Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages: it’s a bit familiar
I mentioned in my last post that I'd started to play Oracle of Ages again, and I'm still working my way through it. It seems to be taking an absolute ... er, age ... even though it's very clearly signposted throughout. As soon as you finish a dungeon, the Deku Tree pipes up to tell you where to go next.

'We *must* be future focused' a man talking on his phone warns in a serious voice. He's standing in the open train carriage, wearing a white shirt, dark suit & slicked-back hair. A brightly-lit iPad dangles nonchalantly in the same hand as his briefcase. He holds onto the pole with his other hand.
Upstairs, a woman slowly & painfully reads a used car ad out loud. I wonder if she notices that the kicker's placed right at the end: the heater works, but the AC doesn't. It's a hot country.
She tries to discuss dinner with her boyfriend - she's only got $13, he's got $8. But she's interrupted by "Hello Moto" & a call from a high-pressure electricity salesperson. With absolute sincerity, she tries to help them find a better time to call her back.
They all get off at Redfern.

Just to pull one more thing from the linked article:
"These sad sociopathic fucks are attempting to write a future where everything and everyone behaves in a way that benefits them. Where no one gives them lip. Where no one tells them no. Where no one defies them. Where consent has been taken off the table."
LLMs have shown them the world they want to see. They have seen a vision of the future where they are the absolute dictators of a world of sycophants. They trained models to act like this, because that's what they want to exist. But they've made the mistake of conflating the reality they want with the world that actually exists.
This will destroy them. That's not a question at this point. The open question is "how many of us will be consumed by the process of their self-destruction?"

Playing Terra Nil right now, and it's funny because from the promo stuff I thought I wouldn't like it much, yet I'm enjoying myself a lot. There's definitely a game design lesson to be leaned here.
I was absolutely correct in my assessment that the game feels like it's actively trying to make suspension of disbelief as hard as possible with its completely ridiculous mechanics that make absolutely zero sense. "That's... Not how that works at all!" Is basically playing on repeat in my brain.
Furthermore, the entire technosolutionist tenor of the game rubs me very much the wrong way. This compounds with the physics- and biology-defying (or perhaps -spiting) fictional layer in cases like the convenient magical radiation-absorbing buildings so that you can reverse radiation contamination with a few simple clicks to be extremely bad politics actually...
But... The mechanics do work together quite well to make interesting puzzles with good gameplay that includes satisfying variety and challenges. The art is wonderful, and the music and audio design are spot on. The the result of each level is immensely satisfying, and the pacing is excellent.
I guess the lesson I'm taking away from this is that really solid fundamentals can triumph over an absolute cacophony of ludonarrative dissonance. That doesn't mean that in every decision between ludonarrative harmony (or just straight up believability) and neat mechanics you should compromise towards mechanics, but it reinforces the idea that if you make the mechanics enjoyable in the abstract, players (or at least, players like me) will be willing to compromise a *lot* on whether it actually makes any sense for things to work that way.
I'm still bothered by the "use technology to fix everything" politics, which prevents this game from being one I'll enthusiastically recommend, but despite myself I am having a lot of fun with it.

Gerade James Bond: First Light beendet! 🎬🎮 Nach knapp 30 Stunden bin ich durch und absolut begeistert.
Ich liebe diese cineastischen Games einfach, die sich wie ein interaktiver Spielfilm anfühlen. Story, Atmosphäre und Action haben von vorne bis hinten komplett abgeliefert.
Wer Bock auf ein richtig starkes Agenten-Abenteuer hat: Absolute Empfehlung! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Content warning: UKPol kids banned

OBrien on the radio thinks that its okay to ban kids from Youtube even though their exam revision videos are on youtube, because the revision videos will just end up somewhere else.
He thinks though that the suicide encouragement and terrible anorexia mutual support will not simply end up somewhere else I guess. 🤷‍♂️
"No downside to this at all" he reckons. 🤣
"Nobody sensible can be against this ban"
This is what irks me most. The absolute refusal to see any issues at all in the ban. Just refusing to understand that there's any support help or encouragement for kids on these forums. That they are only places for radicalisation and bullying.
TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Twitch, X, Threads, Facebook and Kick.
I note that Bluesky didn't make the blacklist. I expect it'll be added during debate. Can't list everything though, so the kids will surely just go to whoever isn't listed? 4-chan seems to not be included? What a strange list.
I don't use any of them besides Youtube so won't be forced into ID checks for them myself. My youtube account is itself over 18 years old so don't think they'll ask.

