• How One Palworld Pal Has Become the Community's Most Hated
    gamerant.com
    The islands of Palworld are full of many interesting creatures, all of which have unique qualities and traits that make them either desired or disliked by players. But whether people like them or not, there's no denying that they're beneficial when used right, as many Pals can be considered best for combat, base work, traveling, etc. But there is one that, despite how useful it can be if it were to be a party member, has proven to be quite an annoyance, mainly due to what it does as an enemy.

  • Our favorite memories of and tributes to the great David Lynch
    www.polygon.com
    On Wednesday, David Lynch, the avant-garde artist, musician, and director best known for Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, passed away. He was 78 years old.Words fail to encapsulate the sheer breadth and depth of his creative legacy, to say nothing of his impact on generations of artists who grew up influenced by him and his work . Lynch was, at once, inimitable and endlessly imitated; an artist who cast his unflinching gaze to the darkest corners and impulses of American life, yet he remained resolute in his belief in humanitys capacity for good.He was, and remains, one of the most idiosyncratic creators of his lifetime, a sagely and mercurial personality with a wry sense of humor and unflappably earnest commitment to what he so lovingly referred to as The Art Life.In the wake of the news of Lynchs death, the internet has seen an outpouring of love and remembrances from friends, colleagues, and admirers of his nearly 60-year-long career. Weve pulled together a collection of some of our favorite tributes, memories, and celebrations of Lynch and his art. Feel free to chime off in the comments and share some of your favorite Lynchisms.And if you can believe it, its a Friday once again.Kyle MacLachlan, actorNaomi Watts, actorMdchen Amick, actor View this post on Instagram A post shared by Madchen Amick (@madchenamick)John Carpenter, directorI got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago.

  • How to Make Your Own Weird Emojis on an iPhone
    lifehacker.com
    Of all the new and weird AI features in Apple Intelligence, perhaps Genmoji is the most exciting one. Though it's in beta, and its output can range from weird to terrifying, it's still fun to make and sure your own custom emojis.Genmoji, as the name sounds, is an amalgamation of generative AI and Emoji. Simply put, you give it a prompt, and it will generate an emojia small, sticker-sized image that can be saved to be reused in chats. While you're always limited by Apple's guardrails, you can use the feature to create emojis that you wish existed, but don't. Of course, generative AI is far from perfect, and you may find you generate Genmoji that you wish were never created.Like with Image Playground, getting something good out of Genmoji can be a struggle. But I'll walk you through how the feature works, and how you can create something that both works and is fun. If you'd like to annoy your spouse with a rainbow glitter poop emoji in a middle of the workday, here's how to make it happen.How to create Genmoji on your iPhoneTo access Genmoji, you'll need to use iOS 18.2 on an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 series. Then, you'll need to sign up and clear the Image Playground waitlist. To do this, open the Image Playground app, and tap Request Early Access. When it's ready, you'll receive a notification and Genmoji will be unlocked.Once you've done that, you can create a Genmoji anywhere on the iPhone, right from the keyboard. Tap the Emoji button to switch to the Emoji keyboard, then tap the new colorful rainbow Emoji button in the top-right. (In general, the way to spot an Apple Intelligence feature is to look for the new, colorful thing that has come out of nowhere.) Credit: Khamosh Pathak Now, you'll see a new Genmoji creation screen. Here, give it a prompt, as detailed as you can. You can make things really weird by using your name, or anyone in your contact book, and make an emoji based on an AI-generated version of their face. Results might be jarring, or hilarious. Here's me in a cowboy hat for reference. Credit: Khamosh Pathak Genmoji will generate multiple emojis, and you can swipe through all the versions it makes. When you find one you like, tap the Add button from the top. This will send the Genmoji to the current conversation, and it will be added to your Stickers area in the Emoji keyboardready to be used again and again.If you like a Genmoji that someone has sent, you can tap on it to view details and add it to your own collection.Tips on creating fun GenmojiGenerating a good Genmoji means waking a thin line between absurdist AI images, and something that looks like a regular emoji, all while staying within Apple's guardrails. There are some things you just can't do, like making Genmoji of someone who isn't already populated by your iPhone's Photos data. Credit: Khamosh Pathak That said, I was able to generate an angry emoji flipping the bird, so that's nice. And yes, for scientific reasons, I can confirm that you indeed can generate an emoji featuring an eggplant on a peach. But guns are off limits: Like regular emojis, you're stuck with water pistols, if anything at all. The key to a good Genmoji is being descriptive. Use specific words describing feelings or emotions (e.g. "happy," or "tears"), and use descriptive verbs, then mix and match these things to see what Genmoji ends up creating. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries or different wording to get what you want. When I started out, I couldn't get it to generate a poop emoji, but with some different wording, I was able to get what I wanted, a "poop rainbow glitter" emoji!How to delete GenmojiGenmoji, once created, always shows up in suggestions when you open the emoji keyboard. This might get embarrassing if you've made one of the Genmoji I talked about above. And if you try to delete them from the emoji keyboard, you'll find that it's just not possible. That requires a trip to the Messages app. Credit: Khamosh Pathak In the Messages app, open any iMessage conversation, then tap the big Plus button above the keyboard. Now, choose the Stickers app. You'll see all your Genmoji stickers listed here. Simply tap and hold on a sticker and choose the Remove option to get rid of it. Not only will this delete your Genmoji from Stickers, it'll ensure the Genmoji disappears from your emoji keyboard as well.

