After seeing the wonderful Lalafell Bastion art people have been doing, I was struck by this silly idea for my Miqo'te. #FFXIV #Bastion #Miqote

A picture of a Miqo'te, a cat people from Final Fantasy 14, hiding in the shadow produced from the Bastion tank class weapons being leant against each other. Green eyes gleaming in the darkness as their tail swishes back and forth behind excitedly. The weapons energy cannons are preparing to fire.

Customising the voice of the Skitarii character in Darktide is very cool. A mix of three characteristics. Hehe, funny number.

That's not why. Here's what happened:-

In an earlier election in 2017, Harvey stood as Lord Buckethead, but was forced to change the character due to a copyright dispute with the American filmmaker Todd Durham, who created Lord Buckethead for his 1984 science fiction film Hyperspace. Harvey has, since that time, used the platform of Binface to promote electoral participation, with the slogan "Make Your Vote Count". Harvey originally stood as an independent, but his affiliation has been given since 2023 as the Count Binface Party.

Why noone should ever use genAI or its products.

The cognitive decline associated with the consumption of AI slop—such as a shortened attention span, decreased focus, and mental fog—is sometimes referred to as “brainrot.” But when the audience is children, there’s not much to rot, Suskind said. Because a child’s brain is still in its early development, still being built, what you get instead, she said, is “brain stunt.”

Sounds like the sort of setup Jesse Cox and John Bain would have used circa 2014 for a something like Farcry 4, and then complained about how badly optimised it was.

There's much we don't know though. That starts with the computational cost of the ML algorithm. Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology. The use of two GPUs is required right now as DLSS 5 still has a long way to go in terms of optimisation - both in terms of performance and its VRAM footprint. However, DLSS 5 is designed for use on a single GPU and that's how it will ship later this year. Quite how scalable it is also remains to be seen, but in common with other DLSS technologies, Nvidia tells us that the computational cost scales with resolution.

I love when Nanoha is depicted showing off her inner White Devil. :D Taken from the Nanoha Movie COMICS manga.
