Hi, yall know I don’t like asking for help, but sometimes you gotta suck it up. If yall could repost and get eyes out, I’d very much appreciate it. My car battery is essentially dead or it’s literally on its very last leg. Took me 10 minutes to get it started this morning ko-fi.com/iceblue_/goa...

welp. My phone bill went up by $200 for last month, and I apparently missed an excise tax payment. Plus, I may have a tooth problem. I now barely have $2,000 total between my accounts and credit. I'm doing my best to stay strong while some payments come in, but in the meantime: ko-fi.com/carrarium

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.

I've been thinking about this poem a lot lately.
I played enough Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World to know that I will only condone vehicular manslaughter if a buff elf lady in my head is telling me to do so.
debuting as part of @aftermath.site's hater week, here's my list of (so far) over 50 video game studios that are rejecting generative AI, each with their rationale for doing so

“Even if I’m just looking at this in the cold mercenary MBA freak way—the ‘I want to generate income as much as possible’ way—you can’t make a thing people want to buy if the thing you want to buy is the same thing everyone else has. And that’s what you fucking get with AI models. It’s definitionally part of how they work.
So all using [AI] will do is make you compete worse. You have to do laps on a hamster wheel to arrive at the opposite conclusion. Because the only way to actually make money on this shit besides a pump-and-dump is to be the guy selling the shovels. And even the shovels are starting to rust.
Even the stuff that sounds good or looks good for a given value of ‘good’ (i.e. it convincingly looks at a glance like it wasn’t generated with a machine, it’s ‘professional’) is only capable of spitting out inputs that existed before. You can feel it in the ‘choices’ it makes, because it doesn’t make choices; it chooses a value with a weight given by a model patched from every work at once on fast forward. The nutritional value of AI work is approximately identical to watching a 2000s horror movie trailer compilation at 4X speed while second-screening Maury transcriptions. It might be fun to look at, but it will kill you on the inside."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreigiufrt3kp7efextkls2lz25nctkkjrso6ya4vbap7y72wkytlkem)
