the chilling shift in tone when she said “i gave you that voice” and proceeded to deliver a masterclass read that says a lot by saying a little. i know she’s evil but you can never make me hate her
Tyra Banks addresses rumored beef with Law Roach:
“I actually haven’t even talked to Law, but I see him talking, chile. Every interview he’s got something to say about Miss Banks…. I see you, boo. […] I gave you that voice. I was the first person to put you on TV and told you that you were a star.” (via @etnow)

I think GTA 6 will flop. people don’t actually want another GTA game. they just want to return to the world of 2013 when GTA 5 was released. Macklemore’s thrift shop was the #1 song. Tesla released the model S. the most popular site was buzzfeed. breaking bad. game of thrones. house of cards. all in 2013. kanye's yeezus, Daft Punk's random access memories, drake’s nothing was the same. all in 2013. but that world is gone now.

OoT is part of a category I call Sgt. Pepper Media, which is to say that it is so influential on nearly every piece of related media that came after it that it's difficult to judge objectively by today's standards.
Every adventure game you love post-OoT takes cues from it. Most albums you love post-Sgt. Pepper take cues from it. Most western comics take inspiration from Watchmen.
At a certain point, related media is taking inspiration from this category of art without even noticing it sometimes. There is media so influential to it's medium that it can feel like a fish not knowing it's in water.
I don't really like OoT and never really have, but it's something that has been so influential that you have to really appreciate it.

Kids these days will never experience the humiliation ritual of game developers pulling up to E3 and just lying.

Kids deserve to know the joy of a video game series delivering multiple times within their childhood.

I wonder how the salmon interpret this mentally
Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon
they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7
the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them
as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon
the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off
but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon
so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day:
> two cameras watch every salmon that swims past
> AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse
> then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away
> the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead
we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao
