Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-20-26
I present for your reading enjoyment our daily selection of Pook-Emu Bee links for Monday, April 20, 2026. 1. AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns (Maggie Harrison DuprΓ© for Futurtism. April 14, 2026.) The top-line results are consistent with my priors. While I am not sure how useful the specific methodology of the study is, I appreciate that it used solving math problems as an example in light of my recent NLJ post, AI Today, Calculators Back [β¦]https://social.emucafe.org/naferrell/pook-emu-bee-links-for-04-20-26/
Okami was released 20 years ago on 20th April 2006 for PS2 in Japan.
Last week Friday, Dark Souls 3 was released worldwide 10 years ago. Somehow that completely passed by me unnoticed.
I was doing some tidying today and found media for one of the best computer games of all time: 1995's SubSpace from Virgin Interactive.
You may have heard of this game called Continuum, but its first name was SubSpace. It was only many years after its release that a client was released under the name Continuum.
I played a lot of this game and still think about it from time to time. The tagline to this game is "Meet people from all over the world...then kill them."
Die Siedler II was released 30 years ago in Germany on 17th April 1996 for DOS.
Alongside X-Wing and Worms, this was one of the first games that I played for a considerable time and really understood how to play, other than having a turn at platformer or fighting games on a friend's console.
