@aegies.bsky.socialWhat AI-driven video game decomps are actually going to do is drive intense, draconian levels of legal action against anything remotely resembling these projects and emulation in general (even more than now).
@aegies.bsky.socialTonight’s 4k horror Blu-ray: My favorite Romero Dead film.
@aegies.bsky.socialParanorman is a lot of fun, so is monster house, and also, remarkably, the goosebumps movie with Jack Black!
@aegies.bsky.socialI’ve been thinking for a while that Fortnite could be in the earlyish stages of a death spiral due to margins on skins and the share of revenue that goes to rights holders and the AI news isn’t dissuading me from that hypothesis.
@aegies.bsky.socialOh Jesus Christ.
@seantcollins.comReposted by @aegies.bsky.socialThe thing about Ukraine taking out Russian bot farms that amplify Nazi propaganda all over the world is the kind of story I want to be true more than I believe it actually is true, esp bc I don't recognize a single account promoting it directly and they're all using graphs without linking to sources

@aegies.bsky.socialI kind of honestly hate how iOS fucks around with when it’ll make your phone vibrate and then it won’t when you have an Apple watch.
@aegies.bsky.socialToday’s 4k horror Blu-ray (I think blade counts!):
@aegies.bsky.socialThis is the reason why those ai-powered video game tech demos where you can have “conversations” with any NPC were always bullshit, for the record.
@aegies.bsky.socialVR being a product without a sustainable market is the most right I have ever felt about anything (and legalizing sports betting being fine probably is the most wrong, for the record).
@aegies.bsky.socialso help me god i am clawing my way toward the end of the blood of dawnwalker: twitch.tv/aegies
@aegies.bsky.socialToday’s 4k horror Blu-ray, a remake I like much more than the original 🤷
@aegies.bsky.socialjust thinking about this post this week for no particular reason.
