With Fire Red and Leaf Green on Switch now, there’s probably people playing Pokémon who have never played a classic 2D Pokémon game before, so just some advice: remember that holding down and B when throwing a Pokéball will help increase the odds of catching the Pokémon

HI EVERYONE! ME AGAIN SO TURNS OUT BLUESKY DROPPED A MANDATORY AGE VERIFICATION ON MY MAIN ACCOUNT THAT WHEN I TRY TO COMPLETE DOES THIS BECAUSE THIS SITE IS NON-FUNCTIONAL AND BAD SO GUESS I'M POSTING ON HERE UNTIL THAT'S FIXED!! I DETEST THIS SITE!!!

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright. (Link: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...)

I am overjoyed to see that this picture is still exactly where I left it on the internet and nobody has noticed.

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you: you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

Fell Cleveland

I don't even play Pokemon.

horrors beyond your comprehension with a side of fries served daily

More democrats lining up to embarrass themselves by saying that the pointless murder of children simply needs to go though the proper channels

average person cheering for war in iran

who could have seen AI become weaponized by a corrupt government, except for literally everyone, as well as decades of science fiction

Republicans: “We just helped Israel kill a bunch of children.” Democrats. “Get 👏Our 👏 Permission 👏 First!”

They’re literally defending the presidents ability to unilaterally declare war and kill children because they’ve been rock hard for this specific fight for decades They’re as monstrous and as responsible as the Republicans if they won’t fight this.

I am not sure I can put into words how much the past twenty four months has radicalized me against democrats

Nights like these are why I say I have no hope for the future to my Therapist.

fell for it again award

How I wept tonight. “We can endure this, & be a guiding light through it, but only by recentering, by teaching citizens, not workers; power, not PowerPoint; aspiration, not apocalypse. Despair is how we lose. The classroom is where we battle it. All other battles flow from here.”

@gigaboots.com apes will escape

Holy shit

"we translated segagaga via chatgpt" has to be one of the largest cases of "completely and utterly failed to understand the meaning and message of the source material", which. yeah i guess that makes sense.

"I ain't got time to exposit I've got fish to catch."

Really tired of seeing shitty people get second and third chances when there’s a long ass line of people who haven’t been given a first

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.

Regardless of what you think of AI, Anthropic has more morals, integrity, and honor than any of the universities and hospitals who stabbed the trans community in the back at Trump's behest.

“Don’t worry we spent a lot of time maybe fixing the slop that the plagiarism machine spat out while it killed the environment and destroyed the consumer electronics market!”

If you wanna be radicalized against GenAI, try running an online business while these thieving shitbricks try to scrape your site at all hours of the day, creating a looping, endless DDoS. Fuck generative "AI." It's all slop built on wholesale theft.

Not only is the Tsukihime Trial Edition one of the most famous visual novel relics, it served as the progenitor of a series that catapulted Type-Moon to become the company it is today, inspiring so many creators. A tremendous loss to see one of very few copies left destroyed. x.com/i/status/202...

It really sucks to have really fucking good pattern recognition because I tell my therapist stuff like "yeah they keep taking away people's ability to effect social change through non-violent means" and then that happens and I just sort of look to the camera like Jim from The Office.

My trans friends are cool. Trans people are cool! Trans lives are human lives!! They deserve to live happily and authentically, without bullshit heaped onto them day in and day out; to be defended by lawmakers who actually represent them; to be treated with actual dignity and respect.

They are testing the absolute limits of our desire for a civil society. When people have to defend themselves and their livelihoods, it will be painted as extremist and the people oppressed as inherently violent. It’s just victim blaming, they systemically removed all civil methods of self-defense.

I'd be such a lesser, worse person with so much less joy in my life without the trans people I know. The fact there are people so miserable and pathetic they cannot abide others living their lives in a way that makes them happy is pitiful. We truly cannot heap enough scorn on transphobes.

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

Went though some old gallery photos I need this printed and framed

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

A Dem that runs as pro trans gets a SIXTY ONE POINT BUMP WITH DEM VOTERS and a NINE POINT BUMP WITH INDIES over ones that go silent. The failure to get this is a prior beliefs/incentives problem but it's also a research problem. The current establishment's understanding of voters is utterly cooked.

Anthropic really is the Rising of Shield Hero of GenAI Companies.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

It's late again but let's do more Super Robot Wars Y! I've got even more DLC to do let's go!!!! www.twitch.tv/cevian

All the KH games are Mainline games.

I keep being vindicated about everything I said about Hoyo. I have to say it yet again, but the striking VAs deserve an apology. They were right about everything. The toxic Hoyo community was wrong about everything.

So once again what I'm hearing is the striking voice actors were right and everyone telling them they were overreacting owes them one hell of an apology.

@littlekuriboh.bsky.social Since I know you've been boosting GenAI news related to Genshin games, it was just discovered that they added a clause to their Privacy Policy that allows them to train an AI using your voice if you use in game voice chat. genshin.hoyoverse.com/en/company/p...
