  1. I dug out my old GameCube from storage and F-Zero GX is such a blast. The best futuristic racing game, maybe? So unforgiving also.. I can't pass all the cups without getting a game over anymore, even on the novice difficulty Also it took me forever to finish the story mode back in the day and I seem to have lost the memory card where that save was.. Practice mode it is then for a while.
  2. Speaking of lots of bang for buck few months ago I also got a Doom bundle for Switch which included Doom I, II, 64, 3 and Doom (2016) and a bunch of expansions.
  3. I've been playing through these. The Dimension of the Machine looks amazing for a Quake 1 expansion.
  4. This seems to be one of those albums that get better on each listening. Holorform and Domelash are my favorites so far. Especially when Domelash goes crazy towards the end. Holorform has some underlying prog-rock vibes, like Pekka Pohjola, maybe? Still not completely sold on the Arkteon tracks, they feel kind of out of place, but alright.
  5. Well, yes, this is kind of what I meant that when you have well defined problems like you would get in a coding challenge or CS class it gives decent answers. But the real world problems when you're developing software and systems are hardly ever so well defined and everything is kind of murky and undocumented and ill-defined, possibly with inaccurate documentation that no one bothered to update. The kind of algorithmic part is usually fairly straightforward, it's all the technical details and buggy hardware and software that are the pain in the ass.
  6. The problems that arise are from undocumented limitations and it seems a lot of times the company who made the system didn't even seem to know they exist. Sometimes they knew but left the limitations undocumented for whatever the reason. Some use cases we have are so exotic that there are zero hits in Google. It might be no one even thought of trying to use it the way we do. It just all comes down to lots of detective work and trying to figure out what happens in the proprietary black box when I feed it different things. I can't use ChatGPT, Co-Pilot or similar open for all AIs at work because of security reasons.
  7. I think probably the AI is mostly going to be used this kind of very low effort stock music, graphics and videos. Like the youtubers are using the same few stock music pieces that you can fucking hear everywhere so if they add a bit of variety with AI, then just go ahead by all means. And quality wise it's not going to be a huge loss if some corporate graphics in a Powerpoint presentation are going to be AI generated instead of the most bland stock photos they could find. Just type in "women eating salads while laughing" or "ethnically diverse group of middle-class people celebrating in an office" to generate the millionth image of that type. I don't think it will have much breakthrough yet as Art that is consumed as Art. Like a music album that someone intentionally enjoys. But who knows? There's already that whole vocaloid scene out there.. As a software engineer I fucking wish I could just let AI generate the code for me by describing the problem, and we actually have an access to to a kind of "corporate" version of an AI at work but it sucks so much at programming. It can only solve the easiest most generic problems you can find in a computer programming class. Like, whoop-de-doo, another implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm but now in Rust. I wish my job was just solving basic programming puzzles all day, but it's actually mostly battling with undocumented idiosyncrasies of different frameworks and systems that the AI has no knowledge of. Well, I can still use it to flesh out bug reports or whatever.
  8. Haven't made much recently but here's one ambient/downtempo track that I have been slowly working on
  9. I watched the Boxer's Omen, a 1983 Hong Kong occult film. And this is the strangest movie I have seen in the last few years. It is fucking bonkers. You might think the trailer up there is some kind of collection of just the craziest scenes. No, I can assure you the movie is even crazier. Everything is so bizarre: the plot, the effects, the camera work, the rhythm of the movie, the sound design, the acting, the locations. And it barely has any quiet moments. It's just 1 hour 45 minutes of madness. Like a nightmare you would have after 4 days of binge drinking. I would imagine that if David Lynch and Terry Gilliam got together and took some acid and decided to make a kung-fu movie it would be something like this. Rating: Flying severed tentacle head / 10.
  10. Half of my heart is in a banana

  11. MTV Europe had a piece of SAW2 in the Chill Out Zone ident
