The Stochastic Game

I finally saw Black Hawk Down and, apart from the obvious few problems everyone knows about, it’s still an amazing war movie, and a technical tour-de-force. Impressive.

Last year I watched all the James Bond movies in order and my summary is that they’re rather mediocre movies, but with some fun intro, catchy credits sequence, and occasionally there’s a good set piece or character or moment.

If you’re old enough to remember the good old days of WAREZ, the demo-scene, and everything else from back when the internet wasn’t 99% shit, you may enjoy this great homage by the Razor1911 group for their 40 years! Or if you just like chiptune, it’s catchy too!

Hey, how about you shut-up, Health Canada.

Well that aged well 😒 From Mission: Impossible S01E10, the crew are undercover in a Russian (I think?) training program for sleeper agents in the US. They are “tested” by being fake-arrested by the police, and reprimanded for not resisting arrest, which is “the American Way”!

I haven’t posted about the good fluffy boy in some time, so here he is, still doing his thing!

Oh hey, the US is now on track to start censoring their internet (sure it’s about piracy now but it will take about, like, 5 minutes for the authoritarians in charge to make use of it?) Make sure you don’t use US-owned DNS servers I guess?

We finally played the Spectaculars #TTRPG last week-end and it was pretty interesting! I’m not sure that it’s our jam past a one-shot or two, but it was fun! I had to spice up the rather bland first issue scenario though.

Just read an article about how “genAI will let us take back the open web” and…. ugh.

I love the term “cognitive surrender” to describe what happens with people using genAI, and how it leads them down wrong paths.
