Megan Aldrich, 34, booked a seat in the quiet carriage for her morning commute in the hope of preventing a severe case of sensory overload. However, she quickly learned that “quiet carriage” was just a sort of feeble suggestion train companies like to make, as opposed to an enforceable law.

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

Dramatic scenes at BBC Breakfast.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Some people prepare a little more than necessary for their d&d campaign, and then there's me, slowly creating a fictional in-universe version of Warhammer 40,000 (Allhammer 50,000) for my Exandrian campaign.

I was asked to talk about DLSS5, but then I got angry about DLSS5, and so that's what in this @kotaku.com article. kotaku.com/we-spoke-to-...

I just backed Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/reb...

Clicked "Recently Released" on the @xbox.com store on my Series X since the new Greedfall came out today, instead was greeted with pages upon pages of AI Slop, shovelware, and duplicate listings clogging up the page. How is this a good store experience?

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

"Why'd you only call me when you're high" except it's a song about this guy:

There's also the fact that Rowling has been fairly explicit that the money she earns through Harry Potter she's putting into anti-trans lobbying efforts. There's a difference, IMHO, between an artist with a shitty private life, and an artist using their money to fund regressive social change.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

I spent all morning out playing Pokémon Go but got stuck on a task that required opening gifts, and now i'm home I finished that task but now need a Mega Raid 🫠

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

The measures, which are reportedly as infeasible to implement as they are gratuitously evil, will attempt to use NHS files to find out who’s been skiving off of work while using “no longer walking this mortal plane” as an excuse.

Last night I went into one of my campaign plan documents for a whole different reason, found a short story that'd be a prelude to the upcoming plot arc, that was planned to happen off screen, but since the players decided to visit Port Zoon, I can have them there for this scene instead!

I hate that She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is leaving netflix this week, I just finished the series and it was absolutely wonderful.

HAL JORDAN: In brightest day, in blackest BEASTIE BOYS: NIGHT! HAL JORDAN: No evil shall escape my BEASTIE BOYS: SIGHT! HAL JORDAN: This is awkward because when I invited you I thought I was messaging Beast Boy from the Teen Titans.

Me seeing a Mini speed past overtaking everyone on the motorway: "Looks like someone was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"

Tempted to make it a new years resolution to see how many of the Final Fantasy games I can play through. Already beat 6 and 16 last year and I own a majority of the rest already so it's doable

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Found a collectable in Anthem right next to a door that respawns every time I enter and exit said door, with only 11 days until the servers shut down, I may be abusing this slightly..

My D&D group are planning a one-shot "Oops All Lucy" after the party met a couple of copies of the player character Lucy, my one shot character has Mask of Many Faces and a +10 to Deception, I can't wait to convince the other Lucys that "Pumat Sol" has joined the party.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

I had to replace my laptop the other day and looked on amazon to see what was out there (ultimately bought one from Currys), but all week amazon have been emailing me "we found something you might like" as if i'm now a laptop collecting fiend.

#MSGDeltaSweepstakes But also #MGSDeltaSweepstakes as I think there's a typo there 😅

I need to complete one more challenge with a grenade launcher in Anthem to get an achievement, except this one type of grenade launcher just isn't dropping in game 🥲

I think its a crime that the Game Awards has only one winner in the Best Performance category, I think that both Ben Starr and Jennifer English should jointly win for Expedition 33

Building a combat encounters for my players where most of the enemies are balanced, but then one is going to use this 3hp statblock and I can't wait to see how that goes.

👍

New awareness campaign

Since the current one is being stripped of his titles, I think we should have a reality tv show "Who wants to be the Duke of York?" Where twelve contestants must compete in a variety of knightly challenges with the victor being granted the title and all the benefits it gives.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Writing overpowered god granted abilities for a d&d campaign with the idea that one player will roll high enough, but also knowing that they'll all potentially hit the maximum dc and all of them will have these incredibly OP one time use abilities.

I had to call for breakdown cover this morning after a fault i'd had checked out twice returned once more, it turned out to be the engine needing oil and like, it was the first thing the RAC man checked, surely that garage should've checked that?

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏 I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

I need websites to understand that i actively despise when i view something and then they email me about it a few hours later

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this; most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue! well, we do. so fuck off.

This came across my feed this morning, and I may have a go at some writing using aspects of my d&d campaign as insparation (The Forge of Arcanum is hidden in space and there's a lot of sci-fi influences there)

I don't want to repost the awful stuff in that Chat GPT suicide case. But I will say that Chat GPT should be destroyed, financially and legally. The data centers should be disassembled and recycled. Sam Altman should go to prison.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

I want to fight whoever decides what youtube features are disabled on "made for kids" labelled videos, what do you mean I can't add this to my watch later playlist?
