MAKE AN ASSESSMENT

Don't worry bro, there's a homie out there for you too! You won't have to be alone and non-pregnant for long!

I'm glad Ken posts these things so the authorities and media can't just make blanket "it was antisemitism" statements as though this guy was another Nazi killing for hate. It's sad to see violence come home, but everyone with a brain knows this is inevitable. When you criminalize protest and treat people like an occupied nation, people start acting like it, and they make their voices known through stochastic violence.

Would god still love you if He were a worm?

Well, supposedly its running the original Oblivion engine to manage the gameplay and such, but piping all the graphical rendering to Unreal 5. So maybe its huge because it has 2 separate game engines? I'm sure running both of those is going to be so performant too.

Why? So they can betray you at a critical junction to claim power for themselves, or so you can betray them without feeling too guilty about it?

Because you sure as hell can't work with them on any leftist projects. They have zero desire to unconcentrate the accumulated power in Washington, only to claim it for themselves.

I think the analysts last Monday calling it the end of closed AI weren't too far off after all. It's wild too because basically no technology of any value isn't commoditized in short order, so to think they could keep a billion-dollar moat around it forever shows some incredible hubris.

I'm really excited though, hopefully getting more and more parts of the complete contemporary AI tool chain into the FOSS world will make these tools available to access and for the benefit of the majority of people.

Walkman, when the Napster fell!

(Looks pretty neat, been thinking about getting a dedicated music player again!)

TNO and TNB are both fairly constrained in locations and scope, mostly focused on action. TNC took that criticism and goes a lot farther with it. Not to spoil too much, but you get to see a little of how the occupying Nazis have alllied with the KKK to oppress people (including the KKK), and some other more up-close examples of how a Nazi regime works, and is bad.

The angle of Jewish people is explored uh... somewhat. TNO does have the level where you escape a concentration camp. Secret magic ancient Jewish technology, stolen by Nazis, is framed as the reason why the Nazis are so powerful in that universe. So that's a little... odd.

It kind of comes back to something my partner brings up. The problem with bad guys in media is that its more fun when the bad guy is cool, kind of a bad ass. Media portraying Nazis often make them very monstrous and evil, but also makes them look really cool. Starship Troopers and Star Wars both base their (very cool, very futuristic) fascists on Nazis. They're strong willed, iron jawed, smart dressing, (evil guys, totally evil!), have better tech than you, have bigger bombs than you, and so on.

This is so bad in Star Wars now that they've effectively turned a series about freedom-loving rebels vs space nazis into a red team vs blue team sports match where it doesn't matter who you root for as long as you keep buying more red/blue team merchandise.

All the Machine Games Wolfensteins (except Youngblood, whoops!) are really good. The combat can be a little grueling at times, and there's some flaws of course, but I really enjoyed them. New Collusus is surprisingly emotional and well written, while also essentially being a B-grade nazisploiltation movie.

Dying is Lynch's most complex, personal work yet. Can't wait for the 20 hour youtube explainer!

I haven't absorbed much about this release yet, but with talks of selling the company, and how massive a success elden ring is, and now this... I'm just saying, the signs are all there. ER is going to be FROMs Skyrim: so successful it destroys the good part of the company.
