This is about the portions I like. If the food is good quality, I'd rather have smaller portions of great food (not saying this is great quality) than two pounds of garbage for $15. I don't like eating out because I'm always bringing home leftovers I never end up eating.

A friend of mine is fairly conservative and has a wife who is from Israel (yes, she joined the IDF as a part of mandatory service). I'm still friends with him. I've known him for over a decade. I'm not above losing a friendship over Israel and its genocide if the topic is brought up.

Minecraft fanatics are hating on Hytale for the dumbest things. The models "look too realistic for a block game" is my favorite. Sorry that they went with actually looking like animals and not just animal textures on a square. They look AND act better, too. Minecraft was barren at launch, too.

You don't have to understand transgender as it's a fairly complicated nuance for many people. But what isn't difficult is letting people live their lives without being marginalized (further). If you are anti-trans, that means you are going out of your way to be a shitty person.

Do not fear ICE. That's what they want. Make THEM fear YOU, the people. Fear is how dictators conquer. Also, religion is based around fearmongering. Funny how that is.

Not only is Spotify scummy, and always has been, but runs ICE recruitment ads. Use Band Camp or an alternative. They exist.

"I used AI to-" Then you aren't an artist. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a writer. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a coder. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a game dev. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a poet. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a filmmaker. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a teacher.

Put it on his tombstone. Big, bold letters.

If you sympathize with ICE even a little, or pull centrist bullshit around me, we are no longer friends.

The left celebrated the death (NOT the murdering) of Charlie Kirk, a known bigot, racist, and transphobe, and the right called them pro violence. ICE shoots an innocent woman 3 times in the head and the right DEFEND the shooter and call the murdered woman a domestic terrorist. Fucking hypocrites.

Fuck ICE and fuck every maladjusted loser freak that supports them. Just admit you're filled with hate and seek help instead of killing and brutalizing people who have done nothing to you but exist.

"Why don't you like Epic Games?" I dunno... just reasons.

Dear algorithm: just because I want to see Pokemon porn does not mean I want to watch a thousand clips of the shitty video games and Nintendo fans shilling for them. And show me more goodra.

Report this murderer. It violates GoFundMe TOS. And after that bitch that called a child the N-word got 70k, this stuff is unacceptable.

gofund.me/13ecdd965 Fuck ICE. Donate if you can to support the family in this unjustified, illegal MURDER.

“i can’t leave twitter, i need it, it’s where my audience is”

If you look at movies and TV and even society 10 years ago, we've come a long way with how we portray gay people, trans people, and other things. We look back at cringe how we used to look at things back then. But then we have people that look at the bible and the Constitution...

Good. I don't care how little gen AI is used. I don't care if it's just for placeholders that later get replaced or just for references or concept art. Gen AI doesn't belong in ANY form of entertainment or creative space. You can make your game great without it.

Being woke is cool.

Fuck this bitch and her books full of horrible stereotypes and racism.

I get attached to friends easily. It sucks when you make friends and enjoy being around them and they suddenly stop logging in, stop hanging out. I'm not saying they should spend every minute with me, it just sucks when people you enjoy being around... vanish... and sometimes don't return.

Yip (derogatory)

Wiping with one ply feels like you're cleaning your ass with a ghost.

I retired Runescape back in 2017 and WoW in 2023. Housing is cool and all, but if WoW is so good, why am I unretiring from a game where I'm hitting rocks for several hours?

The new Metroid locking MUSIC on the bike to a special Amiibo is exactly the kind of "what the fuck are you thinking" Nintendo decision that I'm boycotting. Nintendo is not your friend. Hold them accountable.

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over. They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

It has never been more urgent than this, US folks. Call your reps NOW and lay it all down. We cannot let them take this all away from us.

Tired of the "Well if you boycott Facebook because they steal your information you may as well live off-grid" argument. You can actively choose not to support Zuck face by not buying a Quest Pro and buy an alternative. I don't care if you're a furry Vtuber that needs it for your job.

