@steamboy33 @JCM1117 Thought you might like this @jyp_nft - saw you posted about Luca looking to hire someone for gaming. Azuki got theirs filled last week. They're still hiring Full Stack Product Engineer (Backend Leaning)

Love this Zhu. Yes we've been building some internal resources on the gaming side because I believe all great IPs in the future must have some gaming presence in order to tell better stories. I know things are taking a while as we put the pieces together to share with the community. The vision remains: create a decentralized brand/IP. Discord stages soon!

GFM to all @Azuki & especially @steamboy33 you are absolutely incredible, your work blows me away and causes immense insecurity. The Azuki website has been my home the last couple days. It's been a longtime coming but finally picked up my first Azuki Elemental! What do you think?

@Azuki @steamboy33 @JCM1117 Relistened to it again and even though we may not need reminders to why we’re here, @DemAzuki does an exceptional job at explaining there’s a grand vision, one that we all chose to believe in. Excited for what we’ve all done, and what’s to come.

“That was the intention this year, to give it one last throw of the dice. It is not the day to be making any statements” Grateful to Mattie Donnelly for talking after the game and being so open on their performance, what happened during the league and his future. What a warrior.

AOC: What happened today with Tony Gonzalez was disgusting, because those allegations have been out there for months. You have to ask yourself what changed today that allowed him to resign now, as opposed to last week, two weeks ago, or three weeks ago. The difference is that they were waiting on a political calculation—a numbers game. When someone is committing abuse, they should be out. It doesn’t matter whether a Democrat resigns, a Republican resigns, or whether there’s some kind of trade. If you are guilty of this, that’s it.

At the end of the day, as I discussed with Jordan Peterson, there are just two games to be played, one real, one Woke. The real game is called civilization. The false game is called power. A long post/🧵: The real divide between Woke and not Woke is in power. The Woke game is the power game, and it is a parasite on the real game, which is civilization. Here's roughly how Jordan described the foundation of this idea. There are various rules, norms, etc., in the game society ultimately plays, and these create a hierarchy that is based upon competence, mostly organically, obviously imperfectly. If the rules of the game are good enough, the imperfections (natural corruptions) are minor and society thrives. If they are not, you'll have problems. This is the real game of building society, and it ultimately has to favor competence. This game must be called "civilization" because that's not just its goal but it is also what it does. It civilizes us beyond our base instincts and impulses so we can work together productively in a healthy manner that generates prosperity. As Jordan put it, this game is also a reservoir of value, and reservoirs of value create parasites. What are these civilizational parasites? They’re parallel games organized by and around malignant psychopathological modes like Dark Tetrad traits, psychopathy, and Cluster-B disorders: histrionic, borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic. These malignant pathologies render people incompetent except at manipulation, so they cannot rise far in a healthy civilizational hierarchy. What do they do, then, to gain power and status in life in a game they cannot actually play? They define a parasitic parallel game and rope people into playing it. It is parasitic in that it draws off the real game (civilization) and mimics its form so that the hosts (people in society) are less likely to realize it’s there, but it doesn’t build or create of its own. It siphons and tears down. What drives this game is failing to see what makes the civilizational game and the hierarchy it produces legitimate in the first place. This is characteristic of the psychopathologies at its heart. The narcissist imagines the world should be serving himself at the top, but it isn’t. The problem can’t be himself, so it must be that the game is illegitimate. Otherwise, he’d be at the top, but he isn’t. Therefore, the game is corrupt. His histrionic nature makes him a victim of the real game, preying upon emotions like empathy and righteous indignation to recruit followers. Because of his Dark Tetrad alignment, his game is not only illegitimate but toxic. It’s inherently sadistic, cruel to its recruits in the way typical of all cults—alternating punishment and leniency or even love-bombing. It’s dishonest. It’s psychologically broken from reality. It’s also a Machiavellian game, which means it has no interest in moral or ethical behavior but only in power. Thus, this rival game to the game of civilization is the game of power. The parasitic game—that is, the power game—is based on a fundamental failure to understand the legitimacy of the civilizational game or the approximately legitimate hierarchy it produces. This is a result of its narcissism, mostly. The game cannot be legitimate because the psychopath isn’t on top of it, where he sees himself constantly as a projection from his frail ego. It sees power in the real hierarchy, though, which it can perceive and understand, and for which it blames most of its troubles. What this means is that the (Woke) power game develops a critical theory of the existing legitimate civilization game. That’s why Woke means “using critical theory (and activism).” A critical theory exists not to articulate a vision—at least not beyond a Utopia after the cult power game holds power to enforce its power game long enough—but to “criticize those aspects of the existing society we wish to change,” as Max Horkheimer, creator of the Critical Theory, put it. The critical theory of the power game exists to recruit by delegitimizing the civilization game in the minds of some of its players, usually ones who aren’t succeeding as well. It picks at “contradictions,” failures, and imperfections while casting the whole civilization game as corrupt and unjust. It offers itself as the only alternative to civilization game while pulling at the threads of the civilization game that allow people to believe in it. It all proceeds from the Woke failure to understand the legitimacy of the hierarchy of the civilization game as it proceeds from its set of rules. Misunderstanding legitimacy leads it to conclude that all hierarchies are actually based in power, and all power is fundamentally arbitrary. That is, they do not believe all power is illegitimate. They believe power is the only legitimate thing in any hierarchy, but they also believe that power is located in persons like themselves through their narcissism and projection. Think of Voldemort as an icon of this mode of thinking: “there is no good or evil, only power and those too weak to seek it.” Of course, that quintessential Dark Tetrad perspective is what ensures the psychopathological power game will be rigged to make sure the psychopaths are attracted to it and rise to its top. This belief is what we call Woke. The Woke game is the power game, and it is a parasitic competitor to the civilization game. There is no overlap between these two games. To adopt the power game is to abandon the civilization game entirely and, in fact, to become its enemy. But James, you might ask, isn’t there power in civilization? Yes, there is, and necessarily, but it isn’t what defines the civilization game. It’s a byproduct of the game, not the game itself. The civilization game is fundamentally the building out of an organic and dynamic hierarchy based on a set of rules, or what some people call “muh principles,” that will succeed or fail for that civilization in direct proportion to three things. 1) How aligned with the truth are the rules of the civilization game? 2) How aligned with justice are the rules of the civilization game? 3) How willing are the participants of the civilization game to defend their principles and their game, including against socio-parasitical perversion? The more aligned with truth and justice a civilization game is, the more successful it will be, and the more legitimate its hierarchy. The power that results as a byproduct is extremely legitimate in a highly aligned civilization where people haven’t forgotten their charge to defend the game itself, which is what we call responsibility. A civilization game strongly aligned with truth and justice filled with a preponderance of responsible people will produce a thriving, prosperous society. It only works this way every time. Not everyone is responsible, though. Some are also incompetent because of various pathologies (not talking about for other reasons). Those pathological players may, under certain circumstances, create a parasitic side game with themselves on top through a variety of strategies that mimic the values and principles of the real game while distorting them into power plays because their game is power, as discussed above. They will recruit into that game primarily from those who are resentful of the real game for any variety of reasons, and getting recruited into the power game from the civilization game is called “going Woke.”

'Larijani was killed after he lost his status as the main candidate for the leadership of the transition period,' — CNN host Amanpour. 'What's even worse for the US and Israel, even analysts on their side are now actually saying that it is Iran that is currently driving the situation. And we don't see any end to it. At least from the American side, it is believed that there is no way out of this situation, because everything is in the hands of the IRGC. Larijani was the Speaker of Parliament for many years, he is very close to the IRGC, was close to the former Supreme Leader. He was considered a preferred figure for the transition period. If they were looking for someone with whom they could agree, then in September last year, that is, about six months ago, he was the main candidate. But then in February this year, that is, about a month ago, he lost this status and became a target, as he took, as expected, a tough stance in response to the actions of the US and Israel after the start of the war. And this again raises the question: what is the plan of Israel and Trump, except to continue the bombings and, as the targets are exhausted, to increasingly approach strikes on civilian objects? And the number of civilian victims continues to grow.' - SK

