The premiere is over. You can now watch it at your own leisure at any time on-demand.
Aside once again from my one pre-arranged interview, this is the end for me.
Be safe, everybody.

This is it. Closest you'll get to a documentary on this. And aside from one single pre-arranged interview, this should be considered my final word. There is zero reason for me to interact with bad faith arguments at all ever again.

Going to start being more uncompromising with my friends who are currently using Gen AI, it's just not okay anymore
Let's make something clear for 2025
There is NO ethical way to use AI gen.
You are using it? Ok, but don't try to gaslight people, explaining that the way you do it, isnt problematic, hurtful and wasteful. Cause that is NOT a thing!
Happy new year!

If you're a voice actor and have an in-booth monitor that paths to a computer outside your booth...buy an extra-long HDMI cord for that thing.
Having more "leash" between your computer and monitor can be a huge QoL improvement (esp. if you have a sit/stand desk, like me) *and* costs less than $10.

So hey, let’s start off 2025 maybe making somebody’s life better in a small tangible way. What is a small practical thing—object, lifehack, whatever—that solved a small annoyance for you?
For me, did you know you can buy clips with elastic specifically to hold the corner of your fitted sheet on?

I wasn't terribly interested in watching "What If..." Season 3, but today's YouTube offerings are kinda scarce, so I figured why not?
I turned it off halfway through the first episode.

I’m glad this conversation is finally ****ing happening because the graphical fidelity arms race is the single most expensive thing involved in making games and it’s literally bankrupting people, for what?
Executives putting Back of the box thinking over creative innovation got us in this mess and creativity is the only thing that will get us out it.

Finished watching Secret Level and I feel so conflicted. I enjoyed most of it, but why in the name of the gods did they pick the tea tray shallow The Queen's Cradle for the first episode and the absolutely INSULTING Fulfillment for the last?
Serious, FUCK Fulfillment.
