I just got done watching a truly horrible movie at Sundance ("The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist"). It was introduced by the Sundance programming rep as having "a strong sense of informational integrity", but it's hard to imagine a characterization more off the mark.

A long thread 🧵>>

Were coconuts not commonplace in Europe?

We don't know where onions originated because their use predates written language.

He's an idiot. We were using peppers before we got our hands on chillies.

Tell him Peru and Thailand have more varieties of chillies to burst his nerve.

The recent rain hasn't been bad for everyone.

This wild boar was spotted enjoying splashing about in the mud in the Forest of Dean.

Thank you to Zbigniew Waćkowski for sending this footage in.

 

In my mid-30s but didn't grow up with video games.

When I started playing them on my own PC, it was NFS, Half Life, Rise of Nations, and Call of Duty that got me hooked.

Now that I'm looking for games to play on my Deck, most of the games perfect for portable gaming appear to be with pixel art aesthetic.

Just why? Is this nostalgia? In the 90s, deveopers were using every trick possible to squeeze performance out of hardware (been watching videos about old games like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Prince of Persia, Doom etc) and I can't even get indie games with some eye candy?

Never have I been so disappointed to find out that Balatro and Vampire Survivors are pixel art games. My interest disappeared faster than a Lamborghini.

Whatever happened to other art styles? Why don't we see games with vector or pseudo-3D (or 2.5D) art?

Anyway, that's my unpopular opinion I guess.
