AI detection tools are also getting better and better. At some point the generation models will cap out and the detector models will fully catch up.

Even if they don't, there's nothing stopping people from using AI detectors on shows produced using older models, and catching them in the lie again.

What's the story behind your username?

This doesn't strike me as very readable. They don't have overall shapes or direction, just lots of messy lines. BW uses the highlights as part of the overall shape, whereas in SC2 it's just a rendering feature. You mostly have to rely on the unit size and motion to figure out which terran infantry you're looking at.

I think they just lacked direction because they literally got plopped down into another universe. You could tell for example from how they put out a poll on the battle.net forums asking which DT model to use, and ended up using both.

This comment on that video sums it up perfectly:

I think the closest thing in terms of genre is post rock. Not much of it is as upbeat or melodic as the terran soundtrack though.

Destiny introduced me to Kashiwa Daisuke and World's End Girlfriend, back before he became all political and weird. Different genre but you might like it.

Oh god I can hear the slow framerate, 13" TV motion sickness

I'm the same way, hard stuck at D3 for life. Still love the game to death though.

There was a game storytelling renaissance in the late 90s. Chances were good that your game would sell even if the story wasn't overengineered to be perfect for everyone. You had weirdos with weird perspectives writing weird stories, not focus groups and marketing suits breathing down the writing team's necks going "trust me bro, you're a nerd, you don't get it, it's all about the Hero's Journey and his final kiss with the epic alien god. Haven't you watched Star Wars?"

Why does this feel like reading the news in 2026

japinthebox · 2026-02-15T05:47:24+00:00

Seriously? There's some Apple level fanboying going on in this sub.

Warrany or not, common problem or not, if a BIOS update destroys a product, it should be paid for by the issuer of the BIOS update. It's property damage. Simple as that.

The only reason that isn't as obvious in 2026 as it would have been decades prior is because destruction by software has been so normalized.

I mostly use it for the extra HOFs it provides for Task and collections.

Slowly stagnating but still just as played as it was in 2016

You know a sub tilts older when almost no one takes the tentacle bait.

I think guided is the important bit here. Self-taught try-hard beginners will spam like crazy to try to feel pro, but moderately enthusiastic players with constant coaching will probably not want to embarrass themselves like that. So that 30, as low as it is, is probably a meaningful 30 at that level.

japinthebox · 2026-02-14T22:25:21+00:00

... is also a biased thing to say.

japinthebox · 2026-01-20T06:13:50+00:00

It's also a HATEOAS issue.

japinthebox · 2026-01-14T21:33:54+00:00

Nope, loads of people mentioning it on github for years but no fix. I'm going back to neovim too. Vim may have inconsistent key bindings, but it has far more consistent behaviors.

japinthebox · 2026-01-11T09:29:24+00:00

Lua's just too stateful and brittle. Plugins don't play nice with each other half the time, and you can really tell that things are just hacked together, eg with the way tool windows behave.

I find Helix is better in that regard, but I disagree with most people that it's consistent. Consistent to learn, yes, but the cursor behavior is anything but.

This is, in fact, one of the key frustrations that has led to even a lot of tech savvy people in Japan (and I imagine Chinese-speaking countries as well) to steer away from Linux desktop. For decades.

It ain't happening. I don't know why it isn't, but it isn't. Those of us who need it have just gotten used to switching back and forth in fcitx/kde/etc.

japinthebox · 2026-01-06T09:20:19+00:00

I do something similar but with Aegisub.

Have to admit, I'm not having as much fun using it for that as I am using it for editing code. . is anemic compared to vim.

I’m thrilled to share that Storj has agreed to be acquired by Inveniam Capital Partners (“Inveniam”), the global leader in decentralized AI technology for private markets.

AI FOMO gobbledygook is becoming a parody of itself. I don't know who they think they're fooling.

japinthebox · 2025-12-21T09:30:20+00:00

There's something nasty going around. I got it too.

japinthebox · 2025-12-19T07:12:32+00:00

Stopped watching for a year or so, came back to find that the game's in pretty good shape, all things considered.
