exactly HOW BAD do you want it

Morning thoughts about "AI". Where do we go from here?

Just saw Fortnite news again. What a great time to mention JKR considers ANY interaction with her franchise to be complete and wholehearted support of all her beliefs!

Honestly I'm starting to wonder at this point if it's intentionally to push AI as a new "search engine" because it's the only thing that's seemingly able to parse this/a lot less "trouble" than doing a search anymore (heavy quotation marks)

i don’t care if the power of friendship & hope is overdone. it fucking rules to wear your heart on your sleeve, to love and push through the muck for a better tomorrow. that’s the most badass thing anyone could ever do

The next time you read a distant street sign or small text on a screen from any sort of distance, know that in my mind I consider you to be doing fantastical wizardry

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

someone making an otherwise entirely gameplay focused mod for luigi's mansion should rename exactly one boo to "boossy" and see if anyone notices

No, Libby, when I clicked the fantasy tag, I did not ask for every "sizzling" "sensual" romantasy stories you had

Y'know, I could say I hope this is the thing that finally kills COD, but realistically I doubt most of its demographic cares about slop

Divided We Rise MFRP is now reopened for new members! After the success of our opening, we had closed down to settle in our new members and establish the baseline for our plots. Now, a few months later, we are ready for some fresh blood to come play with us. See replies for important links + info!

hey it's 7:30pm how fucked am I if I go to bed right now

google how to rewire brain so messages just saying "hi" do not automatically appear to equal "i want something from you"

Metroid friends, I don't actually know what happened, but I feel like I should offer you all my deepest condolences

This sounds like it should be a vaguely punkish 80s song about that one summer you spent with this girl you don't know anymore but had a blast with, something something, cherish your youth

Now that I'm writing more I'm keenly aware I need to read more to improve it but also that involves being able to sit down and focus for long periods and my attention span's badly eroded

slot machines disguised as phone games control far too much of the beautiful animated women industry

sonic racing is a game

Watched the Mario movie trailer and...it exists? The first one was fun but had a lot of weird and disappointing things about it, and this looks similar (Bowser Jr's voice, whatever's going on with tiny Bowser, Peach still leaning WAY too heavy into hashtag girlboss) Rosalina however seems perfect

Sure

A/I slop #1 best seller on steam, Pokemon spinoff $70 for a game key card, I'm going to become the Joker

I've been watching people play the lego mario party game and there are these commentators yapping the whole time, a lot of the writing is cheesy but then this line showed up and took me out at the kneecaps

Surely--SURELY even the Christmas celebrators can't possibly enjoy it being in November now?!

Today in "incredibly questionable songs to have stuck in your head that you need to be careful with": DRIVING IN MY CAAAAAR RIGHT AFTER A BEEEEEER

I am now at a weird place where I don't exactly have inspiration for my project and think the whole thing is coming out shit, but I also can't STOP writing for it

LRP I was mad enough at people letting P/alworld slide for the AI usage even if it turned out """confirmed""" that they didn't (I don't buy it). And then people let In/zoi and then E/xpedition 33 get away with it. It really just feels like a matter of time until it'll go totally unnoticed

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Randomly fell over nothing during my stupid mental health walk for my stupid mental health and now can't put weight on on my right foot

it's already black friday for the japanese ladybugs and brother, our house is walmart

Thisis what happened to Puyo and then they shot my favorite plotline dead

Why does so much adult dramatic media revolve around "oh no! I accidentally cheated on my spouse!" Like, am I too ace to understand or is that actually pretty easy to avoid? It isn't exactly "whoops, I slipped and my [x] landed in someone's [y]!"

It's a shame how Fortnite ended right after the KPDH collab. I guess it was a high note for them to go out on, at least!

I GOT A CHRISTMAS AD ON YOUTUBE *SIX HOURS* INTO NOVEMBER 1ST IT COMES EARLIER EVERY YEAR BUT I DON'T THINK IT CAN COME MUCH EARLIER AT THIS POINT

Had a dream last night that ?meatball/meatballing" entered Gen Z vocabulary, to describe a person falling on their skis/snowboard and rolling down a mountain. There were mobile games about it.

I'm at the point where I need to be careful which Tetris games/clones I play because some of them, if they have an infinite duration and no one interfering with me, I will straight up never lose, I will be stuck there for an hour

It's funny how you can have absolutely everything prepared for a story besides the actual writing, and there's a very real possibility the writing will never get done And by funny I mean I'm dying

Aaaand my fingers are tingling again. Great. I really am going to have to get my nerves zapped. The person doing intake described this test as "torture"

sharing this one because I had gemini and smart everything DISABLED and this was still checked

I carved a pumpkin yesterday! 🎃 The design is based on the logo for Star of Providence, an excellent game that everyone should play. 😌

this side of daylight savings is such bs it must be stopped

"Grandma suddenly said it's actually at 12:30. Incoming grumpy us."

Some Roblox games are genuinely fantastic dev work, but it's sad how much f2p/mobile monetization and patterns have spread, it's way worse than in VRChat I'm sure some people are doing this on purpose, but I wonder if some talented young devs just think this is the way games are supposed to BE

Good fucking riddance to the shitbag NaNo organization, but it's still a little weird knowing this'll be the first year without it in a long time. I'm so used to seeing people on my feeds gearing up three weeks early.

Y'know I once had a kid in a game's voice chat ask "are you a boy or a girl" and I responded with "does it matter?" and I still wonder what they thought about that I also blew their mind with the fact that "you're TWENTY??? and you STILL PLAY VIDEO GAMES???"

neurotypical fuckers are always like "autistic people have trouble following directions" and then hand me a form that asks if I have a history of bike helmet

Kinda hate how this stupid spreadsheet beast stumbled into exactly what a dream is. Places being different when you glance away and look back. Doors leading nowhere. The garbled text. Just makes me want a modern LSD Dream Sim made by human people

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.
