women can do anything

The Venerable Sariputta one day asked the Buddha, "I have seen a bad post. I think I shall quote tweet it with my added commentary." The Buddha chuckled. "You may do so. You may make your own home as unclean as that of the pig sty. But do not complain when the pigs sleep in your bed."

On Mass Effect, our love scenes -- soft-lit gentle scenes players got after getting to know their love interest for two-thirds of the game -- got called "virtual orgasmic rape" by Fox News. Nothing is respectable enough. They aren't attacking porn. They're attacking intimacy and openness.

You're Not Collecting Any Stars Dressed Like That Young Man

I don't think people understand how crazy it is that you can actually put like, a ton games onto this tiny device and then just eat it. I could eat 2 Ark : Survival Evolved. I could eat 40 Team Fortress 2's. I could eat 667 Risk of Rain 2's. I could eat 4000+ Undertales. Technology is a marvel.

not everyone is lucky enough to have a single image that sums up their entire approach to ethics but I'm glad bill watterson gave me one

The desexualisation of media (everyone is beautiful, and no one is horny) combined with an increasing hysteria around the 'pointlessness' of sex scenes is a key part of the fascistization of western culture and if we're going to fight back we're going to need to make it normal to be horny again.

Mario's Hidden Second Health Bar That's Been Steadily Decreasing This Entire Time

most places burying the lead but BACK ON PBS running day and date!!!

"This is hilarious, so I'll allow it" is the best thing a DM can say. The biggest green flag imaginable.

as somebody who takes great effort to make stylized games, i always feel a bit insulted that hardware accelerated genai thinks it knows enough about my image to recreate it. bitch no you don't, you've never seen anything like what i make before

I just had an epiphany - AI upscaling is the antithesis of glitch art. It's the assumption that what you're about to see should of course flow smoothly and predictably from what you've seen before

may 19th, 2025: In the United States, a tornado watch is distinct from a tornado warning. A tornado watch indicates that all the conditions are in place for a tornado to form, making the condition worth monitoring even if a tornado itself has not been spotted. (1/2)

Snifit Posting? #SuperMario2 #Snifit #SpriteEditing

TIL that after the shooting death of CEO Brian Thompson UnitedHealthcare approved many life-saving medical procedures it has been holding out on because of sudden internal panic and public scrutiny. So, Luigi (innocent until proven guilty) probably saved more lives than he took.

Happy 20th to the single greatest frame in movie history

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Played a bunch of it this evening and definitely worth checking out if you're big on two things: - Descent - a robot lady voice saying "ammo" when you pick up ammo

Your Car's Extended Warranty

If the guy's bio opens with "Husband. Father." Or some variant thereof the latter you know he's going say some the vilest shit imaginable.

Wow can you believe it, can you believe people would just go online and lie? Tell half-truths to manipulate situations to farm clout and push a narrative? Wouldn't that be wild? Well I'm glad that *never* happens and we should all just take everything we see at face value and never investigate it

5 Silver Stars vs. 8 Red Coins

I know most of you who follow me are aware of BDS, but I also know a few of you who have bought Doom or are on Game Pass etc and I’d really like you to consider stopping giving MS your money as much as possible. BDS is provoking a response. It matters.

we used to be a country. a proper country.

a lot of cooks weren't even aware of this stove's other feature

Not to mention *we have digital distribution now*, so the overall cut of a game's sale that goes towards the developer/publisher has also increased. When digital distribution first started, for a very brief time the argument was that games would be cheaper. That never happened!

Tip: Do NOT close your fist around a scalpel

Is this A Gacha machine of different Gacha cranks

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

with our latest free update The COOP we added a speedy-go-fast relic 🐔 Roast Chicken with a Clock in the Middle lets you speed up gameplay (in most situations) so now you can complete runs in under 8 minutes IF you also use Hurry mode 💨
