Don't use Project 64.
Hey all, a new extremely dangerous vulnerability was discovered in Project64, a very popular N64 emulator. If you emulate N64 games, I highly highly recommend switching off P64 for an alternative, such as Mupen.

CONTROVERSY: Did From Software Use CGI in Shadow of the Erdtree?
FIJMU News 5-23-24 by Scrute Schroedinger
With the new trailer for Elden Ring's upcoming DLC, sharp eyed viewers think they may have caught From Software in the act of using computer generated imagery.
Tumblr media
According to Computer Graphics expert Khan Putretsper, "I've seen quite a few pixels in my day and I'm certain the trailer contains at least three. This may not have been shot on film, it may not even have any live action footage in it whatsoever."
With recent controversies over Disney using AI in their films, novelists using ChatGPT writing in their stories, and even certain celebrities such as Hatsune Miku using autotune and pitch-shifting technology to change their voices, From Software is the latest to face accusations right as their new work is released.
Computer Generated Imagery or "CGI" was first used in the film "Tron," which lost its special effects nomination for such a cheat. Still, CGI has been used on films such as James Cameron's "Avatar," M. Night Shyamalan's film "The Last Airbender," and Netflix's series "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Now From Software will have to face the scrutiny of its audiences. According to gamer and watchdog group founder Luigi Samus Zeldasen, "I'd hate to see a game like Elden Ring stoop use a computer for its imagery, but I've seen the new trailer myself, and I don't think that tower of ten thousand skinned bodies is real."
Troubling words indeed.

The entire game industry is still reeling from yesterday's bombshell announcement that Microsoft—hot on the heels of its $69 billion acquisition of Activision—would be laying off 1,900 employees across Activision-Blizzard and Xbox. Inevitably, Twitter is awash with reactions highlighting the human cost, both from dazed devs waking up in a world in which they no longer have jobs, and from others wondering what this all means for the months and years ahead. The posts by former Blizzard devs are too many to count. "After years of applying," wrote former QA learning specialist Cole McElwain in a much-retweeted post, "I finally secure a job at Blizzard. I move to California and am welcomed with an incredible team. I couldn't be more excited to start… "Four months into the job, I'm laid off. What the hell, Microsoft?"

SEGA of America accused of mass layoff threats and improper bargaining in new labour complaint
Tumblr media
An unfair labour practice complaint has been filed by the Communications Workers of America against Sonic the Hedgehog publisher SEGA of America amid allegations of improper bargaining with its union, the Allied Employees Guild Improving SEGA.
The complaint alleged that SEGA threatened to outsource the jobs of union workers to their Japanese and European departments, in a described "phase out" of all temporary workers at the publisher's Irvine, California office.
The proposal was tendered directly to the employees in a compulsory company meeting, as opposed to bargaining with the guild, potentially in violation of U.S. labour laws.
The layoffs is reportedly expected to eliminate around 80 positions, which is around 40 percent of the newly-formed union. The guild is largely comprised of workers from the departments of QA and localization.
Tumblr media
"SEGA will not be allowed to get away with this unlawful behaviour," said SEGA quality assurance tester Elise Willacker in a statement to Kotaku.
"We call on the company to make all temporary employees permanent and return to the bargaining table in good faith. There is no other just alternative," said Willacker.
The complaint will go to the U.S. National Labour Relations Board, but action may not be taken in time before the layoffs occur.
SEGA has not responded to media requests for comment.
