"Donald Trump sucked Bill Clinton's cock" is a very 2015 shock humor line you would see a declining comedian make before they were forced to make a rightward turn to salvage their career

The most difficult part of having COVID is resisting the compulsion the virus gives you to approach any large throng of people and start screaming straight up in the air

I really don't like coffee but all the things it does for you in the morning is exactly what I need.
Maybe if I just force myself to drink a bunch of coffee I'll start liking it

Oh my god this is so funny. I love the short frames of them tracking the coca cola logo (one of the only things they actually did) and using a massive brush to erase some of a background as if they're rotoing the AI characters. So good, the rare type of cringe content you get from ambitious liars
It’s incredible the company that made the cola ad had to make a fake making of to try to sell it as a thing that had people and effort behind it. Makes me think they realy take it personal when we call it crap and make fun of this stuff so keep it up 👍
Mirroring the video here if you don't want to even humor going onto Twitter, but when it gets into the "process" section, there's so many red flags of them lying about the work they put into the commercial that reveal how much of this video is them trying and lying after the fact.

ARC Raids ain't gunna last.
I don't know if I posted this called shot yet so I'll get it in writing now; ARC Raiders doesn't understand why extraction games work and it will not retain players. TPP and high TTK are antithetical to extraction games, the game will stop being fun very soon.

Wait they never did this? I assumed it had and I just never played it because my last AC was brotherhood. Even the very early games had some of this!

What is the UK's copyright law like because I'm shocked by this? I can't see this argument being made in America even though we live in a very permissive country
The judge ruled: “An AI model such as Stable Diffusion which does not store or reproduce any copyright works (and has never done so) is not an ‘infringing copy’.”
I'm sorry, what?? This simply isn't true, SD reproduces copyright protected works all the time. What is going on???

Writing a best selling fantasy novel: Okay so there's a guy who is smart and handsome and good at everything but everyone is mad at him for being better at everything than they are. Eventually he'll be fully vindicated and become a badboy rebel that important people and all the babes will love

The real problem is the big publishers only ever care about making 3 Billion Dollars. They made games that made money, but now they need to make games that make more money and they will lose any amount of money to chase that fantasy.
I do think part of it is that it’s hard to know if a game is likely to make 30 million on a budget of 10, which doesn’t give a lot of room for error. but what the prognosticators are doing right now isn’t working either, so
