- Comment on AHEKOT/ComfyUI_VNCCS: Visual Novel Character Creation Suite is a comprehensive tool for creating character sprites for visual novels 2 weeks ago:
Very cool. Difficult to pull off with SDXL, but looks like they did it!
I’m thinking Kontext or Nano banana would be a more ideal workflow for this.
I know I’ll be looking into a similar workflow in the future
- Comment on US Bureau of Prisons moves to end union protections for its workers - 35,000 employees stripped of union rights 2 weeks ago:
Unions aren’t where workers get their power from, they get their power by providing labor, and threatening to withhold that labor. If 35,000 workers suddenly didn’t show up to work, or showed up and didn’t do anything, the entire system would collapse immediately.
The union is simply a convenience for negotiation.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 2 weeks ago:
Right, quality is not something that is easy to figure out algorithmically. But adding arbitrary rules like “content length” or “time on page” directly ruins quality by incentivizing content manipulation.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 2 weeks ago:
When search engine optimization becomes a target, content suffers. If Google changed their algorithm to only rank websites with high quality content instead of keyword-stuffed content, we’d see a great improvement in the quality of the internet.
- Comment on PuffPals: Island Skies, a cosy game that earned $2.5 million on Kickstarter, has been slammed with refund requests after its website and online store disappeared 2 weeks ago:
People greatly underestimate the chances of success of a video game, even with $2.5 million. It’s even easy to fail entirely for reasons unrelated to developing a game, such as corporate governance.
It’s not totally comparable, because we did a physical game, the Kickstarter I created ended up succeeding and shipping (over a year late!), we lost virtually all profits to early company investors and surprise tariffs. It was basically a wash financially.
- Comment on Autism has been announced! 3 weeks ago:
Don’t hold your breath, it’s by the same devs as Kerbal Space Program 2.

Telegraph lines are longer therefore have a larger effect during a solar flare.
But yeah, at a certain level, a solar flare would fry everything.

Nuclear winter because I can wear the bones of my enemies
- Comment on tall tails 4 weeks ago:
Sure but also there are some fossils that DO have skin, and some even have preserved organs. And some have feathers, which is a pretty good indicator that there wasn’t some large feature we’re missing.
No doubt we are wrong on lots of counts, but I think we have good evidence for a lot of it as well.
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 4 weeks ago:
This is my favorite type of democracy. Why even have representatives in a digital-first world?
- Comment on Civilization VII team at Firaxis Games faces layoffs 5 weeks ago:
Surely that’s normal for a game project? You need fewer people to maintain and make expansion content than you do to create the game.
Not saying it’s ethical but it sounds like that’s the expected timing.
- Comment on Good news. :) 5 weeks ago:
Oh no doubt. Any kind of secession would be resolved with a civil war, and the final borders might not be recognizable.

When the US falls apart I strongly suspect the nation of Cascadia to form from these states

- Comment on Everytime i come across a 3d printing post 1 month ago:
Any 3D printed gun is carbon negative if used to take out virtually any human. People do not live sustainable lives.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 month ago:
Per-passenger is a stupid way to charge this tax because the service provided is per-plane.
The math in this video checks out, even when spreading the costs over all the passengers of a larger plane.
- Comment on They will remember 1 month ago:
Yeah but then the joke doesn’t work.
- Comment on They will remember 1 month ago:
It’s really insensitive to use a blue screen when apologizing for robophobic stereotypes.
- Comment on Some game developers are far too shameless about generative AI use 1 month ago:
Eh, this is one of the mildly entertaining uses of AI. I really don’t feel strongly about a game I’ll likely never try.
People using AI to systematically gaslight the population for personal gain are the ones causing real problems.

Not sure how you can see the texture of anything under all that jpeg deep frying.

Surely this isn’t taking into consideration insect populations, right? I’m pretty damn sure I’ll be reincarnated as an ant.

Or something like Gnu Taler, which has many of the advantages of crypto with few of the problems.
