Microsoft has paused new users from joining its official Copilot Discord server

• This comes after users were commenting ‘Microslop’

• When that term was banned, users started testing new variations like ‘Microsl0p’

• Microsoft says temporary Discord lockdown is a response to ‘spammers’

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

doujinshi as the spiritual opposite of slop. wildly caring about a character/ship in an IP way beyond the extent the original corporation would. beyond what's "efficient", or tasteful to the mainstream (money) -- creating at a monentary loss if anything for the pure love of it. is this anything.

That said, My beef with a lot of cozy games is the Live Laugh Love / Good Vibes Only shit a LOT of them are built around.

Good 'cozy' games actually acknowledge negativity, and work with it. a lot of these mediocre cozy games I've seen over the past few years pretend negativity doesn't exist.

it's just the new version of "all indie games are roguelikes / pixel art RPGs about depression / boring first person walking simulators".

you'd think we'd be past this, but the general public have a habit of not learning fuck all.

as someone who has grown ever more bored and uncomfortable with this wave of cozy games: the backlash against it is so clearly rooted in a distain for anything femanine and an unthinking hatred of "indie games" as a whole.

You can't be a fan of superheroes, sci-fi or fantasy without encountering something that requires you to flex your critical thinking, and the same goes for cozy games.

"Are cozy games bad?" I think cozy is an aesthetic that can be used to whitewash awful human atrocities, but you can say that about most aesthetics. Cozy just happens to be girly.

The protagonist, Mae, is looking up at a war memorial statue. She's saying, "War is some bullshit."

if you cannot express yourself through the creation of adult sexual content(or even just nudity in general which isnt inherently sexual) because some dipshits in the government Dont Like It, then that effectively means anything They Dont Like is subject to their whims.
Thus, porn is the foundation,

so i actually, yanno, read the article (shocker, i know)

feels like it's less "all your work is shit after 30" and more that 30 is about the time where the stars align and you've accumulated enough knowledge, experience, and skill to try something ambitious that your body can still keep up with
