My new highest record for Swashbuckler in Balatro is +250 mult, thanks to two polychrome Eggs and a Gift Card. That with a Hologram, and then an Ectoplasm opening a spot for a Brainstorm got me a pretty awesome run.

This is the biggest problem with AI users. They feel they are entitled to art at any given time. Having no idea how much effort an artist goes through with learning to create art for years. Art is not an entitlement. It is a skill. You are never entitled to someone else's skill, effort, or time.

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

Well, I'm already on the fence about giving up on streaming because of a lack of growth and imposter syndrome telling me I'm never good enough. This makes me want to NOT open OBS Studio and hit the start stream button. Fuck this. Fuck all of this. Get very mad and get very loud about this.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Streamers and viewers need to be incredibly loud in letting Amazon and Twitch know that we do not want Gen AI training. Can't even begin to tell you how bad it would be to allow it. I'm pretty sure music labels aren't going to be okay with it either, let alone most game studios.

I think there needs to be a study done on how excessive dependence on AI affects the brain. From what we have seen based on the behavior of AI users, I worry that if children are exposed to the use of AI, it can be detrimental to their brain development. AI is literally rotting people's brains.

Having a weird AI guy crashing out in my mentions for days is really informative of how AI can boil your brain, 'cos he's treating other human beings like chatbots he just has to repeat himself to in order to get the desired response and is baffled he's not getting obsequious "my bad, you're right"

It's one thing to know AI usage can atrophy cognitive abilities, it's another to see it demonstrated in real time by someone who just won't stop replying with the same nonsense over and over and realizing oh, this guy has been trying to prompt engineer other people.

Want a fun challenge when playing Balatro? Try to see if you can win a run by skipping every small blind and big blind and only play against boss blinds. I've managed to get a few wins playing white stake on Plasma Deck and one win playing white stake on Ghost Deck. Challenging and fun.

People playing Balatro still not realizing that just because one joker can be really good in certain situations doesn't automatically make it a good joker in every run. A Baron-Mime build don't mean shit if you don't have enough kings. And a Photo-Chad is only as powerful as your hand level.

Also this goes for every commissioner out there. SFW & NSFW Artists get targeted by PP regardless if they are complying to their rules or not. So, please do not give them any reason to freeze someone's account and ban them from using PP, some people don't have other options but to use it.

As posted in a few servers and was alerted to this picture earlier today: What they said. DO NOT FILL IT OUT, it is there to fuck with your artist peers and yourself, they (paypal) can and will abuse this and steal your money by banning your account

Mildly hot take: Twitch's Stream Streak feature is actually kinda shit. Because once it became a thing, so many people have been using it to treat streamers like a number or a stat rather than a person. People show up, wait a few minutes, get their stream streak, and leave.
