I enjoyed the demo and bought the early access. Interesting gameplay loop. My big complaint at the moment is that when doing a second run, the game gets mega choppy on my steam deck. An issue I don't have on Steam (borealis) on my Chromebook.


"Jacques Ranciére tells a mythical story about how the separation of signal and noise might have been accomplished in Ancient Greece. Sounds produced by affluent male locals were defined as speech, whereas women, children, slaves, and foreigners were assumed to produce garbed noise. The distinction between speech and noise serves as a kind of political spam filter."

— Hito Steyerl: Duty free art, pp. 50-50

The reference here is to a part of Ranciére's "Ten Theses on Politics".

Let us hope that the next photograph of the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, won't be a photograph of a warm embrace and handshake with Donald Trump.

but what really consumes more energy? ai video generation or going 96 in a school zone?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I wonder if all of this now slop, but eventually "great", AI crap will start pushing people back to using #lynx and the like, or even #gopher. Why bother with images and videos any more when signal-to-noise ratio gets below a certain point.

With browsers we learned to use #adblock and the like, but how to #aiblock?

At this rate the only winning move might be just not to play, and move back to text based tools. Or enjoy your new friends if you never left 🙂

That reminds me - we have bats nesting in one of the walls of our house. We want to move them to a better location (we want to put up a bat-house) on the outside of the wall; we don't want to harm the bats - we kinda like them being around.


If you don't want AI spying on your phone, there are options besides continually disabling it. One great one is, next time you need a new device, get one with e/OS. Android minus the spying. murena.com/america/products/sm…

Update: See below for some very compelling critiques of e/OS.

As I've been watching some interesting farmer-owned youtoob sites, the first two chickens remind me of Ayam Cemani hens...the third could be a Rhode Island red, and the last one is a rooster, possibly a Faverolles
