One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

The death of Flash basically killing an entire segment of independent and free game development overnight is one of those things that never really gets spoken about, which is a real shame because a lot of that first generation of Newgrounds talent did break into the animation and games industries.
I genuinely think kids in the mid-to-late aughts growing up on emulators (read: piracy) may genuinely have been far, far healthier for the future of the industry than all the kids growing up on stuff like Roblox being the norm.
THIS SHIT'S GOTTA BE RUINING KIDS EXPERIENCES WITH GAMING FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

They're so committed to the "human/forerunner" Halo retcon that they have to remake the whole first game to push the narrative to an entire new console audience with ai voices to cover up inconvenient dialogue and all new missions about how humans and forerunners are definitely different species

I don't want to sound overdramatic but I believe real estate agents should be tried in the Hague. Right after all the actual landlords are... huh? Sorry, post cancelled, my lawyer is shaking her head and waving her hand in front of her neck, I'm gonna go see what's wrong, she might be choking.

I don't think I've ever had as many technical problems with a game as I've had with the new(ish) Indiana Jones game. On the bright side, when it does decide to work and I get several hours of flawless playtime, it's very tedious and repetitive.

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech
