I just learned about how the latest Elden Ring NightReign trailer is essentially a Bring Me to Life AMV I'm not one for generalizations but anyone who considers this anything less than a treasure needs to go on a pilgrimage to rediscover the spark of life they have clearly lost

there is a Delicious in Dungeon themed “learning English” book so of course i HAD to get it

big temmie vibes

Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers was all right, especially when I turned my brain off. Extremely different from the Strive story mode. But Hammer was the least-charismatic Guilty Gear villain of all time. Like Daisuke said "we have too many characters, make one nobody will want us to bring back"

that moment where you can't figure out if the weirdly-aggrieved person you encountered online is deeply problemed, roleplaying a character, or eleven years old

Imagine if "Beyond Canon" follows in the footsteps of all the other attempted "Homestuck" spinoffs and never comes back from its first major hiatus, and Vriska kidnapping everybody's children and fucking off to space is just where it ends.

It's one thing to hear about a study that finds that autistic brains generate more information while at-rest than neurotypical brains, but to read it's 42% *on average* is honestly pretty staggering. It really emphasizes how different our experience of rest is. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201...

Psycholonials realization/spoiler: . . . . The horse vs. clown theme is expressed through David Hasselhoof's murder, signaling that the clown shit has gone fully off the rails. There's no reality in that world any longer, which is of course why Z needs to leave and find somewhere with horses again.

Ok, so I can actually explain why this happens... ready?

"Being a lesbian into fighting games is tricky because it's very easy to get big normals and big naturals mixed up in conversation. But thankfully the women I like usually have both so it's not that big of a deal"

embarrassing problem; i can't cum unless I am either jacking off or having intercourse,

i’m a proponent of the Alive Internet theory, the idea that some portions of the internet still have actual humans participating in both creation and consumption

this & all the other "AI" stories like it are advertisements

So many fantasy artists drawing dragons with catlike physiology to communicate their predatory nature, and not one with the courage to carry it to its logical conclusion and give their dragons toe beans.

Krirki, the ship mechanic

guy who doesn't know the difference between Zelda and Final Fantasy:

My takeaway from years of getting high and watching anime is that many of future wars will be fought by giant mechs, piloted by twinks with daddy issues. The time to establish a national strategic twink reserve is now.

I like when 80s artists had to basically guess what characters were suppose to look like. Here's Sumi Arisaka's depiction of Samus that predates her official designs. From: Metroid: Zebes Invasion Order (メトロイド ゼーベス侵入指令 (Part of the Famicom Game Book Series.)

(receiving new information) sorry, but if any of that were true I would have heard of it

It's worth noting, if you're someone who really values explanations and thus has a tendency to explain yourself whenever there's a misunderstanding, that under some circumstances that will come across as an excuse. Sometimes "acknowledge and explain" should instead be "acknowledge and wait."

Guess we gotta keep up the sentiment that GenAI sucks so that more companies start to feel it.

In my experience using LLM tools (it's "encouraged" where I work), what stands out to me the most about it is that it never says "I don't know". It ALWAYS has an answer for everything, and just like humans that act like that, what it says is never trustworthy .

Is this a dagger which I see before me [Press R1 for LIGHT ATTACK], The handle toward my hand [Press R2 for HEAVY ATTACK]? Come, let me clutch thee [Hold R2 for CHARGE ATTACK]. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still [Press L1 + R2 for PHANTOM ATTACK (expends Ghost Power)].

So our little guy is (mostly) non-verbal autistic and *very* picky about food. Yesterday, he tried raw kale for the first time and was gulping it down while giggling with joy. I'm worried now he has undiagnosed yuppieness.

One of my favorite advertising tropes from the early-mid 60's, was the insistent shoehorning of the Beatles and rock n roll music into ads by people who clearly had never actually seen or heard of the Beatles or rock n roll music (Family Fare in Holland, Michigan 1964)

proud of myself for not taking my dad's bait and thus not getting into a horriffically-loaded political discussion in the middle of a family event I'm not sure if he can't imagine someone disagreeing with him or if he really is so attention-hungry he'd try to sabotage a family event

only one man can properly portray the "bewildered but doing it anyway" attitude of the Tarnished
