While I do consider myself fluent in english, please keep in mind that it's still not my first language. That plus my autism can and in the past has caused some miscommunication where it can appear that I say things that can be read one way and interpreted another.

You know Animal Crossing predates MySims by about 6 years?

You're joking right?
Things like Astro Bot are worthy competition.
This is just a clone that's gonna leave no significant mark on the gaming landscape.

My life is pretty shit right now but I guess it could be worse. I could be American. Oh damn, imagine that.

Every time I see/hear someone say "I could care less", I want to ask "Then why don't you?"

Nick of the stars 🌟 @bahusch.bsky.social · 1d

Like, if you COULD care less, then that means there is some care there that could be lowered. If you say you couldn't care less, then the amount of care is already low as can be.

Can anyone enlighten me why native english speakers say "I could care less" when in fact they don't care at all?
Shouldn't it be "I couldn't care less"?

That's why I only call them AI images. They're images but they're not art.

How have so many people forgotten how they used to live just a couple of years ago?
Is AI rotting brains that quickly?

Even my boyfriend, who was not familiar with the original whatsoever, once walked by when I was playing the game and he commented on how aggressive the music was. Like, it was noticeable.

Nick of the stars 🌟 @bahusch.bsky.social · 2d

I actually kinda hate it. It's so loud, some of the original melody gets completely lost in the mix and it just gives me sensory overload. I like the variations used in shops but the main version just made me aggressive after a while. I always had to turn it off for longer sessions in Rogueport.

Reminds me of when a friend googled "What dinosaur species is Baby Sinclair (from the show Dinosaurs)?" and the AI just said "It's not a dinosaur, it's a puppet"

Very helpful

"The creatives don't understand we can't ask for consent because then our AI wouldn't work and we wouldn't want that, would we?"

Actually, yes, we would. We know your AI can't work if you ask for consent and yet we ask for it.
If your tech can't work on ethical grounds, it shouldn't exist.

Exxactly. If they didn't bother to keep it, why should we bother keeping it exclusive to them? They don't deserve it.
