Hermit

I know a lot of people, especially in fandom, are afraid of turning 30 but I mean this genuinely - being a "nerd" in your 30's actually rules

Castlevania 2 text box that says "fuuuuuck dude i was gonna go to bed early tonight but no!! fucking curse".

One of the many reworked pieces of content from Emerald, from the looks of it. Ruby/Sapphire. Most of the changes were story/sprite/gameplay related, but a number of gyms were changed too. Not sure why tbh

Scolipede my goat

Enormous alpha Scolipede in Pokémon za looking down at my player character’s outdoor cafe table in the silent imploring way only very big dogs are able to do, staring down silently, being Very Good about simply not leaning down and grabbing it

A Little Sip Of Coffee For Scolipede Please? A Little Sip Would Not Hurt Scolipede. Please Put Cup On Snout For A Little Sip For Scolipede Just A Little Taste

Let's respond to hate with love.
Let's respond to love with big love.

To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people.
I ask that you quietly watch over us.

Transgender people just want to be happy with the people they love🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Do not let these milquetoast white men content creators convince you that we are doomed. They are selling fear and profiting off of it. His health is failing. The cult has lost its momentum. The Epstein victims are actively making their case and trials will be happening, worldwide. The GOP is fighting amongst themselves about everything. Dems are winning their elections at federal and state levels. The military is being sent to cities to then stand around and get mocked. Judges have ruled it's illegal to be sent to blue cities in the first place. Alligator Alcatraz got shut down. They're desperate to hire people for ICE because people keep quitting. Protests are happening every week, everywhere. We are in a very scary and very chaotic time. Project 2025 is terrifying. People are being emboldened to be violent, and people are being traumatized and harmed. The country has been divided and damaged, but not beyond repair and rebuild. We will get through this, we can't just give up and comply in advance. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Hello, gray couch, my old friend
I've come to rest on you again 🎶

After two conventions and a multitude of interviews, that's another gamescom and PAX West wrapped 💪

was recently reminded of those incredible translated korean ff14 fandom survey results for "characters most wanted and least wanted for marriage" and to this day the compare/contrast with #zenos is hysterical
"he literally got rid of my inlaws himself"

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Happy 4th of July.
