I was going to suggest CoD as well … the whole series is mostly a carbon copy of the previous version. Let alone the gameplay is "run for 30 seconds, die, respawn and repeat.

For some reason this brought back old old memories from the trams in Vienna.

It’s not so much that they down- and upscale the video of shorts, their algorithm changes the look of people. It warps skin and does a strange sort of sharpening that makes things look quite unreal and almost plastic.

It is a filter that evens the look with images generated by, say, grok or one of the other AI filters.

In a year people will think that “AI-look” is a normal video look, and stuff generated with it is what humans can look like. We will see crazed AI-fashion looks popping up.

Adding to that: Star Wars 1313

Would have been amazing to get a gritty Star Wars game with a good storyline. Star Wars Jedi:fallen order leaned a bit towards it but is not so gritty/dark.

Bah, each time I want to do the manual upgrade from 23h2 I have to postpone it again due to some stupid bug or annoying feature that makes me reconsider doing it.

It kind of sounds like the beginnings of star trek’s replicators…

But that aside, somehow I doubt those are the exact only “ingredients” they use.
And it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the end product contains all kinds of trace elements of various not so healthy chemicals used to get the parts to combine into the actual butter.
Like the process to get the glycerol or lecithin in a state they can use.

Ofcourse a lot of our dietary ingredients are contaminated in various levels anyway.
