you look at the state of the video game industry, and you realize how smart a move it was for jeff minter to start that llama farm
Like I know we’re tragically raising iPad babies one mistake at a time , but I didn’t realize fully grown adult professionals are voluntarily ipadbabying themselves to try and meet the kids in the middle. It’s like a generational pincer movement to defeat the sane.
People like kavish here are in fact willingly, gleefully speedrunning Being A Pathetic Burden To Society while proudly announcing that they’ve voluntarily become completely non functional tech dependents. it HAS to be a humiliation kink!?

Adding it to my list of very of-the-era pop culture references that slipped into a Final Fantasy game.

idk it just feels like at this point it’s clear that sustained use of AI does something to your brain and for some people that ends up being truly life ruining and i’m like why would you not want to protect your brain.
I was just thinking about this earlier today. The fact that, setting aside all of the moral issues, these AI models just... don't do the things that they are supposed to do. Like we're a couple years into this and that's just pretty obvious yet people are still using them and that baffles me.
“people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this” I feel like the answer is right there in the question tbh
Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.
the el-sayed win shows yet again that centrists are now everything they always claim the left is when it comes to israel: ideologically rigid, in hock to extremists, mistaking online beefs (ie hasan) for mass politics—and toxic to the electorate.
TEXAS figured it out? TEXAS?
New Texas data center projects frozen until state audits them
On Monday, the governor ordered the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to audit all data centers wanting to connect to the state’s power grid.

Chris DeLeon Ⓥ make your own games@chrisdeleon.bsky.social · 6d agolike when the tea party paid for No Data Center yard signs in my hometown sometimes they don't care if it goes elsewhere just don't want it where it affects their home BUT step 1 is to add as much friction as we can to being anywhere they're trying to be we'll cross the next bridge when we get there
When a game is trapped on some proprietary platform I’m never gonna use like Netflix or Meta Quest I call that Platform Purgatory.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d agoPlease stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters defeated a GOP bid to limit their ability to amend the state constitution. The measure was the GOP's attempt to diminish the power of voters who’ve used citizen initiatives to expand Medicaid and protect abortion access.
Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution
Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure,…

And yet 80% of nativists will pretend not to be racists, they just want ‘law & order’ (and explicitly racist laws & executive orders)
Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · yesterdayFor the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.

PSA: ANYONE you see saying "voting does nothing" from now to the election is an op. Block them, and tell your friends.
