GTA VI is rated M for Mature 17+ by the ESRB for strong sexual content, nudity, intense violence and other mature themes. Peekhole is a fictional in-game parody of OnlyFans shown in the game's promotional trailer, not a real service or promotion to players. esrb.org/ratings/41627/… gta.wiki/w/Peekhole

The iPhone Duo side bar needs a major rework. Other than that and waiting on developers to update their apps to support the duo formats, I am loving my duo so far. Typing feels great. Let’s see if it lasts the honey moon phase.

Restaurants using AI pictures of food should be illegal… also, AI should only be used to make pictures of me buff

Introducing ChatGPT for Dishwashing GPT-6 achieves state-of-the-art results on dishwashing benchmarks for long-running jobs and difficult stains. The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem is a $1 million challenge about whether the equations describing fluid motion can break down. In this video, I accidentally found a counter-example while trying to optimize my dishwasher. But in reality, OpenAI used 10,000 AI agents to find a proof in 88 hours: openai.com/index/navier-stok… Parody of the original GPT-6 Astra ad @OpenAI #ChatGPT_Partner #chatgpt Credits: Written and Directed by Joma Co-Writer - Henry Connor Coan IV @coan_henry Production by Dauntlus Studios @dauntlus.studios Producer/Co-Director - Marcus Liew @dauntlus Camera Operator - Amos Lee @amoselijahlee Art Director - Alethea Soo @aletheasoo Art Assistant - Alicia Lim @aliciatkl_ Assistant Editor - GPT-6 Astra Music: Tensions Run High by Soundridemusic youtube.com/watch?v=Ly9H63SL…

I've spent the past month converting my game MineMogul to use Box3D instead of PhysX. Here's the FPS difference on a few different save files that players sent me. FPS has roughly doubled, and the physics simulation is more realistic.
I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/06/anno…

Opus 5 test with a first-person shooter prototype, one shot. Took like 1.5 hrs It not only created the entire game but also spawned bots to play in multiplayer. Flight mechanics may be under-tuned, but... It's easily the most powerful model of all time full stop.

Inventory systems are easy... (Until you also need to handle the UI and have everything cleanly communicate with each-other and have networking involved)

Without knowing the numbers, and even putting aside how emblematic id Software is: it's hard to understand how a 200-ish people studio maintaining relevant custom technology (& shipping games) isn't perceived as a gold mine of talents. I hope they can regroup as a new entity.

Absolutely tragic. You put all your eggs in the wrong basket. Marathon is boring. It is the wrong direction for bungee. Destiny needs to be brought back and brought back to its former glory.
