I've been thinking about Veilguard's anniversary for months now. What could I say? What should I say? Should I say anything? I loved this game at launch, I love it today, I love everything it brought into my life. That's that (in 4000 words cuz I yap too much)

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Was My 10/10 a Year Ago, and It Still Is Today
Dragon Age: The Veilguard was never a one-off release for me, and it means as much today as it did last year, if not more.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I watched a lot of American Idol and I'm here to talk to you about ai
ihavenoplanforthis.ghost.io/friends-fear...
The early rounds of the show were obviously awful, exploitative shit, but there was a repeated refrain among the people who would go on to crash and burn in the audition. They were there because they just felt they were supposed to be a star. I don't want to dunk on people who were humiliated on international television, but what's interesting to me is how many people believed they could rock up and become, not just a professional singer, but a famous one when they've clearly never put in any work towards being able to sing. They haven't sung enough to know they're bad at it, which raises the question of whether they actually even like to sing. I'm not saying there aren't people who sing a lot and are still not great at it – it's me, I'm the problem it's me – but if you sing a lot and you're not great at it you learn that you are not great at it and you work at it to improve. You're an entertainer, you're there to give people a good time, and if they think you're not having a good time then they won't either. Part of the job is hiding the job. It's a double edged sword, obviously, and that's one of the things that's got us here, with people claiming they should be able to have the magic of art without the work of making it. It's not just that they don't understand the work, it's that they don't want to understand it. They want to inhabit this perceived world of the artist. They want to believe it exists. But it doesn't. Artists live in the real world and they do real work and it's hard. You do your best work when you're lucky enough to have found a great director, or editor, or whatever – someone who understands what you're trying to do, who sees what you're capable of, and who can push you hard enough to get you there. This involves arguing but in collaboration, rather than contention and, with the right creative partner, it's invigorating and satisfying and honestly one of the best parts of the process. A lot of people don't understand this and you see it on reality TV all the time. If you're used to creative work you see the comments of people like Simon Cowell (Or RuPaul, or Keith Brymer Jones, or whoever) for what they are: useful notes from an expert that will help a contestant grow. But to a lot of the audience (and honestly too many contestants) they land as criticism. Insults, even. The truth is you get to choose how much you want to improve yourself, in whatever direction. If you're not very strong and you want to get strong, you start picking up heavy things. You pick up heavier things this week than you did last week and it's hard and you have to push yourself. If you can afford it you hire a person to push you for you. You accept that it's hard and you do it and as it becomes easier you choose whether you want to accept that ease or make it harder again and get even stronger. If you want to become good at art then you start doing art and you're bad at it, but you keep going and try to be a little better this week than you were last week. You study and read, you take a class if you can. You push yourself or you find someone who'll push you and you get better. It's not easy, but it should be satisfying. If the process of learning how to paint feels like hazing then maybe you just don't like painting.

HEADS UP.

BSky added a feature that allows people to be notified every time you post. A fine feature!

By default, it's set to allow anyone to do this. If you are prone to stalkers though:

*Under Privacy and Security settings, you can change this to only allow people you follow back to use this.*

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵
