Hey everyone, I know we have lots of gamers in here so I wanted to share this resource I found with the community. It’s a list of video games that have used AI in development and to what extent. The list can be found linked 🔗here.

As far as I’m aware, it’s still being updated regularly. I’m genuinely so heartbroken over a few of these and I’m so, so tired of AI being everywhere.

I was thinking about The Golden Compass earlier because I'm going to be buddy reading that series later this year (rereading in my case because we actually read it in English class in 7th grade) and about the concept of daemons in that series, which is, to summarize briefly, an animal representation of your soul that lives in the physical world with you who you can talk to and interact with. Honestly, the dream. In the book, your daemon essentially settles into one animal form based on who you are for the rest of your life when you hit puberty.

And because I love animals and always love reasons for more animal talk - what would your daemon/animal form/however you want to conceptualize it be based on your personality and why? Post a picture if you want!

(To post a picture, use  without the spaces.)

I hope nobody has done this already 👀

I made a Letterboxd list with all of the movie adaptations of the books in this quest because I wanted to know how many I actually watched. Thought I‘d share in case anyone else here is, like me, about as insufferable about movies as they are about books 🎥

Funnily enough, Letterboxd is telling me I watched 28 of the movies, which is exactly one less than I read books. A complete coincidence, considering I a) definitely don’t have every movie I ever watched logged and b) most of them aren’t even ones where I read the book. I‘ll still call this double platinum 🙂‍↕️

My system for selecting movies was essentially copying the book title into Letterboxd and clicking on the first result. If there are any mistakes or the adaptation is not The One Everyone Has Watched, let me know!
