No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

Incredible.

Mathematically, any optimiser will always revert to local maxima, either valid or imaginary; and the thing about names - like many creative decisions - is there are reasons for one choice being better than another but they are very subtle. Sadly โ€œbeing used a lotโ€ doesnโ€™t capture it

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOriginโ€™s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

Del Toro makes his Mountains of Madness movie in 2010 produced by James Cameron and staring Tom Cruise. Heโ€™s on record saying one reason it didnโ€™t happens was the similarity to Prometheus, so maybe if Del Toroโ€™s came first weโ€™d never have to suffer through Scottโ€™s attempts to return to Alien.

One of my favorite facts about this is that Del Toro was *painstakingly* crafting the fish man so that all the women in his life agreed he was hot.

He considered it a mark of success watching Octavia Spencer lean out of her chair to watch Doug Jones walk past wearing his sexy fish butt.

Sharp bend is an L, current is measured in amps, amp after L is something that makes things โ€œlighterโ€.

Of course this time itโ€™s all mixed in with neo-Nazism, purity nonsense, and transphobia to create an even more toxic melange but it does help undercut some of their nonsense when you think of it as what happens when nerds discover back issues of FHM.

This was twenty five years ago but the language is almost identical, not a huge surprise given how some of the major figures in the manosphere grown up in that culture.

Iโ€™m old enough to remember when all this manosphere bullshit was called โ€œlad cultureโ€. Itโ€™s the same anti-feminism, anti-intellectual, faux-ironic, narrow minded view of masculinity. Itโ€™s certainly darker now and lacks the โ€œcheeky schoolboyโ€ element but itโ€™s the same root issues.

I have never been able to play Metal Gear Solid 3 because I canโ€™t get past the notion that thereโ€™s apparent a jungle somewhere in the former Soviet Union.

With Darksiders 4 officially announced I can begin to annoy Souls-like fans by refering to it as DS4.

I believe Thief 2 is the only game I've played to completion more than the original Darksiders.

I think a bunch of us (absolutely self included) took Collective Shoutโ€™s โ€˜there was a rape simulator on Steamโ€™ at face value because it absolutely sounds like a thing that would happen but we probably shouldโ€™ve known better given the decades of history of conservative overreacting to sex in games.

Real fun seeing Labour in real-time showcase how liberal governments refusal to push back against monied interests and actually fix real problems leads to a lack of faith in political institutions and an inevitable swing to a far right that offers an easy target and promises of nebulous change.

Clue feels a bit awkwardly worded butโ€ฆ Death is Mort, on its head/reversed is Trom and some of skeleton is bone, so Trombone which is a brass instrument.

Under the knife 2 screenshot.

A CG of a character called Reina, you see her face on the top screen and her body on the bottom screen. But you can't see her breasts, oh no! But thankfully, Atlus was smart and gave us a close-up of her chest. I mean, we also get a close-up of her eyes and mouth, but I don't think anyone cares.

Thank God Atlus found a way to work around the limitations of the Dual Screen.

โ€œDoโ€ is the first two letters of doom (the bringer of doom), do can be a synonym for slay but I donโ€™t get the princess part.
