to me the existential threat posed by AI slop games is less "AI slop games will steal our sales" and more "the onslaught of AI slop and the exhaustion over having to second guess every new game will make people mentally check out from supporting new games at all and retreat to their backlogs"

Netflix has 16,000 employees. If they kept half of that profit and paid the rest out equally to everyone, they could give each worker a $426,000 bonus this year and still pocket $6,825,000,000. Instead they fired 1000 people.

Netflix cleared $13.65 billion in net income this year. Up 33%. So naturally they’re celebrating by laying off 1,000 people. 6% of their workers that built those profits. All to save a little extra cash for shareholders. Apparently $13.65 billion isn’t enough for these ghouls.

For those you don't know how this works, when a video gets copyright claimed, 100% of its revenue starts going to the claimant. The only way for a claim to be automatically removed is to trim out the claimed clip, obviously bad if the clip has original narration over it. Songs have to be muted. -R

Anyone ever read The Feeling of Power by Isaac Asimov

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Another thing to remember on this bisexual day is that The Grungler is canonically bi. I do enjoy how it's become a term for "token cis guy who hangs out with a bunch of trans weirdos" but the original post was also about straight women being weird about bi men.

koizumi was questioned after the direct about ravenous and why the team is pushing this new ability for samus and he just earnestly chuckled and went "Girls will do this." and never elaborated further

this is very rude to cosplayers. I ask you to think of their suffering when you make designs like this

my meanest take is that you have to stop fucking doing this to perfectly good designs

I am not joking when I say this is one of the few movies in recent memory that addresses exploitation of the working class in an immediate and visceral way. This is the problem of our times. OpenAcme. Acmethropic. Making their living off the pain of 'the resilient.'

you get used to people assuming your work is autobiographical, but i find it strange that it is a lot of readers default assumption as opposed to, say, imagining i am not only a pervert, but a pervert with an imagination*. *a writer

I like looking at TV tropes after a movie for fun trivia and my gf was like "haha my TV tropes girlfriend" and I turned to her was like "you have a tv tropes tab open right fucking now" and she looked horrified and turned her laptop to me. And it was the TV tropes page for the movie we just watched

Friendly Reminder: 3DS, Vita and Switch all use a type of flash memory that needs an electrical charge every decade or so to keep the game data from corrupting. TLDR: Boot up all your games and make a save on them to help preserve them into the future!