This is why we should be against using ANY generative AI for voices in video games like Arc Raiders, The Finals, or Jump Space. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. And it only gets worse and normalized. Pay actors to do your voices. It's not that fucking hard.

The USA is against nuclear more than solar and wind, despite being THE cleanest, safest form of energy. But because of that one event that one time now it's dangerous and we should only use LNG and coal. But putting miniature versions in their aircraft carriers is perfectly fine though.

Action rogue-like where you play as a fox named Aryx. Colorful, guns...? ...and it uses AI. Ignored. I'm SO tired that more and more games (indie AND triple Ass) are resulting to AI.

Black Ops 7 has a REALLY dumb campaign with some horrible animations and writing. Calling cards are done with Ghibli style AI, and they use AI assets. They HAVE the money and resources to not use AI. This is why it's a plague. It encourages lazy development. Fuck Activision.

I wish Steam would just ban games that use AI. Give them a few months to develop assets, dub voices, etc that use AI and if they don't comply after X months, deplatform their game. Keep (generative) AI out of video games.

Call of Duty, A game that costs hundreds of millions of dollars to make and still manages to skimp on costs by using AI for assets. They managed to make an even more broken game. Fuck generative AI. Activision is allowing laziness and broken games to be the new standard. Also, full price game.

Normalizing AI the same way companies normalized loot boxes. If we don't HEAVILY push against it and constantly talk about it, it will get normalized. I don't care if I'm annoying about it. I will say "I did not buy this because it has AI voice acting".

NO generative AI, under any circumstances, is ethical. VAs will throw other VAs under the bus, including during the SAG-AFTRA strike and against trans people. Just because a few select VAs agree to this GenAI clause does not mean it's a good thing. Fuck off with this Gen AI shit.

Not to be horny on main (I don't apologize), but have you seen kangaroos?

Imagine taking a port from a game around two decades old, porting it to Steam with all the bugs that happen to every port, and making it overpriced. And then after a Steam sale, raising the price unannounced by $25. No, they did not fix any of the bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/1889930/...

People are defending this as "Umm, actually, they use it like TTS!" If they need to be vague and cherry pick, it's not ethical. Pay voice actors, every time. Use fucking voice modulation if you want to have this same "TTS" style sound. You cannot sway me on this shit because it's scummy.

Do you think Jack Black looks back at what he did to Kyle Gass and reflects that maybe what Kyle Gass said wasn't exactly outlandish? Probably too busy taking every role from everyone in movies to care.

i think it's good actually that a videogame prominently featuring AI voice acting is finding success while my VA friends haven't found steady work in years and have their rates forcibly ground into dust over the few reliable gigs left but hey the game is really fun right!!!!!!!

Arc Raiders uses AI to create text-to-speech so "they don't need a VA for every time they add a new item". Here's a thought: Just pay a VA. They are more than willing to return to say items, and VAs more than ever need that work. Just fucking hire people. Oh my god. You lazy pricks.

I'm tired of this Hasan dog collar thing. He proved on stream multiple times that he did not shock his dog but all of his haters managed to suck in so many people that I'm hearing this stupid "shocked his dog" thing in even non-political spaces. It's fucking infuriating when people fall for this.

Escape From Duckov is a very serious game. It's also really fun...

I'm not saying you can't enjoy Pokemon. But I will not stand for people shilling for Pokemon and saying it's great and that Game Freak is getting too much flak for quality, or there's not enough budget. It cost 13 million dollars to make. My fucking ass they couldn't make a great game with that.

Rarely are $70 games worth the cost these days. I would rather buy FOUR indie titles for the same cost as one Triple ASS game. Monster Hunter is still fun but the issues it has, the changes to the story, and the MTX makes it my least MH in the entire series. It's pathetic. Support indie titles.

Rime Jockey? Fellowship is fun, if a bit toxic at time.

I think a kobold just tried to sell me his stash.
