Oh, a Tune & Fairweather post! Guess I'm clicking 'order' again.

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

Hell of a year 🍻

iconic.

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.

And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit

This year has been absolutely astounding for SpecialEffect, and we'd love to take this opportunity to give our most heartfelt thanks to you, our amazing supporters!

Our team are taking a well deserved rest over the holiday season, and we'll be back on Jan 5th. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Great shout tbf.

Legit thought that was a croissant.

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

Impossible to listen to Shuhei without falling in love with videogames anew. What a bloke.

The horrific thing about exercise is that it works.

The only safe place to use LLMs is in a field where you are already skilled enough to know you would never trust AI. So you might as well not.

We’ve got to start insisting on this Catch 22 being understood in all workplaces: AI only replaces workers too incompetent to notice it doesn’t work.

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

Wow, what a fantastic #OneSpecialWalk! Thanks so much to everyone for braving the rain and (literally) going the extra mile for us, you're all stars! Keep an eye out for an update on how much you've raised, and the date for next year's event 🧡💙

You're going to smash it mate!

This is important and good. Brilliant work.

"Personality, knowledge, and emotion are the three things that need to exist [in art] — and I'm sorry, they don't come from a fucking app." Del Toro sums it up 🫡

The Lionesses celebrate winning the Women's Euros by covering themselves head to toe in gold and silver strands of foil.

Football is life and those lasses do it better than anyone. Unreal.

Leamington does have some real thinkers. Here's a fable I spotted a few years back...

Looking forward to seeing you fella!

I look forward to years of propserity (and never again losing my car keys).

I have never clicked "purchase" faster in my life.

This is awesome and important. So proud of our game and our people.

a man riding a horse in a video game Alt: A short clip of gameplay from the Witcher 3. Geralt rides his horse across a rugged landscape kissed by light from the setting sun.

Today marks ten years to the day since I bought a PS4 to play Witcher 3 on release.

Geralt's stories, through the craft poured into them by CDPR, ignited the spark of realisation that creating games is a worthwhile thing that real people actually do.

I will forever owe them a debt of thanks. 🐺

DOOM: Dark Ages is joyous. A beautifully focussed heavy metal spectacle. Beaming grin through every level.

Those folks at id really know what they're doing 🔥💥💪
