You can call me Char or Charlotte or Melos, I have no preference at this point in time

burning desire to be different, and etymologically it fits Ocean's family name if I ever were to go through the ordeal of a legal name change

And that's why it's the greatest OP to ever do it

But on a more serious note the song's namesake short story really touched me on a personal level, and Melos is a name I have thought for a while I wouldn't mind being called, for what the story represents, it has good mouth feel, it satisfies my

Potentially

It's a bit vain of me but I don't want people seeing my handle and associating it with the anime equivalent of Elon Musk

LMFAO

This hit me like a flashbang ngl

I'm on the infra team of the US division of a big big big company, and the enthusiasm for AI code at every single level is deafening.

The question isn't "does this game use AI-generated concept art?", it's "do every single one of the apps you're using have AI-generated code?" and the answer is yes.

Also as someone who actually works in infra/DevOps/SRE, I can say that almost every single professional project in 2025 is using AI to write code and it's not because it's being forced on us from above but because the devs are excited about it like kids in a toy store.

There's no shortage of good games both new and old that didn't use genAI in any capacity so there is no reason, no excuses, I don't wanna hear your hemming and hawing about how this one is different, you need it, it doesn't even use AI THAT much, etc

I'd rather you just admit you don't care if a game uses AI than to try and act like you care and still buy them anyways, it makes you look unprincipled and unable to control your most base impulses
