can't imagine having so little spine as to spend extraordinary effort convincing everyone you're a great gamer by paying players to run your account and lying about it and hosting all sorts of gaming streams where you look like the noob you are, only to later come out and say "yeah I paid for it"

Sir, we were not asking for an apology, we were mocking you and pointing out how you are incapable of accomplishing anything on your own. www.pcgamer.com/games/elon-m...

Metroid Prime 4 is a thought provoking but cautionary tale about building any society around "science and a thirst for knowledge", instead of "women with arm cannons".

What do I put in all my writing simply because I love them? 1. Women

Say Goose, what do you think a superhero would look like in the real world? Probably a supervillain tbh.

It sucks when a a guy scams a bunch of people and a horde of jerks more ignore him so they can spout victim blaming all over the place based on petty grudges. Absolute pathetic loser behavior.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

"You have to pick exactly one thing to talk about. Don't call out bad things cause there are other bad things" is such a stupid tactic. This is social media you don't have to only post about the #1 worst thing in the world you can not buy any game you want. Saying "This sucks" doesn't take 8 hours.

so this confirms everything people speculated, and makes him sound worse because he admits it's not helping, provides no benefit over regular whiteboxing or reference photos, but he still insists it's somehow crucial to use it because what if someone else benefits from it first. CEO brain.

AI is a prefect machine for an IP world because it entirely removes the need for pesky human artistic endeavor and interpretation and makes the creation of any new ideas literally technologically impossible: it only ever reframes, remakes or remixes the already created

I got a review once that said "5 stars minus one for pear hate. Pears are good." If I had to guess, I'd say that one got me more traction and sales than many more detailed reviews. You don't need a huge time investment to help an indie author

Someone should write a book about this

lubna is a palestinian mother desperate to feed and shelter her children in the midst of ongoing genocide and worsening weather conditions. if you have anything to share, please help! chuffed.org/project/1552...

Outlining a cyberpunk is hard when the real world keeps outdoing the exagerated evils I come up with. If I do anything half as evil as a real world villain, my antagonists will be called mustache-twirlingly evil.

"All stories are for self insert wish fulfilment. Never have any side characters you wouldn't want to spend time with. Don't introduce any allies who wouldn't sleep with the lead." Writing advice from a very confident man who had never written anything.

I add to this that one of them must be near the end. That way I have something I am actively looking forward to for the entire series.

Me when no one wants to talk to me and rapidly finds an excuse to leave conversations with me: "I really need a faster way to size people up before inflicting myself on them"

Found myself added to a blocklist by a guy who is himself on 800 blocklists. The spite behind adding me to his became decidedly amusing once I realized this, lol

Yeah Steam should really follow Sweeney's advice. That's why everyone always buys epic gamestore keys, looks forward to epic game store sales, and has ever played a game from the epic games store.

They should invent a way to not be tired

This is why being "nuanced" about OpenAI and LLMs is useless. They are engaged in a propaganda campaign to muddy the waters and disinform people. They want you to think "oh, maybe in this special case, oh maybe under these circumstances".

If you are mad about a basic word like "USian" which has an accurate definition you completely agree with, everyone knows you are mad about the implication that clarification is necessary.

There is not such thing as a too cartoonish villain.

Friends initiate conversations. Friends speak of their own volition. Friends have their own interests and passions they want your input on. When someone says an AI treats them as a 'friend', it is because they treat their friends like appliances. Or they would notice the difference.

“It's both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects" was such a simple message that was so thoroughly and viciously rejected, but i think many of you still need to learn it

There is a beautiful irony in this. Actual artistic expression being such an astonishingly bad vulnerability for the slop art generator
