Radial: Valentine's Day [Take Two] by Pax Asteriae Can Alex FINALLY celebrate Valentine's Day?

And the splash (hah) image for Valentine's Day [Take Two], which appears to *now* have been shadowbanned by Itch.

Weirdly, before I took everything down, although the first one (no sex) was shadowbanned, this one (explicit talk) *wasn't*. 🙄

The Fatal Frame 2 remake is coming out much sooner than I expected. 😯

I wonder if the Fallen Woman will continue to be an utter late-game pest? (She's scary when she drops from a high ceiling; she's just bloody annoying when she drops repeatedly from a low one.)

Gen A.I. barons want us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to build hell and have us pay for it.

Forest Relic 2: Crafting Update - Gator Days Panel 1 Gustopher has found something amazing in the woods. It's a stick! Sticks are cool. He runs to show it to Hannah. Gustopher: HANNAH! Check of this stick! Panel 2 Hannah does agree that the stick is admirable but she is not one to be outdone. She has also found something interesting in the woods. Hannah: Yeah, that's cool. But is it cooler than this rock? She holds up a smooth oval shaped rock. It's one of those ones that would be amazing for skipping but you won't want to do it because it's so good. There's parts that sparkle in the sunlight. Rocks are cool. Gustopher: Let Liam decide! Panel 3 Liam is sitting on a stump and checking out the neat stick and rock that he has been asked to judge. next to him is a little bit of string. Foreshadowing is a literary device. This stick and rock are pretty sweet. Liam: They're both cool. But what if... Panel 4 Liam has read the wiki and knows the ancient art of crafting. He has tied the rock to the top of the stick which has increased the coolness factor and improves the stick's bludgeoning stats while providing +3 INT. Everyone is impressed. Hannah: Whoa! Liam: Magic staff. Gustopher: THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

A little scene of that keeps popping up in my head as I'm working and I keep giggling like an idiot. 🤣

But yeah, tell me again how AI is so wonderful and it'll make everyone's lives ~so~ much easier.

And before you think "well, Samoan and Romanian are clearly easily confused," it also regularly thinks Japanese is Swedish. Anyone want to tell me when Swedish started using kana and kanji?

Also, Google Translate took one look at this Romanian post and thought it was Samoan(???). And in Samoan, it's quite lovely and says "The family was small in parrots and cockatiels."

In Romanian it's rather less pleasant.

I don't use the word, but as an ADHD person I've heard it A LOT. So, here's executive dysfunction.

Your brain says, "do this" and your body goes "nah".

The slap triggers a fight response and maybe adrenaline, which can push past... sometimes.

The world's on fire and marketing has felt weird if not insensitive, but I can offer some escapism to a demonstrably queer sect of Regency England. So, pick up The Lady and The List or The Gossip and The Guest and take a little break 📚💙

"He told me I have a lack of braincells" wails the person now banned for using a slur towards the person who was, apparently, quite accurate in their assessment.

I love it when they report themselves.

I don't think this multiclass could scream "chaotic neutral" any harder if it tried. 😅😂

But even... how would it work? Dress in plate armour, sneak up to someone, and then hit them in the head with an axe??

Well this is a bit all over the place.

Daffodils nearly blooming. Yellow petals starting to show.

Good morning!
Nearly there with my first daffodils of the year. 🌱
Hope you have a lovely day.

So relaxed! 😍

Nice to see multi billion dollar companies getting even more tax payers money so that they can afford to spend even more money lobbying our government to give them more money.

ai companies: our ai product is so intuitive, you’ll forget how you ever coped without it!

everyone normal: huh this is shit

ai companies: oh man sorry to hear you’re too thick to understand how to use it, we should get the government involved in educating you

Wise words

A bunny stands in the snow, on an icy street after a storm. A penguin slides down the sidewalk, which is shiny and frozen over like the surface of a ski rink. The bunny is standing in a snowbank, reluctant to go on the ice

Daily bunny no.3212 lets it slide

But remember, consenting adults can’t use apps like Patreon to pay for adult content on Apple devices. *That* would be immoral.

All those dreams and sparks society beats out of you? You can get those back. Do it sooner than I started.

I just read 'happens' as 'potatoes.' I think it may be time for bed.

Hypothetically

If I were to start up a directory (a spreadsheet, really, with a form attached) of dedicated no AI creatives you can hire for your project

Would anyone be willing to help me vet those people before they get added to the list? I can see it blowing up real fast with artists

A Tennessee library has banned a book where cartoon chickens model historical undergarments and I’m sorry, I need this on my shelves immediately and probably you do too.

Had quite a few instances of this word, thanks to a nickname my MC earns. This one’s from awfully close to the end, but what can I say, I love a little romance. Even when it’s complicated. Ah, young love. ☺️

Anyway, Minji forever. And maybe in the few remaining days we'll get to see more of the other girls (because Heeseon is adorable from what we've seen of her, even though I think her feelings will only get hurt because the guy she was interested in is also in Mina Su's sights...).

Only she's allowed to be interested in multiple guys! If one of the guys (e.g. almost all of them) is interested in another girl she throws a fit. If they even *talk* to another girl, she sulks. "No one noticed I fainted!" Because she didn't! Then talks shit behind their backs in English to Samuel.
