I scrubbed the video for the better part of 40 minutes. Here’s the vibe. These points bounce off each other.

1. AI everything. This is aimed at investors who don’t know shit about games other than it has labor cost. Nothing novel was shown or discussed other than broad strokes of concepts which we already know about.

2. Sponsors and Ads everywhere. To remind us it’s EA

3. Creating is bad business. EA wants:

• to use AI, not artists
• fleeting interactions, not deep experiences
• sell platforms, not content
• engage algorithmically

They aspire to do to games what TikTok/Reels/Yt shorts did for video. Make it as easy to make a “game” (AI slop) as shooting a phone video. Let the algorithm bubble up addictive crap and get eyeballs on screens. Ads everywhere. Pay extra to make Iron Man a character in your 2-minute “game”

This is a nightmare and I hope they fail

This article suggests that there are a significant number of people who thought that the Lightyear movie failed because it included a same-sex kiss. How out of touch are these corpos?

Can I have that in football fields worth of Bill Gates’s paper stacks? Pic for context

Ew. Tim Pool

As a shrimp-type person, I hadn’t realized that some people dummy recognize make/model

Thats what I thought, too. I’ve only seen that movie once on like 2003 and it still lives rent-free in my head.

What?

Monetary devaluation is an economic policy Inflation is literally the “general increase in the prices of goods and services”

Amateur photographer here. For those wondering, this is aimed at a very strange segment. It’s cheap so it seems to go for beginners who want to have different prime (non zooming) options but don’t want the expense. It’s also lighter.

The problems:

• more serious photographers will want better optics and I don’t think this brand is it
• Sharing optics adds complexity to gear in terms of dust/moisture ingress *Cheap prime lenses are not that expensive. This will cost more *You’re better off with a higher quality zoom lens that covers the range of this system

1. I love this
2. is this screenshot from 2008? Bubbly messages?

So you’re saying it’s relatively slow?

It’s a bit involved to host the server but easier than most self-hosting services, in my opinion. Then there’s the audio setup which I think is super easy for digital audio folk but may be a challenge for folks who haven’t had to mess with digital audio much. The biggest thing people had problems with was turning off wifi and connecting via network cable. Reduced latency by leaps and bounds

Like I said, video was a separate device for my playing so it was kind of a non-issue. Mixing and production in OBS is way over my head.

I’m not sure if this solves your problem, but it’s an opportunity to plug Jamulus . It’s FOSS, and one of the best solutions if your target is uncompromising sound quality/latency. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do video. I’ve jammed with a band on it and was very successful. Vide was on a phone or separate machine. When we performed, video was mixed by another user using OBS, and streamed on Zoom

Worst three weeks…

… so far

Nvidia open sourced the firmware. Not the driver. We can hope

The episode aired in 1996, so it’s 28 ish year old. The meme format is Super Smash Bros Melee which came out in 2001, so that’s 23ish years old. Conclusion: feel old af

Did you get the pilot who said “we’re going to request for a close flyby”. I got that guy once and it is a lifetime memory.

This was a breaking change on YouTube’s side. You have to update to v0.27.1
