  Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life Is Strange⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s unnecessarily condescending

  Fair feedback. I can be bad about my tone sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life Is Strange⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll check it out.

  While technically a horror game, ‘Among The Sleep’ is a good one if you’re into more emotional stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life Is Strange⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The link is to the square enix LiS page, but yes, talking about the first one. It blew my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life Is Strange⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, basically CYOA books in digital form. They’re great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life Is Strange⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Your homework for today is to see a post from someone talking about something like and resist the urge to immediately shit on it. :)

  You not liking something doesn’t make it bad. Some things just are not for you, and that’s okay.

  Cheers.

  Oh yes, both.

  I love Star Wars animated series in particular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you want to be Michael Jackson-level famous? Why or why not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you really have nothing better to do than post pedantic, asshole replies like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you want to be Michael Jackson-level famous? Why or why not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As MJ?

  No. There are too many aspects of that level of fame that are not only undesirable, but dangerous, and we saw that with how his life went.

  I wouldn’t mind being a one-hit wonder though. A couple of years of making millions and just stashing them away. I’d pull a Kerri Green and peace out at the height, take the money, and live off investment interest for the rest of my life.

  It’s a shame MJ didn’t do that. Even after having to pay all the court settlements for broken contracts, he’d still have been alive and wealthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to upgrade every two years. In the last decade though, it’s been 3-4 years, because hardware can keep up with new games and tech as they come.

  I am glad I bought two PC’s in late 2024, though, before billionaires decided they were going to force people to rent PC’s for life. I should be set for a while, maybe even as long as we end up waiting for a crash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you pronounce 'Niche'?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nitch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dunno where else to post a gripe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like that would fit really well in the Fuck AI community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one may dream...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on how you define ‘progressive’, because after the last 34 years of US politics, I don’t even think a citation is needed.

  Every Democrat considers themselves progressive, and every president self-identified ‘progressives’ have elected has been more regressive than the last. It was Clinton with DADT, rebranding US warmaking as ‘peacekeeping actions’, or supercharging the gutting of the poor and middle class with his free trade agreements. Then there was Obama, who definitely marketed himself as a progressive, but turned out to be a black Dubya and gassed up fascism and regressive war on terror policies, on top of militarizing police, letting the rich skate after they robbed the globe of trillions, and even made health care significantly more expensive. Then there was Genocide Joe, who enthusiastically funded and armed a genocide and engineered famine, allowed ‘cop cities’ into existence, and saw the cost of living explode and did nothing meaningful to stop it.

  And they also supported Hillary Clinton, even as the Dems rigged primaries for her and made the Donald Trump presidency possible.

  I think it’s eminently fair to say boomer women did their part in making the current fascist hellscape possible.

  Those same moms voted for the corrupt motherfuckers who dismantled everything they protested for in their youth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony PS5 sales drop 46%, even before recent price increase⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously is. You can have whole console collections of Roms and they only take up a speck of your external hard drive. Glorious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2, blaming 'market conditions'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is relevant.

  I was looking at the exclusive titles for Switch 2… and it’s beyond me to understand why I need another Mario Kart or Smash Bros.

  I am somewhat less than enthused about American law enforcement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there seach engines that dont depend Google and Bing, if not what are the barriers to entry of new search engines?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The usual examples are Kagi, Brave, or Qwant.

  I made a video about a few others this week: UDM-14, Mojeek, and Marginalia. (Though Marginalia focuses on non-commercial content and is a little different.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pragmata surpasses 1m copies sold in just two days⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironic that you say that.

  I play Bioshock every 3-5 years and finished my latest playthrough today. It has a puzzle mini-game you play often in order to hack into things and lots and lots of shooting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird that I’m a tattoo artist but I still get nervous before my own sessions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all.

  I’m a professional painter and sketch artist who’s done everything from books, to commissioned paintings. to sketch sittings with pro athletes.

  I’m nervous at the start of every project. The key is resisting the urge to burn them when they’re not immediately perfect after one session.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed. Everyone loves a pedant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think OP knows they can unscrew it.

  That’s probably why it’s only ‘mildly’ infuriating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So sick of seeing confidently incorrect people opining, using historical examples, when they have never before cracked open a history book and have no idea of the context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UN Voted to Make Food A Human Right, Only Two Countries Voted No: Israel and USA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s nothing mild about the fury this inspires in me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  AI Slop.

  Just, no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just one more turn, bro.

  Then you’ll totally go to bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the endgame?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We just watch.

  I don’t think that’s accurate, and it became especially true in Chicago and Minnesota when the sensationalist nature of the events there forced the MSM to report on it. The issue here is that most people only have power at the local level, so unless you’re going full Luigi, the contributions you or I are making are local and not really notable. But they’re happening regardless.

  please help me understand where my taxes go (without representation)

  If you’re an American, mostly, your taxes are going to three things: The military and war, Social Security, and Medicare. Those are the big three things. The corruption you’re seeing is the result of entrenched legislators and political parties leveraging their offices to enrich themselves and the billionaire class, and their greed has no limit, therefore the people keep suffering more and more and it’s by design. There’s also no way to change it, because those in power are not going to vote themselves into less power. Your only power to make lasting change is local.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GenAI has already trained on the entirety of human content, and it still screws up basic inquiries. I think it will get worse as it cannibalizes its own hallucinated data and the problem of hallucinations gets worse as a result.

  The US will not regulate, but regulations originating from international jurisdictions will roll downhill to some extent and for the bad actors in the US to establish some guard rails.

  I think the most significant change in GenAI will be social. People’s poverty and isolation is only getting worse, and it’s likely there will be an economic crash due to the concentration of wealth in this sector and its failure to deliver on its promises; However, there is genuine demand for frictionless relationships and that is one thing generative AI does very, very well. In a decade these models will have artificial bodies and people will be literally publicly dating their AI companions.
