Good to know that a bunch of new games from big name publishers (Ubisoft, Nexon, Level-5, Activision) have used AI for things like artwork and voiceover. Truly wonderful, love it, incredible, amazing.
This industry can eat the fattest cheesiest dick.

It's been a hot minute since I've been given some literal fuckery with the Anki stuff...
I just want an example sentence featuring '不特定' which doesn't involve the concept of eating ass.

I went a bit mad again and bought some more books. This should be the last load of books I buy until a good chunk of the way into next year.

I've been using Anki across the last nine months and change now, and I have accrued a pocket dictionary's worth of words from books I have been reading.
As a consequence, I have reached a funny number.

This is actually going pretty well, I must say. I'm not running into nearly as many unknown words as I used to.

Been playing a lot of Shadow of the Colossus recently, and lately I started a PS4 remake playthrough.
It's going well!

There's that Brian Eno quote that explains why people like the things that, in their time, were seen as flaws in a given medium.
Texture warping is a reminder things weren't perfect, but beauty can still be found in imperfection. It's a core tenet of 'wabi-sabi': beauty in the imperfect.

I wonder if this is gonna get translated into English. I want others to read it, because it's making me oddly obsessed with Otsu. It's also just...a pleasant, comfy read.
