Dune Awakening's story content feels like it's a punishment for ppl who asked for plot in a survival/MMO game. The level design is horrendous and the tech has some interesting side effects too.

You can tell Dune Awakening is made by D&D3E enjoyer because the character creator gives you one meaningful choice to make and out of 4 options one is objectively a trap, 2 are mid and last is the one you should pick 99% of the time.

Sweden is weird cause you show up 5 minutes late to a meeting and they're all upset but the bar says "we're closing" and they all look at you sideways for immediately standing up and picking up your stuff.

Neighbours told me "it's gonna be warm this weekend". I got hyped and then checked forecast, it's gonna peak at 24°C. Guess I forgot they were swedish for a minute.

Still waiting for my governments of France and Sweden to say _anything_ about two of their citizens, one of them an MP, being kidnapped in international waters. They can't even seem to find their special occasion pen to write a strongly worded letter.

Wait episode 7 of the last of us season 2 was a season finale? An overdone cliffhanger followed by a "please wait a couple years for the next"? In 2025? That stuff is so 90s it should have died in 9/11.

Turns out C++ mutexes and condition variables aren't moveable. Heap alloc and pointers for everyone! Value types are for losers! Hurray! 🥳

I'm amazed by how many C projects big and small today do not come with the extern "C" guard for inclusion in C++. You'd think they all do it by now.

Stalker enhanced edition is a very faithful HD upgrade. It's still a buggy mess, still crashes randomly, doesn't handle alt-tab well, simulation still runs during cutscenes so you get murdered while the camera pans around, but with 10% nicer water shader!

French government made AI slop to celebrate national day of the resistance. Check out this guy's uniform cheering with the crowd on what's supposed to be liberation day. Somehow nobody raised an eyebrow.

Ce n'est même plus de la simple falsification de l'histoire, c'est montrer la résistance qui défile à côté d'un soldat allemand. Je ne sais pas quel ministère est responsable de cette honte, mais c'est un bon exemple de ce qui se produit quand on ne contrôle pas un "travail" effectué par IA.

Ce putain de naufrage. Le gouvernement qui diffuse sur son site www.info.gouv.fr Une vidéo réalisée avec l'IA pour "célébrer" la journée nationale de la résistance. Les mecs contribuent à la falsification de l'histoire... Enfin c'est dingue on a des milliers d'images d'archive !

In hindsight Rogue One was pretty spot on in 2016 for that scene where all the leaders of the rebellion against the fascist empire are too busy to infight to agree to do anything.

I'm amazed we're burning trees and inventing new models to burn trees just so some dude can post an AI remake to rage bait ppl around the idea that some women get tatoos (which I assume is profitable somehow?). I thought capitalism was the best system to allocate resources?!

"New AI video model will make truth indistinguishable from fiction" worries society that honestly believes that vaccines cause autism, the 2020 election was stolen, masks don't help against COVID and there's a global conspiracy to make everyone a gay Muslim Marxist.
