(Pronouns: Any/doesn't matter to me) I do nerd talk, some political talk, and basically using a microblogging site as it's intended. Pro-LGBT+, BIPOC lives matter, pro-workers' rights, all that good shit.

Timothy, buddy, if AI use is something you feel this much deserves to be hidden, then it most definitely DOES need to be disclosed and maybe you could just stop ordering your underpaid employees to use it.

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

I'm gonna tell ya Australia, France, UK, and anyone else trying these social media bans for anyone under 15/16: I had accounts on forums that required 13+ when I was 11 and 12. Teenagers lying about their age to look at porn is a tale as old as porn. This tactic won't work.

Always am apprehensive about gender non-conforming characters being turned into trans ones, because I worry about people monkey braining things to "GNC is just closet trans". Bisexuality got that thing happen, that it's just closet homosexuality. Again, I'm not particularly GNC outwardly, but...

Yeah actually this is dumb. If you wanna browse then you could do something crazy like... browse. Algorithms aren't stopping you, corporations aren't stopping you, nobody's stopping you. Time and money might be limitations which would've stopped you as much in the 70s as now.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Using gen AI is actually lazy. People like to accuse workers and project teams for various things of being lazy for this or that, and I don't usually like that because it's disrespectful to what is usually genuine effort, just not the way you want or the speed you want. But Gen AI is different.

Hm, remarkable results, saw some villains who're very obscure get characters, saw famous ones not get them, plenty of room for expansion regardless. Pixar also could be fun to pull in. Do see some people not quite understanding the assignment though: Twisted Wonderland characters do need to be male.

Reminder to anyone who might need to know this: the chicken eggs humans eat were never going to become chicks, they're unfertilized. They're just a fowl equivalent of a period.

Amazon's dubs are usually shit anyways from what I hear. Anyone wanna fandub it instead? They're stealing from voice actors, might as well steal from them right back.
Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors

Fact that's not clear to many even as tanuki become more famous: tanuki are not raccoons. Tanuki are a type of dog, specifically the Japanese raccoon dog, a wild canid genus that happens to have raccoon-like markings.

So if Shadow Labyrinth takes place on Xevious and you fight Gamp, and I've only just briefed myself on this stuff, and Xevious games are their own universe, is SL effectively the main UGSF universe counterpart to Xevious?

Important to keep in mind Americans: if you are not white, rich, straight, and toxic cis-male, the Republicans actually hate you and want you to die. That's not hyperbole either, they actually hate your guts for existing. Important for anyone who votes Republican who isn't all of those things.

Extra section in Backstabbed in the Backwater Dungeon anime that's not in the manga that mostly forms the second episode, very odd. Though the scene might have been in the LN and the manga took it out for brevity.

Writing tip that Blizzard has done better in, and I noticed Marvelous did too with Guardians of Azuma: sealing someone, imprisoning, takes more power and resources than killing them. Not really sure where we got into the idea that sealing a bad guy is a result of being unable to kill them.

This is honestly my favourite allusion to Coyote & Roadrunner in a while. More animalistic versions of the characters, but still got the little noose trap there to give some of the Acme vibes.
