You best start believing in computers, Mr. Leto. You’re in one.

I did a big irl lol at that. Nailed it.

I did too! It seemed to lean too hard into "big licensed song played for a long time = FEELS" as a substitute for better writing. Each character's entire arc seemed to do variations on a 180 just to force a close. It was really weird and off-putting. I still think S1 was terrific but that ruined S2.

The thing about this that's worth recalling is that it *wouldn't* even offend most Americans: just the group of reactionary grifters who make money by being professionally offended online.

Man, that Peacemaker series finale was godawful. Haven't seen one end that badly since Dexter New Blood. Disappointing.

If you're cancelling Game Pass today, grab a cheap indie game or two, and then put the rest of the money toward supporting indie games media by subscribing to your favourite podcasts/websites/etc.

so far, most of my experience using AI in Google products is yelling at the screen with variations of"what the fuck do you think you're doing?!" and "what smooth-brained sociopath could possibly want this?!"

Just got this season's COVID and flu vaccines! Such an immense relief knowing I'm doing the best I can for myself, my wife, and the people in my community. I got mine in WA state through booking on the Walgreens website, and it was simple and straightforward.

Oh thank goodness. It looks like it actually is possible to disable Gmail/Google Docs' AI nonsense with a non-Workspace account. I'm sick of AI getting crammed into every product in the stupidest ways possible, and Google's one of the worst offenders. Info here:

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!
