Ah! how cheerfully we consign ourselves to perdition!

A poor attempt at sarcasm on my part. Though, I had actually expected by now that fans /had/ started adding Souls bosses across games.

When did Yhorm ever fight the player in Elden Ring... Unless this is some Nightreign related arcane DLC thingamajig that I am not familiar with (yes, I realise it's an edited picture).

Well, it finally happened. Someone trained an AI on my voice, and used it to generate narration for their YouTube video.

Feels pretty bad! Don't like it!

I've submitted a privacy complaint with YouTube - hopefully they'll take it down soon.

Absolutely 💯

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter.

They graded it.

AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt Attackers explain how an anti-spam defense became an AI weapon.

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Not only is this true, there are 33 whole-ass mentions of this in the script and each one is freaking hilarious

we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

25 years after its original PlayStation 1 release, Breath of Fire IV finally returns, available right now on GOG, thanks to YOU: the incredible fans who championed this legendary JRPG on the GOG Dreamlist 💜

If you're playing Breath of Fire IV on GOG (you should) I highly recommend to follow the small tutorial below ("Forcing Point Sampling for Sharp Pixels") to remove the filter from the PC version and restore its gorgeous pixel-art!

How is the Beano doing more scathing political commentary than most mainstream newspapers?

Yuffie hitting her head, going "dummy dummy dummy bleh" Barret responds, annoyed and sighing "Kids these days..." Yuffie excitedly and sparkly says, "Barret-sempai, you're the GREATEST!" Barret smirking: "heh" "the kids're alright..."

flattery will get you everywhere 😌✨✨

Great overview as always. Legends/Dash always strikes me as the time when their awkward localisation of his regular name "Rock" into "Megaman" bit them in the posterior. "Rock", "Roll", "Blues" &c, being music-based. "Rock Vollnut" being more natural than "Megaman Vollnut".