  • Charge Cars rescued by private investors, so bring on that electric 67 Mustang replica
    www.engadget.com
    UK EV startup Charge Cars has been acquired by a group of private investors. The company will continue development of the 67, which is an all-electric replica of the iconic 1967 Ford Mustang.CEO Paul Abercrombie said in a statement that the acquisition will allow final development at our new global HQ in the UK and that the company will be rapidly delivering this exciting luxury vehicle to consumers. He also noted that more details would be forthcoming.The 67 is hand-crafted, with a body licensed by Ford. It will include central floor-mounted batteries, for an optimized center of gravity, with quad-motor technology that offers 400kW of peak power and 1,520 Nm of torque. The company promises the highest standards of safety and vehicle dynamics.The car will boast an all-new fully bespoke digital touchscreen interface, which is the first time Ive ever read the word bespoke in reference to a touchscreen. The infotainment system will offer Apple and Android compatibility.Charge Cars started this project all the way back in 2016, but has run into a series of hiccups along the way. The company has long-been linked to the EV company Arrival, sharing a founder in Denis Sverdlov and certain technologies. Arrival had a promising start, inking a deal with UPS to supply delivery trucks throughout the US and Europe.Unfortunately, Arrival went belly up. Charge Cars struggled on, but the reliance on Arrivals tech and components became a real problem. It looks like this cash injection will solve that particular issue. Charge originally planned on making around 500 of the 67 replica EV, but we dont know if it plans on sticking to that. The company says that further news will be revealed imminently.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/charge-cars-rescued-by-private-investors-so-bring-on-that-electric-67-mustang-replica-171205211.html?src=rss

  • I have lists on lists: Kelly Wearstler shares her secrets to cultivating creativity
    www.fastcompany.com
    Kelly Wearstler has a motto: Old soul, new spirit, she says. With a 70-person team at her Los Angeles-based studio, Wearstler is the principal and founder of a robust interior and industrial design practice. In her more than 30-year career, shes built that business, launched a fashion line, written a few books, completed her first architectural project, and has just launched her own Substack, Wearstler World.A boy mom who nerds out equally at thrift stores and Fashion Week, Wearstler says her experience teaching a MasterClass showed her how powerful storytelling and community can be. Shes a creature of habit, loves a list, and unapologetically sticks to a strict morning routine that, she says, sets her up for success. Her design philosophy is akin to collecting an eclectic group of friends, wanting nothing to be too perfect, too square, too round, too new, or too old. Leveraging different disciplines, artforms, materials, and perspectives is how she strikes the balance between vintage and innovative, for which her studio is best known.Ive always had a creative spirit. I grew up with strong women in my life; my mom was the most creative out of all of them. Both my grandmothers worked full-time jobs. My mom would always go to thrift stores and break at every yard sale. Wed go to Brimfield. I remember having an allowance, and fashion was my first foray into design. We would go to thrift stores and Id say, Oh my god, I love that belt or scarf. It was about educating my eye and having a wandering eye, being curious, looking at things, turning them over. Thats why I love history, and things that are imperfect. Things that have soul.[Screenshot: Wearstler World]I am a creature of habit and I love organization. Its the key to success and allows me time. I have steady routines. I get up at 5 a.m. so I have time in the morning to myself. I read the The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. I read digital magazines. I work out for an hour and half in the morning. I do my sauna and a five minute meditation at the end before I wake Crosby [her son].When I go to the studio, Im focused. Im not looking at texts. Im with my team and Im really there. Im a list person. I have lists on lists. I make time and plan ahead. I like being one step ahead. Unless Im traveling, thats where I am every day. Im a stickler, and I want my team there, too. The most creative ideas come from sitting around a table together, laying out a set of construction documents and pinning things up on the wall. I have a home studio. After Crosby goes to bed, Ill work some nights. Its quiet and some great ideas come during that time.Its so important to go to artists workshops and studios. To be a good designer, you have to know how things are assembled, how things are put together. There are always discoveries to be made. Thats something they dont teach you in school.Its good to hit roadblocks; It makes you a better designer. We get to solving the problem of designcreativity or functionalitysometimes it takes a long time to figure it out. Im about putting the pencil down and giving it a few days, really just thinking about it and going back to what the original program was. Start at the absolute beginning again. Have conversations with your team and talk it through. Ill say to the architects, go talk to the industrial designers. The studio is a cross pollination of so many disciplines. Its about having many voices and radical candor, being honest with everyone on your team. Saying, I think we need to continue working on