welcome to the tonight show! i’m your host joe rogan (applause) president trump went golfing this week looking more healthy than ever (laughter) trump says he set a new course record (more laughter, rogan starts sweating) please… (sniper red dot appears on his forehead)

Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right

hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt. journalists too...

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

the problem isn't that these are BAD, it's that they're the blandest straightest sex games imaginable, on par with a "socially acceptable" playboy mag. NONE of this is at ANY risk for bans, unlike queer / furry / other "questionable content" people feared losing. why are people happy with this lol

This kind of framing from CBC is a great sign that the pressure is working!!! Keep calling and yelling at these payment processors!

it's crazy that you can be a writer for the new york times and not know who the current mayor of new york city is or the current budget of the NYPD, who despite a constant presence in the area failed to intercept a man walking around with a GIANT FUCKING LONG GUN

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

for those unfamiliar, this is a bit like if someone stated an AI takeover for the film industry is imminent and backed it up with "jurassic park included a fully cgi t-rex in 1993"

This will soon be the only way british people can view porn

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society. That's it. That's the post.

people in the replies being angry at itch over this is just, like, you have no politics, you have no capacity for solidarity, you have not even a frame of reference that approximates the real world, all you know is how to lash out at someone who's in reach of your anger

What a way to go out

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

video games make eleventy billion dollars a year but we can only have one website about them, and it’s owned by The Bastard Group

clip taken from the Other Place, from the recent Avemuji concert Yuzuki Watase going crazy hard. Really puts into perspective how absolutely cracked the Ave Mujica seiyuus are #AveMujica #BangDream

“American Cartoons don’t show beautifully animated food and slice of life cozy comforts the way Ghibli films do” Oh yeh?? Then explain THIS.

Just draw the fuckin thing yourself. The imperfection is part of the charm. The fact that you drew it is the whole fuckin point. Don't embarrass yourself engineering a prompt, just pick up whatever you have at hand and give it a go. Be a human being.

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.

This joke is agelessly impossibly old, but is the glue that holds every dev team together. It communicates the gallows humour and nihilism that has powered the development of every game you ever loved.

video game journalism is like 27 people right now. if you're still complaining about it you're no different to an 18th century farmer blaming vampires for an unremarkable crop yield

AI being the term applied to all machine learning/algorithmic output (like game ai) for the last however many decades is making it very hard to talk about the subject. lots of "ai" tools in action before '22 had task-oriented training and aren't the same as the massive generative models

Man, watching people speedrun their way to INNOVATIVE NINTENDO IS DEAD DEAD DEAD over a focused reveal video is just exhausting. I think it's OK to have some (fairly complicated) thoughts about how they've handled it so far, but christ, this thing's going to be around for the next decade, breathe.

Lots to improve on but not bad for starting to draw again during the holidays

This is why Vine was perfect the only thing you could do with six seconds was tightly written jokes

No one - absolutely no one on planet earth - is more frustrated by a game’s bugs than the people who made it One of the criticisms I’ve seen lately re: bugs is that devs just shrug and go “them’s the breaks.” no. We are little balls of rage, spite, and swallowed tears

look at the fucking quotes/replies on this and see how much these fucking libs hate not only sex workers, but women in general. and how many of them find every avenue to punch down at trans women too. these people are not allies to anyone but themselves.

im just going to say it: america needs a second year of luigi

Getting the pencil moving again (cause there's nothing going on at work till the end of the year)

My roommate has been listening to love is a battlefield on loop the entire day. Is that a cry for help?

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

The bojack horseman hate on twitter (like 5 years after the show ended?) is basically people who's media consumption make up their entire personality projecting that same attitude towards media onto everyone else

And a less expensive one
