Something I never see these people answer is if this technology is so good and the tools are so powerful why do they feel the need to hide it from people?

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days

I am not one for strict gender roles but the one exception is that if you identify as male, it is a requirement of your gender to have a denim jacket that you make a larger than normal amount of your personality.

Last night @peachypopcos.bsky.social came home from playing at an LGS and said she “had something for me” and to hold my hand out. When I opened my hand this is what she handed me. I’m absolutely floored 😭 she’s so unbelievable and I can’t believe I’m actually holding this

A few months ago I remade a Twitter account to keep up with Pokemon VGC and I cannot imagine a website more designed to fry your brain and keep you stressed out and angry all the time. I’m so mad Pokemon people aren’t on Bluesky because Twitter is fucking awful.

The algorithm went from Pokemon and Fire Emblem memes to AI doomsday scenarios and right-wing election posts in a matter of days. Truly horrid website made entire out of stress and panic.

People complain about Standard now but for my money this was by far the worst era of Standard. Fetchlands combined with tapped duals and trilands meant every single deck in standard was some blue-based 4 color slop pile, and it also meant that every viable deck was $1,000 dollars at the time.

throwback thursday, 4c Rally edition. Shoutout to Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim actually being in foundations to remind me of this deck :O also a real shoutout to matt nass actually breaking it for that PT but it took a meta shift for this deck to be great #throwbackthursday #mtg

Imagine having to spend nearly $1,500 of today's money to grind endless 4-color Collected Company mirrors. Absolutely atrocious metagame.

Even ignoring the racism part of this, the best use-case Microsoft could come up with is... stealing from your coworkers for vague office clout? THAT'S the best case scenario you can come up with for this technology?

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I've never been a big BioWare fan but it is genuinely baffling to me that a studio this big could ever shut down. So many media companies are owned and run by ghouls who would fire everyone that worked for them if it saved them 1 cent on a tax form.

BREAKING: BioWare is shutting down and the next Mass Effect game is canceled, according to a new report. https://bit.ly/4ibWCiC

Yesterday @peachypopcos.bsky.social described how website certifications work to me and this morning I wake up to discover that a large amount of the internet cert system was apparently being propped up by the number "4" so I think she has the power of manifestation

Not to be an American™️ but why is there so much reporting about this like there were any real stakes? If Texas had a referendum to secede and presented it to the government, they would tell them they did a good job and then put it on the White House fridge.

AFP News Agency@en.afp.com

Canada's province of Alberta has rejected a plan to hold a binding independence referendum, results show, a setback for separatists backed by allies of US President Donald Trump u.afp.com/SCah

Unless Alberta has a secret standing army of hundreds of thousands of people and plans to issue their own currency and build their own electrical grid I don't think they're going anywhere even if they voted for it.

If I have to watch one more video of someone talking about how sick it is that vibe-coders are porting PS5 games to PC because they hate Sony I’m going to throw myself off a bridge

I have no love or care for Sony as a company but it’s so unbelievably lame and selfish that gaming as a subculture is completely conceding to AI as long as they get their favorite treats on PC. Y’all are pathetic.

ONE MORE THING I refuse to believe that this many people are still actively playing Bloodborne that you’re giving up to AI so you can play it again on PC. That game is 11 years old there is no way you’ve been playing it on repeat for a DECADE.

I'm struggling a bit through the new Castlevania purely because it runs startlingly badly on Switch. Like at a really inexcusable level. The frame rate drops constantly and the resolution is really low for a modern game. It looks blocky and hard to see on a modern TV.

The PC and PS5 versions don't have this issue and I'm really tired of companies not taking the time to optimize or fix their Switch version because they feel they can just release a bad port and blame the Switch hardware. The Switch 2 can run Cyberpunk 2077 lol.

Also really insane this game DOESN'T have a Switch 2 version?? The lower resolution I guess makes sense because they wanted it to run well on Switch 1s portably, but not releasing a version that runs properly on Switch 2 is kind of baffling.

I’ve been playing a ton of Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave and >Young boy >Peppy, positive attitude >Child of a magic mother and a normal father >Has a magic gem in his body giving him special powers These are the same character

In Magic, there are so many ways to express ourselves through customized art, tokens, and alters, making a deck of cards into a tiny art gallery full of memories -- and our community artists are essential to that ❤️ Tag some lovely talented folks below, and remind them to apply!

new Epic Games Launcher in preview - "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look." store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

I think probably the most unbalanced shinies are Xerneas and Yveltal. Xerneas gets a very pretty inverted color scheme that reflects it being the embodiment of all life and Yveltal just becomes Long Bacon™️

Another one of my @commandersherald.bsky.social articles is up! If you support @uwotc-official.bsky.social, you should also stand in solidarity with bored LGS girlfriends 🤝

As someone who is generally not in Secret Lair’s target audience, this is the sickest SL treatment I’ve seen in a LONG time.

You’re not seeing double. Four Magic artists took four of their own classic compositions through Jace’s Echoverse, and each one came out as something new. See what came out the other side when Duality Distorted arrives in the Chaos Vault, coming soon.
