hey if anyone knows @frozensoba.bsky.social I'm pretty sure their twitter/x account was hacked and is trying to get me to engage in one of those fraudulent report scams

I don't trust the email on their X, so can someone let them know?

The “crisis with young men” is just that many of them don’t have hobbies except for gambling and this causes them to get so invested in Disney’s intellectual property that they end up wanting to murder J.J. Abrams and/or Rian Johnson because it’s less of a lift than developing a complete personality

a moment of quiet peace & contemplation for jory ⭐️ 2.5h, and easily one of my favorites from this series so far. we talked about a few ideas for it, and when they brought up tide pools and the sea I knew exactly what this painting would be 🐚

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

One of the cool things about being a scientist is that the answer "I don't know" to a question is actually super exciting and not embarrassing at all. It means you get to try and FIND OUT, either through literature search, asking a colleague, or deciding you want to determine the answer empirically
The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

One of the fundamental "magic of the internet" moments I've always cherished is finding a tiny creator who demonstrates surprising talent. A cool song with barely any views, a great new artist with a dozen followers, etc.

The thrill is gone, replaced by doubt for "unverified" art thanks to genAI.
Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
