Updated the Sinclair Spectrum Edition of Jurl so it's up to date with (most) of the others by adding the Bonus functionality and adding a demo to the page.

It will be interesting to see how their most visible investor/hype man, Linus Sebastian, reacts given LMg has employed openly gay/trans etc staff and seems pretty liberal and left leaning.

I love the LoTR films, but even I draw the line at shotgunning all 3 extended cuts in one go.

Says the man who used to wear fur coats to look like a pimp, and be accompanied onstage for the LOLs by a person who had dwarfism.

But sure, blue hair and nose rings are "stupid"....

Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings.

They do look a little... mistreated shall we say....

I feel bad that Jenn Budd has deleted their whole account, but not that the AI video has gone.
This stuff is so pernicious. People were taking it at face value just because they wanted to.
I'll delete the post below soon as they've done the right thing now, but I'll leave this one up.

It is a bit extreme deleting the entire account. All they had to do was delete the video.

It's the effects work, right.

Has to be the effects.

Couldn't possibly be any other reason at all. Oh no. No other reason at all...

I don't know why, but I get irrationally annoyed when people refer to scrolling beat em ups as "belt scrollers".

I don't ever recall using that term back in the day. It was always a "beat em up" or a "scrolling beat em up".

Some people have "weaponised" blocklists and add people they just personally dislike to them. It's a bit pathetic really.

I'm on one that has me pegged as a "MAGA/Fed" and another that just has me listed as a "Shithead".

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

Based on their replies, you are entirely correct.

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

Your reliance on someone who posts obvious A.I. fakes and implies it is legitimate footage? OK. Your choice.

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

So you can't explain it, because you've tied yourself in knots trying to defend Jenn... Got it.

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

Oh man... Apparently, even if it's blindingly obvious that a video is an A.I. fake (like say someone with 3 arms), you are a "dumbass" if you don't take the time to research it to verify its fake before calling it out for what it is....

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

What?

It's so obviously fake that people are "dumbasses" if they don't go and verify this blindingly obvious fact?

That is utterly nonsensical.

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

Please explain how pointing out fake videos which are a source of misinformation is wrong?

I'm going to get comfortable for this....

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

Apparently, pointing out an obviously A.I. generated video is A.I. generated is "shitposting" now...

Who knew, eh @jimcaris.bsky.social ?

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

It's an incredibly obvious A.I. fake. JIm, or anyone else for that matter, didn't need to go and verify anything beyond actually watching it and spotting the third arm. That's proof enough.

You are the one getting all angry and throwing insults around. I think YOU need to chill out.

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

Jim, it's clearly wrong to do the following (apparently):

1: Point out obvious A.I. fakes.
2: Discredit people who post A.I. fakes.
3: USe your eyes and brain to notice A.I. fakes.

At least, I think that's the implied intent...

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

Yep. More and more.

Scary Robb from 8/16/32bit 💀💀💀 @81632bitretro.com · 18h

No, I didn't miss it. But they managed to log on and lock the replies. And as has been pointed out to you, it takes just as long to delete the post as locking the replies does. Jenn actively chose to keep the video up.

Think about that. Think about the why.

The "Twitter effect" as a reply to a me:

A reply that says "You may want to change your tampon and take 2 Tylenol"
