Sunset Visitor’s upcoming game Prove You’re Human bears an ominous title. Its debut trailer is just as provocative as its name lets on, and introduces us to Mesa, a seemingly rogue AI who has dreamt of her body and needs irrefutable proof that she is not human. The upcoming title from the developer behind 2024’s critically acclaimed sci-fi narrative 1000xResist purports to address a growing anxiety around the notion of human performance and things that try to pass for us.Elsewhere, a late-night worker at a gas station must check IDs and reference a database filled with the specific characteristics that…

Yesterday, I was casually browsing Bluesky and came across this delightful thread: Man, I love late-’90s/early-’00s websites, don’t you? The simplicity. The goofy fonts. The visitor counters. The personality! That whole thread is gold, truly, not just for the retro vibes but also for the sheer hilarity that is seeing websites that are massive, corporate-owned mazes today in their primaeval forms as personal blogging spaces about marriage, growing older, religion, travel, and other humdrum human activities. The thread above canvases earlier incarnations of sites including doordash.com, hulu.com, slack.com, x.com (not nearly the worst place on the web!!!!), and more. But…

Mayor Kingpin is no more. After two seasons of Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) ruling New York City with an iron fist, the Daredevil: Born Again season 2 finale concluded in a monumental courtroom episode. With Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) on trial for aiding Daredevil’s vigilante efforts, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) decides that the best way to help her is to reveal himself as Daredevil. He is soon arrested for the crimes of his superhero alter ego, but not before he and an angry mob of New Yorkers successfully demand Fisk’s resignation. With all that — and from what we’ve…

There’s a lot of talk about Grand Theft Auto VI at IICON, the new executive-focused video game conference in Las Vegas being put on by the Entertainment Software Association. Most of that talk is understandably coming from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, or from other gaming executives. But it’s also coming from, apparently, Bank of America, with a stock analyst for the bank declaring, after speaking to attendees at IICON, that GTA 6 should and will cost $80, so that other AAA companies don’t have trouble selling their own games. This comes from Bank of America stock analyst Omar Dessouky, who…

Nvidia revealed its newest DLSS 5 technology in March. It’s intended to make games look more photorealistic, but in practice drastically alters the appearance of characters. People quickly clowned on the “AI slop” tech, posting meme after meme online making fun of how the DLSS 5 can drastically alter a character’s appearance. Resident Evil Requiem’s Grace was the unwitting poster child for the DLSS 5 technology, and gamers by and large rejected her DLSS 5 appearance. In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa seemed pleased with how players responded to the situation. “The fact a lot of…
