Probably not what you meant by gamer games, but we all know these are the exact types of games these two freaks play.

OKAY. Here is how to actually turn off Gemini AI for your google workspace!

1) contact google support from admin panel and keep asking for a supervisor/to speak to a person.
2) ask them to enable settings in "Gemini for google workspace"
3) turn it off.

I just did this and it worked.

AVARICE IS MY DARLING'S VICE is a comic about Charlie, an npc teen, who catches the attention of Thierry, his school's prince. This is bad news for Charlie, who has something to hide, and it turns out he's more connected to Thierry than he thought... (read right to left!)
#aimdv #mydarlingsvice #oc

Cover art of the OG Avarice Is My Darling's Vice chapter 1 zine that I did... shoutout to everyone who bought it.

Sample pages of AIMDV chapter 1. Please read from right to left.
Charlie has just come out of his school's boys washroom and he's smiling for once. He's thinking about how he's sooooooooooooooo honest and hard-working. Thierry sees him.
Thierry: Charlie! Wow, you seem cheerful! Did you get some good news?
Charlie is no longer smiling. Uhhh... what? He turns away quickly.
Thierry: Wait, hold on!

Thierry smiles brightly.
Thierry: I think it'd be fantastic if you could make it, Charlie!
Charlie is not really listening. He thinks about how Thierry is the richest most popular guy at their school, a stereotypical Prince Charming... AKA THE ONE GUY HE DOESN'T NEED IN HIS LIFE AS A RANDO!!
Thierry: Well? Have any Halloween plans? I'm inviting everyone in our grade...
Charlie, thinking: Why the hell is he talking to me anyways? I have no memory of ever striking a convo with this dude...

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Pope Leo XIV
Today, more than ever, we must return to the heart, the center of feeling and emotion, the locus of freedom. Though it includes reason, the heart transcends and transforms it. Only by returning to the heart can we undergo a true ecological conversion that transforms our personal

Austin
I reject this whole heartedly. What you fail to see Mr Pope, the Bible says

This is such a stupid comparison but grief makes me literally feel like a sims with a sad moodlet. One moment I’m walking around doing my queue of tasks and then I get interrupted because it’s time to perform my 30 seconds of crying animation

Welp, EA is now owned by a group including the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and Trump's son in law Jared Kushner (CEO of Affinity Partners).

I cannot even express how tremendously bad this is going to be for EA specifically and for gaming in general.

Karen Attiah @karenattiah.bsky.social · 15d

As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.

Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

Jesus Christ.

It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore.
The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.

Liberals have this mental model they keep trying to update where they try to fit the words and actions of right wingers into a consistent moral framework while in reality what the right believes is "I should get everything I want" and "I can say or do anything to get that"

I am enamored with a Trigun mecha AU created by @beelzebby666.bsky.social in their fic, Everlong Everlong. It inspired me so much, it let me get over my robot-drawing slump temporarily and prompted me to create designs for the mechs piloted by Vash & Meryl and Wolfwood & Tesla