Just wanted to address a mistake that we made on my socials earlier this week related to last weekends CFB Saturday. We posted a video where joey galloway and I were talking about how strange it was to be home and not traveling on a CFB weekend since end of August and how we felt like we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. We posted the video with a caption that was very misleading about “weird not having any CFB this weekend”. Some took that out of context and ran with it-that’s on me..my apologies for any disrespect (albeit unintentional) to the teams that played last weekend-especially Army Football and Navy Football Not sure there is a game I personally look forward to more EVERY year than Army and Navy-they play for the love for each other and love for the game-and anybody who has ever watched me for the last 30 years on TV knows how I feel about that game. Sorry for any confusion and again any disrespect that this created-it was a simple case of miscommunication. Just felt the need to address it. Thank you!

Here's the video of Tom Pelissero this morning on KFAN, with steam that the Vikings' QB competition is already nearing its end (plus some JJ trade speculation)... 👀👀👀 "I would anticipate, you know, as soon as this week... you may see the reps, it maybe evolve a little bit... I don't believe that Kevin needs to take this all the way through the third preseason game to determine his starting quarterback. You're going to probably have a pretty good idea by the end of spring what direction this is going to go."

The #Eagles, and you honestly have to admit, were fortunate to win the game against the #LARams. The Eagles blocked two field goals and the final one was at the end of the game, which turned a loss into a win, combined with the fact that #JordanDavis picked it up and ran it for a touchdown to end the game. As an aside, it was a big play for the betters in changing the outcome because Davis didn’t just fall on the ball- he scored a touchdown

Before this #vibejam, I was just casually creating game prototypes for fun, but this time, the Vibejam deadline became a good forcing function that pushed me to actually finish one. While this game is more of a demo than a complete product, it gave me a taste of how challenging it is to fully complete a game. It requires brutal task prioritization, effective time management, and tons of quality assurance (QA). As many say, the last 10% is the hardest, and I’d argue it’s doubly so for games. I now have even more respect for game developers at all levels who manage to ship their games. And there you have it, my game, Gnome Mercy: Insect Invasion. It’s a Vampire Survivors-style game where you play as a gnome on a rampage, annihilating alien insects invading his garden. At the start of each run, the lord of the garden bestows a blessing if you can answer his riddle, powered by an LLM (with fallback riddles in case it fails). The objective is to fight through waves of enemies and survive as long as possible. A huge shoutout to Retro Diffusion by Astropulse for all the AI-generated sprites, artworks, icons, and more. The music was created by Not Jam, the retro chiptunes are amazing. This game is a special homage to Luca 🧄, creator of Vampire Survivors, for inventing the best game genre in recent years! And no, I don’t code at all. The code is 100% generated by @windsurf and built on PhaserJS. Game link below👇

.Amjad Masad : Creating software is going to be one of the most exciting areas. The average person will soon be as capable as what a senior software engineer is today, as we shift from doing the work to directing it. Instead of coding line by line, you’ll run multiple agents in parallel, building the frontend, refactoring the database, shipping features, all in the background. On top of that, you’ll have a clean interface to design and interact with AI more creatively. Software creation is moving from execution to orchestration, and soon, it won’t be a specialised skill, it’ll be the baseline.

William Friedkin on the most important part of directing a movie: "It changes at different points in the making of the film. Initially, the most important decision you make is to decide what story you're going to tell. There's no decision more important than that. Because the commercial cinema, in which I work, is a storytelling medium. It's not necessarily a medium for... well, it isn't at all a medium for documentary purposes, for educational purposes, for experimental purposes. It's strictly a medium of entertainment. And the other aspects of it, if there are any, come as a kind of by-product of the audience experiencing the story. So, the most important decision I make as a filmmaker is to decide what story I'm going to do. There's nothing more important than that...ever. Once the story is decided, it then becomes a matter of translating the story into details; it becomes a matter of how I'm going to tell it. And the next most important elements are the casting and the people who are going to work on the film." (William Friedkin's interview with Gerald R. Barrett, 1975) Clip from: Sorcerer (1977) Director: William Friedkin

