These incidents both happened THIS WEEK. They need to just ban them already. And once again, if you visit NYC, please don't ride in the horse carriages

So apparently everyone in the city is sick and DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO COVER THEIR MOUTH WHEN COUGHING @mayor.nyc.gov destroy them please

when european/uk people decide to move to the USA in current year

I just finished a run and during the credits realized this game is french THAT EXPLAINS A LOT

me and my friends have been loving this

I tried to get the ending 'right' by leveling up all the stats (ie pleasing the nobility, people, scholars, etc) equally and the ending i got was basically "you milquetoast, useless, piece of shit" fair lmao

Happy birthday to my cat Big Boy!! He's 7 years old today!

why does every creative subject have to be posted as VIDEO content now, no matter what, to get any amount of views. Just because brainrotted fucks can't understand art without the jangling keys energy of an autoscrolling instagram reel?

shout out to all creatives (illustrators, musicians, writers, crafters, etc) who now have to 'brand' themselves

A woman clasped my hands yesterday and told me this first one (I think? "the younger lesbian Cate Blanchett love interest") And a girl on the subway this morning stopped me and said "you're giving Paige from Charmed" I think the bad part is I've never seen any of the shows people name lmao

To put this in perspective, this was a position to design custom plush toys, and she wanted to give their clients ai generated images of plush that are literally impossible for the factory to sew.

Ol' Scratch@dreadfluent.bsky.social

Just had a 'final interview ' at a company with the owner. It was going very well until she pulls out "All our designers put their work into chatgpt with prompts to send it to clients, are you able to do that" Me: I...don't feel comfortable with that, ethically Her: then this interview is over

been reading Between Two Fires and enjoying it! Did AKotSK kick off a knight journey for me? MAYBE I want to draw the three mains - Big angry scruffy knight, small precocious angelic girl, and friendly gay alcoholic priest (found family 😘👌)

I've been playing Elden Ring with my siblings using the Seamless mod because neither of them wanted our game to be invaded. It has worked pretty well, but whenever there is lore, like talking to Melina or when Ranni appears, it cuts them off. Does anyone know what's going on with these glitches?

6 Sept

if you do use this mod, don't be a dumbass like us and use a game password like "butts" or "fartpoop" because it turns out.........someone else may also have that password if 'astra' and 'suka' are out there, I am sorry for accidentally invading your game. Also, change your password.

I'm at the point where I feel like we have to rely on the EU or other countries to put regulations on AI, rather than get any help in the USA, so this is refreshing

New York City’s public school system plans to impose strict limits on artificial intelligence and screen time in classrooms for the upcoming school year, including a blanket ban on generative AI for instruction and tutoring for all students below high school: gothamist.visitlink.me/ch5xEi

Did you know that you used to be able to rent video game SYSTEMS from Blockbuster? Like some weekends my family would rent the nintendo 64 (it came in like a suitcase) and play pokemon snap and goldeneye

I am a person who almost exclusively reads non-fiction, so me enjoying a fiction book, and fantasy-horror at that, is pretty rare. (why are my tastes this way? I dunno, I've stopped questioning it)

Okay, yesterday Connecticon posted an update somehow making this WORSE. - there is now a $150 refundable application fee - the ALSO increased the booth price by 40% to $625!! - if you are waitlisted, you MUST purchase a day table to have the chance to get off the waitlist

Ol' Scratch@dreadfluent.bsky.social

$50 nonrefundable application fee for next year's Connecticon artist alley?! uh I think the fuck NOT

Some artist alley booth price comparisons: NYCC (250k attendees): $580 AnimeExpo(400k attendees): $716 Otakon (43k attendees): $375 Connecticon...20k attendees

Is CTcon in debt? Do they owe the mob a bunch of money and need it fast? They would be making $27k more this year off the AA tables alone, not to mention a zero-interest loan off the application fees.
