Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

people hated on raid shadow legends sponsors (for good reason) but i would genuinely rather see that over brilliant (uses ai) or incogni (deceptive marketing) at this rate.

i've said it a few times already but i'll repeat. bluesky was never the place to migrate to from twitter. it had the same warning signs written all over it. it was just a matter of time. never trust a place that is fully free with zero monetization. because you become stats for the highest bidder.

Though I'm probably just yelling into the void here. I know that's on me, I never really did anything to grow my popularity or anything. But it does suck to have good insights into how things work but go largely unheard when shit hits the fan repeatedly. Ah well. I could use less distractions. ByeBS

And sorry, want to clarify since I said "never trust a place that's fully free" and then later proposed Mastodon. The difference is that Bsky is a service and Mastodon is software. Free software is fine. We have a ton of it on our computers. If you can host it yourself, it's usually okay.

tumblr did this same exact thing right before getting sold. they make it really good for us to build up a userbase. userbase is very shiny, investors and buyers like seeing a service with a big userbase. but oh no! theres scary stuff here "make scary stuff go away before we buy pls and thanks"

I only came here because this is where most of the artists I was following went. But even most of them either just posted both here and twitter, or went back to twitter entirely. I think the only real alternative is Mastodon, which, of course, has its own issues. But at least it's not censorship.

the music is part of the art of a game muting it and playing other music over the game is taking away from that art

I am pleased to share the news from Chaotic Enby "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited" on Wikipedia

Had an interesting dream. Pretty terrifying and depressing while in it, but a neat and wild story to remember when awake. We were all stuck in a cycle. We would all die (not at the same time) then all wake back up at the beginning of the cycle. Same place, same time, and we kept our memories.

It gave me some "what if" thoughts though, that are pretty scary concepts. What if you were a doctor operating on a patient at the start of the cycles? Would you help them every single time? What if you were the patient, and you stopped waking up? Maybe the doctor gave up, do you give up?

I still just worked at walmart in my dream. Was easy to just start walking out of work at the start of each cycle.

The terrifying and depressing part is that when we died. Some entity would ask you if you want to give up. If you say no, you would wake up at the start of the next cycle. If you give up, you don't exist in the next cycle. I was trying my best to convince people to not give up, with mixed success.

But it felt like the more people I helped, the more the cycle itself started to resist me. Including using soulless bodies that would physically stop me from getting to people who needed help. Then my alarm woke me up for work.

Absolutely devastated to have to deliver this news. I have loved working at BuzzFeed so much but I have to stand up for what I believe in. Please DO NOT send hate to anyone! If anything changes regarding this, I will let you know.

"guys we gotta get off discord" agreed "we should move to telegram" absolutely fucking not

hi dont post or repost unlabeled nsfw stuff please. i get some of you are okay with seeing nsfw stuff unfiltered but some of us work outside of home.

and yes i will still block people that dont label their nsfw and unfollow people that repost it.

#Brickadia Made a lil guy. And then Dread gave him a knife. And then he went on a murder rampage. (apologies for the double music, was watching a friend's stream when I recorded this)

They're also in the prefab gallery (knifeless) for all of those who liked this! z51-p99-a82

i probably need to go see one. i just. need some sleep. was hoping to set up an apointment with my family doctor but the phone just hangs up. cant even leave a message.

It's always wild to me. Maybe I'm just way too observant and/or vigilant. But I'll see people be like, very anti-AI and such. But yet they're good friends with someone who's pro-AI, but the anti-AI person just... hasn't noticed it. They'll talk about anti-AI stuff right in front of the pro-AI too.

And there's more than one instance/friend group I've noticed this in too. Though one of them is more blatantly obvious than the other cause the guy literally has an AI profile pic. Part of me wants to bring it up when the anti-AI subject gets brought up because it's extremely silly.

The other part of me doesn't want to bring it up because I always feel like it's a special exception for one reason or another. Like, some of these people claim to be highly observant and a good judge of someone's character. Surely they would've noticed.

If you buy a game, and then get upset that it isn't getting updates. If the updates were required for you to be happy with the game... Then, why did you buy the game in the state it's in? Not that? Then are you upset that it's not updating in general? Not everything has to be live-service. #gaming

Don't buy the promise of updates. Buy a game, play it, enjoy it, if the journey ends, then the cool thing about video games is that there's a lot of them. You can just, play a different game.

Getting increasingly frustrated with this site. @moderation.bsky.app continues to label art of girls in bikinis/underwear, not even doing anything remotely suggestive, as adult content. While art of guys straight up fucking still sometimes goes unlabelled.

I know I complained about developers removing their demos. And I do appreciate the ones that keep their demos up. But. Update the demo. Especially when you do a 1.0 release. There's so many games at 1.0+ that have heavily outdated demos. It's actively misrepresenting your game. #Steam
