🚩 Distorting current events
🚩 Supplying wrong answers as chatbots
🚩 Impersonating audio

Peek into the back of the Phantasy Star III JPN manual and you'll see some of its cast of heroes giving out cutely presented advice for the care of Mega Drive carts.
A photo of the Japanese version of Phantasy Star III's manual, with chibi illustrations of various characters including Rhys, Mieu, Lyle, and Wren all giving safety advice such as not touching the contacts with water or ice, hot temperatures in the sun, or corrosive liquids. Don't sit on it either.

New video! Neopagans across Britain like to visit certain stone circles at this time of year. However, they certainly won't be visiting the one bought by James Corden in 2020.

Crystal Warriors for Game Gear!
Very much "baby's first TRPG" but back when this came out, I only knew Shining Force so I loved it. It didn't try to do too much, had big colorful graphics and simple gameplay with permadeath-- if you've never played it before give it a try!

Another piece of #Muramasa: The Demon Blade artwork by Takashi Noma most likely featured in an artbook. Creating awareness to make this game relevant enough for a re-release on modern systems and PC. Usual upscale/clean/retouch applied.
Muramasa: The Demon Blade clean artwork by Takashi Noma most likely featured in an artbook. Image depicts Kisuke wearing blue samurai armor and holding his sword with Momohime next to him in a pink attire with a green obi adorned with flowers, also holding a sword on her right hand, and the scabbard with her left. Behind them there's other character such as Torahime on the left, Yagyuu Yukinojo on the bottom right, and some other up top.

Someone has just restored "Daicon 3" from a rare 8mm copy.
It's the best version to date.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

With this piece of bread on the ground in Ottawa, Canada and the one below in Perth, Australia, @drstip.bsky.social and I have successfully created an Earth sandwich.

The hot dog vs sandwich debate is concluded.

If the Earth is sandwiched, everything is a sandwich.

HAPPY EARTH SANDWICH DAY!
