I work in video games. I like cats, studying Japanese, and katsu sandos. My opinions only reflect me. English/日本語 OK

津波発生時はとにかく高いところにすぐ逃げてください。安全な高台や津波避難場所に避難してください。

as it is Spotify Wrapped season again, if indie artists are among your top played, please consider picking up an (read: one) album of theirs on bandcamp or wherever they have their stuff! streams result in very little revenue for musicians and they gotta eat too

Hard agree, would love to see Octopath get the Distant Worlds treatment. I still listen to the Octopath I soundtrack pretty much daily.

In particular:

This year's GUDAGUDA has been a lot of fun as a Sengoku Jidai enthusiast. I get Okehazama references AND Shingen and Kenshin bickering.

Another for the Shinsengumi collection. I want to say I have them all? I'm digging Shinpachi so far, though he's no SHINSENGUMI DAAAAA (Hijikata) or Saito "Jim from the office looking into the camera" Hajime.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

They can't care about art or human creativity. They most certainly cannot be passionate about the environment, sustainability, or their local communities. It seems unlikely that they have any pride in their own abilities.

So, what matters here?

In a lot of the genAI conversations I see in various places, I find myself wondering 'what does this person stand for?' and 'what do they actually believe in?', and I feel like answer I usually come away with is powerful self-interest - the desire to not have to earn, bargain, or respect balance.

Another GUDAGUDA event which means it's time for me and the three other Saito Hajime fans in the US to live our best lives.

“A big part of the high stock prices is not a reflection of high future growth,” he said. Rather, it is a sign that A.I. is expected to boost productivity and shrink employment. “The firms all think they’re going to shed a lot of labor, and that’s why the profits will be high,” he said.

And while the construction of data centers to power artificial intelligence is fueling economic growth now, these centers, once built, employ skeleton staffs.

The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing.

I met this good older gentleman today. He liked me but was disappointed that I did not give him any cheese.

Hey there! I've tried to get in touch a few times, but I need to update the address I have on record for the physical edition of the magazine. How would I go about doing so? :)

Most of our stuff has been packed for the move since last Saturday, which has led me to playing my Steam deck more, which has led me to discovering Megabonk, which has led me into (delightful) madness. What an extremely fun video game.
