Self-promo sure, that does make sense. It's just that even that adds to the feeling people need to be there.

I'm gonna assume this is in good faith.

I'm getting at that it feels like they put lower skin count heroes into paid packs almost as if to say "you guys complain about not getting skins, buy this to prove you want them"

The only people I understand are people trying to get support for Gaza and need as much reach as possible. That's totally fine. Everyone else tho, idk

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

Oh, I've not seen that, at least in the US. Everything is always mythic shop only from what I knew.

Thanks for the info! Do you happen to have a screenshot of what it typically looks like?

If you're a Dem that pushes away candidates like Mamdani and then copies the superficial aesthetics of what they're doing you are in no uncertain terms a parasite

Is it possible that it's like that Katy Perry episode, where this one isn't the bad record, but it's that precursor to something?

For a weapon skin? Aren't they always just in the Mythic shop?

Brotha Dom @brothadom.bsky.social · 6h

There's a weird little game that Blizzard seems to be playing. Heroes that get less skins seem to be tied to dollars rather than standard premium currency. It's odd.

But if you buy this you have the currency for the BP. It's just interesting

It’s funny how black people are expected to reach across the aisle to voters like these, while no one ever expects them to reach across the aisle to black people. Amazing who gets to be human, and who doesn’t.

Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 10h

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Panel 1: Text says "My dad was an orc". It's a green orc wearing a dress shirt with a purple tie and glasses, holding a cup of coffee. The cup is made of stone and has an ragged axe blade on it. He also has a pencil in his pocket protector, and the pencil is also a tiny axe.

Panel 2: Text says "My mom was a witch". It's a woman with green skin and one yellow eye, glowing and emanating magic, gleaming from beneath her big purple witch had, which has small wood constructions hanging off of it and two pins on it: one of a mushroom and one of the Newgrounds angry face. He's wearing jeans and a Costco tank top, with a reddish purple vest over it, and is holding a broom and a tote bag with a bag of chips visible within it.

Panel 3: Text says "You'd think I'd be some kind of magical berserker". We are looking overhead at a muscular green man looking up at us, with his arms splayed out in a powerful stance, and his left arm holding an axe. He has a dark purple had and shoulder-cape, and smiles with malice. Text continues, saying "but actually I ended up with my MOM'S strength and my DAD'S magic attunement."

Panel 4: A normal looking with green skin, messy purple hair, big round glasses, and a pointy nose, wearing a t-shirt with the night sky in a square in the center, says "so, basically, I'm green."

There's an incredible amount of games right now.

I'm personally bouncing between Overwatch, Hades 2, Megabonk, Sonic Racing Crossworlds, and need to get back to Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

That's two AAA games, two indies, and whatever level Sonic games are this year. AAA or double, idk.
