It was my turn to experience the dystopian scarcity of computer parts due to #AI. I ordered a portable hard drive three weeks ago for $77. Today, my order was canceled by the company for 'lack of availability.' I clicked on the product listing and the price was now at $159. Fuck greedy corps!

Another fancy Greatsword skin that dropped for me during Raids. #GW2

Look at that! Competition is good for consumers after all. Go get 'em, Valve! #SteamOS www.xda-developers.com/steamos-scar...

Excited to #stream one of my Top 5 favorite games - Final Fantasy X. Be sure to check it out! #gaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TXT...

Why does it look like they all have jazz hands? And, yes, it's because of AI.

I might have a bit of a problem... I don't have enough Greatswords to fill all 20 slots. #GW2 #GuildWars2

Found a new greatsword skin to add to my collection. You can get it too! #GW2 #GuildWars2 youtu.be/qAk6pMaT8PI

End game material are difficult to come by, particularly amalgamated gemstones. It's important to know your avenues for getting them. #GW2 #GuildWars2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgCV...

I'm of two minds on the #ATLA leak. On the one hand, I'm never signing up for Paramount so I'll never get the chance to watch the movie. On the other hand, I understand the creators' anger at the leak and I want to honor their wishes by not watching. I can imagine how crushing this situation is.

And people tell us not to be alarmist about #AI coming for our jobs. The AI doesn't have to be good, just good enough for the bean counters. #Disney www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

Brain, ya gotta work with me here... #writing

Yes! Got the Retro-Forged Greatsword skin from a Super Loot bag! Now I can save those Bubble Baubles for something else... #GW2 #GuildWars2

Here is some beauty for the timeline, courtesy of the #SkagitValleyTulipFestival. #photography #blooms

First comment gets a nice smile and a thank you. Second comment makes me cackle maniacally because it means I did my job. #writing

#Youtube, what hell is this? That doesn't even look like Brendan Fraiser? Are we really resorting to generating #AI movie covers now?

Neat little thing. I did my best to try not to double up on games, but FFX did have a huge influence on the trajectory of my life and I do absolutely love the story. A bit of a spoiler for my FFXVI podcast. 😬#gaming grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

Repeating the same actions and expecting different results is a sign of madness. And yet, here we are. Amazon wants to adapt Mass Effect, so they're rewriting it for greater appeal - which is a coin toss if it will work - and pushing away its guaranteed audience. #gaming kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

It does make me feel better that I am qualified to troubleshoot for astronauts and can similarly commiserate about Microslop's Outlook.

This takes feline overlord to a whole new level. #GW2

Hah! Nice. #GW2

There may be good news on the horizon for PCs (and this is good news for affordable laptops). Still too early, but after doomsday fears that this scarcity could last for 2-4 years or so, this is a hopeful sign. www.ign.com/articles/ram...

Another game company that short changes itself using shitty, AI-generated art. What did people do before AI? Oh, that's right, ROYALTY-FREE IMAGES. And guess what? Most Royalty-free images are *gasp* free. www.polygon.com/crimson-dese...

You know the Charr means business when he breaks out his Cat Tower chair. #GW2

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

But I thought you wanted us to be good little consumers. Make up your mind! I already only get coffee once a month and it ain't at Starbucks. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Successfully completed the Chaos Crystal Cavern Jumping Puzzle! #GW2

It's missing "stare at the screen and wait for inspiration to strike." #writing #writers

The Snake is attempting make me stumble, but shall I keep the faith? In which the Snake and try to pull one over on the other. #streaming #gaming #TheTalosPrinciple www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzdW...

The encroachment of government surveillance continues under that innocent declaration of "Protect the Children." I recommend using the app 5 Calls to contact your Representatives and tell them to actually protect children by holding all the pedophiles' feet to the fire. thehill.com/policy/techn...

I feel like there needs to be more wailing and gnashing of teeth, but close enough. #writing

My Charr is a dragon now. #GW2

Am AI film called 'Thanksgiving Day' about a bear and his companion platypus traveling through the galaxy on a flying dumpster. Makes perfect sense. Do these AI Bros have zero sense of storytelling? futurism.com/artificial-i...

Gavin, this doesn't endear you to the public. I keep waffling back and forth on whether I'd support this weasel's presidential run (because we know that's what he's angling for), but he keeps pulling shit like this. #PC #computers www.pcgamer.com/software/ope...

I'm late to the party, but I love the way Janne Teller frames her argument. These AI Tech Bros are all about socializing the losses and privatizing the gains. We need to turn that back around on them. #AI #LLM www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eQI...

I'm at the point in the narrative where there could be a choice (which would be on theme) for whichever ending I prefer. Or, more likely, there's going to be a moment where the game forces me to rebel. Come check it out! #gaming #streaming www.youtube.com/live/EzpqC4I...

Very disappointed to hear about the Paramount Merger. Not that I think Netflix should've owned HBO (because they just wanted HBO not all of WB), but because now this administration has further control over a greater part of media. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Just by looking at #Pokemon Pokopia, I feel like I'd sink more time into that than even New Horizons. But Human Ditto may give me nightmares.

My main goal with my #GuildWars2 videos is to be helpful, whether it's showcasing achievable skins or offering tips. Now I get to add chest runs to the mix. Specifically a swift daily chest run. I hope you'll find it useful! youtu.be/jHcRKVkAuGs?...

#Discord screwed the pooch. Their word is mud and I'd say everyone should continue the Discord exodus: youtube.com/shorts/Lk4sI...

I can't take credit for this one because I saw it previously, but I felt the quality was lacking so I remade it. #memes #Dow

This may be my new favorite #meme trend.

Well, this is a punch to the gut! #ShadowoftheColossus is, of course, a phenomenal game and #Bluepoint did an equally phenomenal job of remaking it. Never played #DemonsSouls, but it looked incredible too. This is such a loss for #gaming.

It's a bit amazing that in the span of a week or two, so many new chat services are rushing to fill in the void. I haven't jumped ship yet because I want to make this jump only once. I just saw this posted in one of my #Discord groups. www.discordless.com

I had to stat change some of my ascended gear, so why not offer a brief guide? #GW2 #GuildWars2 youtu.be/gii7VIYUp8o

Behold! The fastest way to madness! #wordle sedecordlegame.org

Tonight, I'm going to continue #livestreaming #TheTalosPrinciple. We've gotten far enough into the story to be certain that it's a biblical allegory, but to what purpose? Why would humans program a simulation to follow the story of Adam & Eve with "robots?" #gaming www.youtube.com/live/oBrcxKV...

Embrace the void! There is no place better to contemplate the purpose of existence and perhaps somewhat regret embarking on this Obsidian Sanctum Jumping Puzzle. #GuildWars2 #GW2

I continue my adventures in #GW2 to acquire all the weapons from the Design a Weapon contest. Next up is Eclipse! Level up your #FashionWars game with some in-game achievable weapon skins! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwiI...

Looks like another business gets to learn the Tumblr lesson. Also, this addresses zero of the concerns people have with adults meeting children on discord. Adults shouldn't be allowed to just lurk in children's spaces unless they're 100% identified. #Discord www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...
