“As much or as little as you want. No one tells you how to mourn.” are there Dragon Age fans on Bluesky? I hope there are Dragon Age fans on Bluesky #dragonage #avelinevallen #marianhawke

I'm taking this seriously because it's a common belief that "the young people" want media tailored specifically to them and their experiences. I think it's a case of "the customer thinks they know what they want, but they're wrong." 1/3

The Craetor🍄☕️@craetor.bsky.social · 2d ago

Hello, esteemed mr Tingle... I'd like to inquire, by nature of the times we live in, whether you use AI at all for your covers these days.

The photos don't do justice to the quality of this statuette. The detail work is amazing and photography gives it a plastic-y shine that it doesn't actually have. I really love mine!

Quote skeeting to break this off from the very valid point to go down another path: A world where mindreading is real would be incredible. You could sit next to an author and experience the worlds they're creating in real time. Imagine taking a holiday in Tolkein's brain as he came up with LOTR.

Why is Lucanis Dellamorte the best assassin? Because his name is LuCANis, not LuCAN’Tis

Meruka: "What is this small thing and why is it talking to me?" She was raised entirely around adults, she has no clue. Viago kept her away from the other fledglings when she was training because he knew she'd be a terrible influence. She does not want to have kids and Lucanis is fine with that.

Dragon Age OC Question of the Day@daocqotd.bsky.social · 2mo ago

#daOCqotd How is your OC with children? (any children, doesn't have to be theirs)

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

Hey Canada, I have a suggestion. How about we stop loading our jails with First Nations people who have committed poverty-related crimes and put these asswipes in there instead? We can't just "condemn" them, they must be stopped. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Chatted with our financial planner last week. He showed us some standard plans (heavy amount of US companies). They were all doing ok, +6-8%. Spouse asked if there were any plans that weren't heavily USA invested. Europe was about the same. The one Canada-only plan? +13%

A.I. and corporate lingo are dragging language ynto drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave wet dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them. Save us.

Fuck the oil industry. Support the artists. UBI now.

JayIsPainting 🍁@jayispainting.earthskyart.ca · last wk.

Fun fact. Canada's arts & culture gdp is basically the same as oil & gas at about $70 billion. Direct funding for the arts & culture is about $700 million annually albertaviews.ca/arts-publicl... It's up to $30 billion for oil & gas depending on how you count www.theenergymix.com/canada-pours...

Gee, why has the tourist industry in the US crashed?

TOO VISIBLE BACK UP REVERSE

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Hey, happy bi visibility time!

Moral panics are manufactured concerns created to push an agenda, don't hold up under scrutiny, and the fallout always harms more people than will ever be helped. Stand up for trans people.

Micah@rincewind.run · 2w ago

stand up for trans people: it is the right thing to do and it just will not hurt you, not now, not in this environment and maybe folks can start to relearn that trans people are pretty fucking cool, actually

I'll say again I always hated the deep roads more than the fade in dao it's just so long and I don't want to keep making return trips to heal and dump inventory, and if it weren't for that orzammar wouldn't need to be late game

Please I beg of you, if you are in a choir with a person who writes smut for a living, do not refer to a three-part harmony piece as a "three-way." The director caught the look on my face. 🫠

Our car insurance had been "undercharging" us for the past 6 months and dumped the recalculate amt on us now. Given we are already sweating to make rent we cant afford this and if we dont have ins my partner cant make what pittance they do. Shares & donos equally appreciated #mutualaid

Yep. I wanted to brush up on my Spanish and tried Duolinguo years and years ago. It was useless, asking me to translate articles on weird niche subjects that were not helpful for my fluency. I was like, "This is a scam."

Ash@fishyash.bsky.social · 2w ago

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
