Random thought this morning: the concept of the chokey is wild, but what's even wilder is that all the parents thought the kids were just bullshitting. Imagine you're on the way to pick up your kid and you see another kid getting the Jet 2 holiday experience. Only one option left after that...

I still think that KH3's reception back when it launched was affected partly because of this.

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

When developers get the lion's share of a video game's profits and not executives and shareholders, then we can talk about raising the price of games.

But miss me with this $100 shit when we have leeches like Phil Spencer and Andrew Wilson constantly laying off devs for a quarterly boost.

also any person who goes "oh no kids can't have their unnecessary luxury items!" is a human manifestation of rot

real talk "kids have been priced out of toys" is a really fucked up sentence that I think speaks to a sickness deep in our society, this should not be a thing that happens

He became a legend without it. Wouldn't really make sense for him to need it now.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Yes, your brain is internet poisoned... It's almost as if there's a Table of Contents for stuff like this! And the synopsis on the back of the book!

As always: the primary goal of disinformation isn't to make you believe the fake thing.

It's to make you believe that everything is fake, so you shouldn't even bother attempting to discern truth.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · Oct 1

Fabricating “evidence” of crimes is one use. You know the reactions to political violence? Soon false accusations will have video that appeals real to anyone not looking closely. And maybe to them too.

But another problem is people dismissing real evidence because they think anything could be fake.

Drew Harwell @drewharwell.com · Sep 30

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

The moment you let go of the notion of being "cringe" is the moment you find true freedom, because who are we even wanting validation from anyway? Being "cool" is just someone authentically being themselves fully and others admiring it to the point of wanting to emulate it. Life's too short to care.

🌈 Hailey Piper 🌈 @haileypiperfights.bsky.social · Sep 25

I think some people are also scared to explore outside mainstream art because they might encounter something they fall in love with, but no one they know likes it. They don't want to be embarrassed or cringe or whatever by being the outsider.

AK Faulkner is haunting you @ World Fantasy Con @poopraven.bsky.social · Sep 25

Oh nooooooessss, you might read / play / hear / watch something you didn't fall in love with?

That's actually okay.

Pattlez @islanderdestiny.bsky.social · Sep 21

The idea that not being on social media often is "weird". So much is being pushed in our faces, and most of it isn't positive. Now, it's good to be informed about the world, but it's also good to set healthy boundaries too. People will be chronically online and wonder why their moods suffer for it.

Black Americans will always find joy even when the world around us is burning.

And where joy can’t be found, we create it.

That’s one thing they keep trying to take from us and it pisses them off that they can’t.

Lost Soul Aside is pretty undercooked, but I'm honestly enjoying the experience. I think I'm also willing to see the good parts of it because I'm also aware of the history and have looked forward to it from day one.

I think with some consistent updates, it'll really shine in due time.

Pattlez @islanderdestiny.bsky.social · Aug 25

I honestly saw this coming. Whether or not this actually starts happening, I'm skeptical. Consumers don't like AI AT ALL (for legitimate reasons). But when I started hearing about games getting more expensive to make and development times are getting even longer, I knew what was gonna come next.

GamesIndustry.biz @gibiz.bsky.social · Aug 22

At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

At Gamescom, it felt like the industry now has a plan: make games quicker | Opinion

And at least part of that plan involves AI

No Sleep For Kaname Date continues the trend of Date being extremely unhinged, and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

Persona 5 X is fun, really enjoying the game. The first dungeon is kinda weak narrative-wise, but I hear the next palaces are really good, so I'm excited to check those out in the future. 🌞

I’m a Democrat.

Haven’t always been proud to say it. I’ve left the party multiple times & am constantly dismayed by the higher ups

But after the targeting killing of a Dem who voted for choice, voted for gun reform, voted for progressive ideals across the board, I’m DONE with “both sides” bullshit

If you don't like drinking water, I don't know what to tell you man, water is amazing. When it's the right amount of cold, it feels like your whole body is thanking you. Go hydrate.

Fight and you may die

Run, and you’ll live… at least a while

And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you trade all of the days, from this day to that

To come back here and tell these fascists

That they may take our lives

But they will never take our freedom

You can tell it's early in development, but that's okay. I don't care what anyone thinks, I'm looking forward to it! I wanna see how everything looks when they're ready to show more.
