Hi, I'm der Glitzkrieg but you can call me Xander! I've been cosplaying since 2002, I've got a degree in Textiles and Apparel Design, and love making stuff. I've been active in the competitive scene since 2006 and have entered, judged, and run contests.

#cosplay
A cosplay dressed as Legato Bluesummers from Trigun. He sits on a large rock, looking off to the right. He wears a blue wig, a black long sleeved shirt, brown gloves, grey pants with metallic bands on the thigh and ankle, and a white coat with metallic details along the bottom, spikes coming out of one shoulder and a skull strapped to his other arm. A tree peeks in from the left corner. A photo of a cosplayer dressed as Okada Izo from Fate/Grand Order. The photo is shot at an upward angle. He wears a black curly wig, green-grey hakama, slip-on loafers, a light grey kimono with white juban, a black wool overcoat, and an orange scarf. stands in front of a wooden structure on a slatted wood platform. A prop severed head is on the ground in front of him, his foot resting on it. A bloodied prop katana rests against the severed head. A cosplayer dressed as Testament from Guilty Gear Strive. His arm is raised, holding the handle of a large prop scythe that peeks out behind his calf. He wears black knee boots, a long black skirt with metallic details on the slit, a brown leather belt with three grey skulls hanging down from it, a black velvet vest with silver buttons, a single black velvet sleeve, a white glove, a white jabot with a stiff collar, long black wig, and a top hat. A cosplayer dressed as Rei from Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage. His eyes ate closed, his head slightly bowed. He clutches a manilla envelope against his chest with both hands. He's wearing a silver spiked mullet wig, a navy and aqua blue vest with metallic accents as a silver shoulder pad, black and silver bracers with dirty white straps holding them on, a black kidney belt with silver accents, and black and white pants with grey thigh pads.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.
"Oh boy the ADA accommodations saga has gotten worse, and I feel the only way to get SQUEX's attention is to make noise. Do you know of any creators in the FFXIV space, especially those who are disabled and with a FanFest ticket, who I can partner with to make a youtube video or something? I don't want any credit or anything, but video editing isn't my thing and I'm not a loud enough noise for them to care. At this rate, I'm going to need to sell off my ticket. What they're doing is neither safe nor accessible."

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!

Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

"i hate writing NPC dialogue i don't wanna do it i need bobot to do it for me buhhhhh" you are like a little baby
Earthbound screenshot where an NPC is telling Ness "Ok, but your teen years will be ruined just because you didn't buy an Egg." Pokemon trainer: Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear! the beloved Gatekeeper from FE3H: As for me, my job is to stand here at this glorious entrance and leisurely watch over the comings and goings of everyone. Make folks smile, you know? (i couldn't find a good example of Gatekeeper's best dialogue because it's all long convos but people love this guy) it's just the merchant from RE4. no dialogue needed because we all know it by heart and we all love him

He was simply too powerful so the universe took his eye to slow him down. It didn't work.
Phot of my fluffy black and white kitten sitting with his paws folded up him on the back of a couch on a dark brown couch cover. He looks brightly up with one golden eye.

Fishtopher 3 years ago, when he was first adopted. He is a brown tabby cat with green eyes and a wide head. He lays in the arms of the camera person and looks a little anxious. Fishtopher today. He is a brown tabby cat with green eyes, and is sitting very confidently and expectantly for treats.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
