this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

A Pizza Hut franchisee is suing the company over forced AI integration, claiming that Pizza Hut's "Dragontail" AI system cost them $100 million. The AI delivery management system reportedly pushed the delivery time from under 30 minutes in most cases to over 45 much of the time. /1

The fact that both the Mandalorian & Grogu and Sheep Detectives being "dumb fun" movies that got higher RT scores than the Mario Galaxy movie says something about what key ingredient that movie is missing: Genuine heart.

It's really funny seeing people wanting the "It's just episodes of the show combined into one!" narrative to be true when Jon Favreau said on multiple occasions as recently as 3 days ago that he DIDN'T want to write the movie like that. But people need it to be true so they stuck with it. Lol

It's probably because of a misconception that Star Wars and the MCU appeals more to adults than kids due to their PG-13 ratings. Because of it, they expect more adult material from them that isn't watered down to appeal to kids, a.k.a. simple plots w/ black & white morality.

Online gaming discourse is so disconnected from reality. If you listen to Reddit and even a segment of YouTube, you would think Switch 2 is a failure. But Nintendo has 4 out of 10 best-selling titles for April in the US, and one of them is the $80 one.

And Nintendo fans will go, "But what about Metroid? We have to make it appeal to a mass audience to sell as well as Mario and Zelda so the series doesn't get shelved for good!"

Looking at you Digital Circus fandom…

The ads now explicitly say you have to outperform the plagiarism machines in order to deserve a job. Further down, there’s another ad that says “We find out what AI can’t do, then we teach it”. You have to be better than the system so you can teach it to replace you. Dystopian nightmare mask off

"This is a kids' game, and it's layering multiple currencies atop one another to obfuscate the cost of things, as well as using pop-ups, timer bars, and "buy" buttons to offer temporary boosts and, generally speaking, remove the game's in-built friction."

the tights are often seen in fanart to the point where it's weird to see how they weren't there before

Cause their parents are elitist jerks who refuse to pass Star Wars down to their children. If they can't like it, neither can the kids.

Casual reminder that Castlevania Symphony of The Night is STILL locked to Playstation and Xbox platforms. YES. In almost 30 years, one of the greatest and most important side-scrolling games ever made has NEVER been released on PC. Or Nintendo, for that matter. ...that should piss *everybody* off.

People who are into weird and fucked up impossible fictional kinks online, no matter how grossed out you are by them, are less dangerous and harmful to other people than the average Republican or the average Joe Rogan listener.

Those make Sniper's Jarate look drinkable in comparison.

Gonna be honest, the skimpy outfits from MK9 don't really appeal to me much. It feels like they're trying way too hard to look sexy, plus the lack of chest size diversity. Kit's swimsuit looks more tasteful in comparison.

im p sure these aint made for kids tbf they have done these sets fro other popular ips ik theres one for brooklyn nine nine

Give this person a watch or two. They know what they’re saying quite very well. Support human beings.

Horror explores trauma, grief, paranoia, violence, social issues, and the darker parts of humanity more honestly than many other genres do. "The People Under the Stairs" tackles racism, class exploitation, gentrification, abuse, and greed better than most prestige dramas, and it’s way more fun too.

In developed countries, only people over a certain age remember smog in cities

Astounding anyone can watch Democrats vote away trans rights in piecemeal - from healthcare to segregation to enshrining eugenicism to voting rights to *locking up parents of trans kids* - while doing ZERO messaging on a blatant attempt at trans genocide and go "wow they're doing great actually".

how the mighty fell

Third boss in a Zelda game be like

Gooseworx is going back in time to her first Glitch Productions meeting, to take The Amazing Digital Circus off the menu.

Better late than never I suppose, now when's MAHVEL?

always been very fond of the scrapped kirby super star copy abilities

The ghost of James McCloud telling me to use the Wiiu game pad is I think the funniest thing in any star fox game

A few people have been accusing me of using AI to make this art (they must be new here), so here’s some pics of my process: 1) rough sketching 2) inks 3) vectorizing 4) refining previous version

Boycott Barnes and Noble. Loudly. Right fucking now. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Whenever a post of mine breaks out of the usual furry circle it looks like this

Tale as old as time

The discourse over the review scores of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is especially baffling considering its right in line with the averages for recent Yoshi games. Right now its basically the highest rated of the modern Yoshi trilogy.

Star Fox 64 has some truly memorable dialogue, but nothing beats the Lylat Wars UK localisation if you ask me.

Soooo "jobs" only matter when it's about keeping the working class in check?

Highkey seeing fandom horsehoe theory in real time. Seeing people who 9 years ago defended The Last Jedi and Rian Johnson against toxic fandom and fake narratives from people who couldn't accept not liking something now spend time making up fake narratives and crying about The Mandalorian.

The California Senate has passed the No Robo Bosses Act, which prohibits employers from using AI for automated decision systems in firing or disciplining their workers.

So in the wake of Google's full AI embrace on the search end, they've allowed Gemini to create Shorts from other people's videos, both horizontal and vertical. Here's how to disallow your videos from being used for it (for now) #YouTube #VSky #FuckAI www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3c8...

Birds of the world unite!! Poop on all kings!!

He's the merc with the mouth after all 👀👀👀

That's a whole lot of Creature from the Black Lagoon remake drafts. 😧

"Hello yes can we put bouncing titties on every interface button?"

Seeing some comments here and I need to say this This is NOT a discussion about erotic content It's about the belief women are not interesting unless they are giving sexual pleasure to men (since young boys are the target audience of WSJ)

They publish such illuminating and compelling articles, @biographic.bsky.social does. A gem amidst a World Wide Web increasingly glutted with AI rubbish and Instagram fantasy.

I've also come to terms that "slop" is no longer a negative term for "thing I don't like" and instead a Gen Z slang for "genre," like "rizz" for "charisma," because it's being used more ironically recently on things they do like.
