For the sake of argument, if this worked perfectly, wouldn't the end result just be completely identical to finding random songs on music streaming sites????

![beemovieerotica on tumblr: "whenever we try to get our dogs excited for something we've been saying "do you want [activity / treat / etc]" and only now we've realized that they don't actually understand [activity / treat / etc] in isolation. we can say "ice cream" a million times to no response, but "do you want ice cream" works.
however, "do you want" also works.
"want" by itself, also works
we've conditioned our dogs to beg for the root of all suffering - they will not be escaping the cycle of samsara - we goofed - their karma is fucked - absolutely fucked"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4djfp3b27soxcfkxhirydi6d/bafkreico2q6u3tggs3cuw4thw4nly6fh5oz7balxd3ha7glkilhoerqpra@jpeg)

Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

The harassment is never going to stop as long as the companies give in. They're going to fire every person of color, everyone in the LGBT community, every woman, and that still won't placate the "trolls." They'll just assign white male employees they don't like the title of "liberal" and keep going.

One thing that stands out in the responses i got was that genAI takes away the very thing that makes making a game so fun. It's fun and worthwhile to do BECAUSE it is hard, because the contraints force creative thinking, and that is in that tension point beauty is found.

Ugh, I didn't know about this one. Of course it has all my books. Not only is that money I could use, but every sale helps those of us hanging on in the midlist keep publishing at all. Love to see hundreds of downloads on series that people complain haven't continued with more books. Yeah guess why.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

So sick today again. Only was able to get 10 minutes of work done, but that's 10 more minutes than the past week. Felt good to work on my creative projects, even if it was only such a small amount of time :)

As tank or dps, this game mode is actually a blast for those of us who like to play random heroes each unranked game LOL
Overwatch Spirit Showdown mode is pretty fun as tank or dmg, but as a healer I just feel like I'm watching other people play with the new toy/game mode. "Swap heroes whenever you eliminate an enemy" actually isnt an elimination, it's when you get the "final blow"
