Captain Daggers McTimbers 🗡️ (Harriet Morris)

Train Sim World! It’s the game I work on, but we were doing a livestream (as a team) for charity. So I wrote a one shot that was able to fit with what we do at Dovetail!

And it’s just used for EVERYTHING and it’s so annoying and it’s making us stupider.

I remember seeing a discussion from a TTRPG DM that used AI for their homebrew. Literally just use someone else's. Give them the clicks. There are so many FREE, creative homebrews out there.

I made a train a mimic for a TSW-themed TTRPG homebrew for charity last year. Didn't get THAT from AI.

I don't love how people seem to be OK with theft when it's words when it comes to AI, but they acknowledge the shit when it's images, video or music.

Words is art, thought and care too. I don't want writing twisted into sending an email. Just ask a human or Google how to write an email...

Everytime I see this clip I go "I'M FROM WHERE HACKER IS FROM" very proudly. Because why wouldn't I be proud of that? Icon.

We’re just innocent men

The funny thing about working on a train driving sim game is that when someone reports an issue, I have to ask what platform they're on.

Even though I can clearly see they're reporting the issue on Platform 5.

IS THAF RHYS DARBY??

I’m the only woman a transphobe should fear in the bathroom; An angry, aggressively defensive, Northern English, cis woman that can fight and WILL 100% be a significant problem if I see you being transphobic.

“Some of us aren’t creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT!” Well then maybe you should sit this one out.

Y’ALL THIS IS NOT HOW WE’VE BEEN USING AI IN GAMES

We haven’t been using it to generate. Oh my god I NEED people to learn what the difference is. (Not you Seamus, you’re one of the smartest people I know.)

The person who wrote this simultaneously demonstrates a deep lack of understanding and also an extraordinary deficit of seriousness in a very remarkably small number of words.

Honestly. I don’t think I’m smart enough for the maths bit, but I think I’d be so good at it.

We’re back in our ‘Superman is kind’ era 🥹

It felt so HOPEFUL

It’s terrible. The lines on the magazine are blurred together, James Gunn has one eye slightly closed and one eye looking past the thing he’s supposed to be reading, they’re all so weirdly smooth. The upscaling has deleted David Corenswet’s eyebrows for some reason. It’s just hideous.

“AI is really good at upscaling so I think the environment can take a hit for that!”
The upscaling in question:

It’s been a couple of weeks but I still get a surge of hope whenever I think about Superman.

The Codenames: Back to Hogwarts announcement, which has very few likes and lots of replies and quote tweets

Since Codenames (/publisher Czech Games Edition) has decided to side with money and against human rights, im going to make a thread of five board games you could play instead of Codenames

YESSSS WELL DONE DARLING

It’s a TENS machine! Helps with muscular pain, but also helps distract me from the odd bout of nerve pain.

Needed to break out the emergency mental health Macarena after the day I’ve had

You maybe indifferent to the games being pulled from steam or shadow banned from itch but that’s just the easy to remove stuff that’s seen as too much that’s not the end goal they will push to remove more and stop anything they don’t like even being made. They will not stop here.

a video game character with the words degenerates like you on the bottom right Alt: a video game character (the worst - Caesar’s Legion) with the words ‘degenerates like you belong on a cross’ as the caption I do love the NHS. And they have helped me and many others before. But they’re chalking her lack of eating up to depression, but she’s depressed because she can’t eat! It’s very frustrating and I’m currently chasing the hospital for information on her referral.

Me: The NHS isn’t perfect, but I’m glad we have the option of free healthcare.

Me when my mum calls me completely fatigued and in distress as her gallstone nausea has meant she hasn’t eaten more than a few meatballs in days and has lost 9lbs since SUNDAY:

I do like to have a little fun with the alt text!

Yah? 😇

Bluesky borked the crop so here:

Me in a long red velvet dress. My legs are OUT holy hell. And I’m wearing horns and red contact lenses. And I’m sat on a Fallout themed gaming chair but that bit is less scary

Dragon scale shoulder armour and a chain choker, also red contacts and horns

The last two descriptions combined as one! Red dress, all the jewellery, red contacts, horns, red lipstick and big eyeliner.

Sanguine; Lord of Debauchery. She’s either serving cvnt or serving heads.
