Spider-Man: This whole situation is awful. It’s like Tom and Jerry if Tom was trying to kill Jerry. Kraven the Hunter: Tom was trying to kill Jerry. That is the central conflict of those animations. Spider-Man: wait what

There are no words for how evil this is

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Square Enix demands OpenAI stops using their content to train generative AI, but also says that they expect AI to drive their QA within the next two years, then announced mass layoffs for western arms of the company. Never buy anything from Square Enix ever again. Ever. Fuck these corporate ghouls.

The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice.
I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶

ive heard from industry fellows that Japan has been historically low on the importance of having solid QA in general so while this isn't a shocking move, it's very disappointing nonetheless

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

When you’re riding public transit you realize that what’s good for everybody is also good for you. If the bus runs faster, if the train is cleaner, if the AC works, we all benefit

when you’re driving a car, every other car on the road is your personal enemy

Screenshot text from the Atlantic Here is where the bubble dynamics get complicated. Tech firms don’t want to formally take on debt—that is, directly ask investors for loans—because debt looks bad on their balance sheets and could reduce shareholder returns. To get around this, some are partnering with private-equity titans to do some sophisticated financial engineering, Paul Kedrosky, an investor and a financial consultant, told us. These private-equity firms put up or raise the money to build a data center, which a tech company will repay through rent. Data-center leases from, say, Meta can then be repackaged into a financial instrument that people can buy and sell—a bond, in essence. Meta recently did just this: Blue Owl Capital raised money for a massive Meta data center in Louisiana by, in essence, issuing bonds backed by Meta’s rent. And multiple data-center leases can be combined into a security and sorted into what are called “tranches” based on their risk of default. Data centers represent an $800 billion market for private-equity firms through 2028 alone. (Meta has said of its arrangement with Blue Owl that the “innovative partnership was designed to support the speed and flexibility required for Meta’s data center projects.”) In this way, the data-center financing ends up being a real-estate deal as much as an AI deal. If this sounds complicated, it’s supposed to: The complexity, investment structure, and repackaging make exactly what is going on hard to parse. And if the dynamics also sound familiar, it’s because not two decades ago, the Great Recession was precipitated by banks packaging risky mortgages into tranches of securities that were falsely marketed as high-quality. By 2008, the house of cards had collapsed. Data-center build-outs aren’t the same as subprime mortgages. Still, there is plenty of precarity baked into these investments. Data centers deteriorate rapidly, unlike the more durable infrastructure of canals, railroads, or even fiber-…

seems bad!

I'm glad I'm friends with folks in the FGC who are more analytical than I when examining a game and slash or games because

1.) I value their thoughts and opinions even when they don't align with mine

2.) The juxtaposition of their thought process next to mine (pictured below) is funny, to me

i def thought it looked off. made his forehead look huge

true gotta fit in that raven shirt

i choose to live life

im soooo hoping they fix how weird the teeth are when the drifter is talking

American life is truly dogshit right now. Here are some things I have recently enjoyed:
— Jumping into Light Fierce
— Stale Bread
— Water without any Ice
— The newest season of The Simpsons
— Aaaaand Dirt

Once again:

I keep saying this but things oki setups, framekills, safejumps, and even combos are the devil when they are 100% consistent

FGC TAKE NOTES

In Super Mario Odyssey, there is a single Luigi who is somehow too much for the Nintendo Switch to handle. Bringing the camera close to this 8-bit Luigi in Metro Kingdom at night will cause the game to stutter and slow down to 5 FPS. This is the only Luigi who has this effect.
