Can we vote on this at least, I'd like to put in for Cooking Utopia

Gotta be honest, mewgenics seems like a "reddit game"

Parody of the classic chart of The Hero's Journey, labeled as The Fool's Errand. Divided into two sections: Unknown and Unknown. It is a great circle. - Opportunity to gain - Supernatural Prank - Unheeded Advice Here, the Fool passes from the Unknown into the Unknown - Slip 'n' fall (intensification of error) - Helper (who always lies) - Old man (mistaken for wise) - Seductions and Temptations - Helper (who also always lies) - CONFUSION - Hall of Mirrors - confrontation with the self - Stumbling through the thorns - The Unforgivable Misunderstanding Passing from the Unknown back into the Unknown - (Rejection of the Goddess) - Coming home before he's supposed to

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

"ohhh i hate these AIs" "we should smash these robots if we see them" i see but as soon as a robot calls itself a hitchhiker, suddenly your ENTIRE CITY gets SMEARED for doing what NEEDS TO BE DONE

It's 968 AC.
An artificial sun shines down upon Doskvol. Autopods cruise down rows of peaceful, prosperous houses. Beneath it all, strange actors and twisted conspiracies work their shadowy agendas.

There's cool people at Rascal but the way they do things has lead to this being like their 4th malpractice controversy and the way their co-owner talked about their business model on their podcast made me go "oh this attitude is what killed stuff like Cracked"

Even if you hate Jay Dragon for posting war kills or w/e or want SJG to die to kill GURPS forever the kind of shoddy journalism has just spread misinformation and hurt all sides- it doesn't help you kill Jay, it just makes you look deluded when you defend the article in spite of its truth

OR, and this is my read given everything, leads actively put out a sensationalist psuedo-hit piece right before a pledge drive and to settle posting war grudges despite internal pushback. Either way I don't think they're a trusted source and people should have stepped down over this

There's various angles here but either they are just stupid bad at journalism and just made things worse for literally everyone involved through bad policy and editorial standards,

After stewing on it for a few days and taking a lot of stuff in my opinion on the Rascal Yazeeba's/Possim Creek Games article is that Rascal New just is ill equipped to be be reporting on labor issues and have fully crossed into being actively unethical

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

"the perfect is the enemy of the good" mainly comes up when the "good" thing on offer is extremely not good

if you feel compelled to run something through a little fake machine that determines if art is real or not, isnt it because the art is unappealing in some fundamental way that you should scrutinize instead of depending on a machine to do it.

a digital illustration of a smiley face (3 lines total) resulting in a 53.7% ai likelihood evaluation

Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but
"ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them.

So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

We should do gulags again but only for reply guys on here

Against my will, I'm impressed by your lack of courtesy and good sense. Here. This is a bottle of Cyrodilic brandy. A small price to be rid of you. Now, go away. And stay away.

Very Frutiger-Aero-style chat between two cute dogs and a cat. Text: hey guys im happy ur online. how are u?? just another wonderful day surfing the net. listening to my favorite rockin tunes as always. cool i am just relaxing at home i'm having soda. i said ass crack today can you guys say it to. no one else i know is going in hell when they die. (other swears are ok it’s mainly just that)

Art crosses boundaries in that you can have a scene of a revolutionary fighter talking about their bone-level conviction that the cause of humankind is freedom and equality and peace and a double digit % of the audience is gonna be like yeah that's right they cant stop me from saying slurs at work

"Florence Craye ran her Powered by the Apocalypse homebrew the other night, Jeeves. Have you played PbtA, Jeeves?" "I have not yet had the pleasure, sir." "Nor have I, Jeeves. Not a twenty-sider to be had. One would think dice technology hadn't advanced since the days of Parker Brothers." I took a harrowed sip of my energy drink. "I tried to roll initiative and was called an 'incurable gamist.'" "Most distressing, sir." "Give Bertram Wooster dungeons, Jeeves. Give him dragons. Give him dice by the handful. I'm a simple man, Jeeves." "Yes, sir."

Interviews or opinion pieces sure but, and like especially if you only do it halfway through so you ensure people don't ever get the full article, actual news? Sticks and hammers and rocks

I'm not really interested in publically getting publicly into trpg drama these days but the Rascal news stuff that keeps popping up has me utterly convinced that people who paywall news articles should be beaten with hammers
