Nope, there's no middle ground here. And it's CEO in the article, so you my friend can handle earning a bit less to pay employees and artists.

Spread the word about the oncoming threat of censorship of NSFW and kink/fetish creatives. You may be the next one censored if you're unlucky. Likes and rebleets appreciated, if you want to. #art #politicalart #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros #cartoon

Strictly speaking "pedophilia" is a psychological term for a psychiatric disorder characterized by EXCLUSIVE attraction to pre-pubescent children. It's a sexual orientation disorder, which means it's a "deformed" sexual orientation, if you will (so no, this is not saying it's a proper orientation).

People tend to use the term "social media" in a way that's usually targeted at specific sites, when it actually has a much broader definition. It can even be considered to refer to most of web 2.0. Even using more conservative definitions; Discord is social media, YouTube is social media, Twitch is

Never equated amount of income to self-worth, in either direction (so someone saying "you're better than rich people because you're not rich" is really fuckin weird), just the existence of an income itself.

Ever have a moment where you realize something you can do is, in fact, a skill, and others actually have a harder time with it than you do?

AI Bros bribing and threatening everyone to use gen AI: "Look how successful and popular this is!"

There's two Pokemon history ideas I want to see in Legends games: 1. A sort of Heian period Johto or something when it's at its peak (ala Kyoto) that's before the invention of poke balls, and so catching Pokemon follows a more SMT-style convincing them to join you. Possibly have some sort of...

I don't have fibromyalgia, just interesting to see medical research progress.

Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint' 'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.' www.medicalrepublic.com.au/fibromyalgia...

Inability to separate thematic darkness from visual darkness is a long standing issue with, in my experience, gamers. Diablo 3 illustrated a particular example of that, where living in the coming of the literal apocalypse wasn't very dark because of a somewhat more colourful visual style.

Fun fact: electric eels are not, in fact, eels at all. They're actually knifefish.

Populism breeds... well, insanity honestly. Kind of goes beyond stupidity. In left-wing versions it breeds it in otherwise sensible and caring people too, whose hearts are usually in the right place, but it sends their brains off to the far reaches of who knows where. And then makes you wonder...

Let's sweep together.

Another thing I dislike with Group Loot in World of Warcraft: some eligible people don't fucking roll at all, or they wait and try to snipe, and you just wait out the clock. It's garbage. I don't know what about this is possibly better than Personal.

Kinda just want to forget about Amphoreus.

Like, it was something like "my least/most woke opinion", how about instead of celebrating how extreme or not extreme you can be, you celebrate being rational and level-headed? Or is that asking too much and blind hatred is the only thing people know how to do anymore?

So much of the "I hate rich people" is childish and immature. There's validity to it, to a degree, but I see far too much of people just parroting things or just being extremely shallow with it.

I mean... technically yes, but that's beside the point.

I hwonder hwat's for dinner.

Part of me wants to try to see how easy it could be to get rightists to freak out about "woke" by deliberately creating a fake outrage. Try to point them towards one of their own things too.

"The news already knew about the epstein stuff but ignored it to attack trans people" huh? Is there evidence that the news knew about the currently released stuff already? Or are we just making shit up again? American news outlets have been awful since 2024 already, do we need to make shit up?

So it looks like the major thing to not bother with from hoyo is a game called "Genesis", because that seems to be the AI focus, though it's not out yet.

Poilievre is 46 and just as bad as trump. I want people (Americans, in particular) to be aware of this. The "younger politicians are better/liberal" perception is pure fallacy. This can be true, but it can just as easily be false.

Couple things: 1. No that's not true, I know Blizzard isn't, though I only follow the WoW team closely, but they've been very clear about not using Gen AI. 2. As someone in the replies points out, this article is clickbait as fuck and a bit convoluted in messaging, because Nexon CEO in question...

Although I did see the word "fascist" thrown around with regards to the IOC's decision, and that's not really a relevant word since this is an international NPO and explicitly non-governmental, so it can't be fascist anymore than SAG-AFTRA can have a monopoly. I'd rather we not validate throwing...

So make sure to direct all manner of outrage and fury at the Olympics. It's probably petition time. Because the IOC's decision is disgusting and baseless as current research on the topic, although minimal, does not indicate transwomen in women's sports have an unfair advantage and bans aren't...

Mhm, it's important NOT to assume this, because it's provably wrong in many cases. People just need to admit they're being cheap honestly. If I see AI disclosure on a Steam page, it's an immediate pass.

