Nice uses of "AI" I can imagine: you're reading a message with times in it sent by someone in a different time zone so the computer offers to convert them to yours
The uses of "AI" that we actually get: you bought one fridge so now you will get lots of ads for more refrigerators. If you don't buy more refrigerators someone will get paid less maybe
e-stim kink adjacent, VR, motion sickness, research paper
so i was lurking a chat that drifted into the topic of VR flight sims.
an acquaintance of mine who's doing his Ph.D in HCI with a VR specialization mentioned something about simulator sickness being a partially solved problem thanks to 30+ years of research, but that the solutions were either expensive, or involved shocking yourself.
the chat was not enthusiastic about the second option.
except for me, immediately hand up, thinking about two great tastes that taste great together.
anyway here's one paper he sent me on the e-stim option for mitigating simulator sickness: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1472-6882-13-84
30 day VGM thing, day 20 because i missed a day heck
Racing game - Splash Wave from Outrun, of course! The original, the best, my absolute favourite out of that game, and even when I play other racing games... I'm still thinkin' 'bout Outrun. Can't help it! I don't think I've found a version of Splash Wave I don't like honestly. (that is not a challenge please ;w; ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdSDIw8uTxo
30 day VGM thing, day 19
Cover of music by another artist - I THINK this is to do with a song from a videogame that you like the COVER version of, I guess... hm. In which case, "Dream of a Rabbit Singing in the Night" by Undead Corporation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGSnW2bK2cY Touhou has some great music but not a lot is super listenable to me? But this version of Reisen's theme is absolutely incredible, vocals and all. Wonderful blend of electric guitars and traditional instruments.

@vyr @Nine
what miasmic shadow penetrates your heart, freezing it to the suffering of the people you once fought to help? what dread devilkin gives husky, whispered voice to perverse and horrific urges, plucking your own thoughts out and replacing them with its merry whims? what remains of you that is human, and what of you is already a vessel for umbral flavour?
@LilyVers explicitly told me not to do this. her exact words were:
> you will find knowledge moving forward, but it will bring no comfort, no wealth, no power, no pleasure. there is no one at the end of this shadowy path who will reward your sacrifice, no pleased smile or soft lips or kind, slender hands to soothe your broken body, your reaved mind. ahead lies only ruin. ahead lies a Pyrrhic satisfaction. ahead lies a pit whose sides are slick, and you, seeker, you dare to think you carry a rope long enough to climb out. TURN BACK.
so, anyway, here's
Okay so Castlevania Simon's Destiny, the GZDoom reimagining of the first castlevania? .... pretty good.
You'd think a first person perspective and the doom engine itself might make the game easier.