Xgame is now available to download for free on Mac, Windows, and Linux. 🌌 This started a week ago, when Unity launched the Unity CLI. I plugged in Grok Build and Grok 4.5 and asked for a 3D world. Then I thought, can it make a beautiful ocean and sky? Then it evolved further into a simple island game, just to see what was possible. No design doc. No pipeline plan. Every answer came back better than the last one, and somewhere in that loop the experiment stopped feeling like a demo and started feeling like a game. So I changed the question. Instead of an island, I asked for space. Dogfights. Capital ships. Missions with weight. The pipeline that formed around it wasn’t something I designed on a whiteboard. First it grew out of what I needed next. Combat that punched. Enemies that pushed back. Ships that existed as code, not downloads. Tools to manage the clips and the assets because the game was growing faster than any manual process could keep up. That’s the discovery that stuck with me. I wasn’t “using AI to help me code a game.” I was building the game by talking to the system that was writing it, running it, and shipping builds for it over and over, until it felt right. Then something I didn’t plan for happened. People saw it. A lot of people.The early footage traveled farther than expected. Elon Musk shared it. And then a few days later Unity’s CEO reached out. Not a cold form letter, a real “we’ll have people contact you.” A week earlier I was poking the new Unity CLI with Grok. Suddenly the company behind the engine was looking at what came out of that experiment. I didn’t set out to prove a thesis. I set out to see if one person, with the right harness, could go from a blank project to something you’d actually want to play. The answer turned out to be YES and the shocking part isn’t any single feature. It’s that the whole thing was vibe-coded end to end. The game, the polish passes, even the little systems that made the next pass possible. Xgame is free because that was always the point. No launcher. No account. No store page. Download it, open it, and play. If you’ve been waiting for permission to try building something like this yourself this is it. The tools are here. The game is live and this is only the beginning.

Xgame is now available to download for free on Mac, Windows, and Linux. 🌌 This started a week ago, when Unity launched the Unity CLI. I plugged in Grok Build and Grok 4.5 and asked for a 3D world. Then I thought, can it make a beautiful ocean and sky? Then it evolved further into a simple island game, just to see what was possible. No design doc. No pipeline plan. Every answer came back better than the last one, and somewhere in that loop the experiment stopped feeling like a demo and started feeling like a game. So I changed the question. Instead of an island, I asked for space. Dogfights. Capital ships. Missions with weight. The pipeline that formed around it wasn’t something I designed on a whiteboard. First it grew out of what I needed next. Combat that punched. Enemies that pushed back. Ships that existed as code, not downloads. Tools to manage the clips and the assets because the game was growing faster than any manual process could keep up. That’s the discovery that stuck with me.

University of Houston baseball coach Todd Whitting expects he'll meet with AD Eddie Nunez soon, possibly as early as today, as his future is decided. Whitting to PaperCity Magazine on if he's thought that this could be it, that this game could have been his last as UH's coach: "Till I'm not the head baseball coach here, I am. I love this university. I love the people in it. "Those guys on the field. The coaching staff. All those people sitting up in the stands. It's a great place. It's a great university. It has great leadership. I look forward to seeing what's ahead at the University of Houston."

“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” - Shigeru Miyamoto That philosophy applies here too. Taking the time to get this update right matters. Our goal is to deliver meaningful updates twice a year, but when more time is needed, it’s to make sure we’re doing it right. Spearhead moves #GZW forward as if it was a brand new game. Update 0.4 is about bringing you back to when you first experienced 0.1, with that same sense of discovery and tension, now more refined, more responsive, and more player agency, which I love the most. This is the TRUE version of #GrayZoneWarfare that we are bringing to you guys on March 31st. 💪

Asked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander what was going through his mind as he sat on the bench down the stretch of a loss for the first time this season: “I could feel it out there, how the game was going. Just on both ends of the floor, (we were) not getting done what we need to get done. By that time the game is over. You just learn the lesson and chalk it up.”

“He was kind of the first guy that I ever saw during a captain’s practice going 110mph, finishing checks, and it was very eye opening for me as a young guy. I’m like oh ok this is what it takes to win.” Whether it was practice or game, when the puck dropped the game was on for Claude Lemieux.