The solution to an offensive Light caster in World of Warcraft, that I really want, would I guess simply be a fourth spec for Priest that's a second DPS spec. Exorcism or something. I think it offers a chance for different gameplay, somehow an inversion of Shadow.

It sucks that you can't really get Chicago deep dish pizza outside of, well, Chicago. Get the occasional place, and of course you can make it yourself, but maaan. And lol I ain't goin to the USA anytime soon.

I hate that I got drawn into political talk on here, but there's so many bad takes on here. The internet is truly nuance and detail impaired. But, like I said, it's fortunate that most voters don't seem to pay attention to this kind of irrational discourse, just their own irrationality.

And another fact to drop on you: the Democrat Party is, in fact, a left-wing party. The official positions of the majority of the party is pro-LGBT+, BIPOC lives matter, anti-wealthy, etc. They are not a centre party or a conservative party. Some members have proven that they are more centre...

It's not "Democrats", it's: Catherine Cortez Masto, Dick Durbin, John Fetterman, Maggie Hassan, Tim Kaine, Angus King, Jacky Rosen, and Jeanne Shaheen. These eight specific senators are cowards and losers, focus on them, not the party as a whole. They went AGAINST the overall party position.

So did Xal'atath really "kill" Locus-Walker, as such? Because to me it rather looked like she possessed him and is using him as a vessel while she remains trapped within the Dark Heart.

Petit Planet uses a Gen AI chatbot, hm. Wasn't interested in that one anyways, now definitely not.

Ah, I see what this is about. And, as usual, rhetoric surrounding this folding focuses on "Democrats" rather than specifically the eight who're folding. It's the entire Democrat Party's fault that 8 specific senators are getting weak in the knees. So focus on those 8 instead of a generalization.

People hyperfocusing on stupid details with Pokemon obscures more general issues that have been long running, and that actually slightly matter. Namely here is that Pokemon traded to you by NPCs have the same naming restrictions as with real people, and that's always annoyed me.

Twisted Wonderland anime, I'm... not digging the Lilia voice as far as pitch goes. Too deep for that face. Though he doesn't really talk much in episode 1 so I dunno. I'm very fussy with cute anime boy voices. Like Riddle though. He's very angry.

Seven black rats, that's a lot of rats.

Safe Engagement Training in the Genshin event is ass. That's all. Basically the kinda thing where they should give you loaner teams, but they don't. The combat challenges are hit or miss as a general rule anyways.

@protonjon.bsky.social Also happy birthday! Got so distracted by Jyggy's misadventures that I didn't fully soak in the actual message from it.

Do YOU🫵have the time ⏲️to listen 👂to me whine?

Ah yes, it's November, so Your Horoscope for Today. Scorpio: Get ready for an unexpected trip when you fall screaming from an open window. Work a little bit harder at improving your low self-esteem, you stupid freak.

I do love the creature collector genre as a whole tbh. Wish I had the time to do all of them. I played Nexomon 2 (before 1, which makes me not want to play 1 cause it feels backwards), played Puzzle & Dragons, Yo-kai Watch, Demikids, Cassette Beasts, Pokemon Reborn (fan game, but still).

And, if you need it to be a conspiracy, then what if the people urging "turning against the Democrat establishment" are, in fact, trump operatives working to sow division? What if you've bought propaganda hook, line and sinker? I know "Sleepy Joe" was a trump-originating phrase that somehow spread..

"Democrats should've just given us exactly what we want if they wanted to win in 2024". Right, so rather than accept what you view as a compromise (it's not, but let's say it is), you'd rather just hand the country over to a dictator? That's you being entitled and having a tantrum, not on the Dems.

Pokemon was inspired partly by bug catching, a common pastime for kids in Japan that became less possible to do as urbanization took hold. And Final Fantasy Legend and Megami Tensei inspired the framework of course.

Oh right! And I've been watching Digimon 2020 and heard Gomamon's English vice and was reminded of something. So I offer a shout out to @bendiskin.bsky.social and tell people to go watch www.youtube.com/@ZozoZombie/... if you want to hear him make zombie noises.

I'll tell you one good thing to come out of Genshin's voice acting... everything, find some really good combos of VAs. CyYu and Zeno Robinson for example, I would totally watch some sort of buddy anime or animation with them in the starring roles. And Wimpy Kid guy as Tighnari is an unexpected...
