Elezen players:

if you're too young to remember skype, it was like discord, everybody used it and then microsoft bought it and ruined everything about it almost immediately and then everyone stopped using it bsky.app/profile/popb...

Internet activism is so funny. Yeah man doing something most people will already be doing on a work day and requires almost no personal sacrifice is really gonna show them we mean business, guys

F.E.A.R. Platinum is $0.99 on GOG https://buff.ly/486DbSR #ad will be added to GOG Preservation Program by next month ("Originally scheduled for a later timeframe, we’ve decided to accelerate this release to properly recognize Monolith’s contributions to gaming.")

REMINDER FOR FFXIV PLAYERS! There's a Wandering Moogle in Old Gridania that will give you a free Fantasia if you haven't picked it up already! It WILL go away next month when 7.2 releases! Go now!

i downloaded vegas for this

At some point you gotta forget what a YouTuber from the early 2010s said about a video game and just try the game out for yourself and see what you think.

genuinely frustrating how 'a machine that can recognize patterns really, really, really well' is not being used for any of the things it might actually be good at and is instead burning more money than any other technology in human history to try and crowbar it into The Employee Mulcher

My reaction nowadays when I'm checking if a cool smaller videogame title gets a physical release.

After breaking a table, this badger was given the chance to avoid paying for a replacement if he could beat the establishment's owner in a drinking contest. Little did he know that she's no lightweight. For AeresChronicles's upcoming #ttrpg module, Nightfall at Thorn Hollow.

A James Bond TV show for a streaming service in 2025 is gonna be insufferable. Just 10 episodes of a guy that doesn't call himself either James Bond or 007 yet and then in the final episode, he orders a martini, shaken not stirred, and we all politely clap and Season 2 takes 5 years to come out

This is probably a general aviation incident which are common (and increasingly so). News reporting on them without distinguishing it from commercial flights (the ones you take) is essentially clickbait.

We're at the "NFTs will let you bring your favorite gun into Animal Crossing" stage with this shit, I see

"Samus's encounters with several parasitic alien organisms has left us to wonder just how much is left of the human. We can only hope the Samus entity remains on our side." #metroid

the ai cycle: this will do things on it's own this will do things with human supervision well if we have a human go over everything it does we'll save some money turns out it actually can't do anything

they could have had Arkane Austin make a single player RPG now that those are blowing up again but nah let’s have Microsoft Sam create a hallucination of Kameo

Something I drew I few days ago 😅 I keep forgetting this site exists, I can't help it aaaa

I am seeing reports of this and I have yet to test it myself - but I think it is completely unacceptable to software lock the future Nvidia cards to having worse backwards compatibility. Completely unacceptable. I see no good reason for this at all. And even if there were one, I do not care.

"yotsuyu is my favourite character in final fantasy xiv" i say, before posting The Extremely Normal Fanart I Make Of Her. "i just think she's neat." #ffxiv #ffxivart #art

Seems like with every passing day I learn something new to hate about Jim Ryan. venturebeat.com/business/shu...

Something to remember: ppl who don't draw are often inexperienced in observing and commenting on art. They try to connect w/ it on familiar grounds, which means relating it to something they know and understand. Often, people relating your work to other things is them trying to relate to it in turn.

People are right to hate on generative AI, but there's a subset of people who never applied any critical thinking to why they should hate it. Their knowledge of the topic never evolved past "AI bad", so you get people saying luddite shit like "uh... this game uses algorithms? you lost my business!"

Happy tenth birthday to a real one

Incredible updates from Hulu

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

"People getting irrationally terrified of any automation cause of genAI" is the new version of "every 3 months an artist discovers the ToS legalese for 'we can crop your image to display it on various devices'"

Hey, this is standard (non genAI) moderation tools. These are the only way to systematically address moderation at scale without 1) requiring some sort of payment or 2) allowing individual mods free reign to shape discussion like on reddit

Putting this here for my fellow Android users.

Having rewatched it tonight, I'd like to take the opportunity to say that The Prince Of Egypt continues to be a masterpiece of a film.

In case you wondered if we were still on strike after six months, and ESPECIALLY if you didn’t know we were on strike at all. After six months.
