It’s not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It’s functionally just part of the level.

Blahaj has the same color scheme as the trans flag and is cute.

Earthsea is beautiful. There aren’t very many books, and they were written across 50ish years. They evolved with the genre, allowing readers a clear window into how we got to the modern works of Jordan, Sanderson, etc.

The claim that they are doing a clean-room implementation is bullshit. The only way any of these models are able to make any working code is by being trained on every bit of code that could be scraped from the internet. Unless the project you are cloning was released after the model was trained, it was trained on the code. It may be a tiny fragment of the training data, but it still saw it.

My situation was abnormal since I was running the procurement for food service at a zoo, so those photos were from my warehouse. It lets me joke about a level of organization basically no restaurant can have.

We’d have to run a BIB across the park when someone forgot to ask for it the night before, so not everything was paradise.

You gotta keep 'em organized!

For a few years, I kept them on a shelf at head height. That was a mistake that I let go on too long.

They didn’t even colorpick-paint it out, which would be super easy with this style. They used a sloppy content-fill magic erase tool that smudged the panel line out into the cell.

It’s been two years since I read the book, but everything lined up with my memory. For two days after seeing it, my wife was unpacking stuff and asking me to explain things, which I was able to do.

She loved the movie without the context and I loved it with it. It was fun seeing her think I’d drug her to see a horror movie for about a minute at the end of the first act.

The computer wants it to go on longer, right? He just left.

Looks like the filling is nothing but thick-cut slabs of onion.

Jr High teacher, so they’d be a few years past being her students. Age gap is problematic, but I don’t see any school-related abuse of power there.

My players like imagining insane cruelty ahead of them. I say three words, then sit there looking like this for five minutes as I listen to them write their own doom.

I usually don’t do the terrible things they imagine.

Lighting is the space image gen struggles in most now. Individual areas will show convincing shadows, atmosphere, etc, but motivation and consistency is lacking. The shots from Hogwarts Legacy show that really clearly. Slice out a random 10%x10% chunk of the frame and the lighting looks more realistic, but the overall frame loses the directional lighting driven by real things in the scene.

I haven’t used RCN/Astound since COVID, but they were pretty decent before then. Far better than Comcast.
