A highly political Jackal that regularly commits the worst offense a Canadian can- refusing to apologize over spilt milk. Sometimes streams games. 18+
While I haven't -made- lewd content for sites I have made it on the individual consumption level, I plan/desire to do it on a larger scale.

I am an AMAB non-binary (Agendered) and I use my voice for that content. I find it sexy/hot/validating that people find my voice sexy and get off to it.

Progressivism needs to fight forward for change and be aware of the past, it's changes, and what past changes are bearing the harms out only now, or have had such harms accelerated now

Other places around the world can be warnings of the path your locality is following, or a roadmap out of it

Because we are under the assault of the consequences of history as well as the current trends in political/social cultures.

An example of this is the current housing crisis in Canada having its first bricks laid in 1982 with the public policy change to strip away the strong base of public housing

I am not disputing a rise in regressive counter culture causing active harm to societies across the globe literally right now, or it's historical presence impacting today in others.

Merely expressing that while a rose tinted view of history is dangerous, progressivism needs to study actual history.
November 19, 2025 at 2:48 PM
This isn't a selective view of the world instead this is pointing to the progress made or preserved outside our borders.

An example here can be Japan, which has some of the worst socioeconomic environments and friction to progressivism, but also has some of the strongest laws protecting a workforce

Because language requires shortcuts, moreso on limited character platforms, I'll clarify

I did not mean "the rest of the world in its entirety is wholly better." I said "elsewhere in the world" as in other places around the world have added/improved the protections and rights we have lost locally
November 19, 2025 at 12:36 PM
We do have a history that shows us what government economic policies work, we do have a history that shows us those policies abandoned and our rights stripped, and we can look to real places in the world today to see where we can do things better.
November 19, 2025 at 12:23 PM
I believe your point to be true, don't build progressivism on nostalgia. On a rose tinted view of what was lost

But in North America we have seen the economic rights and protections of the general populace continually stripped while those same things have been expanded elsewhere in the world

So the use of AI in Arc Raiders is closer to using machine learning to solve Chess, or have the TF2 Soldier beat Rocketjump Maps than making anything more artistic

While the AI is generating the art of how the bones of those characters move, that is restricted by that 3d Model's artist.
November 12, 2025 at 10:14 PM
To hopefully clear it up a bit, my understanding is that AI was used for the movement and animations of the robotic enemies. That is, not generative AI but an active ML being given a body to control and a task, then iterating generations. That then makes a lightweight non-learning model to be used

You know what, if they want biblical accuracy they can just ask me politely to and I will. I will unravel my wheels within wheels, my endless eyes, and my flaming visage to them for their trouble.

We normally keep that masked up for their comfort but hey, if they want us to let it fly then why not?

I don't even make things and I am drowning in ideas of things to make.

Maybe I should make things.

A simple law that says that registered payment processors must charge the same fees to all their merchant accounts and do not have the power to declare a merchant as selling illegal goods.

Mastercard shouldn't be allowed to declare what art is and is not legal. Legality is the realm of government.
November 9, 2025 at 7:19 PM
And exactly the opposite. The goal when targeting elected officials is to get legislation that gets payment processor companies removed as the arbiter of what is legal and illegal to sell.

Regulation requiring payment processors to treat all storefronts equally is one avenue for victory.

A Crown Corporation or Nationalized Service would be akin to the USPS for the US's example.

General separation from the rest of the government and merely used as a vector for the service. USPS has no idea what is in the box, only that a box went between two addresses. But for banks and stores.
November 9, 2025 at 7:03 PM
The only acceptable alternative would be a nationalized payment processor to be a public option to undercut the ability for payment processors to control the market.

Lacking that? Pressure the pay-pros. Pressure your electeds. Demand change.

At what point in the normal structure do you unclip your keys?

Because I may or may not have at least once put my phone in the fridge because it was in my hand as I was grabbing the milk.

Your keys are likely not in the spot they are supposed to be but in the spot of something else for Go Mode.

Yellow paint feels less artificial and more natural in grunge urban sprawls that do make use of other colors beyond greys and browns. Art direction can mask the obviousness of the trope here.

But in wild open world games, actual yellow paint (which I have seen done) is jarring.

On one hand we have games like Portal 2 that are using very subtle pattern cues as guidance for the player as to how to solve puzzles or the next step forward.

Flip side we have early Assassin Creed games ensuring that decoration is objects and not environment, so you know the distinction.
October 29, 2025 at 11:25 PM
You're right on in that assessment, but while yellow paint is an answer it isn't -the- answer.

This is a problem that I believe was rising up in 2.5D platformers before we reached this level of fidelity causing this problem. And it's solved by art direction.
October 29, 2025 at 11:24 PM
But that has been my view for a long time. A populace doesn't become more conservative with age. We know the exact opposite to be true, that as one ages they become more entrenched in their beliefs and views.

It's that collaborators to power are lower on the list of targets for that power.
October 16, 2025 at 9:20 PM
I just also want to point out, it isn't just wealth.

If you are not conservative you are likely to engage in progressive rights movements, which give a higher likelihood of being targeted by the state, discriminated against by employers, or otherwise denied in ways leading to an earlier death.

So, which method of immortality did you end up finding? Asking for a friend.

You are simply stunning, plenty of love for this horse girl right here.
