Man... I hate our provincial government. Like abusive parents, they always use the stick, never the carrot.

Never incentives, always punishment.

No funding for improvements, but always funding for aggressively pursuing those who don't do as they want.

I shudder for their kids and their pets.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.
Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Okay, I'm not even done reading the full thread, or the article and I've got this feeling of dawning horror.

No wonder we're facing a crisis of people acting like we're in entirely separate realities, if a lot of people are only able to do "Vibe Reading".
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Man, I hate when I find a new thing, go "hey this is pretty cool- Hey, waaaaiiiit a minute... There's something subtly WRONG with it" and then realize it uses AI, which is why it's so prolific in so short a time. -_-

I love that English escalated déranger when they imported it from French. It makes it perfect when French people apologize for being a few minutes late as derangement, so sorry to derange you

Man, I don't know what gave me two back to back nights of insomnia, but I wish it would just stop. Today's been kind of miserable. XD

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

Okay, I'm severely anti-theist, but like... These people need to go on *ALL* the talk shows afterwards to accuse the trump regime of discriminating against christians for not letting them pray in front of ice facilities.

*suspicious squint*

Did Facebook break the Memories function? That's two days of no memories at all showing up.

Facebook, that's one of like two things I come here for, you really don't want to give me less reason to check in there... XD

This incorrect slop getting in the way of the actual google search is a literal waste of resources.

It can't even summarize the first friggin' search result, and still proudly displays above them?

I nearly choked on thin air reading this oh my gods. XD

Because you're so right. If FF7 released for the first time today, people would be losing. Their. Shit. Complainy threads EVERYWHERE.

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Maaaan, the more I think about the next TTRPG campaign I want to run, the more hyped I get about the concept, especially because I love the villain, who has every reason and ability to be active in the story.

Even if she's not physically there for the early bits, she's got reason to "show up" XD

More than once, I wondered about a "second person perspective narration"...

Well, I'm reading something that's *almost* like that. All the juicy exciting details are being relayed through people who are NOT the PoV character. XD

I'm finding that *fascinating*.

Going from optional content in Exp 33 to regular content is WILD.

I went from "Must use every advantage, master every timing, try different party splits, etc" to "Oh WOW, I can just disrespect these things and I don't have enough AP to use most of my Cool Stuff before they die". XD

I'm sorry what. They want a chatbot that frequently hallucinates to be filing bug reports?!

Brace for huge delays and buggier games in the future from Squeenix if they actually do this. :(

I imagined trying to get through bug reports written by an LLM and immediately got an honest to god headache. What do you mean I can’t even go back to the person who wrote it and ask for more details because there isn’t one, but it can still make shit up?

This goes into that “deprofessionalization” of the game industry article that went around a few months ago. People who don’t understand the work or care about the value of the people doing the work or honestly even care about quality at all. They just want to not have to pay workers.

Dwarf Fortress adventure mode, if a magic weapon impales someone and remains stuck in them, they can use the magic of the weapon.

That's rad.

I asked my "likes to play one-shot TTRPG sessions" pals what direction they wanted my next one to lean into and was astounded that in a choice between "escape + heist against pirates", "Oceanic temple raid" and "first one, but more horror-adjacent" they UNANIMOUSLY went for the third one. XD

Man, my faithful ipod nano just developed some cracks and I dunno how the happened.

I'm thinking of putting some Resin on the cracks tonight to help keep it together. Fortunately it's all at the bottom...

Man, I'm so mad they no longer sell these, they were so good. :(
