There's racism and there's ignorance and then there's THIS The worst Kennedy keeps going out and beating his own PB, such dedication to the suck

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Feel like I'm seeing more and more of these rally speeches where the crowd are like, "Wait, what did he just say?" and stand their silent and confused Data centers are going to make you rich! 🦗 The gas prices aren't that bad! 🦗 A birth certificate doesn't make you an American! 🦗

Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."

Criterion Channel is loaded with goodies this Halloween month. Checking out Someone's Watching Me! for first time, the TV movie Carpenter did just before Halloween. Lauren Hutton is stunning and it's shot pretty nice. A Stranger Calls x less sucky Sliver with JC doing his Hitchcock homework

A few years late to the party, but watched THE HITCHER and jfc I can see why the climax was somewhat contentious throughout development! Gorgeous looking movie, all that desert! Kinda want to see a version where they fully go for it with that ending.

This game refuses to stop being a mulchy good time I love how every mission I use like 100 bullets and 2 guns and the reward is 10 bullets and 1/2 a gun. The 3am post-club come down, walk home in the drizzle because you missed the last bus vibes are 💯

Going back to STALKER 2. Have zero clue what on earth is going on. But this really is probably the most beautiful game, just nothing but vibes all the way down

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

I don't buy special editions of games, but when I get codes for juries it's often the juiced ver. of the game. And boy do I not like the aesthetics of starting a game & being spammed with notifications of all the cosmetics/extra weapons/outfits before I've even got warmed up to this fictional world

Me: Who am I? How do I walk? Game: One sec! First: Don't forget to pop into Sal's Bar to grab your Platinum Pistol and Talking Penknife, and check your Travel Luggage for yer Crazy Frog Tracksuit. Also the bonus mission "Peeps killed my pops!" is available if you speak to Becky in the Grocery Aisle

Trying to remember if there is any precedent in France for violent student protest prior to recent immigration, nothing springs to mind, lol What a dreadful and ignorant person Sharron Davies HoL MBE continues to show herself to be

Fairly open racism and far right talking points from someone who is, last time I checked, a Conservative peer.

The vibe of work at Capcom going into RE1 described here is intense 😓 shmuplations.com/residentevil/ Also the brief, "Go copy Sweet Home & make a horror game that shows off tech but probably won't sell great because horror" is pretty funny in retrospect, also that they started with first person POV

shmuplations.comResident Evil – 1999 Developer Interview - shmuplations.comThis spooky Resident Evil interview with creator Shinji Mikami originally appeared in the January 1999 edition of gM magazine.

I know there’s chewy discourse here but I’m still tripping over 75 being a ‘small’ core team for a racing game!

GamesIndustry.biz@gibiz.bsky.social

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

Amazing to sit in a crowded NYC theater and see The Devils restored. Conflicted on how iit felt to see Ken Russell from beyond the grave spitting in the face of our current rulers. Same vibes as reading De Sade's Aline & Valcour and being like, "Damn pre-revolutionary France seems familiar"

Seeing the Director’s Cut of THE DEVILS on the big screen in a theater packed with strangers tonight was legitimately one of the most transcendent moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had in my adult life. Tonight was special and I am so lucky that I got to experience this.
