The hate for the left among avowed liberals, regardless of their self assured progressive belief, is more about being angry they were caught, embarrassed they were exposed to be so willing to entertain fascism, and be so flaccid to stop it, that they would rather themselves comfy and us simply gone

My friends and I designed a lil TTRPG about the absurdities of capitalism called "Don't Torture Puppies" and we're fundraising for a print run as part of Zine Month. I'll also be making some art for it! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...
Don't Torture Puppies
A story game about the promises that capitalism makes, the compromises it demands, and the complicated shapes people shape themselves into, to make those two things make sense.

gamers who think targeted harassment at game workers will result in them making better games: who raised you and why are you unafraid of a server spitting into your sandwich?

sure pink pony club is a catchy song and i get that it's touched a lot of people on a deeply personal level, but i would still prefer to look at a painting of a dude with a fucked up face surrounded by meat

Every couple of years I get struck by a sudden yearning to know exactly what the 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg was (or if it was just a sensation made up by some fabulist printer)

it's actually a gun, but I guess you can make fun of them, too.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Most want Medicare for all. Most want to tax the rich- hell most young ones have a favorable view of socialism now. You are on the right. You are not the left anymore because your political development stopped with Hillary Clinton

a) impossible, an LLM needs billions of points of data to output comparably non-shit material. even a limited LORA needs a comparison point with all the other artists the base model is trained on.
b) hey, did your in-house artists/writers sign up for their work to be trained on for AI?

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."
