with the steam sale I'm reminded that in order to be excited, there has to actually be games you want

I love this platform for the artists and discourse. I dislike this platform for the rest of the culture it’s curated. Block culture, hustle culture, hyperradical ‘activism’, outrage/cancel first, people on the same side attacking each other of semantics. Social maturity often feels coat-checked.

Interview/Date Question: Have you seen Happy Gilmore? What's your Hockey and what's your Golf?

My body continues to betray me

It’s hard to escape the dawning realization that part of the goal of Google’s AI Overview is to simply eradicate the concept of anyone else having any kind of website at all. Why click on a link & explore when Google told you the answer & you didn’t know it was wrong?

*rapid sign tapping*

Stating your name and position as an elected official is enough to have you police stated now.

Dune Awakening is just another shitty Funcom title in a long list of shitty Funcom titles and I'm tired of pretending people are hyped for any other reason that the IP. </rant>

The joke is that it should seem outrageous, but that it also could be real. That's the point. Satire doesn't always require being light-hearted or comfortable. Thank you Timmy and team for the eye-opening peek at what could be.

5 years ago today, during George Floyd protests, some folks in Seattle who wanted to peacefully protest established the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest aka Autonomous Zone. It was seen as violent riot by national media and as a community block party by the locals. 24/7 livestreams showed the truth

Talkin to a gentleman at the local music store: "For some reason our area hates them" If I was still in the Nashville area I could have a choice between 300 used Teles daily probs

My area has a lack of Telecasters

I think my ability to handle nonsense has hit an all-time low. FFS, Ffs, ffs.

I don't always post, and if I do, it's probably because I realized I haven't posted.

The spam here has gotten wild. It's organic spam sure, but just because a human is actually posting it doesn't mean it's any less spam. I guess it's old man yells at clouds, but I just don't want my social outlets to all turn into hustle culture dumps.

One false nation, under king, highly divided, with justice for only the chosen

No regulation on AI for a decade. The AI companies really did just get a free pass to rape, steal, pillage, and further manipulate both the economy and the social structure. "Automated decision systems" includes claim-denying healthcare bots. I don't want to be political, but how can I not?

I think democracy died in the night

Finished request from tumblr!

Artsts nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html For now, if you want to shade your own art, you should Nightshade it first, then Glaze it for protection. Note that the level of visible artifacts might be higher as a result.

ffs @discord.com get your shit together

Seeing people dismiss the Discord DomoAI thing because they read text that made it *sound* like it's opt in is so infuriating. Don't just trust what the corporation claims! You can literally go into Discord, hover over *someone else's* image post, and see all the AI options pop up! Anyone can do it!

According to the brilliant folks on the internet, charging for early access in an alpha to a feature that is confirmed to be available to earn in-game in a later update is heinous, cancel-able pay-to-win.

Bean counters have decided I’m worthy of living for now

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Thread 🧵

Everyone's playing Dune Awakening beta and I'm just sitting here wondering when the Accessibility features are finally gonna arrive

I have officially removed all my tracks/samples off of SoundCloud and deleted my account.

Been thinking a lot about environmental storytelling lately

I need a direct answer from the new pope on his LGBTQ+ views. Let's get right out in front of it if possible, none of this "centrist will of the people I want peace" rhetoric.

Insurance denied a prescription that is the last effective method after 2 years of step therapy. The med is $2400/wk. Proverbial🙏 for my long-term well being is acceptable. Hopefully the appeal process plays nicely. Oh and the appeal can't be expedited because I haven't been died yet. Cool loophole.

Anime is now a ‘national security threat,’ according to Trump. The U.S. president wants a 100% tariff on all films “produced in foreign lands” but no one in Hollywood knows what he means.

Been leaning n rockin with this messy ink wash style lately. Might fuck around and make it the style for these characters

Ooh look at all those predatory purchasing platforms ready to take cuts instead of Apple using systems they totally made today and hadn't been plotting to release for months while lobbying against Apple's ecosystem. Who woulda thunk Epic would be one?! /s
