Every single dipshit on the internet is talking about AI being real like a credulous idiot and there’s no escape.

the constant grind of semiotic violence from AI is so fucking exhausting man. read some text that doesn't say anything. look at some images that don't mean anything. here's some code I didn't write and quite possibly haven't run, presented as if it's a solution to a problem

The secret of most workplaces is that they don’t actually care about productivity or even profit, they care about fragile hierarchical egos (typically men’s). The only workplaces I have ever excelled long term at are places where the primary goal is just to be the best you can.

they really boiled executive brainrot down to one quote

it just always strikes me as a profoundly privileged vision for what society ought to care about. yeah we're not in the business of producing and distributing resources, we're here to make 40 year olds feel wanted for increasingly stupid reasons

these fucking ghouls should never know a day of peace for the rest of their lives

If you’re goth or witchy you should get all of October off to celebrate the season.

Pretty much all analog horror of the past decade owes its roots to local58 and widows bay bears a strong resemblance to brood hollow.

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Saw someone say on Twitter, of Jane Schoenbrun, “At some point you have to make a movie that isn’t about yourself.” No you don’t. That isn’t true

I'm so thirsty. I feel like I ate 66 inches of heavily-salted meat cylinder

No remakes. Treat the original games as art pieces to be preserved and understood in context. The way the games look with more limited technology is not a problem to be fixed.

read my visual novel if you like good fantasy literature but also have a weakness for anime tropes and also you got mental illness from going to christian school gigidigi.itch.io/soulsov

My TTRPG hot take is we need stronger prescription in order to make games sing. When you offer complete player freedom across character builds, itemization, and challenges you have created a fundamentally unbalanceable system. You have to lock *something* down to create effective friction.

So 20-40k viewers and you can become the most important man in America, interesting… good to know

When I was 17 and saw Rocky Horror I made a really embarrassing horny post about Tim Curry on my livejournal. Then my grandma died and I made a post about that. Then at my grandma’s funeral I found out my mom had found my LJ by googling grandma’s name & read that Tim Curry post out loud to everyone

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

i don't need AI to be productive. i do it the old fashioned way, by neglecting my relationships and physical health

I take this as a good sign to not watch the show somehow even harder than before.

my first novel, THE TOWER, is available everywhere june 22 2027 💙 pre-order: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

If Bluesky was really as dead as they say, could I do THIS?? (okay I am going to need this to do big numbers)

I think there are two gens, people over 40 and people under 40, and that's it and nobody gets to feel special anymore

Bioshock infinite has always sucked ass. Poor gameplay trying to shock me with racist bad guys doesn’t work when the game pulls a “hmm maybe the oppressed leftists are just as bad?!” The final three minutes being more interesting than the rest of the game put together doesn’t absolve it.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

if they're drinking nounwine it's fantasy. if they're snorting a verb it's sci fi

GTA sucks. just drive around doing chores and listening to top hits and mediocre jokes irl. do you really need a car with bad driving physics and a gun that sucks to shoot to enrich that experience

i’m sorry everyone, i’ve been caught using this table and a d6 to help improve my work 1 - Perfection—no notes 📝 2 - Clear and concise, great job 👏 3 - Absolutely fascinating 🧐 4 - Crushing it as usual 💪 5 - Masterful take on the subject 🥇 6 - Roll again for deeper analysis 🎲

"But we have to protect kids from TEH ALGORITHMZ!" What is The Algorithm (tm) showing people? Other people's speech. The entirety of this moral panic is directly fueled by a dozen people -- I can name each one of them -- who want the government to be able to control what speech you can see.

I have no clue why it was on that slide or who put it there, and every member of the crew I worked with is 100% against AI. Every aspect of the animation is handcrafted by real artists and I hope that people don’t use this slide as a reason to detract from how much love and labor went into the film.

And just from a dad’s perspective, it seems to me one of the explicit aims here is to make black girls feel like they are ugly. Like why else are you angry about a black little mermaid. And yes I take that shit personal.

I would argue that even the flat and cynical crap made by a human being is categorically of the same class as the Good Stuff, and as categorically different from a generative-AI output

My toxic trait is that I think Standard Time (where your time zone’s noon is solar noon) is Good. Basically changing the time zone because all our jobs fetishize getting there on some number is ridiculous. We couldn’t just let people show up at real 9am, we need to change the zone an hour!