📚 My book review of Take back control?.
I remember the whole Brexit debacle vividly. So I'm sad to read that sadly, there was no 4d chess going on, but the overflowing piles of hubris, stupidity, lack of strategic foresight and absolute populist nonsense was exactly as we experienced it. The author makes a good effort of chronicling 10 years of Brexit, but doesn't give any new insights.

Volador 1.0: A Data-Driven Air-Sea Full-Coupling Regional Forecast Model with Submesoscale-Permitting Based on MOE-Swin-Transformer Framework

arxiv.org/abs/2605.24032 arxiv.org/pdf/2605.24032 arxiv.org/html/2605.24032
arXiv:2605.24032v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: A data-driven air-sea full-coupling regional forecast model with submesoscale-permitting, named "Volador 1.0", is developed for the South China Sea (SCS). The model features a Swin-Transformer framework integrated with a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) system, a latent space interaction architecture based on Cross-Grid Bidirectional Cross-Attention, and a fast-slow dual-branch architecture. Both the three-month hindcast test and the 15-day operational real-time forecasting demonstrate that Volador 1.0 has a very encouraging and promising performance in 0-72h forecasting of temperature and salinity in the 0-500m upper ocean as well as the sea surface height with root-mean-square-error (RMSE) or mean absolute error (MAE) smaller than or at least comparable to those from the reanalysis datasets REDOS V2.0 and GLORYS12 and the state-of-the-art regional numerical model Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). In particular, Volador 1.0 demonstrates its capability of capturing/forecasting submesoscale processes including internal waves, with an energy spectrum well representing sub- to mesoscale energy cascade as expected by the classical turbulence theory. Further analysis based on ablation experiments shows that the air-sea full-coupling framework, which takes into account the dynamic exchanges of momentum and heat fluxes between the atmosphere and the ocean, indeed helps improve the model's performance compared to the non-full-coupling one. Volador 1.0, though still subject to refinement in the coming future with a large space for improvement, blazes a path for an accurate, fine and fast marine environment forecasting, and thus could help promote our capability of disaster prevention and mitigation in the SCS as well as in other coastal regions where these innovative techniques can be applied.

Anyone know of this is accurate?
I have been told in the past that one big thing tying Canada to continuing, and expanding, oil production is because of terms in NAFTA (now USMCA) that essentially say every drop of oil must continue until the customer deems otherwise.
If Trump has essentially broken large parts of CUSMA AND has said openly he believes it should end then…
Outside of its own needs, is Canada under any obligation to continue exporting/importing oil and gas products to/from the USA?
Could the end of CUSMA give Canadian climate activists the first real chance to push for reductions in absolute fossil fuel production and a true transition for fossil fuel workers in the industry!?

Shouting into the wind about “planned maintenance” without notification by my ISP.
They are, essentially a monopoly and as either a consequence or a flex, they exert the absolute minimum of care. I loathe them and would take my business elsewhere, but alas… monopoly.

Notification about planned maintenance in the neighborhood, warning of possible service interruptions. The message assures that no action is required from the user and mentions the estimated repair time as June 25th at 5:47 AM.

Between the absolute attention whoring idiocy of these Michigan Republicans, and the Nero-esque fiddling and double-speak by past and current Canadian and American governments, including Carney, on reducing CO2 emissions over the past 30 years while their countries increasingly literally burn…

It’s enough to drive a guy to freaking drink. 😡
We know why this is happening and it’s not because the forest isn’t swept.

so I mean, everyone wishes that a host nation of a World Cup wins the World Cup, right?
But barring that I think the situation we have now is perfect.
Canada fought hard, left some blood on the field like a good hockey player, and did better than they've ever done before by a wide margin.
Mexico played one of the best games possibly in the history of football, in without question the best stadium in all of football and can go home proud even as much as it hurt.
And the USA was an absolute disgrace not really because of their players, but because of their President and FIFA.
Really I'd say it worked out extremely well.
Now GO SPAIN. 😆
