The Imgur Apocalypse Is Going To Break Large Parts of the Internet
The move is also going to be disastrous for the continuity of the internet. Like Photobucket before it, Imgur has been widely used to host millions of photos that are linked to, embedded, or used elsewhere, and lots of these photos were uploaded by people who didn’t bother to sign up for accounts. Imgur is especially popular as a host for Reddit, meaning the content of those old posts could suddenly disappear off the internet. The move will likely also break embeds in various forum posts and blog posts all over the internet, creating an unpleasant form of link rot. (The Archive Team, generally a harbinger of shuttering sites, is working on backing up this material, according to an announcement on Reddit.)

12 of Twitter’s Best Jokes and Memes About Elon Musk’s Blue Check Apocalypse
Since the beginning of Elon Musk’s reign at Twitter, he’s threatened to remove the legacy verification—signified by a white check in a blue circle beside the account name—that predated his tenure.

Mask of the Rose marries romance and murder in the apocalypse
Rejoice, delicious friend, for our descent into the Neath is at hand. It’s been four long years since the release of Sunless Skies, and while Failbetter Games’ speculative steampunk future of Fallen London left the station with a triumphant billow of steam, it’s been a long time since we’ve stumbled over the gaslit cobbles of the doomed city itself. Enter Mask of the Rose, a visual novel that promises to bring Fallen London into stark, often unnerving focus. To cut to the heart of the matter, we caught up with Failbetter Games senior producer Stuart Young at WASD 2023 to talk love, death, and bats. So many bats.
An AI that could make you better at video games? Bring on the skynet apocalypse
Are you shit at video games? Maybe AI could be your key to finally getting good, either that or it could put you out of a job. As a fighting game player, that last fear is something you’re likely used to – so you may be happy to hear about one concept AI program that could analyse your Street Fighter matches.
This comes via a small video from Twitter user JP, a UX product designer from Greater Vancouver who has recently published some concepts online that are all focused on fighting games. Their concept is an AI-assisted program that will look through your matches from YouTube, pick out moments in which you do well, and point out issues in your shitty flowchart Ken.
There has long been a debate around the training systems present in games like Street Fighter, where the road to improvement can be vague and largely an effort in trial and error online. This grind, largely a big appeal of the game in the long run, is an accepted norm. However, with the use of AI, maybe you could identify how exactly to improve your game in the near future.
