that’s a fucked up way of writing “news” on day 7, why do the N and E look like That

who were striking for AI protections, when hoyo could have just signed the damn agreement. some NPCs in HNA have AI dialogue.

it’s not just that one video for me, that was just the nail in the coffin

my issue isn’t just with the audio, especially as someone who’s studying game dev. they showed off code and concept art being made with AI, and were posting job listings for AI “artists”, and what looked like a Pom-pom AI chatbot. but for audio, they recasted 10+ actors across their games+

it’s a smaller side of it which definitely helps the chill factor

but it also increases the chance of one of the creators jump scaring you on tumblr so-

I got sucked back into mcyt, send help (or maybe not, it’s more chill here than I expected it to be)

I was worried how they were going to handle Cyrene- phainon already had a lot of elysia traits and by the end of 3.6 it seemed like Cyrene was going too much in the “waifu who’s personality is the TB” category, but she didn’t

the team tho… bruh why are you hiring AI concept “artists”, fuck off

because are you really going to tell me 3.8 wasn’t SO sea of quanta coded? ok

I leave the HSR fandom the same way I entered it- screaming about the memory zone being the sea of quanta

(image is HSR 3.8 spoiler)

anyways, time to go listen to frozen tides on loop and figure out how to stop my brain from making excuses as why I should to keep playing for sparkle and definitely-not-vita, instead of uninstalling for AI (like I did with genshin), which I should be doing

stellefly feels like stellefly, not like firefly is flirting with me the player. unlike Cyrene… BUT as mentioned, Cyrene flirting wasn’t as intense as I thought it was going to be. and she still got a lot of what made Ely, Ely, which I was worried about post-3.6

ending than 2.3 was that’s for sure lmao

speaking of 2.3, 3.8. They added lore for why they can retcon anything… i expect nothing less honestly. it was also significantly gayer than 3.7 which I find hilarious. stellefly is cute when there isn’t someone in your ear talking about caelus.

hi I’ve been gone. I got sucked into a fandom with less genAI and I did not fight it

in related news, I binged HSR 3.7 and 3.8 in 3 days. 3.7 pissed me off less than I thought it would. I cried more at the start with the definitely not signets than at the predictable ending. it’s a more satisfying+

they finally have someone to compete with. then they flirt about it. bonus points for the one with daddy issues speaking another language

Twitter is trying to gay hockey pill me (it’s working) and I was trying to figure out who the main ship reminded me of

they’re fucking phaidei. competitive assholes who everyone thinks kinda hate each other but really they’re the only two near each others skill level so they’re mostly just excited

now to find people who know of both because I feel like there’s not really any….

listen, I wasn’t expecting reverse 1999 to pull out a 80% copy-paste of my hyperfixation from the last month, but that’s certainly one way to pull me back in

What happens to disabled people WILL ALWAYS happen to you.

anyways, time to play the new honkai stories to get my mind off [redacted] this weekend

cyrene hated me, but I had 130 pulls and 50 pity so it was bound to happen. let’s see how badly 3.7 will piss me off………

it’s comical at this point

I got that yesterday too. I think the increase of minecraft videos got me……

ok it really only works for VODs (or current streams that have clips)

speaking of which, I’ve also figured out how to watch previous parts of an ongoing stream without paying

both on mobile, haven’t tried elsewhere

I found a bug to skip some ads on twitch lmao

they were doing the “oh i can’t fit this image in my banner what should i do” bit, and the quote with “i figured it out” had the 43k likes

(the first image was the flame-chasers and their banner was a graveyard, it was diabolical)

bro what happened, why am I suddenly seeing hi3 posts on my main twt, where I don’t interact with hoyo stuff.

also why does it have 43k likes, where did you come from

good news- one of the projects (the group project) I can back off on a bit the next few weeks and focus on other stuff

brushing sooo

infinite feedback loop of executive dysfunction

but I don’t want to brush before eating, and I was also procrastinating eating.

but then I needed to take meds, which I was out of water so I needed to get more. but I also needed to use the bathroom, and I didn’t want to drink while needing the bathroom, and I usually combine bathroom and tooth+

god I need to lock the fuck in and stop staying up until 3 am. I’ve got 2 projects due in the next 3 weeks and here I am procrastinating brushing my teeth before sleeping

I accidentally liked too many posts about twitchcon accessibility issues and Minecraft being down, and now I’m being sent down a rabbit hole
