A liminal teenage angst with dark surreality. Lots of fun.

I've been playing the Star Fox Demo and realizing I am terrible at the game. My brain keeps deciding to change which way it wants Y Axis. I am loving it, but also quite terrible.

As an AI guy I am asking questions about how easily I can make a Gradius version of this game style

@ScottApogee @Apogee_Ent If the guy laying down was named Edgar there would be a lot of jokes from the show 24 to tell.

This 1982 ad for the Apple II game, Alien Ambush, included the selling point that it was written completely in assembly language. Back then gamers knew that being written in assembly made the game run a lot faster/smoother.

For real though, this is a terrific horror-ish film. They've taken the idea of a haunted house and made it a modern office environment...an alternate reality that feels like it was copy-pasted too many times and has lost it's physical integrity in a super creepy way. Me and my group of friends who saw it totally loved it. Several very recent indie horror films (Hokum, Obsession, Backrooms) have all been stellar.

🎮 I rebuilt the Saturn's VDP2(background/color) emulation from scratch. Old way:layers as textured polygons + GPU blending → couldn'tmatch Saturn's color math. New way: a per-pixel compositor that sorts layers by priority & does color calc in real-hardware order. #segasaturn

スーパーファミコンの名作『ロックマンX』が、まさかのPCへ初ネイティブ移植!!

注目すべきは、これがエミュレーター移植ではなく、「snesrecomp」を利用してゲームコードを再構築し、PC上でネイティブ動作させている点

今後はこのタイプの勝手移植が増えると思うぞッッ!!

We’re open-sourcing Stem Studio, our 3JS game engine today.

This is a browser-based 3D multiplayer game engine and dev studio based on the idea that game dev should become more open, remixable, and web-native.

AI will make it easier to create games. But shared building blocks will make it easier for developers to build on top of each other.

Stem Studio is MIT licensed, JavaScript-based, and built for browser multiplayer 3D worlds.

Code is here: https://t.co/PRNy6sb7ji
Fork it, break it, remix it, and show us what you make.

Thanks to the work of Leroy Sikkes @NVIDIA, the Path-Tracer for @godotengine is coming along nicely. I recently ported the Attic scene, and the quality achievable with an open-source engine is awesome. I can’t wait to see the continued development.

While watching the Star Fox 64 remake Direct, I wondered why we don't have a version of Gradius like it. One ChatGPT and Kling and I got this.

The Doom 3 engine is underrated, IMO.

We made a 🌍WORLD MAP🌍 for Entropy, in that classic Final Fantasy style, and I absolutely love it?

We made some KILLER textures and now I want to live here... Look at those pixelated lapping shores... 🌊

Genie3 generates videos. We generate 𝟯𝗗 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘀 you can actually use.

Launching tomorrow — Tencent #HYWorld 2.0, an engine-ready World Model🚀

This isn't a video. It's a real 3D scene, all generated & editable. One image in. A whole 3D world out.
🔥Open-source tomorrow

Excited that our paper StreamdiffusionV2 received the Best Research Paper Award at #MLSys26!

🚀Video generation is quickly moving from demos to production-facing workloads. It is no longer a turn-based pipeline but should be a streaming pipeline to interact with users.

📖Our project page: https://t.co/ItuO5zc6hT and paper: https://t.co/fmz2irYIm1

👂Come join the talk if you are interested in streaming video generation. Our talk will be at the Research Track Oral Presentation: Best Paper Session on Tue 8:45AM at #MLSys26 , I will talk about how we attacked the efficiency and quality challenges. Hope to see you there!

❤️Huge thanks to all authors! This work would not have been possible without the incredible effort from the entire team. Big shout out to Tianrui Feng, Zhi Li, @Andy_ShuoYang , @HaochengXiUCB, @lmxyy1999 , @lvminzhang , @xiuyu_l , Keting Yang, @ZiqiPeng, @songhan_mit , @magrawala, @KurtKeutzer , and @cumulo_autumn

@ScottApogee The wargames that likely existed, but were never talked about before the 17th century.

Name a forgotten game that was hugely influential in the game industry. I'll start with a game sitting on my shelf...
