Check out the steaming pile of AI garbage that just won $1,000 first prize in the Ohio State Fair poster contest. It's especially tragic since the 5th place, drawn by an actual human, is great. Rooster (OH fair has biggest poultry show in US) riding the "butter cow" (exactly what it sounds like).

I've started running again for the first time in years. I'm 2 weeks in to another round of Couch to 5K. Initially it felt like my brain was bouncing around in my skull with every footstrike, with my jaw clenched tight. That has passed and my head feels normal when I run now!

When you accidently use the Hose of Summoning while trying to do chores. ✨️The Hose of Summoning✨️ (Common Wondrous Item) This battered garden hose hums with faint chaos energy. Casts Summon Emu. Roll d20 to determine # of emus that instantly materialize into the middle of whatever you are doing.

We have air purifiers here, all blasting on high power, and I still feel a general malaise over this wildfire smoke. I hope the wildlife is OK 🥺

There's always been something special about holding a game in your hands. A lot of us here first experienced our favorite games through glancing at the box art, scanning the writeup on the back cover, or flipping through the manual.

PSA: It’s baby bird season and I wanted to share a video of some newly fledged American Robins. I know a lot of times people see these fledged birds and think something is wrong with them. They’re OK! Mom and Dad are nearby and will take care of them. 🐥🫶🏾🪶

The bluebird teen's parents are going for nest #2 of the season, but the teen is wondering why the steady supply of hot pockets (bugs) has been cut off 🪶

A juvenile Eastern bluebird sits on top of a wooden nest box, with its mother peeking out the entrance. You can see the spots on the bluebird's back, indicating it's only several weeks old.

amaz0n recommended I buy an AI slop version of our Stardew Valley Guidebook clearly made out of a combination of the Cookbook and the retail game cover art? how fun

An AI attempted imitation of the boxart to Stardew Valley mashed up with elements from the cookbook. A patch of cauliflower poorly morphs into the picnic cloth in the foreground, giving new meaning to Farm to Table. The animals mostly look like abominations. There's a water wheel attached to the silo, like one does. The AI doesn't understand the fish pond and morphed the dock into a... boat? Some of these animals, I truly can't understand what they are (just below the horse... WHAT IS THAT). The mailbox has become a wind sock??? The chicken looks a little angry, just like me.Stardew Valley Cookbook cover. A picnic of different Stardew Valley foods on a picnic cloth in a fieldStardew Valley cover art for the Switch game, published by Fangamer. It's got a bunch of animals from Stardew Valley and crops, buildings, and an obsessive amount of other in-game things.
