico was discharged. 50 accounts pushed the claim within 20 minutes. Those posts have 9.3 million views. The white dots are copy-pasted posts. There are 605 of them. One account posted the same text 83 times in under 2 hours. The hospital says Talarico never received treatment there. Talarico says he's never even been to Ohio. This story eventually even made it to MSM. This is MAGA manufacturing an alternative reality in real time. Full breakdown with the data here: xitter.cf/theGhostOfRiel/status/… I pay for this data myself. If you want more of these, support links are in my bio. @jamestalarico @TeamTalaricoHQ @krassenstein

Steam consistently hits record high player numbers. people die of old age without completing a tenth of their backlogs. there are near endless pc gaming communities that tell you to kill yourself to choose from. the true winner of the console wars the last 20 years is the PC

imo the problem with "vibecoding" is not the perception of code as art but rather the barrier to entry for making a "working" product being lowered to the extent you don't even have to look at any of the code, creating innumerable consequences for security and maintainability
camo camo !@camocamo_dOct 8
am i evil for thinking hate for LLMS in coding is really performative . ai art is bad because art without human intent is no longer art ... code is not an art form , at least not in my eyes, so why get so mad about its presence if it works just fine

We will never see this level up in graphical advancement again. The ps1 - ps2 was insane for games. Literally 3 years apart.

I do wish people understood that the prose is everything. There is no story “beneath” the prose. Cartesian dualism does not exist for books. There is no distinct soul of a book that can be separated from the body its prose. The experience of reading the language IS the novel.

Just heard choosin’ Texas for the first time in my life at a bar and this song fucking sucks. Southerners should be lobotomized and forced to work in the salt mines like they were supposed to after the civil war

genuinely hate how in every area of life, Americans have to stand guard to protect themselves from being scammed because our institutions are rotten. buying a car, going to the dentist, even the most mundane activities could wreak financial havoc if you’re not on high alert

went to the dentist in the spring, guy tells me i have 8 cavities and it's going to be $2k out of pocket to get em fixed. i got two of them filled. went to a new dentist yesterday, guy says I have 0 cavities and that he's not trying to do more work than i need. cool profession
