Face lookup of contacts so I get reminded of people’s names.
Okay, I stop reading here. That’s fucking insane.

What gets me so often in retro gaming is the desire of some to “repair” the past.
This would indicate the ‘hate’ is on ideological grounds.
I tend to agree, if I’m being honest. I sometimes see the retro modding community excited about improvements they’ve made: new models swapped in for characters, upscaled backgrounds with 10x the detail that was ever put into them, 4k textures stretched over low-poly objects like an animal wearing a skin suit. And these are called ‘better’. This is how new people are told to play these old games: we have added 4 cups of sugar to make the horrible taste easier to swallow.
I see this and I think… why? Why be this way?
Can you imagine if we raised new generations to treat paintings the same way? The Mona Lisa is not worth seeing because it is too old and ugly, but it can be made tolerable to one’s senses with the new power of AI?
This image is profane. It can only be produced by a sick people.
I worry that people’s desire for this kind of thing indicates a lack of curiosity in life. An unwillingness to do anything not already familiar to them. I would consider this attitude a character flaw in most people, if I met them.
Aww :)
