The White House's Violence in Video Games

Patrick Stewart Looks Further Into His Dad's Shell Shock

noims says...

I've been struggling to find the right adjective to use to describe your story, but all I can say is thank you for telling it. It's personal accounts like this that really bring home the effects of war, and this is what happened to the victors!

I admit I don't read much non-fiction, but I hold a very special place in my heart and my life for Spike Milligan's war diaries which, along with the Maus graphic novels, taught me more about the reality of war than I ever wanted to know. Like your story they are so relatable and so full of banality and horror side-by-side that my disgust for the instigators makes it painful to try to see things from their point of view.

I try to eliminate unconscious bias where I spot it, but here I just can't. Unfortunately this disgust also stops me from wanting to learn more.

Possible, but I don't really think so. [...] I'd wager that when the docs said Stewart's father's shell shock was a reaction to aerial bombardment, that was really just a face-saving measure to try to explain away the perceived "weakness" of his condition.

A Computer Vision System's Walk Through Times Square

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I love this kind of stuff. It's amazing that GPUs are the secret to good computer vision. Graphics cards are not only good at generating 3d worlds, but taking the real 3d world and converting it back to something virtual Fantastic.

Pacific Rim Uprising - Official Trailer

Steve Jobs Foretold the Downfall of Apple!

ulysses1904 says...

I supported the Macs in offices and graphics departments for about 15 years and was a big advocate. Apple used to have a commercial where they compared the stacks of manuals you needed to run a PC, with the small booklet that came with the Mac.

Now every update to iTunes makes me cringe, the GUI is like a cockpit and I feel like I need a stack of manuals to do what used to be simple.

Photo realism in video games

4K 60fps Photo Realism With Unreal 4 Engine

notarobot says...

Exactly. At a time when Microsoft and Sony were pushing graphics, Nintendo nailed gameplay.

so, one thought; the original Wii was success without having the highest graphics, but offering great games and an original experience.

And---while I look forward to great engines (though water and skin and hair are still so hard to get right)--the story and the mechanics are more important to me...

4K 60fps Photo Realism With Unreal 4 Engine

ChaosEngine says...

This is a really good example of showing what video game graphics are really good at (static scenes with hard materials) and what they're not so good at but getting better (natural organic materials, humans with complex animations).

That said, as impressive as it is, we are still a long way off "photo realism".

Counter Protest Attacked In Charlottesville, Va

newtboy says...

Yes, and would be improper if it didn't meet the criteria for exemptions to the snuff ban.
I did intentionally avoid posting the much more graphic videos of the same attack, but it's important news, so exempt (imo).

Apparently, wouldn't this be snuff?

The 7th Guest: Official Trailer

ant says...

What was amazing was the outdated polygon graphics, MIDI music, etc. that still scared us. I remember having a hard time in the attic. Its controls and camera views drove me crazy! Haha. I never actually got far too in the full game. Did you finish it?

Right? I still remember tiptoeing through that attic... *shudder*

Trump in Crisis - Grand Jury, Leaked Phone Calls, Low Poll

noims says...

True, but only 26% said they were proud to have him as president (graphic at 0:51).

ChaosEngine said:

It's hardly surprising that 54% of Americans are embarrassed by Trump... 52% of the ones that voted, voted for Hillary.
