LOSING MY MIND AT THE PHONE NUMBER ON THIS BUS IN FRONT OF ME

Yerocha @yerocha.bsky.social · 15h

"Doctor, Pagliacci didn't cheer me up at all."

The doctor turned around and, upon seeing the tiniest speck of face paint, I realized I had been conned.

Saw a video of bad Two Sentence Horror and started coming up with my own dumb examples.

"If you press this button, you'll receive a million dollars, but someone you don't know will die." I'll explain what I did next, but first, we need to talk about parallel universes.

After the successful deployment of the 'Green Devil' prototype, mass production has begun on the Antifa Standard Issue FR-0.G Power Suit.

This will be the turning point of the war.

Thanks. I'm gonna wait a little while before going for the other clears.

...mainly because I just bought nine aetherpool grips.

I cannot express to you how urgent it is that we all loudly and constantly support queer media right now. It is my number one goal for this year, to support and promote as many queer artists as possible.

Clarifying RetroAchievements’ Goals

TL;DR RetroAchievements supports openness and celebrating retro gaming, but we will not provide a platform for games that contain illegal, hateful, or otherwise abhorrent content. Achievement sets for...

This time they let you party with random players for every floor. It creates a whole new problem, though, because the pomanders are way rarer and you don't start with any.

Shoutouts to the one group I was in that wiped in thirty seconds because a giant gecko did his best Wolliwog impression.

First day of the new Deep Dungeon in XIV and I managed to go as far as floor 92 before we pulled one enemy too many and took an untelegraphed line AoE to the face. Luckily they let you start at 71 this time.

Nice, I've seen those shows and they kick ass.

Yerocha @yerocha.bsky.social · 3d

Good to hear! What were the series, by any chance?

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I'm a few hours in and the cast consists almost entirely of cohabitating women and a kid we adopted. One of the women is a high-level Digimon.

This is turning into the plot of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

Yerocha @yerocha.bsky.social · 4d

There's this recurring pattern in the Digimon Story games the dialogue was clearly written for one gender and so playing as the other gender makes a lot of dialogue sound gay.

With Time Stranger I'm starting to question if the writers are doing it on purpose.

1, man people are gross
2, "The Human Centipede of content" is the best descriptor of AI slop I've heard yet.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I follow a lot of streamers who make RA content (including at least one developer) and if they all stopped making that content, it kinda takes away a lot of the fun.

Yerocha @yerocha.bsky.social · 4d

It's looking like RetroAchievements are taking action to get rid of the racist content and users. It's good to see an organization actually make an effort to fix their screw-ups, but I'm still worried the damage has already been done.

Okay so RetroAchievements:

Removed the Romhack
Removed the staff member pushing for it from Admin
Banned a bunch of the chuds trying to pile on
Removed some other stuff that shouldn't have been there
Reinstated and unblocked accounts that shouldn't have been

I think they're handling this right tbh

Decided to take stock of the FF Magic cards I picked up. Somehow, out of twelve packs opened, I got three identical foils.

Playing around with panel layouts, I like the idea of showing both extremes of one character in quick succession.

Having worked community management both voluntarily and professionally for about 15 years, I can say @retroachievements.org has a nightmare of their own making to deal with, but they are actually doing the right things to fix it. The difficulty is finding a way to heal once things are right.
