Fascinating. I thought tween geniuses appeared exclusively on the Disney Channel and in Nickelodeon’s Saturday morning lineup.

Well, streaming platforms reported just a few days ago that viewing numbers for Contagion are spiking.

This, pretty much. This article presupposes multiple things about Dreams and the people making stuff in it, that I see no reason to believe apply to even a significant minority of its users.

Iunno, I see this fella teaching classes and stuff these days, meanwhile Half Life 2 ain’t gonna mod itself yknow... :-P

This is a curated library.

He’s twice the Persian - as in, there’s enough of him to make two regular-size Princes out of.

👍❤

Yeah, E3 dropping was big but not that big. This... is a fucking big deal.

Kinja is truly the Destiny of websites.

Summer 2020.

Horizon 1 on PC this summer is the best indicator we’ve had yet that Horizon 2 will be a PS5 launch title. Also any potential graphics upgrades H1 gets for the PC will also be in its PS5 patch when that shows up.

Yeah, it seems that ideally you’d want to build a new PC about one year after the new consoles come out, and then replace the graphics card about 3-4 years after that.

If they take after Death Stranding (which is running on the same engine) the game should have ultrawide aspect ratio and high framerate support on release, which, aside from the standard 4K support and such, would be significant upgrades from the console version. It’s still unknown if HDR will be supported, and it…

Detectors are things like cloud chambers, bubble chambers, drift chambers... Ignoring the fact that scientists can calculate fairly accurate estimates of what they expect to see based on what the experiment was, these chambers can still detect anything with a charge regardless of what it is, and directly show how fast…

Destiny 2 was from the outset designed to appeal to more casual players, and Bungie was made to pay dearly for that heresy by the vocal crowd that plays the game 20 hours a week and found, to their surprise and anger, that no game made by regular humans for regular human gaming devices can provide enough content to…

The actual article:

I liked that short behind-the-scenes clip from Rogue One where they showed how Gareth Edwards laid out the general positioning and flow of the battle with the VFX guys, and then used a VR camera to go in and shoot everything handheld from the thick of it - emulating real war footage. He could see everything in-camera…

It’s worth mentioning that a bunch of the reviews listed here are reviewing the Early Access version of the game - the 1.0 release reworked quite a lot of stuff, not just in Xen but they also went back and modified earlier levels and added a completely new AI implementation for the soldiers. Among other things.

It’s all good. America was fine before, we just need to go back to that and everything will be fine. There was no generational, institutional rot that enabled Trump to win the presidency, it was just a random accident. Returning to politics as usual will fix all problems. Any progress should be as nonintrusive as…
