It’s hilarious to me that everyone in America apparently hated lockdowns because my experience in Amsterdam was a few weeks of working from home while various neighbors performed afternoon concerts from their apartment balconies over the shared courtyard, ie, IDYLLIC

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d ago

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Hey folks. I could use some help bridging the next two months while I wait for my SDI payments to kick in. Come Oct, those will sustain me and my family for the foreseeable future, but in the meantime we still have Aug and Sept to get through. gofund.me/f720613b5

So let me know if i got this wrong: I give 50% of my paycheck from streaming on Twitch to the platfrom and they get to use my streams to feed their gen AI? I'm literally paying Twitch to use my content to train their AI? No way this goes well lmao

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 5d ago

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.

I didn't quite understand how good Foo Fighters was. They're phenomenal.

Public libraries within walking distance are one of the best things about living in a big city.

I just got some VERY bad news that makes it absolutely crucial to fix Mom's situation as soon as possible. She is in danger of losing her house. I'll be launching a GoFundMe and doing a stream to explain tonight as soon as I'm off work (no gameplay, just talking).

Skeletal Minion@skeletalminion.bsky.social · 2w ago

My mom is in a very tough spot right now, like so bad I'm genuinely worried the stress will literally kill her. I need some fundraising ideas Would people want me to start streaming again? If I were to do a fundraising stream or streams, what would y'all want to see me do? Maybe +R stuff?

You don’t want hands free driving, you want trains. You want trains you want trains you want TRAINS

I think it harms Journalism that the message that the media has sent to us over the last several years is that no matter what a person does it’s impossible to credibly be sure that they are a Nazi.

can’t find a night when everyone’s reliably free for it, huh

Skullgirls BlazBlue Central Fiction King of Fighters XV Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Guilty Gear Accent Core +R Guilty Gear XRD Rev2 Under Night in Birth 2 Sys Celes Persona 4: Arena Ultimax Remastered Are all fighting games I want to learn or get better at. I do not have enough time.

Remember when Skullgirls got a major rollback netcode and stability overhaul that wholly revamped the way the game works online and improved it dramatically and then it came out that it was the programmers for the mobile port who created and implemented these improvents and Mike did none of it?

The programmer who was personally responsible for Guilty Gear Strive's rollback was asked to work on Avatar, but decided to pass on it because Mike Z worked at the studio. But hey, at least you got Mike Z!

It's interesting that people who try to cape for Mike like to play up his skills as a programmer because he made a game engine, but famously he's not very good at implementing features, and online components have always been something he fucking sucks at. The idea that he's necessary is comical.
