The explanation both answered my questions, and left me as stunned as not knowing

I assure you my slander is Leto slander that unfortunately in this case happens to be Tron-related

And yes. I know em dashes aren't a smoking gun or whatever, but idk. It's just adding to the uncomfy "is this ai slop shovelware" feeling that I guess I have to get whenever any game comes out now.

Devs of this new Heroes of Might and Magic say they're not using any AI in this game.

NGL, the art feels a little off to the people I'm streaming for, there's "template" instead of I think they mean "temple", and even an em dashes everywhere

I hate that this is how I have to engage with things now

Screenshot from Heroes of Might and Magic game. Necromancer named Ethric on the left. Art is a skeleton in a cowl with a crown. Description is "Truth lies buried deeper than bones -- and twice as cursed." Shows units being used beneath.

On the right the scenario titled "Jebus Cross". Description reads "The template is filled with incredible treasures. Reach the central area before your opponent to claim them -- and secure victory in the final battle."

Underneath is map size, # of players, etc that is not important for this purpose.

I love having freshly dyed hair. I hate having faded needs-to-be-dyed-again hair

Note to those relying on alt text. The BG3 screen also has a statue of an armored figure with a sword. Forgot to include that.

The title screen for the demo of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is giving very Baldur's Gate 3 vibes

Title screen for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era. A castle and medieval village viewed from atop a hill. Trees line the foreground on the left and right side of the screen. A battle is taking place with a dragon attacking.

Title screen for Baldur's Gate 3. A castle wall / medieval village viewed from atop a hill. Trees line the foreground on the left and right side of the screen. No battle happening though.

All of the surgeons I know of in this area seem to be highly regarded, so just know you're in good hands!

I'd like to get the soundtrack on vinyl or something and then wait until the movie isn't meaningfully relevant to actually watch it

I want a Tron movie that's just Bruce Boxleitner forgetting his Encom password and it's pretty much all him at a terminal trying his password over and over to electronic music.

Some scenes he plays Tron on the grid looking up wondering what happened to his user who hasn't logged on yet.

Okay but they should probably keep making TRON movies as vehicles for cool auteur soundtracks

the best part of Tron Ares was when he said "TRON APETIT" and Trond all over those guys.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

Also acting as if only playing popular games (or only playing one or two games) somehow disqualifies someone from being a gamer is certainly a take.

Like imagine these chuds going up to some competetive fighting game player like "yeah well you're not a real gamer, though, are you?"

Clowns.

you could have told me that those comments were from a similar report 10 years ago and I would have believed you. Like I got major deja vu reading that.

Seriously? Doesn't have any references more fresh than candy crush? Who's the real fake gamer lmao

You might be able to get a donut pillow from the hospital, but you might not so plan for that. It will be your best friend for the ride back to wherever.

It's been mentioned, but I can't stress enough comfy easy to get on/off clothing.

Also make sure you're masking up on the flight. Kinda obvious.

Tabbeigh Cat 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @tabbeigh.bsky.social · 1d

Plan ahead! Sort out your food/beverages situation beforehand. You're going to be dehydrated af and on meds so grab a case of gatorade or something to toss in the fridge wherever you're recovering. Also something to eat. Jello, apple sauce, instant mashed potatoes. Whatever you like / can eat

I've helped with several ppl's recovery, so I'll add:

Pads / lube definitely. Also something to keep you entertained day of surgery in case you lose phone reception. Things will move faster than you think they will, but there's still that immediate preop wait that's rough if you're prone to anxiety

(green light on her right side cause she's standing next to Melinoe's glowing arm, off camera)

fanart of Eris, from Hades 2, she's sitting, right leg with her knee bent, in front of her
right hand on her right foot, left hand on her face, framing her left eye between two fingers
she's wearing big sneakers, micro shorts, some sort of sweater with stripes showing her shoulders

fanart of Medea from Hades 2, but wearing modern clothes (tiny leather shorts with double belt, red/purple leather crop top), a nose ring, necklaces, also big tattoo covering the entire left arm (a snake, a moon crescent, flowers and leaves)
She's sitting, resting on her left hand, her right hand next to her face, conjuring some plague magic that bathes her in green light

Right? Like he absolutely did not have to go that hard, and yet we're all better off for him having done so 🤣
