@PerdGateEnjoyer I might have some old 3ds max files around, and old irc logs and emails. Over the years I pooled my many hard drives down to a couple.

If you want to make a breakthrough video game, this is also an accurate list. Games are pretty hard to make, usually!

Marc Andreessen on the 5 personality traits of an innovator “When you’re talking about real innovators—people who actually do really creative, breakthrough work—I think you’re talking about a couple things:” 1. Very high in trait openness. “Just flat-out open to new ideas… And the nature of trait openness means you’re not just open to new ideas in one category—you’re open to many different kinds of new ideas… But of course, just being open is not sufficient because if you’re just open, you could just be curious and explore and spend your entire life reading, talking to people, but never actually create something.” 2. High level of conscientiousness. “You need somebody who’s really willing to apply themselves—typically over a period of many years to accomplish something great… For most of these people, it’s years and years of applied effort. You need somebody with an extreme willingness to basically defer gratification… Of course, this is why there aren’t many of these people—there aren’t many people who are high in openness and high in conscientiousness because to a certain extent, they’re opposed traits.” 3. High in disagreeableness. “If they’re not ornery, they’ll be talked out of their ideas… Because the reaction most people have to new ideas is ‘Oh, that’s dumb.’ So, somebody who’s too agreeable will be easily dissuaded to not pull on the thread anymore.” 4. High IQ. “They just need to be really smart because it’s hard to innovate in any category if you can’t synthesize large amounts of information quickly.” 5. Relatively low neuroticism. “If they’re too neurotic, they probably can’t handle the stress.” Video source: @hubermanlab (2023)

@maro254 Delirium's Storm Scale Rating was 7, but close enough.

We trained a new version of Gen-3 Alpha, Turbo, that can generate videos 7x faster than the original Gen-3 Alpha, while matching its performance on many use cases. We’ll be rolling out Turbo for Image to Video with significantly lower pricing over the coming days while also making it available to free users.
Gen-3 Alpha Turbo redefines the efficiency frontier for high-fidelity video generation, unlocking many new possibilities of near real-time interactivity.

@maro254 posts art descriptions as part of his card stories. As a dabbler in the generatives, it occurred to me - what happens when you plug Mark's descriptions verbatim into Midjourney?

I've heard bits of this story before but it's always a pleasure to hear my very brilliant ex-co-worker @argonomic talk about how the 2015/IW/Respawn crew changed the way shooters were made.
One would be crazy to bet against them in the future too :)

Today’s #theralphreport food of the day is Polvo a Lagareiro, a signature dish of Portugal.
I happened to enjoy just this dish in rustic Sintra just two weeks ago! Very tasty.

Is it just me or are the old Latest Development articles just gone? All the old Making Magics are still in the Wizards archive. @zdch @maro254

The other shoe has dropped. Tom Brady unretires, and there will be no iPhone 14 Mini. The price is paid.

@xandermorgan @tangentiallogic @pinedsman Good times. Aaron bought everyone pizza but his handler wouldn't let him have a slice.

@pinedsman : "My cousin has her own film production company and schmoozes with all the celebs and my parents are always comparing me with that"
Me: "Oh clearly the solution is to just follow in @argonomic 's footsteps"

What do Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton have uniquely in common? They are the only actors to have played characters that were killed by an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator.

@Chopy94182559 Wattson's personality seems childlike. So childlike that it becomes a moot point.
Just my take on it.

@DavelovesP @lsv I Study Break'd my own creature in response.

@lsv Yeah this card has overperformed in so many stalled board states

@pinedsman summer of 2015 doing 1v1 Titan tests who would have thought we would see a short film featuring Northstar six years later!

@tangentiallogic @yamp_ish @gawdgriggs I only remember once winning a single round against Chin, and then I got the "I'm not left handed" treatment.
English
@yamp_ish @gawdgriggs @argonomic 'Twas a long time ago, in an office far far away. Also our interview process was probably not as refined as it is now :P
But yes I played against @gawdgriggs' Guile with my Ryu and it was a pretty close match. Then I switched to my actual main Seth and it was...not as close.
