Has someone documented all the issues related to the Dirty Pair kickstarter? I'm talking about the physical items sent out.

Man Embraces AI at Work, Gets Rewarded by Boss Replacing Him With It futurism.com/artificial-i...

~ Reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where the boss was okay replacing everyone with automation, until he himself was replaced by automation.

Man Embraces AI at Work, Gets Rewarded by Boss Replacing Him With It

The 17 year veteran of the company, ironically, had actually grown to really like using AI tools to help his job.

How does anyone not know what potato chips are made of? It's in the name and the ingredients are printed on the bag. It's not a complicated list: potatoes, oil and salt. It literally says that.

Shows that people can't be bothered to read. Also shows I probably eat more of these chips than I should.

Lay's drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn't know their chips were made out of potatoes | Fortune

New bags—matte-ified and designed to look like wood planks (like a potato crate)—will hold the chips with revamped ingredient lists.

Has anyone reported any issues with the artbook from the Dirty Pair kickstarter?

I didn't see anything wrong when I flipped through it but I didn't look too closely.

justaddscott @justaddscott.bsky.social · 1d

I see. Did they get anything right with this kickstarter?

Was there anything wrong with the content on the OVA set?

justaddscott @justaddscott.bsky.social · 1d

So I got the rest of my Dirty Pair stuff.

I feel the cover of the OVA looks kinda terrible. I mean the artwork is nice but the quality isn't that great.

Features cover looks alright. No complaints with that. But, as many people know, the labels on two discs are swapped. (I don't remember which).

No, I don't want to use AI to search online. I can do it for myself just fine. I've been doing it for decades all on my own. I know that might surprise you.

Also, using AI would take the fun out of searching online. I've sometimes found new and interesting things that I wasn't expecting.

If I was an author, I'm not sure I would want to deal with this company. They say one thing then go back on their word. I wouldn't trust them.

This is my view of that is happening in regards to the bannings going on and the targeted accounts. It appears to be a brigade that is organizing off site to sow discord and get people to leave the site.

Groups are taking advantage of this to drive people and communities apart.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 5d

Well it could be connected to the mess going on in that trolls are taking advantage of the moment to do brigades to sow more discord.

Hmm... Never heard of those. I will take a look at them.

I thought that the only option was Mastodon. And don't really want to jump into that rabbit hole.

I'm perhaps being a bit too cynical but I've learned that most say they are going to do something and never follow through.

What other options are there anyways?

Social media leadership and mods always shit the bed and life carries on. Few leave and everyone moves on continuing as before.

I think it's crazy that in a few months I will be entering my late 40s.

This post had more but I read what I wrote and it was depressing so I will spare everyone by deleting it.

You know why I dislike rogue, rogue-like games is because I rarely feel like I'm accomplishing anything. I gotta feel like I'm progressing in a game.

justaddscott @justaddscott.bsky.social · 7d

Steam did a smart thing by showing discount percentage so prominently. It's very hard to pass up a game that's 80%+ off, even 50% is tempting.

justaddscott @justaddscott.bsky.social · 7d

Crazy how Microsoft wants to release a $1000 handheld game system. Are they crazy? Most people are not paying that.

My impression is that handhelds are designed to be a way for people to tip their toes into gaming PC without paying gaming PC prices. Not sure Microsoft is getting this.

justaddscott @justaddscott.bsky.social · 8d

Well, that was weird. I decided to rip each episode individually one by one and it worked. So I got all the episodes off the disc. Wonder why it didn't work earlier?

justaddscott @justaddscott.bsky.social · 8d

Why does ripping Blu-ray have to be a pain in the ass?

justaddscott @justaddscott.bsky.social · 8d

That's just garbage. I ripped almost all of my twilight zone bluray and the last disc, with the last 7 episodes (total 156), won't rip. What the fuck!
