crazy thing is this experienced cg artist supposedly just tossed this demo together in a relatively short amount of time.

this is a big part of why having kids is so gratifying. doing normal things makes you the coolest person in the world.

just thinking about the effect that idolizing Picard had on millennials as kids vs the effect Captain Kirk has on boomers. products of the times, of course, but i feel it is a appropriate microcosm of the generational divide.
Now feels like a good time for this clip

it can be endearing. like when we were given cotton candy by an ojiisan at a small matsuri and he said "japanese sweet. enjoy."
A Japanese guy asked me if people got hay fever in America, too, and I said yes. He then asked why. I was so dumbfounded I couldnโ€™t answer. After a long silence and me staring in disbelief, someone said, โ€œโ€ฆthey have trees and flowers in America, too.โ€

this is why i perform above my actual level in Japanese, i have absolutely no problem mimicking the native Japanese accent.
In order to properly speak a foreign language you sort of have to do an impression of a native speaker. The reason why most anglos are so bad at languages is because they are too self-conscious to effectively do this

my timeline is 10 years before most households have a jack-o-lantern wrangling robot.
I see how some people can watch flashy robot demos on the timeline and think with a shiver that the robot apocalypse is around the corner, but reality check: There is no robot in the world that can change the batteries in a jack-o-lantern. If you have a robot friendly door handle it might be able to walk outside, pick it up, and carry it back inside. The robot could open the drawer with your batteries in it, but then things get tough. Opening the package of AA batteries? Extracting a precision screwdriver from its case? Unscrewing four tiny screws that require a hard press and twist? Popping batteries out of the case? Yes, you could build and train a specialist robot to do that today, but there is a very long way to go to replace the full range of human capabilities. Near term doomer scenarios should stop at โ€œsecretly controlling humanityโ€ instead of โ€œwiping humanity outโ€ ๐Ÿ˜€

this. Japanese people seem to LOVE harsh lights. warm lights are even hard to find in some stores.
Nope. Iโ€™ve never seen a nation that loves extremely bright neon white lights as much as Japan. Pics are avg living rooms. Luxury hotels can give off very wrong impressions.

it is really interesting that Miyamoto's pragmatic take on ai in gamedev has seemingly softened many people's stance. i follow many talented pre-ai gamedevs on here that i have seen give very similar opinions only to get shouted down with "pick a side!" mob sentiment.

Miyamoto is not at all the first to ruminate on this kind of a future, but it feels like the pope just stepped into to settle a rift among the faithful.

it's incredible to me how many people took the rage bait.

personally i don't think the trolling helps anybody, despite having to admit it is perfectly executed.

anyway let's not let the whole ai debate distract us from the fact that Miyamoto just made history.

A hand-drawn dark comedy cooking game set in a suspicious diner in deep space, where the customers are also the ingredients. (Coming October 2026.) Wishlist now.๐Ÿ‘‡

my quick thoughts under this comment by the way!
Replying to @FarFromSubtle
hi frash. for you, is it no art/music/writing gen, or are you wholly anti ai even for code? As a musician I hate ai music, but as a programmer it's getting confusing trying to sus out everyones opinion on code gen and bug finding/fixing with the assistant stuff.
