The Interceptor is the best TIE. Doesn't mean I don't like a lot of the others, it's just the best one. This is not a discussion. I am objectively correct.

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

And it's gonna be because the institutional memory got obliterated in layoffs, senior skills demolished, team synergy/morale wrecked while Money Guys were pivoting + derailing entire studios to squeeze more $$$ It's gonna be cause of the human cost. Don't blame the wounded when you start to feel it

It'll be in ways you don't always understand but definitely notice. Friction in places there didn't used to be Why isn't this fun anymore? Why does this take so long to load? Are they EVER gonna fix this bug? The last franchise game had this figured out, why'd they fuck up that feature in this one?

Already noticed some AAA games from the last few years slipping in quality due to the attack on labourers by the wealthy class and uh... I think gamers need to know it's gonna keep deteriorating in small ways, not a big bang Games will still drop for a while, but they'll be quietly worse

I am amazed how small the Final Fantasy TCG fandom is. One moderately busy subreddit, very little YouTube content all with low view counts, and very few stores that carry the game, and yet Squeenix keeps making it, with set 29 coming out next week. Any other company would have killed it long ago.

'Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.'

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

Jay Kuo@nycjayjay.bsky.social · 2w ago

No big companies should be able to control so much of our media, particularly our news, entertainment and social media together. It leaves them highly vulnerable to regulatory blackmail by the White House, as we have now seen over and over under Trump.

On the topic of AI, I would rather read whatever someone has personally written, spelling and grammatical errors included, or draw/painted then whatever slop someone had generated for them. You putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, has more soul and feeling than anything AI could spit out.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops. Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes. Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2] Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4] To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]
