How did I forget that the climatic fight in the movie Monkeybone had a character throwing his organs at the villain

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

I’m enjoying the newest expedition in No Man’s Sky- it’s basically a retrospective on the game and all of its major content over time, with @nomansbsky.bsky.social doing commentary about them all, sharing little stories along the way. After all the depressing gaming news today, this was lovely.

Some love for the new Ghost in the Shell! We've had so many adaptations, really fun to see a take on the original; the tank fight episode was a ride

Few hours into Control Resonant. As a fan of the original… yeaaaah I’m enjoying the fuck out of the sequel.

Finally saw Coyote vs. Acme. Yeah, it lived up to the hype for me. Already one of my favorites this year.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

Finally beat 007: First Light. As both a Bond and Hitman game, I loved everything about this game. Happy to see IO pull this off so well.

Devastated for my former GameSpot colleagues who deserve much, much better than Fandom’s (and Red Ventures’ and CBS Interactive’s) poor leadership and short-sightedness.

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

New: Researchers have quantified how easy AI search is to manipulate. Just 13 words buried in a random Reddit comment can poison AI search results. They suggest this is not easy to stop: "The way you can attack these systems is so much dumber than you think it is" www.404media.co/it-is-trivia...

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

the perfect jungle track is RIGHT THERE thanks to Uncharted 2, train and EEEEEVERYTHING

Rhys 📼@flemishdog.bsky.social

I have never forgiven Naughty Dog for not doing kart based spinoffs to Uncharted and The Last of Us like they did with Crash Bandicoot. YOU CAN CALL IT UNKARTED, THE NAME IS RIGHT THERE NAUGHTY DOG. YOU MAKE 3 GAMES AND THEN A KART RACER, THAT'S WHAT YOU USED TO DO

GET IT

I'll save you a click- it's money. Hey- remember all those celebrities who went on Fallon to talk about the NFTs (that they were gifted)? How'd that turn out?

Vanity Fair@vanityfair.com

In just the past few weeks, several major Hollywood names have been openly talking about the AI projects that they have up until this point been working on quietly. How did this change come about?

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

It’s exciting to note they haven’t figured out exactly what’s causing the hallucinations and also that it’s like CONSISTENTLY little dudes.

With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
