i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

I used to exclusively take fishing poses like this, scenic shots with basic posing. But this one has always been one of my favorites, long before Kasa's time.

I don't know how this billboard means this but I like to believe it's adversarial, like a "We must outdo the Soviets" kind of deal

In ARR and particular parts of HW, oh yeah. She has no patience for people who use politeness to hide knives in their words. But as time goes on and she mellows out she tends to get more careful with her words. Sometimes she's even poetic. Sometimes.

Is your wol / oc ‘tactless’ or are they careful with their words? Is this something they are unaware of?

Libraries, like public schools, are FREE to the user. But they are funded. And when you use them, a record is made. The popularity of a work can be charted. Piracy offers no similar exposure.

bro copyright is so good for creators you can make something that's about to be turned into a huge fucking franchise directed by michael bay and some predatory company can take it from you for pennies and lock you out of it with legal threats

It's kept happening since the Virtual Boy thing and I'm scared.
"Sentai 2026 is happening guys but it's not a team and they're all looking like Metal Hero designs and they're not calling it Sentai and it's gonna be shorter shows oer-"
Just say 'Metal Hero is back' and leave it at that you weird rumor mill people.
I'll laugh so hard if it is.

I bolt awake at night and frantically scribble something on a notepad by my desk before immediately returning to sleep. You pore over the notepad only to see "Highlander vs The Ghostbusters" written over and over again in increasingly illegible handwriting. Another failure.

Do not take assets from another fucken game and put it behind a paywall here!! It should be a big ass fucken no. If you port it for someone and they want to pay you privately for your time. Sure. BUT TAKEN AN ALREADY MADE ASSET THEN PUTTING IT BEHIND A PAYWALL IS CRAZY.
