I'm an indie dev currently working on a hybrid RPG and visual novel called South of the March. It's set in the same fantasy world as a text adventure I released a while back, this time with hand-drawn art and turn-based combat!

everybody's always bringing up the tremendous ethical and environmental concerns of AI, while completely ignoring the true threat of freak policing.

This is great. Volume normalization is one of the big audio steps I haven't touched yet, hopefully I can get a head start on it here.

This is truly a "fine, I'll do it myself" moment".

Here's an easy audio mixing guide for Ren'Py dummies (me).

Word-for-word transcript of my search:

ME: "Which member of Seventeen is the stupidest? Is it DK?"
GOOGLE AI: "How dare you. This is not who we are."
TUMBLR POST 3 RESULTS DOWN: "It's DK."

Sometimes I google something like, "which member of [kpop group] is the stupidest?" and instead of showing me answers, google will send in the AI to scold me about how that's not a respectful question. I'm sorry, did I ask you?

Pretty funny throughout, but was at least one other time where it made me nearly choke on pizza.

Thinking about that part in the new Jeffrey Epstein mockumentary from The Onion where somebody applies the phrase "nevertheless, she persisted" to Ghislaine Maxwell.

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I think I'm reading too much One Piece because when I see comics on here I've started reading them right to left by default.

Sorry, I was mistaken, it actually has *four* total reviews. The earliest one was in Russian, and according to google translate, says "first fuck." The presumed director did not address this review.

Small Gray Games @smallgraygames.bsky.social · 1d

I love that Tubi has movies so obscure that when you look them up on letterboxd, they have three total reviews, one of which is almost definitely the director, who spends half of their review shit-talking the other two reviewers.

Four star letterboxd review of a movie called "My First Year Off Campus." It's too long to type it all, but basically the reviewer calls out the other two reviewers by name and suggests that they were just too stupid for this movie or perhaps don't understand movies in general.

It doesn't really happen anymore, but that used to be my primary dream style in high school. Just a full regular day, then wake up and do the full regular day. Sucks.

I firmly believe Aziz is a prime example of a guy who, in the wake of his MeToo moment, could have just said, "sorry, I didn't get it but I do now," and society at large would have completely accepted it. But he simply cannot do himself a favor.

Comedians like Aziz Ansari and Jessica Kirson need to look elsewhere for organizations to donate their Riyadh Comedy Festival money. Human Rights Watch said they ‘cannot accept’ donations from them.

I like it every time Luffy does this, and I like it even more when Chopper sort of frantically tries to imitate it to fit in.

Luffy sticking chopsticks between his lips and nose to create some sort of weird tusk-type expression.

A lot of jokes about the absurdity of “the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa,” but I am concerned that may mean they actually *have* arbitrarily arrested the random girlfriend of some guy who runs a Facebook group or something.

Sometimes I see a post that I just assume was @scoobydouchebag.bsky.social and then I'm confused when it's not.

"Can I see the cheapest thing from [specific brand name you carry]?"

"I hear you man but no, how about the most expensive thing, and it's a different brand, and it's a different thing?"

One of the coolest things about Amazon is how if you search for things, it doesn't care, it kinda just shows you whatever, and if you then try sorting, that also just shows you whatever.

Damn. Then you can at least plan for the pizza you will order no too long in the future.

These are the tips Big Indiegame doesn't want you to know. Can't be beat by competitors if you narrow your audience to one individual guy and then do manual word-of-mouth marketing directly into his ear.

Yeah I'm really liking it so far. Never heard a thing about it, just got it randomly on sale. I truly hope it doesn't suffer that much from the title, but I can't help but think literally almost any other title would sell better lol

If I could add a feature like this, it would be to pin other people's pfps so that even if they change it, I would still see the original.
