I was also employed at a Nintendo licensed event so technically everything I say can be prefaced with "former Nintendo employee"

Firefox has imbedded ai. Yes you can disable it allegedly but this ad is a pisspoor smokescreen to try and make themselves look better than they are

IGN@ign.com

Firefox has brought back several early 2000s memes, from Numa Numa Guy to Success Kid, in a new ad that takes aim at big tech and AI.

there are like twenty lessons you could take from the response to Coyote vs. ACME but I'm sure the one executives will take away - if any - will be "we have to send characters to court"

ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social

‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ has officially been submitted for consideration for Best Animated Film at the Oscars. (via @nextbestpicture.bsky.social)

looking forwards to the next Despicable Me movie where Gru gets sued and they make a joke like "this courtroom hasn't been this chaotic since we had a coyote as defendant"

every single reporting of this new feature is extremely obnoxious because its fearmongering about a highly requested feature that stems from discussions surrounding troubleshooting and whatnot becoming relegated to closed off discord servers instead of public forums and discussion boards.

"we need to differentiate between vibecoded and using ai as an assist in coding" idk about you but I don't think there's much of a difference between using diarrhea as an ingredient while baking a cake vs just putting diarrhea on a plate and calling it a day they're both diarrhea

"this man.... was killed by birds" "like, bird-birds, British women, or a secret third thing?" "BIRDS"

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net

HBO is officially developing ‘THE BIRDS’, a new series inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's film. Starring Sarah Snook, the series is a modern-day reimagining of the film set in Alaska with a murder mystery at the center. (Source: Deadline)

"I plagiarized a bunch of games actively being sold on modern consoles to make a browser version of those games that I released publicly but then I decided I didn't like the ai I used in it so I took it down" is so funny honestly

"it's weird how Canada wants to just kill people instead of putting more money into healthcare" idk man I think if the US alone euthanized people after they lost capacity to decide then the entire world would be a much better place

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

There’s a sign in the “Boneyard” of #LuigisMansion that Luigi reads as “Here Lies Mr. Bones… QUIET” but in reality it reads “Skelton is buried here” which is either a typo of a very funny thing to write on a sign… or it’s an epitaph for comedian Red Sketon.

Jake reposted

When you save your game in #LuigisMansion, there’s a little icon of Luigi’s face next to the details of your save file, but it looks a little odd. His face is a little rounder, his moustache is brown, the features a bit off. They seem to be using the character model from the Space World 200 demo.

My father-in-law is a producer It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder. We were playing iDOLM@STER together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to make Chihaya today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it"

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Kameo@kameoapp.bsky.social

Update, we now have a full run-down of the lore, and it's somehow *even wilder*. TLDR; Umamusume are a demi-human race born from the reincarnated souls of dead racehorses in another world, who are powered and have their very existence sustained by the power of love. What the heck.

EndSky@end-sky.bsky.social

So in latest developments over in the Umamusume world, the new scenario has done a full lore-dump and creation myth that establishes Uma/Trainer bonds act as a quasi-mystical trait that brings out their latent power. Yes, Umamusume are literally supercharged with the power of love *in-universe.*
