Finally can share this! This is much longer than my previous videos and also shares some more personal thoughts about why I like Gwyndolin as a character :3

"It happened in September..."

I know I always go back to that quote when I share my Jennifer cosplay for the Clock Tower anniversary, but it's so good. Especially since they re-translated it in the Rewind release last year for some reason lol

Happy 30th to #ClockTower 🥰

Video is now encoding - I was sitting there forever being like "why is the upload so slow" before realising I was on the VPN still. Welp

What happened to King Allant that would motivate him to kickstart the apocalypse?

My theory: persistent bad mood from gout
What happened to King Allant that would motivate him to kickstart the apocalypse?
What secrets lie beyond the sixth Archstone fallen to ruin and bereft of light?
Where exactly is the Nexus situated within Demon’s Souls’ world?

Arianrhod the lady of the silver wheel is next on my gwyndolin triptych 🌚🌝

Last will be finalising the design for Manannan Mac Lir, the shapeshifting sea god of magic, illusions, and the mystical Tír na nóg (where the tuatha de Danann, the old gods, were said to live)

A thing not often mentioned here is one of the things OpenAI is trying to take away is community. Having experts beyond yourself — and professionals and friends and family and and and — means interacting with them, enforcing community. This attempts (poorly, thankfully) to diminish and destroy that.
OpenAI releases the newest version of the AI model that powers its popular ChatGPT chatbot, with CEO Sam Altman promoting it as like having a “team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket.”

OpenAI says its latest version of the popular AI model is better at coding, more accurate and less deceptive than previous versions.

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

Abyssal Archive feeds the lore-obsessed, Soul Arts captivates the art admirer and Modern Ruins beckons the urban explorer. Which will you pick up next?
