He actually has a calmer one, but it’s not always around. It comes and goes.
- Comment on Hollow Knight Silksong (mod recommendations) 3 days ago:
Is it really that bad? I don’t really play metroidvanias, but thought I’d give it a try and have really being enjoying it. You have to go in with the expectation that a lot of fights might take 5-10 tries to learn all the mechanics and build muscle memory. It’s a hard game, but also very rewarding when you progress precisely because it doesn’t spoon-feed you victories.
Also, IIRC, they’ve already released a few patches to tone down the difficulty in some of the tougher spots.
- Comment on F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree 1 week ago:
The future of this elegant and proven system was put in jeopardy last month, when Google unilaterally decreed that Android developers everywhere in the world are going to be required to register centrally with Google. […] If it were to be put into effect, the developer registration decree will end the F-Droid project and other free/open-source app distribution sources as we know them today, and the world will be deprived of the safety and security of the catalog of thousands of apps that can be trusted and verified by any and all.

The factory gatcha pull info says there’s a 0.002% chance of pulling “Short Day Factory”, and the pity system has been globally disabled for over 10 years now.
Better luck next pull!

Pack it up boys. Just one comment, and the threads already over.

You’re welcome!
Yes, I think that’s pretty accurate. That’s why usually if a vtuber graduates (leaves their corporation, that is) even though they’ll have a new avatar, (usually the IP is owned the corp) they’ll often still keep most of their fans.

A few of those even have actual real live victims, unlike video game porn.

Just getting around to trying it now. Will update with further info.
Very first impressions:
Yep, its sexo pokemon snap! If you’re into furry or pokephilia, and enjoy photography, this’ll probably be a fun time. It seems like it is more anthro focused though, not that I’d be a good judge of any of this or anything. >_>;
Right off the bat, the walking animation is very janky, but otherwise it seems surprisingly polished. The tutorial is a bit info dumpy, but it’s not that overwhelming.
Just starting actual gameplay now.
- Comment on How are you really doing? 2 months ago:
Sure, I could try! It’s still a bit confusing since it was mostly just entertainment for me until very recently.
It’s a combination tbh. Obviously a lot of it is acting, and you never know exactly how genuine your oshi really really is, but their personality, tastes, and sense of humour all shine through. It’d be generally pretty tough for it to be a complete facade and for them to still seem genuine.
Then again, you never know. I’ve heard there were some VTs who did a complete 180 in personality, for example. I think it’d be hard to not notice some signs, but strong feelings can severely cloud judgement, so who knows.
The character’s design and mannerisms are also pretty important, though. I think a lot of the time the VTs will want to play a character that’s kinda an idealised version of themselves. If they see themselves as cute or cool or sexy, they’ll play up those attributes.
As for knowing stuff about them, I think it also varies from VT to VT. Some are more willing to share aspects of their personal life than others. The one I fell for is quite open about her life, but I’m someone who highly values honesty and integrity, so I guess that tracks.

That’s a secret. I’d rather not publicly out my degeneracy level, dayo ne.
- Comment on How are you really doing? 2 months ago:
Weird. I caught feels for a vtuber recently (completely unexpectedly) and now feel suddenly motivated to improve my life. It also feela like I got hit by truck with emotions that have been nonfunctional for several years.
Parasocial relationships are tough, as they can never be fully reciprocated, and dealing with that feels like it’s going to be a bit stressful. That’s also precisely why I’d avoided them and thought myself immune, but apparently not. Lol

Is Sapphire Safari… a furry porn version of pokemon snap??? I’m going to try it for shits and giggles because I adore pokemon snap. Wish me luck.

I would be greatly entertained if valve went into payment processing and out-competed these absolute shitshows of companies.

Suddenly
As if this hasn’t been going on for decades.
My solution is to do the very minimum I can to get by and otherwise enjoy my minimalist life. Fuck consumerism with a 10ft pole. Let it rot.

Details shmetails. A teat is a teat. Would you prefer “mammary milk” to be technically correct?
Fun trivia: Did you know, the only other animals to have 2 thoracic and no other teats, besides anthropoids, are elephants and anteaters?
- Comment on Please tell me 2 months ago:
Stealing breast milk from another species is pretty damn weird, so probably that.

I personally prefer the humped-back interpretation from the mid-90s:

I can’t quite tell if it was fully omitted, or if it was intended as part of one of the listed theories.

- Comment on AI is eating up Pennsylvania's power, governor threatens to pull state from the grid — new plants aren't being built fast enough to keep up with demand 2 months ago:
AI has been a well established field of computer science for over 50 years. While LLMs are certainly a part of that field, it’s technically incorrect to conflate the two.
Just using “LLM” is also a bit over-specific, however, as it’d exclude text-to-image models, and others. “GenAI” is probably the most correct term to use to refer to the transformer-based deep neural networks that have become popular in the last several years.
That said, language prescriptivism is rarely effective. So while I agree it’s incorrect to call LLMs “AI”, good luck getting laypeople to use the correct technical language from a field they mostly have very limited knowledge of.

They’ve strayed so far from the teachings of their own god, I’m fairly certain that’s the biblically prescribed punishment.

I think every time I switch freezers, I have to learn the lesson again. Maybe the vision of the particular freezer I’m using splattered in gooey cola tar is enough reminder, but with a different freezer, the trauma is no longer with it.

One can of pop exploding in there was enough to traumatize me into never forgetting again.
