I think it'll start with non-VC investors -- pension companies, Wall Street, etc. -- pulling back their money, whether because they're getting worried or a new shiny thing comes along or whatever. Once the first cracks are in, they'll multiply fast until the whole thing comes down.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

I prefer digital because I like being able to iterate on things easily, redo bits I get wrong, draw without commitment, that sort of thing.

But ultimately, like any skill, any start is better than no start. If all you've got is pen and paper, start with that.

SOLARCRAWL: Fifth planet out from the sun is Scintil, a bast world tree of green canopy that shrouds a steaming, thriving jungle with a freshwater lake glinting at its heart.

Lots of climbing for the Astronauts who land here.

I'll be posting more maps as I make them.
A Little Prince style planet that's a big mangrove-like tree. roots trail after a spherical green canopy that encircles a globular lake of water at its core.

I am about as far over on the 'introvert' end of the slider as you can get, and even I need real human contact now and again.

Further, do it in real life.

Online games are fine and good, but socialising with real human beings -- even in a hired hall with so many games in it that you can barely hear the people at the other end of the table -- has a certain something that online lacks.

Obligatory Ghost Trick mention.

Not because I saw it coming but because I was spoiled on the twist years before I played it *and the game still holds up*.

Banned Books - Gator Days
Banned Books - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian. Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned? Dora: Vulgar Language. Panel 2 Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is. Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES! Panel 3 Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter. Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude. Panel 4 Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t". Olivia: Now I have to read it. Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

Buried in Altman's post is the real story: "People are generating much more than we expected per user," using massive compute resources on content that's often being generated for very small audiences (it is, after all, a social media app). OpenAl will "have to somehow make money for video generation," Altman wrote. Translation: Sora is burning through compute costs with no offsetting revenue. Altman floated a potential solution: "We are going to try sharing some of this revenue with rightsholders who want their characters generated by users." The idea-perhaps similar to You Tube's ad-monetization program for videos that include copyrighted material -would give studios a financial incentive to opt in. "The exact model will take some trial and error to figure out," Altman acknowledged, "but we plan to start very soon."

I like making more physical type trackers but along those lines for ttrpg character stats.

Well, there's a correct answer to the combat wheelchair argument. The other one is just a matter of preference.

If there's anyone on the internet equipped to deal with the posters of Bluesky, it's about 20% of the SA mods.
