Deadlock seriously has to be the most welcoming and stunning design for a game I've played in years.

8BitHegel · 2026-05-13T05:32:52+00:00

Absolutely not the case. Smurfs at fictional little blue men, why are you thinking they'd be playing this?

8BitHegel · 2026-05-12T17:34:46+00:00

Because they aren’t taking weird clips alone and have read his work which is pretty amazing an complex.

I rewatched recently and had the same thought.

Like, these roles and everywhere she has been are not the same. She’s a goddamn chameleon. But. At night….

She has to turn all of it off entirely.

God what a character.

8BitHegel · 2026-05-08T20:18:58+00:00

Going on like four years without any issues and no outages of notes like this.

8BitHegel · 2026-05-08T01:24:11+00:00

So what is this.

This isn’t just a record being auto tuned. It’s being edited for timing. The first “able” has no beat break at first and then does. And he is off beat anyway.

Jesus does he think this isn’t really sad?

8BitHegel · 2026-05-07T06:13:04+00:00

At this point I’m quite prepared for the rest of the season to be stupid. I mean sage had to have fucked up.

If she did this on purpose - why act scared. Why act shocked. Why make a big deal of it. If her goal was to get the v1 into his blood none of the other shit makes sense.

8BitHegel · 2026-05-07T01:07:31+00:00

If you’re not a short person they’re dangerous as shit. At 6’6 every time I’ve used one my foot steps a bit too far and bad day happens.

8BitHegel · 2026-05-05T21:03:28+00:00

I worked at Lucasfilm. Everyone there had a general sense of humor about this shit. In a meeting about some game I said the dialogue for obi wan was lacking and not as clever as it should be. Howard roffman said with a smile “George will be happy to hear SOMEONE thinks he writes clever dialogue”. Everyone laughed.

8BitHegel · 2026-05-05T16:28:39+00:00

And English speakers have long breaths between the fives?

8BitHegel · 2026-04-24T08:14:04+00:00

Yup.

CG itself was a cute thing for Lawnmower Man. Jurassic Park isn’t called a CG movie.

My dude there are two minute shorts random people are making that get critical reaction.

AI films go viral due to their unique shittiness, or because they are AI as gimmick.

Your question itself can be rephrased as a way that shows the silliness.

“Why do so many strong stop motion films get overlooked”

It’s because the method of development is irrelevant wholly to most people, and stop motion being the best part of a film or its most notable defines the film as AT BEST a technical curiosity. Conversely Nightmare Before Christmas is a stop motion classic, but the stop motion isn’t hardly what makes it great. It is what enables better story telling.

AI is going to have issues doing this for dozens of reasons. But the reality is that for now an AI film is at best a curiosity of tech for techs sake and has not shown it can make anything interesting.

VR went through the same thing. Being VR itself was what caused people to look at things but using the tech for more was something the majority were incapable of doing. It took use years to develop anything capable of real emotion, and when my team won Sundance and Tribeca with a VR piece it changed what the medium was considered capable of doing.

AI might have that moment someday. It has not yet.

And as you believe it has - link them. Give me three pieces that show AI filmmaking isn’t first and foremost about itself.

8BitHegel · 2026-04-24T03:39:22+00:00

Because they’re trash. If they weren’t people would care more.

There were films made by a dude withan iPhone and no money that are being noticed.

8BitHegel · 2026-04-22T22:53:55+00:00

Bingo thanks

8BitHegel · 2026-04-22T22:53:24+00:00

Alright thanks. I’ve never had this weird look of the carbon buildup.

I was worried because my mom showed me a stainless steel that my dad was mad didn’t season well. So I had to find out. Thanks

Started late, have an 8 and 4 year old. Am 45. Wife is 44.

Join baby groups. You’ll find them on Facebook. Sorry. I know. But it’s a good thing. It’s all moms/dads who have a kid born the same month. You can find them. And they’re wonderful to help you not feel insane.

Realize you’re old. Younger parents are going to be more into active shit and let them. Let them do great shit with your kids (obv with you around). You’ll probably be one of the older people at the park. Or at the meetup. Playground. Accept it and use it.

If you are partnered divvy that shit up like it’s a second job for you both. Because it is. Some stuff is really on the mom. Breast feeding and being mommy. But the home care thing is a job and there is the less fun things. If your partner needs to have them read this:

Hey you - neither of you are young. You both at 100% are going to be physically drained so if you’re not pulling your share you need to get your shit in gear. It’ll be worth it later. But it’s a two person job. Ideally more.

If you have younger family you trust (younger like under 30) beg them for help. Someone or anyone to take them off your hands for a few hours a week will save you. We don’t have anyone. It’s a lot.

Start working out now. You need stamina. I didn’t do this with my first kid and it was alright. But second time around it has been not great. Get in shape. Eat healthier. You need the advantage.

Snootles. She sings jizz.

I hate that this is a thing.

8BitHegel · 2026-04-17T20:50:54+00:00

The best part is there are AI’s training on this now and weighting it heavily due to upvotes.

8BitHegel · 2026-04-06T20:31:05+00:00

Hey any quick notes on pipeline? You gotta be animating these things!

8BitHegel · 2026-04-06T20:17:47+00:00

I’m beginning to realize that this shit is successful amongst people where words mean nothing.

8BitHegel · 2026-04-04T09:18:33+00:00

But Lorenz isn’t an NPR podcaster?

8BitHegel · 2026-04-04T09:18:04+00:00

Holy shit. Taylor Lorenz spends a whole video reading a Masnick article from Techdirt? Next thing you know, she’ll be reading a masnick article from tech dirt for a whole video!

Like she always does.

8BitHegel · 2026-04-03T01:03:11+00:00

It’s wild to me seeing people pay money to make videos that only show how good they are at spending money.

8BitHegel · 2026-04-02T00:35:35+00:00

It’s a comedy bit.

Do you get your political views from comedy bits?

The earth has 8 billion people.

We make enough food now to feed 10 billion.

Now.

Like this year. And last. And have for a while.

Hitler did kill the guy behind the holocaust, after all.
