How to Spot SORA AI Videos with Removed Watermarks.

That popular Video of a Possum being scared while eating Halloween candy, AI. That one has an extra tell, the time stamp numbers in the upper corner, are fucky wucky.

That is how I started to notice the edited out Watermark that is included.

For the record: I've played three demos recently (Crystallium, Nikoderiko, Relooted) and got Coromon, Hollow Knight, and Silksong as active longer-run games.

Thunder Tiger Gaming @thundertgrgames.bsky.social · 2d

I gotta say, streaming on Twitch once or twice a week and turning those into VODs for YouTube has felt more manageable than just streaming 3x/wk direct on YouTube.

Also, more importantly, I'm looking forward to games more; not sure if that's related or just the nature of the games I'm playing X'-D

Just bought Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna), Button City, and Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) ahead of my first big 12hr Twitch stream this coming Monday! Gotta celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day in gamer style

They probably won't take the whole day, so I'll probably add MTG for the heck of it?

We're going to print outside intellectual properties on Magic cards using reskins and silver borders.

Actually, we'll print the outside properties in black border, but we'll also offer in-universe versions.

Actually, we won't offer in-universe versions, but uB won't be legal in Standard.

Actually, UB will be legal in Standard, but only half of the sets will be uB.

Actually, there'll be four uB sets and three in-universe sets in 2026, but it'll be half and half in 2027.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Yep, a lot of what I've been feeling with this set... It's such a conceptual mismatch that it's painfully clear how much UB is ruining the game. As said near the end, the few gems in the set make it clear that this *could* have been done well if WotC just put some actual effort - but they didn't.

this business model should be flatly illegal

taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome

ban it completely

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.
