The cybertruck lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, spinning its wheels trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

Seeing everyone on Twitter reacting to even more AI integration bemoaning having nowhere else to go and it's always like "ugh Twitter, Insta, Facebook, and TikTok are all AI slop feeds full of literal nazis, we're cooked" "what about Bluesky?" "no, too many cringe libs, which is equally bad to me."

"OoHhHhH they only used a tiny bit of genai but actually made the rest" they only used a tiny bit THAT WE KNOW OF. Why should I believe it's so absurd that they would have done more of the thing they already chose to do?

So many TTRPGs that ostensibly mechanize exploration include vast tables for random encounters with monsters and ruffians, but so few for encounters with cool mushrooms and bugs. Telling stuff.

this game is an escort mission for the colts. they have to gain yardage in small chunks and wait for philip rivers to walk up to the line. every couple minutes he spits out some dialogue like "hurry – we have to reach the satellite uplink so we can deliver evidence of the ambassador's wrongdoing"

After years of struggle, I have a new philosophy towards balancing variables in game design: simply make the system so mathematically inscrutable that balance becomes an obsolete concept. If calculating average values starts involving quadratics, no one will even bother looking for exploits.

Focus exclusively on maintaining standard and modern in set design, and use a single precon release at the end of the year to showcase how those cards can be used in commander as a means of onboarding both new players and staunch 60-card adherents to the format; never print the word "commander."

i think im gonna buy a honda fit

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

Addendum: Also, what about stories where highlighting the abusive aspect of an interaction *is the point*? Not every depiction of nudity or sex is something you're meant to get off to. Does that content and those stories just no longer have a place on this site?

I'm hard pressed to think of a single piece of media more poorly understood in the pop culture vernacular than Calvin and Hobbes. Every fan iteration or meme format derived from the comics demonstrates a level of revisionism tantamount to biblical heresy.

another day, another gaggle of artists on tiktok forgetting that generative ai is a machine designed to destroy their work because someone uploaded a funny slop song about current events and we must uncritically surf each wave which presents itself

"Oh no, the leopards ate their faces" is rooting for the leopards that eat faces. You're happy that the people who supported the leopards are now being eaten by the leopards, because you are more focused on punishment and schadenfreude than you are with the whole "leopards are eating people" problem

Fantastic Four was a profoundly zen experience, in that it was so unconscionably insipid that my brain failed to produce a thought for the entire runtime.

dividing by 3 and then seeing a bunch of 3s in the decimal is so scary. it's like killing a spider but then discovering its nest

"No see because the soup represents the milieu of desire we all inhabit, and the backstroke contains this juxtaposition of facing forward and striving through labor, but still moving backwards, so in a way the fly is a reflection of the man who desires a soup devoid of flies. That's the joke."

This is a metaphor for the relationship between poverty and the prison industrial complex.

The implied Jon Doomslayer within this joke is equally funny

Research is a dying passion. I'm surrounded at every turn by people offloading their mental exercise to large language models peddled by billionaire war hawk grifters, as though the process of learning and application is a burden. It's terribly discouraging.

Found some Janeway Tuvix defenders in the wild and they are NOT taking the realization that they are using pro-life arguments very well.

Okay so I actually do need some cash because streaming services tried to take out money that isn't there. Willing to sell Chatterfang to someone for 130+shipping if anyone wants a decently solid squirrel deck.

been working on something

It's crazy how when I draw a ass even vaguely female in presentation it gets instantly content flagged but I can be routinely shown full live action shaft and tip on my discover feed without so much as a warning. Please don't point out I haven't drawn anything in a while, I will cry.

in drawing specificity equals love

It's crazy how conservatives in the US cry "woke" when people point out anything from social disparity to actual genocide. Like yeah, being aware of the bullshit is woke. That's a good thing, you know, unless you're the one commiting genocide.

It's a weird feeling knowing I might have already played my last game of magic. It's wild how you can love something for a decade and then like six terrible corporate decisions later feel nothing but vacant apathy.

If you're getting tired of blocking braindead AI proponents, just start asking them to tell you what ChatGPT is actually good for and they will do the blocking for you.

Just saw someone suggest that a movie version of Calvin and Hobbes should have had Robin Williams as Calvin's Dad and I would now like to put a full metal jacket round through my hard palate in a composite steel geodesic dome so it bounces around a bunch and hits me several additional times.

hello 👋 professional writer here. it's fine to use "your" and "you're" interchangeably. most readers will understand what you're trying to say either way, and you shouldn't have to placate people who won't read between the lines

the coyote paints the fake tunnels. what the fuck is wrong with you.

Let's pretend the author simply does not exist. Harry Potter is about a boy who watches a liberal status quo fail to stop fascism, and then the moment he's able goes "and now, I will become a cop." Grow up.

i just think she's neat

this set release is my own personal glup shitto moment

I mean at least they're finally acknowledging their candidate was an unfeeling death machine bound in a single, inexorable direction. So we're getting closer.

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING y'all have been actively agreeing with cops with every "guy fawkes in a funny L hat" meme

Like I don't particularly want to block you, but your post bored me without using any specific words or topics that could be retained by "show me less like this" so until this site implements a dismissive "I tire of these antics" button, you get the airlock.

Making horny art that shies into self-censorship for any actual nudity feels more regressive and lecherous than simply making porn.

Not even ostensibly intelligent people can pose an argument in favor of LLM application beyond "maybe the people who say it's bad are wrong, somehow. Engagement please!" Limp and pathetic.

Doodles of Hedgerow, compete with references to lore you don't understand

no you don't get it, they're putting a bunch of super famous people in it AND it kinda looks like the old ones so it HAS to be good this time

It's so easy to become an artist that people have whole complexes about it. Whatever descriptive adjective you place in front of "artist" is less important, so long as you actually give a shit about making something that matters to you.
