I do agree! I didn't know this was in the game at all and was baffled. And it was so nice to move through as well!!! Such a chill meta intermezzo in a horror game haha. Remedy always has such quirky surprising things in their games, like when you learn to fly in Control (WTF), love it 💜

The last thing that I expected while playing Alan Wake 2 was an entire gothic metal musical episode. 🤣 What a ride so far! ❤️ #gaming #alanwake

I am still processing Wicked For Good. Great chemistry between the actresses (For Good!) Hilarious cardigan. Awesome moves by Michelle Yeoh. But so many funny or emotional scenes were clunky compared to the play - Wicked Witch of The East, the Dorothy bits, the Wizard reveal, the rushed ending. Hm!

fashion meets passion

My exact thoughts while scheming on my Carmila/Zestial fics during my commute to work

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Without downloading any new pics, use one to describe your gender.

I was expecting the AI Coca-Cola commercial to look like shit, but I wasn’t expecting it to SOUND like shit, too.

I’m guessing that was AI, too, because otherwise it sounds like they got the most disaffected high school choir girls to rush through a song they hate at the end of rehearsal

The strong Utena vibes of this second battle with Lace? I am here for it, letting the yuri flag fly! (I wasn't planning on shipping bugs but they made it happen!! 🤍❤️) #silksong

AI Has Joined the Faculty More instructors are teaching with it. Is it making their courses better or dragging the profession down?

'Whether professors are true believers in the technology's promises, feel pressured to adapt, or are desperate for help, AI tools are becoming commonplace in course design.'

Can we all just pause and consider the consequences of outsourcing fundamental critical work to AI? #ai #highered

If you see this post your getaway vehicle

The mommy issues, yes! BUT I recently read Reproduction which frames Frankenstein as a pregnancy allegory (already a key theme in the OG novel) and also reflects on Shelley's life / marriage. So yes, the milk relates to literal and artificial birth (Vic is both father and mother of the creature)

Having a great day at Dutch DiGRA today! 💜 Lots of ERC talks about different domains in games. The dark side like toxicity, gambling, platforms, monetization and the light side like music, play & education and narratives #digra #digranl

I think the bubble will burst and fuck up the global economy and then the culprits will sweep in to save us with AI as the public sector bails them out

Interesting CFP on animals and AI. One of my claims in the book is that an exclusive focus on anthropocentrism hides all the ways that contemporary capitalism is itself posthuman. IMO, AI is a perfect example of this.

It is so good!! Was on the edge of my seat nonstop & the twists just kept coming

it's so spot-on in how he captures these systems, but it's also very confronting and depressing. Curious if he also comes with solutions at the end of this book?

Reading dark academia, painful & funny. “It is lamentable that scholars who are ardent critics of the neoliberal university still rejoice when their Google Scholar Citation Score increases and would seemingly run over their next of kin if it meant getting published in a ‘top’ journal.” #highered

a lot of people regretting the 'this shoulda been an email' advice rn lol

you are very right; the ambiguity of this term is a key reason why it's so popular. Love your snake oil analogy!

The Problem with Vibe Coding Vibe coding, you might have heard of it. It’s a new buzzword in tech. The discourse around the word is largely positive, pushed by AI enthusiasts. Former OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy referred …

Vibe coding. It's increasingly used to describe how creators can work with generative AI. This is not without problems. Here's a short read about the phenomenon, which uses examples from fandom too, like the recent Song of Ice and Fire AI art controversy! nicollelamerichs.com/2025/11/12/t...

yes please and thank you
