The literally said "A dozen people," absolutely wild

You're surprised that people are bullying a marginalized person on the internet? Have you ever been on the internet before today? Like I'm sorry to tell you this but it turns out the relative anonymity of the internet empowers people to be really awful. I hope you never learn about 4chan and twitter

Best take I've seen all day, very refreshing. Star Trek even at its worst is interesting, the most interesting Star Wars gets is when a guy is evil but in a cool way

star wars: cinematic experience about space politics blah blah something ninjas whatever

star trek: stage play about space fuckin

People are bullying a disabled person on the internet, there's nothing to do with the term clanker because they would just be using another word and it would be just as awful. Clanker has become a useful term for shaming AI and that is the good and just thing to do. So stop concern trolling for AI

Frankly I think is it extremely stupid to conflate hatred of AI, hatred which is good and cool and extremely necessary right now, with the Sci-Fi trope of bigotry of an artificial person. The thing that's not harmless is AI and we must make people too embarrassed to use it whenever possible

I felt like this was harmless until I saw someone mention they had no problem killing the Geth anymore after experiencing LLMs.

That is bad! That is a story specifically intended to broaden your empathy and challenge you and you're no longer experiencing complex human feelings about it!

"this is a bad thing that you should not be promoting because it is actually based on realworld racism and is used like realworld racism" is apparently the anti-woke position on bluesky right now, and everyone is rushing to show that they don't agree with it

What's the bottleneck on it, Research, recording, or editing? If it's the first or third I could definitely help you with that! We bypass scripting which is save a lot of time, and you just talk off the cuff. We can cut down research too through community suggestions and get a turnaround of 3 days

The only accomplishment Bari Weiss has ever had was getting fired from a mainstream media outlet for being TOO Zionist

You really should make these a video! Nobody has done this since the late gamegate dope TotalBiscuit and ever since I've always really wished someone would!

My apologies because I know I asked you about this when we were both on stream with Nika ages ago but I don't remember what you said lol

If I had followed her only an hour and a half earlier I wouldn't have missed out on the steam sale having only bought Undertale for my girlfriend. Don't make the same mistake I did. Follow early, stay prepared

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 2d

I made a big thread of games I recommend in the Steam sale, so if you're looking for something last minute, there's some extremely good games in this list, and quite a few excellent horror games if you want to get a little spooky for Halloween 🎃

Enjoy!

Extremely funny to hear that the 'clean your room' guy is allegedly dying because his home was festering with mold for decades. His family is now blaming it on 'spiritual attacks' and it's even funnier that his daughter apparently the one who put him on the carnivore diet as well as in that coma

This part is a little too flattering. Talented artists can work on creatively bankrupt things, and there is a whole host of trash that is otherwise addicting but can barely even be called a game. Gamedev is often just a job and sometimes a job is a job and that's it

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 5d

Incredibly talented people work on live service games, writers and artists and composers, and they're doing tremendous creative work, because the business model wouldn't work without the actual game to hook people through its world or characters and gameplay, that's what gets players invested.

It's so funny it's such a pump and dump scheme but I wonder if they even know that were they genuinely think this toy will lead to a technological advancement

Crazy miscalculation on their part lmao. I didn't even know it was already 20 bucks but 30 is wild! you can get away with it if you raise the price by less than a dollar every 8 months or so, but 10 bucks at a time is going to make everyone gawk lol

Sabine Hossenfelder has got to be the most frustrating channel on YouTube because she's so amazing at explaining scientific concepts that I accept all of her takes regarding Bell's theorem and quantum physics, and then she also happens to be a massive transphobe lol so I can't trust the former!

Star Wars being bad caused the election of Donald Trump

The game could be as balanced fun as it's ever been but because a player thinks that they have something at one point and then lost it later, they get mad. Hardcore wipe gave everyone parody and lowered the power ceiling and everyone says it's the casual players at a disadvantage! It's the opposite!
