The video games corporation is discontinuing their popular product, the video game
Is June 1 a good time for me to mention the book I'm working on is about postapocalyptic lesbians đź‘€
I was put on this earth to rot on my couch playing Pokopia and asking me to do literally anything else is a form of violence
I think the most insidious thing about AI is I can't just enjoy things anymore. "Aw cute puppy-- wait, maybe it's TOO cute...AI??" "I love her makeup! I wonder if I could-- hang on. AI??" Just a constant, ever-present need for suspicion.
