the confidence of an average white man is a decent baseline from which we can start to establish what human psychological vulnerabilities can and will be exploited by AI. Green is a good example of a desirable host for the parasite, maybe moreso if the offline layman generally has no idea who he is

part of why the AI market is pushing "everybody is using it, it's inevitable" narrative: I've seen with people in my life the more you lean on it (and a lil bit slippery slopes towards more) it will make you worse at what you're doing until your output is as mediocre as anyone only using AI to do it

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

a good chunk of my games are several hours long and all of them are free to play so you should be playing them, imho

just saw an unbelievably cool cover for a japanese game from the 90s you’ve never heard of before? don’t get too excited: it is almost certainly mahjong

Fell down a Suzy-Q rabbit hole while researching another Pepsodent girl. Suzy's ad debuted in November 1955, her name was originally spelled "Susie-Q" and if the articles I've read are correct, she wasn't even the only Pepsodent girl to adopt that name. In Australia, however, they called her "Suzy".

Suzy Q Pepsodent 1956-1964 The gleaming white smile of Suzy Q - introduced by Tex Avery at Cascade Studios - lit up American screens during her brief run in the mid-1950's. She never appeared outside of TV, but her popularity extended to Britain and Australia where she enjoyed a fairly longer run.

this is John Michonski's fault somehow

I never played Undertale but if the internet has given me any context for it I'm pretty sure it's about fucking some kind of cow grandma

The "Followed By" list of people I follow who also follow OP is practically a who's-who of The People Who Find Games. get you some.

The industry makes great games, but nobody can find them. Algorithms built to surface content are increasingly rewarding volume, familiarity, and short-term engagement over quality or originality. https://bit.ly/44VFYO9

i don't think i talked about how as a prank to my friends i edited the entire 2 hour run of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children like a ytp and passing it off as a weird link from 2007 i found on internetarchive heres the Sephiroth fight edited like a classic cartoon. The whole film is like this.

so long suckers! I rip out the cat5 and the entire screen freezes and cuts to black. when i reconenct im lying completely dead on the pavement

Everyone hates it when their opponent just leaves the game before it's over, so I've been trying to find ways to soften the blow a little bit. #fightinggame #gamemaker #indiedev

I really believe that the world will be a better place -- better, kinder, more hopeful and more forgiving -- when Everyone stops hatewatching WWE. yes even critics and creators. you don't have to make people care about your takes if they already don't want the product. even Rifftrax has limits.

Spooky Sammi Skeletons@froondingloom.bsky.social · 2d ago

seeing so many summer slam takes and at a certain point I am asking you not to watch WWE not even on moral grounds but because, like, clearly you don't fuckin like it. 🤼

honest question, I've seen the Uservoice website used several times over the past year or three to collect various complaints about Twitch functionality, policy, etc. and I never really knew how to ask this: has it been an effective channel for protest / complaint / petition?

I've been thinking about my older tunes lately, and about some of the attempts I've made to "rework" or "update" some of them, and it lines up with how I feel about updated versions of other electronic musicians' low-fidelity work: it often loses something in the translation. it becomes too normal

Reading is groovy. Here's part three of my library 'READ' poster series.

I was a massive Gwen Stefani hater after being a fan of No Doubt's self-titled and then hearing Tragic Kingdom sound nothing like it. Moby's South Side was just normal the first time I heard it, a good listen, then seemingly overnight they added Stefani to it forever. I was white-hot raging

Original Chungus@tronknotts.bsky.social · 6d ago

Moby had that song with Gwen Stefani?

these kinds of viral posts are actually very useful to many of us who don't look at a calendar every day and have a tendency to wander through a temporal landscape where our brains no longer mark the passing of time naturally for some reason and it is perpetually "some day"
