now the question is, do I make a Berlin edition of the WoL stickers I made for the London fanfest last time.. I probably won't cosplay my WoL this year though (though I might wear the custom viera ears I commissioned for London fanfest because when else would I wear them?)

ahhhhh I'm going too! see you there!!

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

Definitely one to block right now to save you having to see their GenAI punk ass in your mentions. Seems they are brand new so get in on the ground floor blocking them like us cool kids!

i'm crying, i just realised getting the valentione's poster in ffxiv this year will mean i have the matching one to in my room IRL, as i got the placemat of that art from the eorzea cafe last year when i visited during the valentine's period 🥹 but i desperately want this year's event art placemat 😭

but yeah, i had the same thing of 'at least if i dont get a dupe ill be happy' and then i got nothing but dupes. crazy, like anti-manifesting luck haha

omg so i bought 3 different jester popmart blindboxes, all like 3-4 weeks apart, and i got the same one ALL THREE times. I like it, but to get a 1/8 chance 3 times in a row all at different times... i gave up lol. at least I like it, and it means I put one on my bag and dont care if it gets dirty xD

ugh, what little shits haha. hopefully its not a trend

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

also so many people i know have just totally given up on lifestyle changes and are fully relying on the weight loss drugs now and its concerning. i cannot believe there are fucking diet pill adverts being pushed so much.. like is this the 80s?

fr it fully feels like we made progress in the late 2010s and now there's been a boom of back to pre-2010 beauty standards.. like the internet has done a U-turn to society and now we're on a hellish slip'n'slide back to outdated and harmful ideologies :/

i think even when i was into j-fashion in like 2008-9 (and i was even classed as underweight by western standards), i was still considered too big for the clothes that were sold from import stores... it was insane and totally put me off!

LRP what it feels like being born between the 80s-00s

Do you also wash your shit-spackled toilet paper and expect it to be clean if it even survives the process? Do you really expect the product to not be tainted? Where is the logic?

hero to zero reaaaal quick

crazy how i went from wishing and aiming to one day work at Notable Studio over the years, pursuing the studio when I was active in the industry, to now not wanting to work AT ALL for them because I would not work for a place that asked me to use AI.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

😑

ive started blocking and hitting 'dont recommend these videos/channels' on every single video that has these titles lmao, im so sick of it

gamedevs it would be so sexy if you stopped using UE5 haha

Happy Holidays from all of us at SEGA! 💙

my whole childhood growing up being told not to use screens in the dark to protect my eyes only to watch my parents glued to their phones with all the lights turned off for hours on end smh

my wish is that our parents treat technology and the internet with the same skepticism and consideration that they exercised on us when we were children

😔🙏

people keep moving the goalpost to what the 'acceptable' amount of use of AI is in the development of a creative endeavour.. i'll tell you the amount. it's zero. stop your bullshit lazy CEOs.

i can't even access my inbox for previous DMs, so i don't even know if anyones tried messaging me since. the enshittification of life on this planet continues.
