Peace Walker getting a PC release so others an experience it is great and all, but I care about more important things. Like the ability to mod Japan-only product placement back into the game. We will remove these borders, like The Boss originally wanted.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

I think all the time about how every tech company desperately tried to get us on board with crypto/NFTs in 2022, including all those Super Bowl ads. They wasted a bunch of energy, spewed a bunch of emissions, got vulnerable people hooked on pyramid schemes, and then just pretended it didn't happen?

why do they call it "going to medical school" and not "getting a meducation"

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

LINK, HE COME TO TOWN

Forgot that I never posted this pixel Freya I made back when wplace was the hot new topic. A recreation of the one official render she got, but otherwise done entirely by hand. #FreyaCrescent #FF9 #FFIX #FreyaVotedBestRat

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

you're not wrong but also, consider:

In the not-too-distant future, RiffTrax is making four new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000! Support us on Kickstarter: rifftraxmakesmst3k.com #RiffTraxMakesMST3K @mst3kofficial.bsky.social

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

I drew some of the little people who live inside my computer #Reboot

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Anyone else here on #booksky or #writesky or whatever the tag is find themselves constantly getting what are clearly AI-generated scam emails, but without the scam? Like they're absolutely trying to get something from me but don't include a phishing link or a shady paypal account. What's the goal?

From hell's heart I stab at th(r)ee, with my last breath I curse th(r)ee. Finishing up the #Halo trilogy retrospective with a game some have described as "creatively bankrupt" and "a death of ambition," something that truly feels like it doesn't want to be here. youtu.be/ZLyoN3SvfY0

My scheming vizier when I start to cough after taking a swig of wine from my goblet

Need to go to the store and get some talcum powder and vaseline. Not for any weird reason. I'm making a silicone mold. Not for any weird reason. I just need to make some legs. Not for any weird reason.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

The season 2 finale of Star Trek: Discovery. I was already not having a great time, and it just being a disastrous clusterfuck of explosions and angry screaming made me decide I didn't want to grit my teeth through it anymore. Everything it did is the opposite of why I want to watch Star Trek.

Todaybordeve is Decemberweeve! Gambol/gamble around the piano with your fam to play this holiday... classic?

why is it that every time I post a miniature I've painted, I make a typo? #minipainting #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

The final piece of my Gloomspite Gitz army, Trugg, the Troggoth King! He's big, he's ugly, and he's got a bit hammer, what more could you want? #minipainting #ageofsigmar #warhammer #gloomspitegitz #nerdlings

If you want to communicate your idea to an artist all you need is 30 seconds and the basic ability to grip a pen

Otter goes undercover….

this is a good battle to pick. the CEO mentioned using "AI" and got so much shit for it immediately that he's rattled and backpedaling. easy win there

I've been using @firefox.com for 19 years, ever since v2.0, and the reason for that is that I've always been able to trust that it would be a solid, flexible, lightweight web browser. The new guy just torpedoed that with a single bullet point. This sucks! Nobody but you wants the AI!

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I can't believe Unreal Tournament 2004 won Best Multiplayer Game at the game awards, 21 years after its release.

gonna start taking notes from A Fire Upon the Deep and call this whole hellsphere of AI/LLMs "The Altman Perversion"

i dont want to live in a world that values gambling apps and ai i want to live in a world that celebrates mustard and puppets

i finished playing final fantasy 9 for the first time recently! wonderful game

The most fun thing about making youtube videos is that someone will inevitably spend time writing a couple hundred words about how they absolutely were not paying attention to anything you were saying and decided to be mad about what they made up instead.

An even bigger trolls for my collection of big trolls! #minipainting #ageofsigmar #gloomspitegitz

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

That Metroid Prime 4 news has me worried youtu.be/V20hxOKn4Ik

Happy 25th anniversary to Final Fantasy IX, my favorite game of all time ❤️ Still chasing that high.

Reminder: If you use generative AI for *any of your writing tasks* you are a Slopper not a writer and should be ashamed of yourself. The end.

Another week, another reminder about these! Hey #booksky, I'm an #indieauthor who could really use a bit of a boost these days, help me out? 100% human-written, 50% human characters!

Seems like a good enough time to post this #Halo 2 video again, talking about the game that was almost really good if only it could have stopped slamming its face into multiple walls, seemingly on purpose. youtu.be/qT9hOmNykqU

The youtube algorithm is so cool because I can not upload anything for half a year and have 4-year-old videos pulling in 4k views a day but then I upload something and those same ones drop to 500.