it. We dont have a formula. Sometimes things just take more time. The creative flow can be bumpier, but at the end of the day you have a project or product that feels unique and special.My sources of inspiration are so far-reaching. Ive always admired people who did many different things. I read that book, Rangeits really good. Everything you do outside of your main profession strengthens every other thing you do. I took my team to the Petersen Automotive Museum. I discovered so many details. These low-rider cars and the storytelling that goes into every one of them. The tricks these cars can do, to the craftsmanship. Different generations of families worked on these cars for 10 years. Theyre works of art; just the tooling and the paint, the embroidery on the seats. Its phenomenal for anyone in the creative world.Old soul, new spirit. Thats a motto of mine. To be a good designer, you have to know history. You have to know whats been donestyles and periodsand the talents that have moved us forward from the past. I like things that are imperfect.Every single project of ours, Id say 50% is antique or vintage pieces. I dress that way; today I have an old jacket on and trousers from an emerging designer. Old soul, new spirit. Just like your friend group. The old souls and the new spirits. It makes it dynamic and interesting. We have so much to learn. Thats how I started, going to auctions and seeing furniture and lighting and art from all over the world. Its so important.Jesse Lee, who is chairman of the board at Design Miami, says design is the new fashion. Its true. Its everywhere: graphic design, landscape, architecture or interiors. Its how you look at things. Its not just spaces. Its being able to appreciate the assembly, the curation and storytelling.I love sharing anecdotes; I want to fuel the community with things I discover and share my knowledge. MasterClass was an unbelievable experience for me. Ive done guest editing for Vogue Living and Wallpaper. I had a column in InStyle and loved it. I love the curation of imagery and the themes and presentation. With my Substack, Wearstler World, I wanted to pull back the curtain on the connective tissue between design, fashion, travel, and wellness. I wanted to connect all of these different elements and show the relationships between all of these categories. Media is an important part of it.

  • OMA's CCTV Headquarters was the most significant building of 2012
    www.dezeen.com
    Continuing our 21st-Century Architecture: 25 Years 25 Buildings series, we take a look at OMA's CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, an iconic symbol of China's construction boom.OMA's skyscraper was among the first wave of high-profile buildings designed by Europe's top architects as China announced its presence as an economic and construction powerhouse.Nicknamed "big pants" by locals and billed as "the greatest work of architecture built in this century" by critics, the extremely distinctive skyscraper gained global attention as a symbol of Beijing.OMA's CCTV Headquarters was the most significant building of 2012The steel and glass building, which houses the headquarters and production facilities for state-owned China Central Television, has an unusual and experimental angular looped shape.Although it officially opened in 2012, its structure and facades were already completed ahead of the Summer Olympics in 2008, when the world's attention turned to the Chinese capital.It led a generation of impressive, often unusual buildings that came to define both China's emergence as a global power and the country's reputation as fertile ground for international architecture studios.A 75-metre bridge connects the top of the building's two towersFormed of two leaning towers that are joined on the upper floors by a 75-metre cantilevered bridge, the gravity-defying building breaks away from the typical skyscraper typology.The CCTV Headquarters was designed by OMA co-founder Rem Koolhaas and German architect Ole Scheeren, who was director of the studio's Beijing office at the time, along with partner David Gianotten and project manager Dongmei Yao.Read: Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall was the most significant building of 2003The skyscraper was met with criticism when its design was first revealed in 2003, with its overhanging bridge, engineered by Arup, raising concerns in the earthquake-prone city.Others were critical of a foreign architect designing the prestigious building. Tsinghua University architecture professor Wu Liangyong, who led a research team studying the buildings of Beijing's 2008 Summer Olympics remarked that "when foreign architects come to China acting like architectural masters, it is a direct result of the sad fact that Chinese people like to call foreigners gods," as reported by The New Yorker.The looped shape of the CCTV Headquarters was designed to encourage a sense of communityKoolhaas maintained that the building's conjoined shape was informed by the Chinese cultural tradition of collectivism, intending to reinforce a sense of community in the building rather than separate people into two separate skyscrapers.A 2009 fire in an adjacent building left the CCTV building needing restoration work, but when it finally opened in 2012, it did so to critical acclaim.It is one of the most beguiling and powerful works I've seen in a lifetime of looking at architecture Nicolai Ouroussof in the New York TimesArchitecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff praised it in the New York Times as "the greatest work of architecture built in this century"."At moments monumental