Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

I love how Gmail has basically become a slowpoke meme for telling me when packages are going to arrive. "Your copy of Hades 2 is expected on Wednesday!" it tells me Thursday morning, while I know that it actually won't come until Friday

I did not ask for this service, but I am enjoying its failure

Take a moment to appreciate just how fuckin STACKED this year was for games despite the horrors within (and without). Great people making great stuff left and right, good lord

I mean this year was so stacked, though. There were always gonna be some great titles that got left out

Is it weird to clear Silent Hill Fโ€™s NG ending for the first time and then go out to the store to buy ibuprofen?

Yeah. Yeah, itโ€™s weird

Getting ready to take the dogs out and laughing about a meme, I said โ€œranibow sprimkleโ€ outloud as I left my apartment. The maintenance worker *directly outside my door* gave me a confused look and attempted a polite smile.

Itโ€™s gonna be a long day

We donโ€™t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are notโ€”whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
