There can be no greater sign of love for the source material than the #DevilMayCryNetflix series using two well known songs from #DMC5.
What a great show.

£67 for a single game is crazy pricing, what the hell. Gonna stick with my Switch 1 for a while, I think. I've still not even bought Tears of the Kingdom, so I have plenty of stuff to explore.

why everything sucks online:
1) online ads used to pay for everything until companies realized that ads didn't work that well
2) the companies that owned the ad systems need something that makes money since ads are working less
3) the people making stuff still needed the money that ads gave them

I saw Google’s Gemini AI erase image watermarks. I am deeply worried
Gemini Flash AI model is removing watermarks from copyright-protected images. I witnessed it in action, and I am worried about the future of fair usage ethics.
