Getting kicked off the Team Cherry QA tester team because I keep repeating my “this game is FULL of bugs” joke

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

it weighs as it should. #xivart #ffxivart #ffxiv #fenart

stupid

It's travel season! Pack canarily.

[Shouting at the Colosseum] You are a terrible building, and they never should have built you!

Once again, we were not nominated for an Emmy due to not being a TV show.

May all our summers be so joyful.

In regards to hot dog sentience, the bun acts as the exoskeleton with the consciousness in the meat itself. It's the pairing of the two that creates the complete sentient hot dog. This was the first thing they taught us at America orientation. Not sure how so many of you missed that.

air groove this is so bad ok we still have time to get it replaced before the g1 pls air groove pls I didn't get you to 3 stars for this

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Careful reminder to not let the new Pope get close to the dragon eyes

Pope Leo XIV is expected to have a poor initial reception, but will become much more popular when he rebrands as Leo XIV A Pontiff Reborn.

I keep seeing Canadians asking why Americans aren’t taking Trump’s threats seriously, and the answer is not really Trump related, in my opinion. I think it’s because Americans have an intense historical amnesia to international happenings that has been deeply cultivated in our society.

Im seeing endless workshops on "how to use AI/incorporate AI in the classroom" etc, does anyone know of workshops on how to refuse AI? Not even be critical of AI (which is often just one or two slides of handwaving-but-it-is-here) but to refuse it in the classroom and in our research?

We thought having fewer characters this time would make things easier... turns out, we were wrong lol Here’s a little sneak peek into our code for today! 👀💻 #vndev #VisualNovel #NaNoRenO2025

If Civ 7 came out in 2013 Machiavelli would be a Tumblr thirst trap and no I am not explaining

1. Today, the New York Times Editorial Board published a piece titled "Trump's Shameful Campaign Against Transgender Americans." I criticize the paper's attempt to wash away the paper's own culpability in ushering in an era of eradication-based policies. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

We have scientific proof that money makes people less empathic. So I guess having billions turning you into a complete sociopath makes perfect sense.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Honestly? I'd wish we didn't have a gender marker on our passport, like just remove it at this point. Not only is it not necessary, it's already a better form of personal privacy than having to deal with possible problems for having the wrong gender marker.

when people say “no politics” in a funny video games server it gets complicated because what is your definition of politics? sure we don’t want to talk real world stress in our fantasy, especially now more than ever, but a lot of these spaces use this rule to ban minority members from speaking up

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!

Leftists who don’t care about the war on porn should look closer. Obscenity laws are the first step in banning ALL “degenerate” art. They are already saying that drag queens and trans people are sex predators. That queer books are porn. They are priming the people to lump it all together!!

the chinese netizens have put america in the ground

5 tongue-in-cheek game writing exercises that are a more realistic representation of what most game writers do (in my experience) than a branching dialog tree:

now is the time to call your Senators, again, and ask them not to vote for this horrifying attack on trans people Republicans need seven Dem votes to get this through the Senate - they got TWO in the House, which has many more members they can block this, and they must

Just because we made the game does not stop me from making fan-edits.

This is a really great piece that expertly articulates and critiques the perverse moral logic of the social justice oriented Urban Tough Guys who have bottomless empathy for people engaged in antisocial behavior and nothing but contempt for people who feel unsafe on transit.

I think this is what a lot of non-creative people don't get about art. That it's *not* a process that can be optimised for maximum efficiency - the milling around and trying things and scrapping them and building on the core of a good idea those less good ideas had *is* the process.

My brother has been a wildfire fighter for 10+ years. His top safety advice to me has always been to be the first one on the road. It's doubly true with 0% containment and LA traffic. If you're thinking of evacuating, and your gut is telling you that you'll need to, don't wait for the order. Leave.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

I hope everyone finds a bit of magic this year. ✨

"Whaddo I do...I've been carted off to Thirteenuary 2025"

accidently busted out a good ryzar doodle while I was blocking out panel and this is proof or I will die cuz idk how I did that #Ryzartz #ArtfulMusings

A not-gentle reminder in the New Year: If the only way you can talk up your favorite TTRPG to a newcomer is by trashing a different system, then you're not a serious advocate for the game you like. Accept this, and do better.

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form. It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

I rushed this kinda so I can record a timelapse and then I forgot how to upload on youtube lmao. enjoy I guess imma bye (timelapse on reply it havent finished uploading) #Ryzartz

Santa Lucien Lunaris for the holidays, it seems he'll be a once a year occurrence sadly. #vtuber #lunography
