I very genuinely don't know how anyone keeping up on GenAI stuff could still deny the bubble (unless they are lying in order to protect investment) ((that's the answer)) But seriously

I want to interact with people on here that I don't have in other spaces, but my issue is that I don't want to add to stressful political venting, I'm not the best source for constructive information, and discussing anything else feels weird too. Anyway popping in to say hi!

I've successfully switched from getting my news from social media, to combining ground news app (news aggregator from all sources) and deep discussions in person and in small online groups and my quality of life and available energy for fighting back has increased vastly

I submitted Calico to this! Please support this cause. I'm from MN, and glad to see the vast and organized mobilization efforts coming from the people there. </3

Kinda wild that im 31 👍 aging is cool when youre on the right meds

Asked my daughter why she was whimpering and she says “It’s just that I wish Pokemon were real” Same, kiddo

So, why does the ”name for a 3 point throw in basketball” question come up in like 3 crosswords this month. Whats up with that

Got to 30 before I got the boot of shame 🥲 (foot is fine, I think it didn’t like me being active for the first time in my life)

I’m trying so hard to not be annoyingly overoptimistic or sound naive, it’s just really cool that there’s been electoral consequences for how wild and blatant things have been in gov

Mamdani: "There are 12 days remaining until Election Day. I will be a Muslim man in NYC each of those 12 days and every day that follows after that. I will not change who I am, how I eat, or the faith that I am proud to call my own."

Really glad to see this reported on. www.pcgamer.com/games/the-si...

Idk what a game should cost, but any games higher than $50 should have a playable demo Also I support launch day expansion packs/DLC (not lootboxes) if it drops the base price

I feel bad for anyone affiliated with GDC trying to make it a more inclusive or safer experience, because whoever is making these end decisions clearly does not care about those parts. And the messaging is awful 😭 The safety part of the website mentions NOWHERE about covering your drink

Going to stress again that even though this also ideologically sucks, it's also just a lie. This article is basically an advertisement, and you should view it with the same skepticism with which you'd view a listing for $10 vacuum that says it's entirely silent.

Woke up at like 3am after stress dreaming about soil types and tree placement and now I can’t get back to sleep. Brains are wild

tried a watercolor look using glazes and I’m soooooo happy with it

I can't believe my ADHD brain chose to hyperfocus this month on TWO healthy active hobbies (gardening and ballet), this is truly unprecedented.

Did you know it’s illegal to sell a ballet leotard for a larger bust? I know it’s a really odd rule but yeah also if you try to order one your phone explodes like 50 feet

It seems too obvious to even point out, but Calico is Pumply’s big Clumbly and I doubt I’ll ever make a non pumly game in my whole life Big fan of misty cube though

Vyvanse update: Been on it for a couple months now, the crashes are much more chill and I've figured out what and when I need to eat during the day to make it absorb consistently. I did two different online exercise classes this morning (ballet). I've literally never done that in my life

I want to be a nature lover so bad. I want to exist in the outdoors and be a cool disney princess forest girly. I wish I wasn't TERRIFIED of bees, spiders and bugs 😭 I'm building this natural backyard habitat which will be good for the earth and bad for my ability to go outside

Dang, they finally forced an update to Windows 11. I held out so long lmaooo

This is your hourly reminder to never, ever, ever in your entire life make a kickstarter with physical rewards. I mean it, not even letters or postcards, I'm being so serious rn

It's happening, my brain is retaining plant knowledge. We're re landscaping out entire blank lawn into a native plant garden and I've been researching plants for weeks

I'm being personally attacked by the weather

Man I love when I play a game and realize the extra 1000 hours of content they put in was filler with absolutely no intent or meaning made simply to take up my time

My kids are so cool, I just think about it constantly

I enjoy making indie games.

Haven’t been on here as much, but I have 50 hours of rambling thoughts brought on by the new people make games Disco Elysium legal battle update video. It has such a clear delineation of people who want to make art, and people who will do anything to own it

My kitty, who I have my entire adult life and is a part of my soul was incredibly sick in the hospital all last week, but managed to pull through and is back home. I had pictured a much more sad post on here today, but instead I get a happy one. Hug your pets. <3

i love my sweet chunky mega son!!!!! begone haters he's perfect 🧡🪽

Hello. It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released. Now, I'm looking for your memories. Let's turn back together. Face the flower and speak. memories.undertale.com

I'm absolutely in love with the new mega dragonite (devilmancrybabyonite), and I'm so glad I retain the joy and whimsy to enjoy him. Perfect baby.

Been doing polymer clay stuff to get off my phone more. Of course instead of small projects I have been working for 2 months on one, trying to make it perfect. I have made approx. 50 flowers that didn't work out. Now gotta do eyes and some other stuff! It's a pink peony leafeon in the TCG card pose

Stating "We are at an all time high for customers and profits, so we need less people to make products for them" is wild and I'm surprised the email even made it past a second look. I think I get the whole shareholder profits thing, but shouldn't this raise some alarms from shareholders to sell?

Remember as you are watching your friends and colleagues get unceremoniously laid off today that last year Microsoft posted a 17% increase in profits in 2024 to $171 BILLION dollars. They do not now or ever need to lay off a single person.

There's tons of ethical reasons to hate GenAi in games, but I also think a lot about how AAA games have needed to focus on quantity in their 500+ hours games. And how I think generally games would improve greatly by scoping down. The resource limits of old hardware resulted in great and creative art

My strawberries that I planted vs the strawberries that the birds planted in my yard (there is a 6’ grove of them near the fence)

I’m very confused at the comedy dating sim discourse. It sucks when a corp makes a VN joke because they’re a corp. people spending years making a comedy dating game just wanted to make a comedy dating game? I think we’ve veered too far into “all comedy dating sims are disrespectful to the genre”

Wait, a society that championed rugged individualism has a loneliness epidemic? No kidding? That's so weird!

I really like.... designing cuties 🤠

It doesn’t solve anything and it definitely doesn’t change anything but it is kind of nice to know that he knows that his big macho honk honk birthday parade sucked

Not direly important considering all happening today, but we found a cute little bird nest with eggs in a tarp next to the chickens. The birds keeps getting scared every time we have to go do chicken stuff. Anyone know if it’s possible to move a nest?

Today!!!! Go protest and swing by the market!

hi please don't share images or videos of identifiable protestors thank you

The diamonds cannot be Fascists because it is possible to defeat a Fascist with violence. But you cannot defeat a God with violence. How do you make God change it's mind? The show sacrifices a lamb. God bears witness to the suffering of a pure innocent and is irrevocably changed.

Last RT random take: People see that steven universe comic as hating on the series, and I think it's more about like, yeah his stuff works in the reality of the show because it's supposed to be analogous to average kid issues and solutions. But I adore the comic as stepping out of that reality lmao

Reposting this for no particular reason

Fun fact, if you have ADHD and take Vyvanse, it works by syphoning JD Vance’s energy, keep taking your meds besties!
