Tried running NG2 Black again on the BC-259 and man, this shit barely runs. Thankfully, the newest versions of Xenia Edge no longer have the weird crashes in NG2 on Linux, so I can run that at 1080p without a hitch.

one aspect regarding retro gaming scenes that genAI has been blazingly efficient at is in trust erosion whether it’s fan TLs, FPGA cores, or recomp scenes, within the past year so much optimism and excitement regarding new projects has been swiftly replaced with doubt and suspicion thank you genAI

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading.

What do you think when you hear that?

The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?

That’s my question for you.

Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does.

But there must be some set of skills that matter.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those.

There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.

Why weren't the Sams in Serious Sam: Shatterverse just the Sams from the various games? You have ostensibly OG Sam and Random Encounter Sam, but the rest were made up for the game. I feel like if you're gonna do the multiverse thing, why not have the Sams from the actual games?

Someone on Twitter put it, "modern catholics have replaced real theologians with Tolkien and Lewis and now fantasy written for children is treated as extended canonical parts of the bible."

The #WSJ has been told to open a new front in the culture war: “Greta Gerwig believes God is a woman. At least, she believes God in the fictional universe of Narnia sounds like Meryl Streep, who will voice the Christ figure Aslan in Ms. Gerwig’s upcoming adaptation of ‘The Magician’s Nephew.’”

got excited about someone making open source engine ports of tie fighter, XvT and alliance only to jump on their discord and see that the developer is proudly being "assisted by AI" and refuses to disclose it. cool.
