steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

I am relieved that the government shutdown is over because of my friends and relatives who were being hurt. I’m also fucking pissed and am definitely on the “primary those fuckers” train

I think that all of us need to talk about how the Blender Foundation is hinting at adding AI integration to Blender in the future. Right now it's little more than proposition in their new Labs project, but that's the best time to catch it and make sure it doesn't grow into a reality.

That shingles vaccine is no fucking joke. In every way. You gotta get it, because shingles is no joke, but also I got it 3 days ago and today is the first day where I feel crummy but am functional.

I know I'm late to the party, but how about The Blue Prince, huh? I've only been playing it for a couple of days, but it's really started to take some interesting shape. Day 1 was like a slightly amusing escape room video game, but today was not that at all.

Two quick random fixes after hours tonight, dopresskit.com properly serves files again and the @thehabibis.show handle got revalidated. I also got the little music box tinkering project mostly working & my soldering is back up to par.