and combative, at others strangely elusive, almost retiring, it is one of the most beguiling and powerful works I've seen in a lifetime of looking at architecture," Ouroussof said."Mr Koolhaas has created an eloquent architectural statement about China's headlong race into the future and, more generally, life in the developed world at the beginning of the 21st century," he continued. "It captures our era much as the great works of the early modernists did theirs."Its unusual form prompted the Chinese president to call for "no more weird architecture"However, the skyscraper's unusual form was not celebrated by all. In 2014, Chinese president Xi Jinping announced he wanted "no more weird architecture" in the country after the Chinese property boom led to a number of bombastic structures.Koolhaas's skyscraper came under fire by Jinping in a two-hour speech made at a literary symposium, along with a pair of bridges over the Yangtze and Jialing rivers in Chongqing that have been compared to female genitalia.His complaints also followed the completion ofa skyscraper shaped like a giant doughnut and Zaha Hadid's pebble-shaped Wangjing Soho complex.Read: SOM's Burj Khalifa was the most significant building of 2010Koolhaas hit back at Jinping's comments and defended his design."I don't have the slightest difficulty in saying, or showing, or demonstrating, that CCTV is a very serious building," Koolhaas told Dezeen at the time."[CCTV is] a building that introduces new ways of conceptualising, liberating and realising structure that did not exist in China before, and of which I'm sure Chinese culture and Chinese architecture will benefit," he added. "It articulates the position and the situation of China."The skyscraper was made from steel and glassA skyscraper akin to the unusual shape of the CCTV Headquarters is unlikely to be built again in China.In February 2016, just over a year after Jinping slated the CCTV Headquarters, China put an end to the trend of unusual architecture by issuing new planning guidance.The country's State Council released a document that forbade "oversized, xenocentric and weird" buildings, stating that all new buildings should be "suitable, economic, green and pleasing to the eye".Koolhaas designed the CCTV Headquarters as an alternative to traditional skyscrapersKoolhaas's design for the CCTV Headquarters featured on the front cover of his book, Content, which was published in 2003.In a chapter titled Kill the Skyscraper, Koolhaas outlined his discontent with skyscrapers at the time, which he argued had become cliched."The skyscraper has become less interesting in inverse proportion to its success," Koolhaas wrote in the chapter. "It has not been refined, but corrupted."I didn't think there was a lot of creative life left in skyscrapersRem KoolhaasAccording to the architect, his design for the CCTV Headquarters sought to offer an alternative to the traditional archetype and redefine the skyscraper.Ironically, after claiming he wanted to "kill the skyscraper", Koolhaas's CCTV Headquarters won the world's best skyscraper in 2013, beating the Shard in London by Renzo Piano.Koolhaas acknowledged this irony when accepting the award,which was given by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).In 2013, the building was named the world's best skyscraper"When I published my last book, Content, in 2003, one chapter was called 'Kill the Skyscraper'," said Koolhaas in a presentation about the project to CTBUH. "Basically, it was an expression of disappointment at the way the skyscraper typology was used and applied.""I didn't think there was a lot of creative life left in skyscrapers," he continued. "Therefore, I tried to launch a campaign against the skyscraper in its more uninspired form.""The fact that I am standing on this stage now, in this position, meant that my declaration of war went completely unnoted and that my campaign was completely unsuccessful."Although the building inevitably became surrounded by more skyscrapers built to greater heights, the CCTV Headquarters still demands attention to this day for its impressive form and rejection of the norm.Whether beloved or loathed, the building serves as a visual reminder of China's construction boom and its rise to economic global dominance in the last quarter-century.Did we get it right? Was the CCTV Headquarters by OMA the most significant building completed in 2012? Let us know in the comments. We will be running a poll once all 25 buildings are revealed to determine the most significant building of the 21st century so far.This article is part of Dezeen's 21st-Century Architecture: 25 Years 25 Buildings series, which looks at the most significant architecture of the 21st century so far. For the series, we have selected the most influential building from each of the first 25 years of the century.The illustration is by Jack Bedford and the photography is by Philippe Ruault.21st-Century Architecture: 25 Years 25 Buildings2000: Tate Modern by Herzog & de Meuron2001: Gando Primary School by Dibdo Francis Kr2002: Bergisel Ski Jump by Zaha Hadid2003: Walt Disney Concert Hall by Frank Gehry2004: Quinta Monroy by Elemental2005: Moriyama House by Ryue Nishizawa2006: Madrid-Barajas airport by RSHP and Estudio Lamela2007:Oslo Opera House by Snhetta2008:Museum of Islamic Art by I M Pei2009:Murray Grove by Waugh Thistleton Architects2010:Burj Khalifa by SOM2011: National September 11 Memorial by Handel Architects2012: CCTV Headquarters by OMAThis list will be updated as the series progresses.The post OMA's CCTV Headquarters was the most significant building of 2012 appeared first on Dezeen.
