So when Catullus insults Lesbia with "milia ilia rumpens", what's the intent? To shame her promiscuity or to say she's bad because she's rupturing penises? Or something else?

Totally, totally. (Especially with the art). The meanness in Dahl is to the horrors in the world, not to the innocents.

I've been broadly skeptical BF6 for various reasons but apparently it's shipping with a bespoke version of Godot as a user map editor?

That's like, genuinely sick as hell.

My son (8) reads comics & graphic novels relentlessly. Dog Man, Jamie Smart, the excellent (subversive) My Little Pony books, the Sonic books... Just not the Marvel/DC stuff.

Strong agree. Bullying of "ugly/fat/weird" people is so unattractive.

Yeah, they're normally terrible or mimimal games with porn tacked on.

The industry's problem summed up, right there.

"do not write on this paper"

mister rogers says to become enraged and this is not a joke

So the actual uses I’ve found for AI are very technical to my areas of work. It is great at reading a complex piece of text and rewording a paragraph I couldn’t understand until it is clear. It’s helpful for language-learning where it can talk me through the grammar of a chewy sentence.

Also, look at what comfort food floats to the surface when games are 'free'...

Why did Miss Piggy never get married?

She was afraid of Kermitment.

(sorrrrry)

A quick google suggests the completed Horus Heresy series is 6.37 times longer than the whole of Proust's big boy. Motion to rename the series "Remembrancers of Things Past".

À la recherche du primarchs perdu

Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material After delisting thousands of games with adult or NSFW sexual material, indie store Itch are looking to move away from Paypal and Stripe.

Itch is looking into it, apparently. www.rockpapershotgun.com/itchio-are-s...

I completely missed that this has been going on, on account of society in general

also let me just say both the quoted video and this attached video look incredibly fake, bad computer render territory, which is the surest sign it's real, if this was fake they'd make it a lot more convincing looking

If you feel like that, think kindly of we who were there before the sun rose over Middle Earth, who saw the sinking of Beleriand...

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

These updated requirement bits are interesting:
"* Documented age and identity verification for all people depicted and those uploading the content." (Surely only affects FMV games).
* Content review process prior to publication." (Big burden for Itch!)

* Complaint resolution process that addresses illegal or nonconsensual content within seven business days. (Can't see that Steam or Itch would have this in place.)
* Appeals process allowing for any person depicted to request their content be removed. (Ditto.)

Dug out the old changed Mastercard policy from 2021 that's now being enforced on Steam & Itch. Interesting read, can see how it kiboshed OnlyFans (until they got an exemption). www.mastercard.com/us/en/news-a...

I'm seeing a East Germany - West Germany financial equalisation moment, with ten years of wealth transfers from London and Paris to Skegness and Corsica.

(Which is to say, I support it.)
