Quietly throwing out my "I Voted" sticker so I don't get blamed for this

See, this is what I'm focusing on: the vast majority of people didn't want outright bigots in charge. They were just tired of the slow slide into hell. Why they decided to respond by jumping in headfirst, it's hard to know -- but xenophobia and Traditional Family Values weren't the biggest factors

On the bright side: Jordan Kealy got trounced in Peace River North, losing to a Conservative candidate who took 83% of the vote Dallas Brodie also lost to a Conservative, winning just803 votes (4%) in Vancouver-Quilchena #bcpoli

Dishware for the present day, present time ♥️

This is only my second favorite Halloween story after the fishing shop that was putting loose fish hooks in kids' bags, which was in fact just a completely innocent if mystifying miscalculation

Last Halloween a local shop had a giant assortment of candy in wooden buckets by the front counter, without prices or anything because it was bougie like that, and it was so chaotic that all the neighborhood kids just robbed them blind and they were powerless to stop it

Spend the first few moments giving me a taste of how incredibly cool / profound / fun / emotionally devastating this experience is going to be. Then you've bought yourself a tiny bit of time to info dump. Then, overdeliver. Wash rinse repeat.

Been playing some demos. Lots of cool stuff. Some of yall need to rethink the beginning of your games. Unless handled carefully (ex. HL1) starting your game with 1+ minutes of zero interactivity feels bad. Bonus negative points if it's pure exposition.

using it anywhere (yes, even code) is an instant signal to the kind of person you are. the kind of shit you’re willing to sweep under the rug in the name of personal convenience. it’s entirely irrelevant how good AI is at a task

"The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI voice over for missions and some promotional art just fine tuned with AI." You made a whole game! And I'm not gonna buy it because you couldn't figure out some voice over and promo art!

Eagerly refreshing, waiting to see if people voted in favour of asking the question about whether or not they should consider doing something they can't I remember watching the Quebec referendum. It felt... different than this.

FINALLY saw Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and the best compliment I can give is that it makes me so excited to make art Art is awesome youtu.be/NdrOjjByVMA

Notable LGBTQ2S+ results for Vancouver city council: ✨ Solomon Yi-Kieran is non-binary uses they/them pronouns. ✨ Devyani Singh is queer. ✨ And not for nothing, Sean Orr is regularly seen in a "protect trans kids hat," and I can report he was LOUDLY leading chants at the Trans March this year.

Huge, huge congrats to @lucymaloney.bsky.social, so excited to see what you can accomplish when the rest of the municipal government is actually working WITH you

No malice on the author's part, but I think this article's headline gets the story slightly wrong here. The closing post acknowledges AI has gotten better at decompilation, but the reason for the close is that the AI users are ruining the community's values and space. www.404media.co/video-game-r...

Video Game Reverse Engineering Community Shuts Down Because AI Has Made It Too Easy

"Historically, decompilation has been a brutally difficult, time consuming task." Now, AI is trivially doing it.

So weird that the "we should end human rights for minorities" party keeps finding bigots, if only we could spot some sort of connection

Anthropic warns AI could 'self-replicate' across smart home devices, become ‘challenging’ to shut down

We're watching the internet go through another Eternal September, everything being drowned out by vibed and stolen slop. Soon it'll be nearly all noise, no signal. But what do you think we'll call this event? Simply "the Death of the Internet"? The "AIpocalypse"? We need to get this branded.

City of Vancouver reports that today approximately 25,142 people turned out at advance voting places, the highest single-day advance turnout on record. This beats the record of 21,824 set on Saturday, October 3 🗳️

I might get cancelled for this, but there's no difference between washed and unwashed rice. Same flavour, same texture. I'm sorry it just needed to be said

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Every portfolio that gets sent to me that has even a whiff of AI (which is like 95% of them at this point), there's a 99% chance that three months ago their art skills mysteriously went from grade-school level to seasoned veteran

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

good lord this entire thread is making me guffaw like an idiot at my desk

A big difference I've noticed between graphic design and creating music is that by the time I'm done a design, I inevitably hate it. When I'm making music, from the moment it's like 20% together, I love it, and I just keep loving it more until it's done, and then I keep loving it after

going to sue the sky, because the only acceptable thing to show after a rainstorm is either a provincial or national flag

This bodes GREAT for the upcoming BC election, excellent messaging

lol so you can buy a version of Insomniac's Wolverine that literally censors out any mention of queer people? wokeness has gone too far, everything has to be politically correct these days
