Why I have essentially stepped towards nihilism in my 40's. All the time I spent chasing things I thought important in my 20's was wasted, and my 30's were spent trying to figure out who I am.

Now? If I see something I don't like, I don't waste my time. Might as well ENJOY the time I have left.

So many good specimens! I absolutely LOVE mushrooming, and giving mushroom tours sounds like a dream come true.

I know, I know... I'm such a druid. I can't help it! 😭

I dunno, I like balance in my pizza, and I am kind of a "classicist." Hand-tossed dough, brick oven fire, fresh ingredients...

Stuffed crust has that American chain restaurant vibe with a gimmick that stuck. If I want some string cheese, I'll get mozarella sticks as a side.

Here, let me fix the two errors in this statement;

"It is important to assume that all AAA studios are using LLMs."

AAA studios are getting their asses kicked by indie developers right now because of it. Know what? Good. Screw 'em. Let the goliaths fall, and from their ashes, indie phoenixes rise.

Illustrating a webcomic... yeh. <3

Hey, when you need muffins, you need muffins! Get those om noms to prevent fatal muffin deficiency.

Heheh, good old TTRPG memories. The absurdity makes the best stories.

Oh, this? It's cheese. Just cheese. It isn't a mimic at all. I tested it and--OH GOOD LORD!

Makes me think of the legendary gazebo. The gazebo that echoes in the halls of D&D lore for centuries...

They post that like it is an option. I can't pay that premium. NO ONE I KNOW CAN PAY THAT PREMIUM. This isn't a case of budgeting to allow for the increase in cost of living.

You're better off getting the healthcare without insurance, letting the bill go to collections, and declaring bankruptcy.

Yeh, I feel this. I kinda let D&D go since a heavily modified Burning Wheel ruleset fit my homebrew so much better.

Mostly collaborative storytelling roleplay, a low-powered magic system customized to each character, and a post-collapse survivalist vibe. A closed system just had no place, really.

Having a model isn't pretentious.

A viewer doing a biased, cynical, and derisive assessment of your content as if they were a pro streamer on a corpo interview board and expecting you to completely change your medium to appease them is far more pretentious.

They may want to look up that word...

They are so smol! So cute! Little robits!

Accidentally. 😆

Seriously. I met them all through a series of what seems like events driven by entropy.

Nightshade, GreenFledgling, ZiJaye, A_i_42, MrBrogath, LadyNymue, Zombierabbit, Aki, ItsItsune, Inucaza... the list just keeps going, all simply coincidental meetings ending in relationships.

When I worked as a paramedic, community assistance was offered to those in need, employed or not. People needing help aren't the ones who should be shunned.
It is as they say; "poverty doesn't exist because assistance needs to be provided to the poor, poverty exists because the rich are insatiable."

Heheh, just one step closer everyday to Idiocracy becoming a documentary.

Happy to spread to word. ^_^

There's SO many privacy, account security and vulnerability, and system integrity issues tied into this, it isn't even funny...

Nope. Not laughing.

At all.

You're good with 10. Microsoft made A.I. mandatory in 11 without an opt out and is closing doors on workarounds as they crop up.

According to their press release, the goal is to have it make changes to your environment that it "thinks you want or need" with priveleges and access to your camera/mic.
